We at Flood Guys Restoration have been helping Harbor View families recover from fire damage for years. We’re IICRC certified, A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau, and backed by 50 years of combined restoration experience.
What sets us apart in Harbor View? We actually live and work in this community. We understand how Wisconsin weather patterns affect fire damage, how local building codes impact restoration work, and what Harbor View homeowners need during their most stressful moments.
When your neighbor’s kitchen fire spread to the attic last winter, we were there within 90 minutes. When the electrical fire on Maple Street required complete structural rebuilding, we handled everything from emergency board-up to final inspection.
First, we secure your Harbor View property with emergency board-up and stabilization. This prevents further damage while we assess the full scope of fire, smoke, and water damage.
Next comes the technical work: structural drying, smoke removal, soot cleaning, and air purification. We use specialized equipment to pull moisture from walls and floors, eliminate smoke odors at the molecular level, and remove every trace of soot from surfaces.
Finally, we rebuild and restore. This includes everything from drywall replacement and flooring installation to final safety inspections. You’ll get regular updates throughout the process, and we won’t consider the job complete until you’re satisfied with every detail.

Our Harbor View fire damage repair includes structural stabilization, smoke and soot removal, water damage mitigation, complete deodorization, and full reconstruction services. We handle everything from minor smoke damage to complete rebuilds.
Harbor View’s older homes often have unique challenges after fire damage. Many properties built in the 1960s and 70s have specific ventilation systems that can spread smoke throughout the house, even from small kitchen fires. We understand these local building characteristics and adjust our restoration approach accordingly.
Wisconsin’s humidity levels also create specific concerns for fire-damaged properties. Without proper drying and dehumidification, the water used to extinguish fires can lead to mold growth within 48 hours. Our Harbor View team uses advanced moisture detection and industrial-grade drying equipment designed for Wisconsin’s climate conditions.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Harbor View properties, typically arriving within 90 minutes of your call. Time is critical after fire damage because smoke continues to penetrate surfaces, water from firefighting efforts can cause secondary damage, and structural elements may be compromised.
Our Harbor View response includes immediate property securing, damage assessment, and emergency stabilization. We understand that fire damage doesn’t wait for business hours, which is why our certified technicians are always on call for Harbor View emergencies.
The sooner we can begin the restoration process, the more of your property and belongings we can typically save, and the faster you can return to normal life.
Fire damage restoration costs in Harbor View vary significantly based on the extent of damage, but most projects range from $3,000 to $50,000. Minor smoke damage might cost $3,000-$8,000, while major structural fires requiring complete rebuilding can reach $50,000 or more.
Several factors affect costs: square footage of damaged area, extent of structural damage, smoke penetration throughout the property, water damage from firefighting efforts, and whether hazardous materials like asbestos are present in older Harbor View homes.
We provide detailed written estimates and work directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process. Many Harbor View homeowners are surprised to learn that their insurance covers more than they expected, including temporary housing costs during restoration.
Most Harbor View fire damage restoration projects take 1-3 weeks, depending on the scope of damage and reconstruction needed. Minor smoke damage can often be resolved in 3-5 days, while major structural fires may require several weeks for complete restoration.
The timeline includes several phases: emergency stabilization (1-2 days), damage assessment and planning (1-2 days), cleaning and deodorization (3-7 days), and reconstruction (1-3 weeks for major projects). Weather can affect drying times, especially during Wisconsin’s humid summer months.
We provide regular progress updates and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your life. Many Harbor View families are able to return to portions of their home before the entire restoration is complete, depending on the damage location and safety considerations.
No, properly executed fire damage restoration completely eliminates smoke odors. We use specialized equipment including ozone generators, thermal fogging, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize smoke molecules at the source, not just mask them with fragrances.
Smoke odor elimination requires more than surface cleaning. Smoke particles penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and subflooring. Our Harbor View team removes contaminated materials when necessary and treats remaining surfaces with professional-grade deodorization products.
We guarantee our odor removal work. If you detect any lingering smoke smells after we complete restoration, we return to address the issue at no additional cost. Most Harbor View clients are amazed that their homes actually smell fresher than before the fire.

Our contents restoration process includes careful inventory, specialized cleaning techniques for different materials, and climate-controlled storage during the restoration process. Items like clothing, upholstery, and electronics often respond well to professional cleaning, while porous materials heavily damaged by smoke may need replacement.
