We’ve been serving Walker’s Point and the greater Milwaukee area with comprehensive fire damage restoration services. We understand the unique challenges of this historic neighborhood – from the century-old homes with their intricate architectural details to the tight-knit community that looks out for each other.
Our team knows that Walker’s Point residents value authenticity and straight talk. That’s exactly what you get from us – no corporate runaround, no inflated estimates, just honest assessment and skilled restoration work that respects both your property and your budget.
We’ve helped families in those beautiful brick homes near Walker Square Park, young professionals in the converted lofts along the river, and business owners in the bustling commercial district. Each project teaches us something new about this neighborhood, and that local knowledge makes all the difference when disaster strikes.
First, we secure your property within hours of your call. This means boarding up damaged windows, tarping compromised roofs, and making sure no additional damage occurs while we develop your restoration plan. Your Walker’s Point home is protected immediately.
Next comes the assessment phase where we document every aspect of the damage – not just what’s obvious, but hidden issues like smoke penetration in wall cavities and water damage in subflooring. This thorough evaluation ensures your insurance claim covers everything it should.
Then we begin the actual restoration work. Water extraction comes first, followed by smoke and soot removal using specialized equipment. We clean and restore salvageable contents while removing items that can’t be saved. Finally, we rebuild and repair damaged structures, matching materials and finishes to restore your home’s original character.
Throughout the entire process, we handle all communication with your insurance company, provide regular updates, and ensure every detail meets our quality standards before we consider the job complete.

Your fire damage restoration includes comprehensive smoke odor elimination using advanced ozone treatment and thermal fogging techniques. We don’t just mask odors – we eliminate them at the molecular level so they never return.
Content restoration is handled with the same attention to detail as your structure. We carefully inventory, pack, and transport salvageable items to our climate-controlled facility where they’re professionally cleaned and restored. Items that can’t be saved are properly documented for your insurance claim.
In Walker’s Point’s older homes, we often encounter unique challenges like original hardwood floors, vintage plaster walls, and custom millwork. Our restoration team has the specialized skills to preserve these historic elements whenever possible, maintaining the character that makes your neighborhood special.
We also provide temporary living assistance coordination, helping you find suitable housing while restoration work is completed. This is especially important in Walker’s Point where housing options can be limited, and we work with local property managers to find solutions that keep you close to your community during this difficult time.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and can typically arrive at your Walker’s Point property within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical with fire damage because every hour of delay allows smoke odors to penetrate deeper into materials and increases the risk of secondary damage from moisture.
Our rapid response includes immediate property securing, damage assessment, and beginning the water extraction process if firefighting efforts left standing water. We understand that Walker’s Point’s older homes can be particularly vulnerable to additional damage, so we prioritize fast action to prevent problems from escalating.
During Milwaukee’s harsh winters, this quick response becomes even more crucial as frozen pipes and weather exposure can compound fire damage significantly. Our emergency team is equipped to handle these seasonal challenges and protect your property regardless of weather conditions.
Most homeowners insurance policies do cover fire damage restoration, but the extent of coverage depends on your specific policy terms and coverage limits. We work directly with your insurance company to ensure you receive the maximum benefit you’re entitled to under your policy.
Our team prepares detailed documentation of all damage, including hidden issues that insurance adjusters might miss during their initial assessment. This comprehensive approach often results in higher settlement amounts because we identify damage that untrained eyes typically overlook.
We also handle all communication with your insurance company, submit required documentation, and advocate for fair settlement amounts. Many Walker’s Point homeowners are surprised to learn that their policies cover additional living expenses while restoration work is completed, and we help you access these benefits to reduce your out-of-pocket costs during the restoration process.
Smoke odor elimination requires a multi-step process that goes far beyond simple cleaning or air fresheners. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generation to neutralize odor molecules at the source rather than just masking them.
First, we identify all affected areas including hidden spaces like wall cavities, ductwork, and subflooring where smoke particles can settle. Then we apply specialized cleaning agents designed specifically for smoke residue, followed by sealing treatments on porous surfaces that can’t be fully cleaned.
The final step involves advanced odor counteractant systems that actually break down remaining odor molecules. This process typically takes 3-5 days depending on the extent of smoke penetration, but the results are permanent. We guarantee our odor elimination work – if you detect any lingering smoke odors after we complete the job, we return to address the issue at no additional cost.
We carefully inventory every item in your home, photographing and cataloging contents for insurance purposes before any cleaning or restoration begins. Salvageable items are packed using specialized techniques and transported to our secure, climate-controlled facility for professional restoration.
Our contents restoration process includes ultrasonic cleaning, ozone treatment, and specialized techniques for different materials – electronics, textiles, artwork, and documents all receive appropriate treatment methods. Items are cleaned, deodorized, and restored to pre-loss condition whenever possible.
Items that cannot be restored are documented with detailed photos and descriptions for your insurance claim. We work with your adjuster to ensure you receive fair replacement value for non-salvageable belongings. Throughout this process, you have access to your stored items and can request specific pieces be prioritized if they have special significance to your family.
Restoration timelines vary significantly based on the extent of damage, but most Walker’s Point fire damage projects are completed within 2-4 weeks. Smaller fires affecting only one or two rooms might be finished in 7-10 days, while major fires requiring structural rebuilding can take 6-8 weeks.
Walker’s Point’s older homes often present unique challenges that can affect timing – original plaster walls take longer to dry than modern drywall, and matching historic materials requires additional time for sourcing. However, our experience in the neighborhood helps us anticipate these issues and plan accordingly.
We provide detailed project timelines upfront and update you regularly on progress. Weather conditions, insurance approval processes, and the availability of specialized materials can all impact scheduling, but we work diligently to minimize delays and keep you informed of any changes to the original timeline.
