The smoke clears, but the real work begins now. You’re looking at walls that need more than just a fresh coat of paint. Your HVAC system is circulating air that shouldn’t be breathed. Personal belongings that seemed fine at first glance now carry the persistent smell of smoke.
This is where professional fire damage repair makes the difference between a quick patch job and a complete restoration. We handle everything from structural stabilization to the smallest details that make your house feel like home again.
You’ll have a team that understands both the technical requirements of proper restoration and the emotional weight of what you’re going through. No shortcuts, no surprises, just your property returned to the condition it was in before the fire happened.
We’ve been helping Wisconsin families recover from fire damage with the kind of thorough, professional service that Bayside residents expect. We’re IICRC-certified, which means we’ve met the industry’s highest standards for restoration work.
What sets us apart in the Bayside area is our understanding of the local building requirements and the quality standards that match this community. When your neighbor recommends a restoration company, they’re vouching for work they’d want done on their own property.
We’ve seen how quickly fire damage can escalate when it’s not handled properly the first time. That’s why we use advanced equipment and proven methods to address not just the visible damage, but the hidden problems that can cause issues months or years later.
First, we secure your property and assess the full extent of the damage. This isn’t just about what you can see – smoke and soot travel through your entire HVAC system, settle in places you wouldn’t expect, and create problems that surface later if they’re not addressed now.
Next, we stabilize any structural damage and begin the cleaning process. This involves removing damaged materials, cleaning all surfaces affected by smoke and soot, and addressing any water damage from firefighting efforts. We use professional-grade equipment designed specifically for fire restoration.
The final phase involves repairs and reconstruction. We replace damaged drywall, flooring, and other materials, ensuring everything meets both building codes and your expectations. Before we consider the job complete, we conduct a thorough inspection to confirm your property is safe, clean, and ready for you to move back in.

Fire damage in Bayside homes often involves more than just the area where the fire occurred. Smoke travels through your entire house, settling in fabrics, penetrating walls, and contaminating your HVAC system. Professional restoration addresses all of these issues systematically.
In Wisconsin’s climate, the secondary water damage from firefighting efforts presents its own challenges. Water can soak into flooring and walls, creating conditions for mold growth if not properly dried and treated. We handle both the fire damage and the water damage simultaneously.
Bayside’s housing stock includes many homes built between 1950 and 1980, which means dealing with materials and construction methods that require specific restoration approaches. We’re familiar with these homes and know how to restore them properly while meeting current safety standards. Our work protects both your immediate safety and your long-term property value.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Bayside and can typically arrive within 90 minutes of your call. Time is critical in fire damage situations because smoke and soot continue to cause damage even after the fire is out.
The sooner we can begin stabilization and cleaning, the more of your property we can save. We understand that fire damage doesn’t happen on a schedule, which is why we’re available around the clock, including weekends and holidays.
Our rapid response includes immediate property securing, damage assessment, and beginning the mitigation process to prevent further damage while we develop a complete restoration plan.
Most homeowners insurance policies in Wisconsin do cover fire damage restoration, but the specifics depend on your individual policy terms and coverage limits. We work directly with insurance companies throughout the Milwaukee area and can help navigate the claims process.
We provide detailed documentation of all damage and restoration work, using industry-standard estimation software that insurance companies recognize and accept. This helps ensure your claim is processed efficiently and you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
Our team handles the paperwork and communication with your insurance adjuster, so you can focus on your family while we focus on restoring your property. We’ll explain what’s covered and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs upfront.
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage, but most fire restoration projects in Bayside take between one and four weeks to complete. Minor smoke damage might be resolved in a few days, while major structural damage can take several weeks.
We provide you with a detailed timeline after our initial assessment, and we keep you updated throughout the process. Factors that affect timing include the size of the affected area, whether structural repairs are needed, and how long materials take to dry completely.
We work efficiently without cutting corners because doing the job right the first time is faster than having to redo work later. Our goal is to get you back in your home as quickly as possible while ensuring the restoration meets the high standards Bayside residents expect.
Yes, complete smoke odor removal is a standard part of our fire restoration process. Smoke odors don’t just disappear over time – they require professional treatment using specialized equipment and techniques designed specifically for this purpose.
We use a combination of methods including ozone treatment, thermal fogging, and hydroxyl generators to break down odor-causing molecules at the source. Simply masking odors or using household deodorizers won’t solve the problem permanently.
Our process includes cleaning your HVAC system, replacing filters, and treating all surfaces where smoke particles have settled. We don’t consider the job complete until all smoke odors have been eliminated, and we guarantee our odor removal work.
First, ensure everyone is safe and don’t enter the property until the fire department gives you clearance. Once it’s safe, contact your insurance company to report the claim, then call us for emergency stabilization services.
Don’t attempt to clean anything yourself – improper cleaning can actually make smoke and soot damage worse and more expensive to repair. Avoid using any household appliances or your HVAC system until they’ve been professionally inspected.
Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes, but don’t disturb anything unnecessarily. We’ll handle securing your property, preventing further damage, and beginning the restoration process while you focus on taking care of your family’s immediate needs.
Yes, we’re a full-service restoration company that handles everything from initial damage assessment through final reconstruction and inspection. This means you work with one team throughout the entire process instead of coordinating multiple contractors.
Our comprehensive approach ensures better quality control and faster completion times because we don’t have to wait for other contractors or deal with coordination issues between different companies. We handle structural repairs, electrical work, plumbing, flooring, painting, and all other aspects of fire restoration.
Having one company responsible for the entire project also simplifies insurance claims and gives you a single point of contact throughout the restoration process. We stand behind all of our work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both the cleaning and reconstruction phases.
