Fire restoration.

From first call to certificate of occupancy

CS1 mobilizes emergency crews for board-up and stabilization, then rebuilds — working directly with property management on tenant relocation and guiding you through the insurance process step-by-step. One project manager owns the file from first call to move-in.

A fire is two emergencies at once: the damaged building and the displaced residents. Handling them separately — one contractor for the rebuild, another vendor for remediation, property staff improvising relocation — stretches recovery from months into years. CS1 puts a single project manager over the entire file, from the first emergency call through remediation, rebuild and the day residents move back in.

Our fire restoration services

• Emergency board-up & stabilization. Rapid response to secure the structure, protect what’s salvageable, and make the site safe.
• Full structural rebuild. Framing, roofing, systems and finishes — rebuilt to current code with detail-driven work that stands the test of time.
• Smoke & water damage remediation. Soot, odor and the water damage that firefighting leaves behind, remediated before rebuild begins.
• Tenant relocation coordination. We work directly with property management so displaced residents have somewhere to go and a date to come back.
• Insurance scope documentation. Photographed, itemized scopes prepared for your carrier — we guide you through the claims process step-by-step.
