What Affects the Cost of Fire Damage Restoration

The main cost factors

• Size of the affected area. One room or the whole house.
• How far smoke traveled. Through the HVAC system, smoke can reach every room.
• Type of residue. Wet, sticky soot from plastics takes more labor than dry soot.
• Water damage. Extraction, drying and removal of wet materials.
• Contents. How many belongings need pack-out, cleaning and storage.
• Structural damage. Framing, roofing and electrical repairs with permits.
• Finishes. Custom millwork, stone and high-end materials cost more to clean or replace.
