Charlotte fire & smoke damage restoration
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Charlotte can mean a $200 fix or a $4,000 job depending on what's actually wrong. We figure it out before quoting. Three things you can count on: we show up when we say we will, we quote before we work, and we don't pad the bill.
What's typical for this job
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.

Diagnosis: unattended cooking. We soot pre-clean, water extraction from suppression, structural drying, cabinet replacement, thermal fog deodorization, full repaint, ran the test, and were out the door in under 90 minutes. Total: $496 including parts.
