Fire Damage Restoration Experts – Available 24/7
Fire Damage Restoration Services
When fire strikes, the damage goes far beyond what you can see. At Restoration 1, we provide comprehensive fire and smoke damage restoration — from emergency response to complete reconstruction. Our goal is to fully restore your home or business with professionalism, urgency, and care.
Immediate Response & Damage Assessment
Our team is available 24/7 to respond to fire emergencies. We quickly assess the damage, secure the property, and create a detailed restoration plan tailored to your needs.
Smoke & Soot Cleanup
Smoke and soot can travel far beyond the fire source, leaving behind odors, staining, and harmful particles. We use industry-leading techniques to clean walls, ceilings, furniture, and HVAC systems, removing smoke residues and restoring air quality.
Odor Elimination
Lingering smoke smells are not just unpleasant — they’re a health hazard. We use advanced deodorization equipment and ozone treatments to permanently eliminate smoke and fire-related odors from the entire property.
Full-Service Reconstruction (Licensed General Contractor)
As a licensed General Contractor (GC), we go beyond mitigation. Our construction division handles all phases of the rebuild — including framing, drywall, electrical, roofing, flooring, painting, cabinetry, and more. We ensure your property is rebuilt to its original state or better, with high-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship.
