At Pence Bros, we have restored fire-damaged homes and businesses across Cuyahoga County since 1997. Our team handles the work from emergency board-up and water removal through smoke cleanup, repairs, and insurance documentation.
If your Bedford Heights property has been damaged by fire, call now so we can secure it and start limiting further damage.
A fire can leave behind broken windows, damaged doors, holes in walls, or exposed sections of roof. We board up openings and cover damaged roofing to protect the property from rain and snow while restoration is planned.
Firefighting can leave water trapped inside walls, floors, and other hidden areas. We remove standing water, then use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the space. Moisture meters confirm when framing, subfloors, and drywall are properly dry, helping prevent mold growth and additional damage after the fire.
Soot can keep staining and damaging surfaces long after the fire is out. We carefully remove residue from walls, ceilings, cabinets, fixtures, and other affected areas using methods suited to each material.
Smoke pushes through return vents and lodges in drywall, carpet, and HVAC ductwork. We trace where the odor has traveled, clean affected materials, and use targeted deodorizing treatments such as thermal fogging or hydroxyl generators to prevent the smell from lingering.
Once cleanup and drying are complete, damaged areas still need to be put back together. We repair or replace drywall, flooring, trim, paint, cabinetry, and other affected materials, helping restore your home without you having to coordinate multiple contractors.
Fire claims involve photos, estimates, damaged-item records, adjuster visits, and plenty of paperwork. We document the restoration work, prepare detailed estimates, and communicate with your insurance adjuster when needed.
We inspect all fire, smoke, and water related damage, and take photos for your claim. Once the damage has been recorded, we close off openings with plywood and weather-rated tarps.
Extractors clear the standing water from floors and cavities first. Drying equipment then runs until moisture readings show affected materials are dry, with claim paperwork moving alongside it.
Using specialized vacuums and cleaning agents, our team removes soot from ceilings, walls, trim, and cabinets. We then run thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators, breaking down odor particles to prevent odors from coming back.
Once the property is clean, dry, and odor-free, we repair the areas damaged by the fire. That may include drywall, flooring, trim, paint, cabinetry, electrical, and plumbing. We finish with a walkthrough to confirm the restoration is complete and address anything that still needs attention.
You will not be left finding another contractor once the soot is gone. We handle cleanup, drying, odor removal, repairs, and reconstruction, so the job keeps moving without repeated handoffs.
Fire damage is rarely limited to the burned area. We check adjoining rooms, wall cavities, flooring, ventilation, and moisture-prone areas for smoke, soot, and water damage that can be easy to miss early on.
We complete repairs with applicable building requirements in mind and document the work as we go. That can make future inspections, insurance questions, and eventual property sales easier to deal with.
Pence Bros records the loss, compiles repair details, and stays in contact with your adjuster to keep things moving.
Every hour after a fire, soot grows more corrosive, and water reaches deeper into your framing. Call now and we will be on the way to start restoring your Bedford Heights property.
