A structure fire changes a New Haven property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our New Haven roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Local experience in 48048 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how New Haven's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every New Haven scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

Every New Haven job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
New Haven, MI insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The New Haven properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial New Haven jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local New Haven inspectors.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

We'd rather put the guarantee on paper up front than have a disagreement about it once the job is finished.
Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
One coordinator manages your New Haven job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial New Haven inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
A freezer fire in our garage started around 2am, and the crew had the side door boarded up before the fire department even wrapped up their report. — Homeowner, New Haven
