You’re not just getting your property back. You’re getting your peace of mind restored. Our fire damage restoration process eliminates smoke odors completely, removes all soot and debris, and addresses water damage from firefighting efforts before it becomes a bigger problem.
Most Harambee homeowners are surprised how quickly we can transform a fire-damaged space back into a livable, safe environment. We handle everything from initial cleanup to final reconstruction, so you’re not juggling multiple contractors during an already stressful time.
The difference is in the details. While other companies focus on the obvious damage, we use advanced moisture detection equipment to find hidden water damage that could lead to mold growth weeks later. Your property gets restored once, properly, without nasty surprises down the road.
We’ve been serving Milwaukee area communities like Harambee for years, and we understand what makes this neighborhood special. We know the older housing stock here—those beautiful Queen Anne-style homes and American Foursquares—requires specialized attention during fire damage restoration.
We’re not some national chain that treats every job the same. We’re local professionals who live and work in this community. When you call us, you’re getting technicians who understand Harambee’s unique housing challenges and have restored dozens of properties in your neighborhood.
Our team responds 24/7 because fire damage doesn’t wait for business hours. We’ve helped families on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, residents near Rose Park, and homeowners throughout the 53205, 53206, and 53212 zip codes get their lives back together after devastating fires.
First, we secure your property and assess the full extent of damage—not just what’s visible. Our technicians document everything for your insurance claim while identifying safety hazards and structural concerns that need immediate attention.
Next comes the cleanup phase. We remove all debris, extract any water used in firefighting, and begin the smoke odor elimination process. This isn’t just masking smells—we use specialized equipment that neutralizes odor molecules at the source. We also address soot damage on walls, ceilings, and personal belongings.
Finally, we restore and rebuild. Whether that’s replacing drywall, refinishing hardwood floors, or completely reconstructing damaged areas, we handle it all. You get one point of contact throughout the entire process, from emergency response to final walkthrough. Most importantly, we don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Our fire damage restoration service includes emergency board-up, smoke and soot removal, odor elimination, water extraction, structural drying, content cleaning, and complete reconstruction. We handle both residential and commercial properties throughout Harambee.
Given Harambee’s housing characteristics—many properties built in the early 1900s with dense lot layouts—fire damage often affects multiple areas of a home. We’re experienced with the unique challenges these older homes present, from plaster walls that hold smoke odors to original hardwood floors that require specialized restoration techniques.
We also understand the local insurance landscape. Many Harambee residents work with State Farm, Allstate, and other major carriers, and we have established relationships that help streamline your claim process. We provide detailed documentation, work directly with adjusters, and ensure you receive fair compensation for your damages. Our goal is to remove the insurance headaches so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Harambee and can typically arrive at your property within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical after a fire because smoke odors become more difficult to eliminate the longer they sit, and water damage from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Our rapid response team immediately secures your property with emergency board-up services if needed, begins water extraction, and starts the smoke odor elimination process. We understand that every hour counts when it comes to minimizing secondary damage and reducing your overall restoration costs.
The sooner we can begin work, the more of your personal belongings we can typically save and the faster we can get you back into your home.
Most homeowners insurance policies provide coverage for fire damage restoration, including smoke cleanup, water damage from firefighting efforts, and necessary repairs. However, coverage can vary significantly depending on your specific policy terms, deductibles, and the cause of the fire.
We work directly with all major insurance carriers and have extensive experience navigating the claims process. Our team documents all damage thoroughly, provides detailed estimates using industry-standard software, and communicates directly with your adjuster to ensure you receive fair compensation.
We can also help identify coverage you might not be aware of, such as additional living expenses if you need temporary housing during restoration, or coverage for belongings that need professional cleaning or replacement.
Yes, we can eliminate smoke odors completely using professional-grade equipment and techniques that go far beyond what typical cleaning can accomplish. Smoke odor removal requires specialized knowledge because smoke particles penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and fabric.
Our process includes thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generation—advanced techniques that neutralize odor molecules rather than just masking them. For severe cases, we may need to seal surfaces with specialized primers or replace heavily contaminated materials like insulation or drywall.
The older homes common in Harambee can present unique challenges because plaster walls and original hardwood floors tend to absorb and hold odors more than modern materials. However, our experience with these historic construction methods means we know exactly how to address these challenges effectively.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most fire restoration projects in Harambee take between 2-6 weeks from start to completion. Emergency services like water extraction and smoke odor treatment begin immediately, while reconstruction work follows once the property is properly dried and cleaned.
Smaller incidents with minimal structural damage might be completed in 1-2 weeks, while major fires requiring significant reconstruction can take 2-3 months. We provide detailed timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process so you can plan accordingly.
Factors that affect timeline include insurance approval processes, permit requirements for major reconstruction, availability of specialized materials for historic homes, and weather conditions that might impact drying times. We work efficiently while never compromising on quality to get you back home as quickly as possible.
Absolutely. Fire damage almost always involves water damage from firefighting efforts, so we’re equipped to handle both simultaneously. Our technicians are certified in both fire and water damage restoration, which means you get comprehensive service without coordinating multiple contractors.
Water damage from firefighting can actually cause more long-term problems than the fire itself if not addressed properly. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment to ensure your property is completely dried before we begin reconstruction work.
This integrated approach is especially important in Harambee’s older homes, where water can easily seep into wall cavities, under original hardwood floors, and into basements. Our experience with the neighborhood’s housing stock means we know exactly where to look for hidden moisture and how to address it before it becomes a mold problem.
Our difference is in the details and our local expertise. While other companies might focus only on the obvious damage, we use advanced technology to identify hidden problems that could cause issues months later. We also understand Harambee’s unique housing characteristics and have specific experience with the restoration challenges these older homes present.
We’re available 24/7, respond faster than most competitors, and handle everything from emergency response through final reconstruction. You get one point of contact throughout the entire process, which eliminates confusion and ensures consistent quality.
Most importantly, we treat your property like it’s our own. We understand that your home represents more than just a building—it’s your family’s sanctuary and likely your largest investment. Our goal isn’t just to restore your property, but to restore your peace of mind and get your life back to normal as quickly as possible.
