Fire damage restoration seems pretty straight forward from the outside. Remove and clean the contents, clean and restore the home, remove odors, bring the contents back, and move on to the next job. Yes, that is a very high birds-eye view of the process, but covers the basic steps. However, there is a lot to fire damage restoration that isn’t always taken into account by the homeowner right off the bat.

How many of your customers think they are going to get a fully upgraded, glorious chef’s kitchen after a fire destroyed their circa-1970’s existing kitchen? Sorry, Mr. Homeowner, but your insurance payout probably isn’t going to cover that granite countertop, farmhouse sink, and expensive tile floor.
