Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Boca Raton, FL
A fire is overwhelming, even when it's small. Smoke and soot travel well beyond the burned area, and water used to put out the fire creates its own damage. We help you secure the property, clean up, and rebuild.

Fire damage is more than what burned
Smoke and soot residue
Residue settles on walls, ceilings, cabinets, and contents throughout the home, often far from the fire itself.
Odor
Smoke odor penetrates porous materials and HVAC systems and needs targeted treatment.
Water from firefighting
Water used to extinguish a fire can soak drywall, insulation, and flooring and needs to be dried.
Structural damage
Burned framing, drywall, and roofing must be evaluated and rebuilt to code.
Electrical and HVAC
Systems exposed to heat or smoke should be inspected by the appropriate licensed trades.
Contents
Furniture, clothing, and personal items may need cleaning, inventory, or documentation for your claim.
How fire restoration works
Secure
Once the fire department releases the property, openings can be boarded and tarped to protect it.
Assess
We document fire, smoke, and water damage throughout the property.
Clean
Water is removed, soot is cleaned from surfaces, and odor treatment begins.
Rebuild
Damaged areas are reconstructed, from framing to paint.
Smoke damage cleanup
Different fires leave different residues. A kitchen grease fire leaves a sticky film; a fire involving plastics leaves heavy black soot. The type of residue determines the cleaning method, and the wrong approach can smear soot deeper into surfaces.
We'll evaluate which surfaces can be cleaned and which need to be replaced, and explain the plan before work begins.
From fire cleanup to a finished home
Fire projects often end with significant rebuilding. Because BO Renovation is part of the same company, the transition from cleanup to reconstruction is coordinated by one team.
Fire Damage Restoration questions
What should I do right after a fire?
Make sure everyone is safe and wait until the fire department says the property can be entered. Contact your insurance company, avoid touching soot-covered surfaces, and don't turn on HVAC systems that may spread smoke residue. Then call us for an assessment.
Can smoke odor be removed completely?
In many cases, odor can be significantly reduced or eliminated through cleaning, removal of affected materials, and specialized treatment. Results depend on the materials involved and the extent of the smoke exposure, and we'll be clear about what to expect.
Do you handle the rebuild after a fire?
Yes. Our reconstruction team can handle repairs from framing and drywall to cabinets, flooring, and paint.
Will you work with my insurance company?
We document damage thoroughly to support your claim. Coverage decisions are made by your insurer.
