Who We Are

A Licensed South Portland Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

We opened in the South Portland area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Local experience in 04106 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how South Portland's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every South Portland scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Every South Portland job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs South Portland Homeowners Tend To Ignore

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons South Portland, ME fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The South Portland properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For South Portland

Emergency Mitigation

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a South Portland loss from spreading further.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in South Portland homes.

Commercial Restoration

Phased scopes that let South Portland businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.

Structural Rebuild

Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local South Portland inspectors.

Odor Elimination

We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

Contents & Pack-Out

We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.

Our Guarantee

Our Written Guarantee, Not Just A Sales Line

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.

A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial South Portland inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
