Our process begins with an assessment to determine the extent of both fire and water intrusion. This involves identifying affected materials and developing a plan for their removal and treatment.
Salvageable items depend on the fire's intensity and the materials involved. We can often restore structural elements, cabinetry, and certain types of flooring.
