A house fire can leave you unsure of what to do next, but acting quickly can prevent more damage. Pence Bros provides 24/7 fire damage restoration in Northfield, including emergency board-up, soot cleanup, odor removal, water extraction, and complete repairs.
Call now to secure your home and start the restoration process.
We secure broken windows, doors, and openings with plywood or OSB. For roof damage, we install reinforced tarps that withstand Summit County winters, including wet snow and freeze-thaw cycles that destroy less-effective sealing methods.
Plaster, original hardwood, and decades-old insulation absorb odor-causing particles after a house fire. To remove it, we use thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, or ozone treatment based on the material type.
Soot gets more corrosive the longer it sits. To remove it, we use dry sponge removal on porous materials, HEPA vacuuming, and chemical sponges on harder surfaces. Our team cleans salvageable belongings on-site or at our facility.
We pump out water left behind after firefighting. After that, we deploy air movers and commercial dehumidifiers, which run until moisture meters confirm that your subfloor, framing, and drywall are completely dry.
We photograph and document all damage, prepare detailed repair estimates, and work directly with your insurance adjuster. Our team will keep you in the loop regarding the progress of your insurance claim.
Once the property is dry, clean, and odor-free, we handle drywall, flooring, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, and finish work. The same team that handled the emergency stays with the project through the rebuild to ensure consistent quality.
Our lead technician walks every room to map fire, smoke, and water damage, captures photo documentation for your claim, and secures exposed openings with plywood and weather-rated tarps before leaving the site.
We deploy truck-mounted extractors to pull out standing water from floors, cavities, and saturated materials. Air movers and dehumidifiers stay on the clock until moisture readings drop to safe levels.
Your insurance paperwork will be done in parallel.
With the structure dry, technicians lift soot off walls, ceilings, trim, cabinets, and flooring using HEPA vacuums and cleaning agents matched to each surface type. Thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators neutralize odor at the molecular level. Salvageable contents are treated in place or shipped to our facility.
In the final phase, we put your home back together. Drywall, flooring, paint, trim, cabinetry, electrical, and plumbing are completed in-house by the same crew that handled emergency response, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
From Tallmadge to Hudson, we’ve worked on Summit County homes since 1997. We know how local houses are built and what to expect once the walls are opened.
The same team handles everything from emergency board-up to final repairs. That means fewer delays, no contractor handoffs, and one crew accountable for the work.
Every repair we make meets Ohio Residential Code, and we pull permits through Summit County and the City of Northfield where required.
You focus on your family. We handle the paperwork, the adjuster calls, and the documentation.
After a fire, it is normal to worry about cost, insurance, and whether your home can be repaired. You should not have to make those decisions without clear information. Pence Bros will assess the damage, explain what needs to happen, and answer your questions before work begins.
Call today to take the first step toward getting your home back.
