Every repair that requires a permit gets one, and gets inspected, before we consider it complete.
We test heat-exposed framing for structural integrity rather than assuming a wall that looks intact still is.
Trim, paint, and flooring repairs are matched to your home's existing materials wherever possible.
You approve an itemized, written estimate before any framing or drywall comes down.
A question we hear often in Dover is whether a general contractor can handle fire repair the same way they'd handle a standard renovation, and the honest answer is that fire repair carries structural and code considerations a typical remodel doesn't.
A general remodeling contractor isn't necessarily trained to evaluate heat damage to framing, which is a gap that matters more than it might seem.
That's part of why Dover, FL building departments increasingly ask for fire-specific documentation on permit applications involving structural repair, and having that documentation ready from day one keeps the Fire Damage Repair project moving instead of stalling at the permit office.
We keep relationships with local Dover building inspectors' offices to help schedule required inspections without the typical multi-week wait.
Heat-compromised studs and joists get sistered with new lumber or fully replaced depending on the degree of damage.
