Who We Are

Meet The Team Handling Fire Damage Removal Across Calais

We opened in the Calais 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.

Working the 04619 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Calais code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

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

Licensed & Insured

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

IICRC Trained

Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.

Adjuster-Ready Files

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

Every Calais 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

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Calais Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

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

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

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

Calais, ME insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.

Core Services

What Calais Customers Actually Get With Fire Damage Removal

Emergency Mitigation

Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

Commercial Restoration

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

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Calais permitting.

Odor Elimination

Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

Contents & Pack-Out

Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Calais property is under repair.

Our Guarantee

The Standard We Hold Every Fire Damage Removal Job To

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.

No Surprise Line Items

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.

Single Point Of Contact

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.

We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Calais fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
