Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration. Restoring Hope & Homes.
After a fire, most companies clean up and walk away, leaving you to find a builder for the rest. T & J Construction handles the cleanup and the complete rebuild, with one licensed contractor working with your insurance from day one.

Fire & Smoke Cleanup Is Step One. We Finish the Job.
A fire leaves more than burned materials. Smoke and soot travel through the house, and the water used to put it out causes its own damage. We handle all of it, then rebuild the structure so your family can move back in.
- Emergency board-up, roof tarping and securing the property
- Soot, smoke and odor removal, plus drying out firefighting water
- Framing, roofing, siding, drywall, paint, trim and flooring
- One project manager and one point of contact for your insurance adjuster

Your Trusted Partner in Fire & Smoke Damage Recovery
When fire disrupts your life, T&J Construction helps turn devastation into a fresh start, handling everything from emergency board-up to full structural reconstruction. With years of experience working with insurance companies, we make sure your claim is handled correctly from the start.
The biggest mistake homeowners make after a fire is trusting the process without the right representation. Missing documentation can lead to out-of-pocket costs and missed scope details on the rebuild. Insurance only pays for what's documented, so we make sure nothing gets missed.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services
Every stage of recovery, from the night of the fire to the day you move back in.
Emergency Board-Up
We secure broken windows, doors and openings and tarp damaged roofs to protect the home from weather and entry.
Fire Damage Repair
Removal of burned and unsafe materials, then structural repair of framing, decking and load-bearing areas.
Smoke & Soot Damage Cleanup
Smoke reaches rooms the fire never touched. We clean surfaces, treat odor and replace what can't be saved.
Firefighting Water Damage
Thousands of gallons from hoses soak walls, floors and basements. We extract, dry and prevent mold.
Full Structural Rebuild
Roofing, siding, windows, drywall, paint, trim and flooring, all from one licensed contractor.
Insurance Claim Support
Detailed photos, scope and documentation for your adjuster, so your claim keeps moving.
Fire & Smoke Damage Keeps Spreading After the Flames Are Out
Soot is acidic and starts staining and etching surfaces within hours. Firefighting water left in walls and floors can lead to mold in 24–48 hours. Fast action limits what has to be replaced.

Fire & Smoke Damage FAQ
What should I do right after a house fire?
Make sure everyone is safe and don't re-enter until the fire department clears the home. Contact your insurance company, then call us to secure the property. Take photos of the damage before anything is moved if it's safe to do so.
Do you only clean up, or do you rebuild too?
Both. Many restoration companies stop after cleanup and demolition. We handle the cleanup and the complete rebuild, including structure, roofing, siding and interior finishes, so you don't need a second contractor.
Will my homeowners insurance cover fire damage?
Fire is commonly covered under standard homeowners policies, but coverage limits and details vary. We document the damage thoroughly and work with your adjuster throughout the claim.
Can smoke damage be fixed in rooms the fire didn't reach?
Yes. Smoke and soot travel through the whole house. We clean and deodorize affected areas and replace materials that can't be restored.
Do you work with HOAs and property management companies?
Yes. We work with associations and managers on townhome and multi-unit losses, coordinating with the board, residents and the insurance carrier.
