Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration — Albuquerque, NM
Quick gut-check: if water is flowing where it shouldn't be, call. If it's just a slow drip, you can wait until morning at standard rates. Most of our work comes from neighbors of past customers. That's the only marketing we trust.
What's specific about Albuquerque jobs
Most weeks we run 12–18 calls inside Albuquerque alone. Different houses, similar fixes — we've seen yours before.
Scope of work
Fire damage almost always comes with water damage from the suppression effort. We handle both as a single coordinated restoration.
Soot is acidic and continues to damage materials over weeks if not stabilized fast. We pre-clean affected surfaces within the first 72 hours to lock in restoration potential.
Smoke odor permeates porous materials throughout the building, not just in the fire room. Whole-home thermal fogging and ozone treatment are standard final steps. Sometimes carpet and porous fabrics still need replacement.
Structural drying follows immediately after suppression water — same protocol as standalone water damage.

What a typical call looks like
Got a call last month from a the south side Albuquerque home — any era build. Symptom: kitchen grease fire that spread to upper cabinets, with significant smoke damage throughout the home. Cause: unattended cooking. Soot pre-clean, water extraction from suppression, structural drying, cabinet replacement, thermal fog deodorization, full repaint, all done in before lunch, billed flat-rate at $1820.
