Scope
What We Help With
Restoration is part stabilization, part rebuild. These are common scope items we plan and execute.
- Initial assessment and scope definition
- Selective demolition of affected materials (as needed)
- Rebuild of structure, drywall, and finishes per scope
- Trim, doors, and detail restoration or replacement
- Paint and finish restoration
- Coordination expectations for smoke/odor remediation (when required)
- Documentation support for scope clarity
Decisions
Popular Choices
High-level options you can decide without committing to brands or exact finishes.
- Repair scope: targeted restoration vs. broader rebuild for a cleaner match
- Finish direction: match existing vs. refresh the affected zone
- Door/trim level: repair and refinish vs. replacement
- Flooring: patch and blend vs. replace in the room/zone
- Upgrade opportunities while open: lighting, insulation, layout tweaks (as feasible)
Planning
Timeline & Cost Drivers
Restoration schedules can change based on dry-out, inspections, and scope discovery. We keep you informed.
Typical Timeline
4–12+ weeks (typical), depending on scope and coordination
Every project is different. Here are the most common factors that affect schedule:
- Extent of structural and finish damage
- Coordination timing for remediation steps (when applicable)
- Inspection requirements and sequencing
- Material lead times (flooring, doors, specialty items)
- Scope discovery after demo
Cost Guidance
Fire restoration cost depends on how far damage and smoke impact traveled, how much needs removal, and how much matching is required. We’ll confirm after scope review.
What affects cost:
- Demolition and disposal scope
- Structural repair requirements
- Finish matching needs (flooring, paint, trim, doors)
- Remediation coordination requirements (as needed)
- Electrical repairs or upgrades (if affected)
- Complexity of rebuild sequencing and inspections

Process
Stabilize, Document, Rebuild
We focus on safe sequencing and clean documentation to keep scope clear.
-
Step 1
Assess + scope
We define what’s affected and what must be removed before rebuild can start.
-
Step 2
Document + sequence
We document scope and plan sequencing so the rebuild is safe and organized.
-
Step 3
Rebuild + restore
We rebuild structure and finishes with attention to details and transitions.
-
Step 4
Finish + handoff
We complete punch items and leave the space feeling finished, not half-restored.
FAQ
Questions We Hear Often
Can you work with insurance? +
We can help document scope and clarify repair work. Final coverage and approvals are determined by your policy and adjuster.
Will smoke odor come back after rebuild? +
Odor concerns depend on remediation steps and affected materials. We’ll coordinate sequencing and be transparent about what’s required.
Can you match existing trim and flooring? +
We aim to match where feasible and will recommend broader refresh options when matching won’t look clean.
What should we do first after a fire? +
Safety first. Ensure the site is secure and utilities are addressed by appropriate professionals. Then we can help document scope and plan rebuild sequencing.
Can we use the rebuild as a chance to improve the layout? +
Sometimes. Depending on structure and permitting, small layout improvements can be possible. We’ll discuss feasibility during scoping.
