Sample job
Recent Detroit 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 $754 — pretty middle-of-the-road for that fix.
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.
Detroit-area patterns we see
Detroit's housing market has us seeing a lot of move-in inspections and "the previous owner did what?" calls. We sort them out.
That said, newer construction in Detroit has its own set of typical issues. We see both.
