Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Boston — what's typical here
Most weeks we run 12–18 calls inside Boston alone. Different houses, similar fixes — we've seen yours before.
Most of our Boston fire & smoke damage restoration jobs come from older neighborhoods, where the housing stock just has more failure points.
The actual 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.
Typical investment
Small-area fire damage (single room) runs $6,875 – $22,500. Significant fire damage (multi-room) runs $22,500 – $100,000. Whole-home fire damage runs $100,000 – $500,000+.
Sample job
Recent Boston job: kitchen grease fire that spread to upper cabinets, with significant smoke damage throughout the home in a any era home. We soot pre-clean, water extraction from suppression, structural drying, cabinet replacement, thermal fog deodorization, full repaint after diagnosing unattended cooking. Cost ran $356 — pretty middle-of-the-road for that fix.
