At Fides Restoration, we provide comprehensive fire and smoke damage restoration for homes and businesses throughout Palm Beach County. Our IICRC-certified team (FSRT - Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician) responds quickly to assess the damage, stabilize your property, and begin the restoration process. From emergency board-up and structural assessment to soot removal and smoke odor elimination, we handle every phase so you can focus on what matters most.

Soot and smoke residue removal from all surfaces. Structural drying (firefighting water causes secondary damage). Smoke odor elimination using thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators.

Kitchen fire, electrical fire, or major structural event, we have the training and equipment to restore your property.
Fire damage restoration costs vary widely based on the extent of structural damage, smoke penetration, and whether water damage from firefighting is also present. Small kitchen fires may cost $3,000 to $10,000, while major structural fires can exceed $50,000. Fides Restoration provides a free on-site inspection and detailed scope of work before beginning. We document every phase for your insurance claim.
Timeline depends on the severity. A contained kitchen fire may take 1 to 2 weeks. A structure fire with smoke, soot, and water damage can take several weeks to months. Our FSRT-certified team handles emergency board-up, soot removal, structural drying, smoke odor elimination, and full rebuild coordination -- all documented with your insurance carrier throughout the process.
Yes -- fire damage is one of the most commonly covered perils in standard homeowners insurance policies. Coverage typically includes structural repairs, smoke and soot damage, water damage from firefighting efforts, and temporary living expenses. Fides Restoration coordinates directly with your insurance adjuster, providing detailed documentation, photos, and scope reports to support your claim.
Yes, but it requires professional equipment and techniques. Smoke particles penetrate drywall, insulation, ductwork, and soft furnishings. Surface cleaning alone will not eliminate the odor or health hazard. Our OCT-certified team uses thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and HEPA air scrubbers to eliminate smoke odor at the molecular level -- not just mask it. Porous materials that cannot be restored are safely removed and documented.
Do not re-enter the structure until the fire department clears it. Document everything with photos and video from outside. Contact your insurance company to open a claim. Then call a licensed restoration company to secure the property with emergency board-up and tarping -- exposed structures are vulnerable to weather, theft, and further deterioration. The sooner restoration begins, the more of your property and belongings can be salvaged.
