You walk back into a home that’s not just repaired—it’s restored to better than before. The smoke smell is completely gone. The walls are solid, clean, and safe. Every surface has been professionally cleaned and deodorized.
Your family breathes easy again. You sleep soundly knowing the structure is secure and the air is clean. The nightmare is over, and your normal life has returned—often faster than you expected.
No lingering odors, no hidden damage, no safety concerns. Just your home, restored with the kind of thoroughness that lets you move forward with confidence.
We’ve been serving Southern Wisconsin families through their worst days for decades. We’re IICRC certified, Better Business Bureau A+ rated, and carry every credential that matters in fire restoration.
But here’s what really matters: we’re the local team that shows up when you need us most. Story Hill homeowners know they can count on us because we’ve been here, helping neighbors recover from fire damage, for 50 years.
We understand Wisconsin homes—the construction, the weather challenges, the insurance landscape. When fire strikes your Story Hill property, you’re not getting a corporate response team. You’re getting experienced local professionals who know exactly what you’re going through.
First, we secure your property within hours. We assess every inch of damage—visible and hidden—and stabilize any structural concerns immediately. You’ll know exactly what we found and what needs to happen next.
Then we remove all fire-damaged materials, extract any water from firefighting efforts, and begin the deep cleaning process. We use specialized equipment to remove smoke and soot from surfaces you can see and places you can’t—like inside walls and HVAC systems.
Finally, we restore and rebuild. New drywall, flooring, whatever was damaged. We don’t just clean up the mess—we make sure your home is stronger and safer than it was before the fire. Every step is documented, and we keep you informed throughout the entire process.

Your fire damage repair includes complete smoke and soot removal, structural repairs, water damage restoration from firefighting efforts, and professional deodorization. We handle debris removal, content cleaning, and reconstruction—all with the same crew.
Story Hill’s older homes often have unique challenges after fire damage. Many properties in the area feature original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and vintage architectural details that require specialized restoration techniques. We’ve restored dozens of these homes and know how to preserve their character while ensuring modern safety standards.
Wisconsin’s climate adds another layer of complexity. Moisture from firefighting efforts can quickly lead to mold problems, especially during our humid summers. Our process includes advanced drying techniques specifically designed for Midwest conditions, preventing secondary damage that could cost you thousands more down the road.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Story Hill and arrive within 90 minutes of your call. Time is critical after a fire—every hour of delay allows smoke and soot to penetrate deeper into materials, making restoration more difficult and expensive.
Our rapid response includes immediate property stabilization, damage assessment, and emergency board-up services if needed. We understand that fire damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
The sooner we start the restoration process, the more of your belongings we can save and the faster we can get you back home safely.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, and we work directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process. We use industry-standard Xactimate software for estimates, which insurance companies recognize and accept.
We handle all the documentation, photos, and communication with your adjuster. Our goal is to make sure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to under your policy. We’ve worked with every major insurance company and understand exactly what they require.
If your policy doesn’t cover certain aspects of the restoration, we offer financing options to help bridge any gaps. You shouldn’t have to choose between proper restoration and your budget.
Most fire damage restoration projects in Story Hill take 2-4 weeks, depending on the extent of damage. Minor smoke damage might be resolved in a few days, while major structural fires requiring rebuilding can take several months.
The timeline depends on factors like the size of your home, extent of structural damage, and whether we need to wait for materials or permits. We provide a detailed timeline upfront and update you regularly if anything changes.
What we can promise is that we work efficiently without cutting corners. Every day matters when you’re displaced from your home, so we maintain full crews on your project until completion.
Yes, complete smoke odor removal is a critical part of our fire damage restoration process. We use advanced techniques including thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and specialized cleaning agents that neutralize odor-causing molecules at the source.
Smoke odor isn’t just unpleasant—it can indicate ongoing health hazards. Our process addresses smoke particles that have penetrated walls, flooring, HVAC systems, and personal belongings. We don’t just mask odors; we eliminate them permanently.
We guarantee our deodorization work. If you detect any lingering smoke odors after we complete the restoration, we return to address the issue at no additional cost.
First, ensure everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared the scene. Then call us immediately—even before calling your insurance company. Early intervention prevents secondary damage that could double your restoration costs.
Don’t attempt to clean anything yourself. Soot and smoke residue can spread to undamaged areas if handled improperly. Avoid using household fans or opening windows, which can push smoke deeper into materials.
Document everything with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t disturb the scene. We’ll handle the detailed documentation and work directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure nothing is missed in your claim.
Yes, we’re a full-service restoration company handling everything from initial cleanup through complete reconstruction. This means you work with one team throughout the entire process, eliminating coordination headaches and potential delays.
Our approach ensures seamless transitions between restoration phases. The same technicians who assess your damage handle the cleanup, and our construction team works directly with them to plan the rebuild. This integration typically reduces project timelines by 30-40%.
Having one company responsible for the entire project also simplifies insurance claims and provides you with a single point of contact throughout your restoration journey.
