Fire Damage Restoration in Henderson, NV
Fire damage restoration is everything that happens between the fire department leaving and your family moving back in. We board up the house, sort what can be saved, clean the soot and smoke, dry out the water from the hoses, and rebuild what burned. Call us once the fire department releases the property.
In Henderson it might start on the stove, in the garage or behind a light fixture. The flames may stay in one room, but smoke travels the whole stucco-and-drywall shell and into the attic, and the hose water ends up in rooms that never burned.
Fire cleanup needs clear communication.
People call us on one of the worst days they've had. Here's what they said about how we kept them in the loop and finished the work.
“Quality First Restoration is fair and they cared about me. They helped me through the entire process...”
“I was referred to Quality Restorations from an insurance agent. I was impressed that they answered the call...”
“Literally life savers!! I had been dealing with some skin issues...”
“We had a drainage pipe burst inside the wall of our laundry room, and the leak went downstairs...”
“Quality First Restoration is fantastic! The crew did a wonderful job with water damage.”
“I had the opportunity to meet with Todd. He is knowledgeable and responsive. We made the right choice moving forward...”
“The team at Quality First Restorations did a great job taking care of a water leak above our bathroom...”
“Quality First Restoration did an amazing job from start to finish. Professional, responsive, and high-quality work.”
“So I've worked with Todd at Quality First Restorations previously on a rental I have. The tenants had a leak...”
What families ask us the day after a fire
Most of these come up before we've even parked the truck.
Can we go back inside?
Not until the fire department releases the building. After that, go in with shoes on and in daylight. Don't flip switches in rooms that burned. If anything smells like gas, get out and call Southwest Gas from the street. Grab medications and phone chargers, then leave the rest for the walk-through.
What can actually be saved?
More than it looks like on day one. Hard items like dishes, metal and most furniture frames often clean up. Things that sat in the heat, soaked up suppression water or held a lot of smoke, like mattresses and some upholstery, are often a loss. We sort it with you, room by room, and photograph what goes before it goes.
Where do we live while this gets fixed?
If the house isn't livable, many policies include additional living expenses for a hotel or rental. Ask your carrier early and keep every receipt. We give you a realistic sense of how long the work will take once we've seen the damage, so you can plan past the first few nights.
The fire was in one room. Why does the whole house smell?
Smoke doesn't stay where the flames were. It rides the air down hallways and into the return vents, and it settles on cooler surfaces. That's why the walk-through covers every room, the attic and the ducts, not only the burned one.
Is all that water from the hoses a problem too?
Yes. People forget this part. Suppression water soaks ceilings, insulation and flooring, sometimes in rooms that never saw fire. Left alone, it can grow mold. We dry and document it like its own water loss.
Do I have to hire five different companies?
No. Board-up, pack-out, cleaning, drying and the rebuild can all run through us, so you have one number to call and the work isn't stuck waiting on another contractor. Licensed trades like electrical or roofing get coordinated around that schedule.
How much does it cost? Will insurance pay?
We don't quote fire damage over the phone. Smoke gets into attics, closets and ductwork you can't see from the doorway, so the price has to come from an on-site walk-through. The estimate breaks board-up, cleaning, odor work, pack-out and rebuild into separate lines.
What moves a fire job's price is how far it reached. A stovetop fire with light smoke in two rooms is mostly cleaning. Once fire gets into the attic or the framing, the job becomes tear-out and rebuild, and a house full of smoke-soaked belongings adds pack-out and contents cleaning on top.

On-site estimate
Smoke reaches places you can't see from the doorway.
Walk-through
Free
Every room, attic and duct run we can reach.
Line items
Separated
Urgent work split from what can wait for the adjuster.
Insurance or self-pay, you decide
Your carrier decides what the policy pays. Our job is the record: we photograph the damage before anything gets cleaned or hauled out, so the proof is still there after the debris is gone.
If you've moved to a hotel or a rental, keep every receipt, including meals and laundry. Additional living expenses are often a separate part of a fire claim, and your carrier will ask for them.
Paying yourself? Ask about the self-pay discount. The estimate is free, and you see the price before we start.

