A structure fire changes a Madison property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Madison 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.

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Madison, MN insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
Phased scopes that let Madison businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Madison inspectors.

Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
