A fire can turn your life upside down within minutes, leaving behind destruction, smoke damage, and uncertainty about where to start. The recovery process may feel overwhelming, but with the right professional help, you can rebuild safely and efficiently. At Lawton Construction & Restoration, we specialize in comprehensive fire damage restoration services that help homeowners and business owners recover quickly after a fire.

What Is Fire Damage Restoration?

Fire damage restoration is the process of cleaning, repairing, and rebuilding structures and belongings affected by fire, smoke, and water. The goal is to return the property to its pre-loss condition while ensuring safety and comfort. Our restoration experts at Lawton Construction & Restoration use advanced techniques and equipment to eliminate smoke odor, remove soot, and repair damaged materials.

Step-by-Step Fire Damage Restoration Process

1. Inspection and Assessment
The restoration process begins with a detailed inspection of the property to determine the extent of damage. Our team identifies areas that need structural repair, cleaning, or reconstruction.

2. Property Securing and Board-Up
After a fire, openings such as broken windows, doors, or roof damage leave your property vulnerable. We secure and board up these areas to protect against further harm and ensure safety.

3. Smoke and Soot Cleanup
Smoke and soot can cause long-term damage if not handled correctly. Our specialists use professional-grade cleaning agents and air purification systems to remove all traces of smoke odor and soot from walls, ceilings, and personal belongings.

4. Water Extraction and Drying
Water used to extinguish the fire can lead to mold and structural issues if left untreated. We perform complete water removal, drying, and dehumidification to prevent secondary damage.

5. Repair and Reconstruction
Once the property is clean and dry, our team begins the rebuilding phase. From replacing drywall and flooring to repainting and refinishing, we restore your space to its original condition or better.