How a fire job runs, start to finish
- 1
Secure the house
Broken windows and doors get boarded, and an open roof gets a temporary tarp. That keeps weather and people out, and your policy generally expects you to protect the house from more damage.
- 2
Walk it and photograph it
Before anything is cleaned or carried out, we photograph every room, the attic and the vents. Your adjuster works from that record. It can't be recreated once the debris is gone.
- 3
Get your belongings out of the way
Salvageable items get inventoried and packed out so they can be cleaned off site, and so the crew has room to work. Items that can't be saved are listed and photographed for the claim.
- 4
Tear out what burned and dry what got wet
Charred drywall and insulation come out, along with any flooring the fire or the water ruined. Rooms that took on hose water get dried with dehumidifiers and checked with moisture meters until they read dry.
- 5
Clean the smoke and the smell
Soot comes off the surfaces that stay, starting with the method that won't smear it. Then deodorization goes after the odor still sitting in the framing and the ductwork.
- 6
Rebuild and hand the keys back
Drywall, paint, flooring and trim go back in. Your cleaned belongings come back once the rooms are finished, checked in against the same inventory list they left on.
The hose water needs its own dry-out.
Firefighters put a lot of water into a house, and it runs through ceilings and under flooring well past the room that burned. Treat it like a regular water loss or it can leave mold behind after the smoke smell is gone.
We take moisture readings in the rooms around the fire, dry what's wet, and keep those readings in the claim file.
Each part of the fire job has its own page.
This page walks through the whole job. If you're stuck on one piece of it, like the smell or the paperwork, these go deeper.
What's included
One crew and one phone number from board-up to the last coat of paint. Here's where our part ends.
What we do
- Boarding up windows and doors, and temporary roof tarping
- Photos of every room before cleanup, plus a line-item estimate for your carrier

- Negotiating what your policy covers. That stays between you and your carrier.
Fire damage restoration questions
What does fire damage restoration include?
Everything between the fire truck leaving and you moving back in: board-up and debris removal, packing out your belongings, soot cleaning, drying the water the firefighters left, deodorizing, then the rebuild. On our jobs one crew runs it start to finish.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
It depends on how much burned and how far the smoke went. A kitchen fire with smoke in a few rooms moves much faster than a fire that went into the attic. After the walk-through we'll lay out the order of the work and a realistic timeline for your house.
How much does fire damage restoration cost?
We price it after seeing it, because smoke hides in attics and ducts you can't see from the front door. The walk-through and estimate are free. The estimate splits board-up, cleaning, contents and rebuild into separate lines so you can see where the money goes.
Will homeowners insurance cover the fire damage?
Fire is a common covered peril, but your carrier decides what your policy pays. We photograph the damage before cleanup starts and write a line-item estimate the adjuster can check. We don't negotiate your claim for you.
Should I start cleaning soot myself?
Hold off. Wiping soot with a wet rag usually smears it deeper into paint and grout, and cleaning before photos can weaken your claim. Take pictures, open a window if the air is heavy, and call us.

Clear work, clean documentation, no mystery in the middle.
For Fire Damage Restoration, you should be able to see what we found and what we did about it. That's what the paperwork is for.
When we leave, you should have a plain explanation of the work and paperwork that still makes sense weeks later if an adjuster asks.
Certified standards
IICRC-certified technicians work to the published industry standards instead of judging the job by how it looks.
Claim-ready documentation
Photos and scope notes are collected as the work moves, so you and your adjuster can see what changed and why.
Cleaning matched to the soot
Protein soot from a kitchen fire and synthetic soot from burning plastics need different methods. We test first so we don't smear residue deeper into the surface.
One accountable plan
The emergency work and the rebuild stay under one plan, so nothing falls into the gap between two contractors.
Local loss experience
Smoke moves through attics, closets and ductwork. We check those spaces before we price the job, not halfway through it.
What we tell you before work expands
What needs action now
What needs attention today and what can wait. If part of it belongs to a plumber or roofer, we say so.
What should stay closed
We don't open finished walls or ceilings until the readings and the access tell us it's worth it.
What happens next
Stabilize first. Repair decisions come after the building is under control.
