Estimating & Workflow
Fire restoration
The process of repairing a structure and its contents after a fire loss. The work typically begins with emergency services such as board-up and debris removal, then continues with soot and smoke cleaning, odor control, and replacement of damaged materials. Every step is written into the estimate with line items that distinguish cleaning and repair from replacement, so the adjuster can see exactly what the contractor did and why.
