When fire strikes your River Hills home, you’re not just dealing with flames and heat damage. Smoke seeps into everything. Soot coats your belongings. Water from firefighting efforts creates additional problems.
You need your life back. That means thorough cleanup that eliminates every trace of smoke odor, professional restoration that addresses both visible and hidden damage, and a team that handles insurance paperwork so you can focus on what matters most.
The difference between a quick cleanup and proper fire damage repair shows up months later. We do it right the first time, so you’re not dealing with lingering odors or structural issues down the road.
We’ve been helping River Hills homeowners recover from fire damage for years. We understand the unique challenges of Wisconsin homes – from older construction methods to seasonal weather patterns that can complicate restoration work.
River Hills’ rolling terrain and mature trees create beautiful neighborhoods, but they also mean fire damage can vary significantly from home to home. We’ve seen it all, from kitchen fires in historic homes to electrical fires in newer construction.
Our team knows the local building codes, works with area insurance adjusters regularly, and understands what River Hills families need during this stressful time. We’re not a national chain – we’re your neighbors, and we’ll be here long after your restoration is complete.
First, we secure your property and assess the full extent of damage – not just what’s obvious. Fire damage often hides behind walls or in HVAC systems, and missing these areas leads to problems later.
Next, we remove debris and begin the cleaning process. This isn’t just wiping down surfaces. We use specialized equipment to eliminate smoke particles from the air and deep-clean soot from every affected surface. Our odor elimination process ensures your home actually smells normal again.
Finally, we restore and rebuild. From replacing drywall to refinishing floors, we handle the construction work needed to bring your home back to pre-fire condition. Throughout the process, we coordinate with your insurance company and keep you informed of progress.

Our fire damage repair services cover every aspect of restoration. We handle structural repairs, smoke damage cleanup, soot removal, and complete odor elimination. You won’t need to coordinate multiple contractors or worry about whether different teams are communicating properly.
River Hills homes face specific challenges during fire restoration. Wisconsin’s humidity can complicate drying processes, and our seasonal temperature swings affect material selection for repairs. We account for these local factors in every restoration project.
We also understand River Hills’ housing stock. Whether you’re dealing with fire damage in a 1950s ranch or a newer custom home, we have the experience to restore your property properly. Our team knows which materials and techniques work best for different construction types common in your neighborhood.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to River Hills and can typically arrive on-site within hours of your call. Time matters significantly with fire damage – the longer soot and smoke residue sit, the more permanent the damage becomes.
Our emergency response includes securing your property, assessing immediate safety concerns, and beginning the cleanup process. We’ll also coordinate with your insurance company right away to start the claims process. Quick action in those first few hours can save thousands of dollars in additional damage and make the difference between restoring items or having to replace them entirely.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage, but coverage details vary significantly between policies. We work directly with insurance companies throughout Wisconsin and understand how to navigate the claims process effectively.
We document everything thoroughly, use insurance-approved estimation software, and can often bill your insurance company directly to simplify the process for you. Our team knows what insurance adjusters look for and how to present claims in a way that ensures you receive the full coverage you’re entitled to. We’ll advocate for the complete scope of work needed to properly restore your home.
Timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most fire damage restoration projects in River Hills take anywhere from a few days for minor damage to several weeks for major reconstruction. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment.
Factors affecting timeline include the size of the affected area, whether structural repairs are needed, and how extensively smoke traveled through your home. Wisconsin’s seasonal weather can also impact timelines – winter conditions may extend drying times, while summer humidity requires additional dehumidification. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process and adjust timelines if unexpected issues arise.
Yes, complete smoke odor elimination is possible with proper techniques and equipment. We use advanced air scrubbing technology, specialized cleaning agents, and proven odor elimination methods to ensure your home smells normal again.
The key is addressing smoke odor at its source, not just masking it. Smoke particles penetrate porous materials like drywall, insulation, and ductwork. We clean or replace affected materials as needed and use ozone treatment or hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor molecules in the air. Our process is thorough because we understand that lingering smoke odors make a home feel permanently damaged, even after visible repairs are complete.
Absolutely. We’re a full-service restoration company, meaning we handle everything from initial cleanup through complete reconstruction. This approach eliminates the need to coordinate multiple contractors and ensures consistent quality throughout your restoration.
Our team includes both restoration specialists and skilled construction professionals. We can handle everything from debris removal and soot cleaning to major structural repairs, flooring replacement, and complete room reconstruction. Having one company manage the entire process means better communication, faster completion, and accountability from start to finish.
First, ensure everyone is safe and don’t re-enter the property until fire officials give clearance. Contact your insurance company to report the claim, then call us for emergency restoration services as soon as possible.
Don’t attempt to clean anything yourself – improper cleaning can actually make smoke and soot damage worse. Avoid using household fans, which can spread soot particles throughout unaffected areas. If utilities are still on, turn off HVAC systems to prevent circulating contaminated air. Document visible damage with photos for insurance purposes, but leave the detailed assessment to professionals. The sooner we can begin proper restoration, the more of your belongings we can save.
