Fire damage goes far beyond what you can see. Smoke seeps into walls, soot embeds in surfaces, and water from firefighting efforts creates secondary problems that show up weeks later if not handled properly.
You get complete restoration that addresses every aspect of fire damage. We eliminate smoke odors permanently, remove all soot and residue, dry out water damage, and restore your property to pre-fire condition. Your insurance claim gets handled professionally, and you avoid the headaches that come with incomplete restoration work.
The result? You move back into a space that’s not just clean, but actually safer and more protected than before the fire occurred.
We’ve been serving Shorewood and surrounding Wisconsin communities with professional fire damage restoration services. We understand the unique challenges that older homes in Shorewood present – from the historic properties along Lake Michigan to the diverse housing stock throughout the village.
Our team knows how fire damage behaves in different types of construction, from pre-1940s homes to modern buildings. We’re not just another restoration company – we’re your neighbors who understand what your property means to you and your family.
When disaster strikes, you get a local team that responds immediately and works with the urgency your situation demands.
Your fire damage restoration starts with our emergency response team arriving within hours of your call. We secure your property immediately with board-up services and tarping to prevent further damage from weather or unauthorized entry.
Next, we assess the full scope of damage using advanced detection equipment. This includes hidden smoke damage, structural issues, and moisture problems you can’t see. We document everything for your insurance claim and create a comprehensive restoration plan.
The restoration phase involves removing all damaged materials, cleaning soot and smoke residue from salvageable items, and treating odors at their source. We handle both the obvious damage and the hidden problems that cause issues later if ignored.
Finally, we rebuild and restore your property to pre-fire condition, coordinating with contractors and managing the entire project so you deal with one team instead of juggling multiple vendors.

Your fire damage repair includes emergency board-up and tarping, complete smoke and soot removal, odor elimination, water damage restoration, structural drying, content cleaning and restoration, and full reconstruction services. We handle insurance claims coordination, provide detailed documentation, and manage the entire project from start to finish.
In Shorewood’s diverse housing market – from lakefront properties to historic homes – fire damage presents unique challenges. Older homes often have hidden spaces where smoke travels, and different construction materials require specific cleaning approaches. We understand these local factors and adjust our methods accordingly.
You also get 24/7 emergency response, which matters when every hour counts in preventing additional damage. Our local presence means faster response times than larger national chains, and our community knowledge helps us work more effectively with local building codes and insurance requirements.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive at your Shorewood property within 2-4 hours of your call. Time is critical with fire damage because smoke odors become harder to eliminate the longer they sit, and water from firefighting efforts can cause mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Our local presence in the Milwaukee area means we’re never more than a short drive from Shorewood, whether you’re on Oakland Avenue, Capitol Drive, or anywhere in between. We keep emergency vehicles stocked and ready, so we arrive prepared to start securing your property immediately.
Quick response also means better insurance claim outcomes, as we can document the damage before conditions change and provide immediate mitigation to prevent additional losses.
Complete fire damage restoration covers three main areas: structural damage, smoke and soot cleanup, and water damage from firefighting efforts. We remove all damaged materials that can’t be saved, clean and restore everything that can be salvaged, and rebuild what needs to be replaced.
The smoke cleanup involves specialized equipment and techniques to remove soot from walls, ceilings, and contents, plus odor elimination that goes beyond just masking smells. We treat the source of odors, not just the symptoms. Water damage restoration includes extraction, structural drying, and mold prevention measures.
We also handle content cleaning for your belongings, coordinate with contractors for rebuilding, manage insurance paperwork, and provide temporary protection like board-up services. You get one team managing the entire process instead of coordinating multiple contractors yourself.
We work directly with your insurance company to document damage, provide detailed estimates, and coordinate claim approval. Our team photographs and catalogs all damage, creates comprehensive reports that insurance adjusters understand, and provides the documentation needed for claim processing.
We can bill your insurance company directly in many cases, which reduces your out-of-pocket expenses and eliminates the hassle of paying contractors and waiting for reimbursement. Our experience with insurance claims means we know what information adjusters need and how to present it effectively.
You get an advocate who understands both the restoration process and insurance requirements, which typically results in faster claim approval and better coverage outcomes. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.
Yes, but only when smoke odor removal is done properly using professional equipment and techniques. Smoke odors don’t just sit on surfaces – they penetrate into porous materials, get into HVAC systems, and settle in areas you can’t reach with standard cleaning methods.
We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and specialized cleaning agents that neutralize odor molecules rather than just covering them up. This includes cleaning inside wall cavities, treating HVAC systems, and addressing hidden areas where smoke traveled. The process takes time but eliminates odors permanently.
DIY methods like air fresheners, painting over smoke damage, or using household deodorizers only mask odors temporarily. Professional odor elimination addresses the source, which is why we guarantee our odor removal work and ensure you won’t detect smoke smells months later.
Fire damage restoration timelines depend on the extent of damage, but most residential projects in Shorewood take 2-6 weeks from start to finish. Emergency services like board-up and water extraction happen immediately, while cleanup and restoration work typically takes 1-2 weeks, and rebuilding adds another 2-4 weeks depending on what needs to be reconstructed.
Factors that affect timeline include the size of the affected area, types of materials damaged, insurance claim processing time, and availability of specialized materials or contractors. Older Shorewood homes sometimes require additional time due to unique construction features or the need for custom millwork to match existing details.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. While we work as quickly as possible, we never rush quality work because cutting corners leads to problems later. You get regular progress updates and clear communication about any timeline changes.
We focus on complete restoration rather than quick cleanup jobs. Many companies handle the obvious damage but miss hidden problems like smoke in wall cavities, moisture in structural materials, or contamination in HVAC systems. These overlooked issues cause problems months later when odors return or mold develops.
Our approach involves thorough damage assessment using professional detection equipment, comprehensive cleaning that addresses both visible and hidden damage, and complete restoration that brings your property back to pre-fire condition. We don’t just clean up – we solve the underlying problems that fire damage creates.
You also get local expertise combined with advanced restoration methods. We understand Shorewood’s housing characteristics and work with local building requirements, but we use the same professional equipment and techniques as larger national companies. This gives you both personalized service and proven restoration methods.
