Our fire damage restoration professionals have more than 50 years of combined experience handling structural fire damage, soot contamination, and odor removal. With fire damage often comes smoke damage, lingering odors, and compromised structural components. Water damage is also common after large fires that require an emergency hose-down by the fire department. In these cases, immediate water damage restoration and structural drying may be necessary to prevent secondary issues such as mold growth.
Smoke and soot residue removal
Soot is acidic and continues damaging surfaces the longer it sits, etching metal, discoloring walls, and staining countertops. We use specialized cleaning methods matched to each surface and residue type to remove smoke and soot damage without making it worse.
Structural fire damage repair
Fire compromises framing, roofing, and load-bearing components in ways that aren’t always visible. We assess the structural damage, remove what cannot be saved, and repair charred and weakened elements so your property is safe and sound before finish work begins.
Emergency board-up and stabilization
After a fire, broken windows, damaged doors, and roof openings leave your property exposed to weather, intruders, and further damage. We board up openings, tarp damaged roofs, and stabilize the structure quickly to protect what remains while restoration is planned.
Odor removal and deodorization
Smoke odor penetrates deep into drywall, insulation, upholstery, and ductwork, and it does not fade on its own. We use professional deodorization methods, including thermal fogging and air scrubbing, to neutralize smoke odor at the source rather than masking it.
Reconstruction of damaged areas
Once cleanup is complete, we rebuild what the fire took, from replacing drywall, insulation, and flooring to full room reconstruction. One team manages the entire project from the first emergency call through the final coat of paint.
Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Every fire damage project requires a response based on the severity of the fire, the areas affected, the extent of smoke and soot contamination, and any water damage left behind from firefighting efforts. Archer Restoration Services develops a clear restoration plan to secure the property, remove damage, eliminate smoke odor, and rebuild what was lost.
1
Phase 1
Emergency Response and Board-Up
Our team responds quickly after the fire is out to secure your property. We board up broken windows and doors, tarp damaged roofs, and stabilize the structure to protect it from weather and further damage while the restoration plan takes shape.
2
Phase 2
Damage Assessment
We inspect the full extent of the damage, including structural fire damage, smoke and soot contamination throughout the property, and water damage from firefighting efforts. This assessment becomes the restoration plan and the documentation your insurance carrier needs for the claim.
3
Phase 3
Water Removal and Drying
Large fires often mean significant water damage from the fire department’s hose-down. Before smoke cleanup begins, we extract standing water and dry the structure completely to prevent secondary issues like mold growth from developing beneath the fire damage.
4
Phase 4
Smoke and Soot Cleanup
Soot is acidic and grows more damaging the longer it sits. We clean smoke and soot residue from every affected surface using methods matched to the material, and remove structural elements and contents too damaged to restore.
5
Phase 5
Odor Removal
Smoke odor settles deep into drywall, insulation, ductwork, and fabrics. Using professional deodorization including thermal fogging and air scrubbing, we neutralize the odor at its source so your property smells clean, not covered up.
6
Phase 6
Reconstruction and Final Walkthrough
We rebuild what the fire affected, from drywall and flooring to complete room reconstruction, with one team managing the project start to finish. The job ends with a final walkthrough to confirm your property is fully restored to pre-loss condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know emergencies are stressful. Here are answers to the most common questions.
Does homeowners insurance cover fire damage restoration?
Fire is one of the most consistently covered perils in homeowners insurance, and most policies cover fire damage restoration, smoke cleanup, and the water damage caused by firefighting efforts. Coverage details, deductibles, and limits vary by policy, and additional living expenses during repairs are often covered as well. Archer Restoration Services works directly with insurance carriers, documents the full scope of the damage, and helps you navigate the claims process from start to finish.
How soon after a fire can restoration begin?
Restoration can begin as soon as the fire department declares the property safe to enter and any required investigation is complete. Starting quickly matters because soot continues corroding surfaces, smoke odor keeps penetrating materials, and water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth within days. Emergency steps like board-up, tarping, and water extraction can usually start immediately, even while the full restoration plan and insurance claim are still coming together.
Is it safe to stay in my home after a fire?
Often it is not, even when the damage looks contained to one area. Smoke and soot spread far beyond the fire itself and can irritate the lungs, eyes, and skin, while lingering carbon monoxide, structural weakening, and electrical damage create hazards that aren’t visible. Water from firefighting efforts also creates slip risks and can compromise flooring. Until a professional has assessed the property, it’s safest to stay elsewhere, and if your policy includes additional living expense coverage, temporary housing costs are often covered.
