Complete Altadena Homes Fire Damage Restoration Services

Sky Builders ZHR takes care of all parts of the restoration process. Our service includes several key components to fully restore your property:

Structural Assessment and Framing Repairs

We inspect the foundation, framing, and supports for any fire damage. Our team removes any burned wood and rebuilds the frame with new lumber. A rushed job might leave charred wood hidden inside walls. We inspect every stud and replace burnt wood so the structure is solid.

Roof and Exterior Restoration

We fix any damage to roof framing and exterior walls. Our crew removes burned shingles or siding and installs new, durable materials. You can choose upgraded roofing like fire-resistant shingles for extra protection. Cheap patch jobs can lead to leaks or future water damage. We fully seal the new roof and exterior to make them weather-proof.

Electrical and Plumbing Systems

We inspect all electrical wiring, outlets, and the circuit panel for fire damage. Our licensed electrician replaces any melted wires and tests the system for safety. We check all plumbing for heat damage and fix any leaks. Undetected wiring or pipe damage can cause fires or leaks later. Our certified technicians ensure all electrical and plumbing systems are safe to use.

Drywall and Interior Finishes

We replace all damaged interior materials, including insulation, drywall, flooring, and more. Our team repaints walls with primer and fresh color to seal away smoke stains. We also install new trim and doors, making every detail look like new. You get to pick paint colors, flooring, and cabinets to personalize your space. Skipping proper steps can leave smoke smell trapped or cause paint to peel. We leave your new interior fresh, odor-free, and beautiful.

Smoke and Soot Cleanup

Using HEPA vacuums and special sponges, we remove soot from walls, ceilings, and floors. Soot can hide in tiny cracks and air ducts. We clean out the ductwork and replace filters to remove soot particles. Any soot left behind can corrode materials and cause lingering odors. We make sure every surface is free of any soot.

Odor Removal and Air Quality

Even after cleaning, smoke smell can linger in the air and walls. Our team uses air scrubbers and advanced deodorizers to eliminate stubborn smoke odors. We ventilate the space thoroughly. Special filters remove any remaining smoke particles, ensuring the air is fresh and safe to breathe.

Factor Effect on Cost/Timeline
