What to Know
Understanding Fire and Smoke Damage
Emergency Board-Up and Securing Your Property
After the fire department leaves, a damaged building is exposed to weather, wildlife, and trespassers. Our first job is to stabilize the structure: boarding up broken windows and doors, tarping compromised roofs, and fencing off unsafe areas. Insurance requires this step and will not cover additional damage caused by leaving the property open. We respond 24/7 and dispatch crews from our Capital Region operations.
Smoke, Soot, and Odor Removal
Smoke damage extends far beyond what burned. Soot is acidic and will permanently etch glass, chrome, and finished metal within days if not cleaned. Smoke odor penetrates drywall, plaster, insulation, HVAC ductwork, carpets, and upholstery. We clean salvageable surfaces using dry-sponge, wet-chemical, and ultrasonic methods depending on the material, and we deodorize with thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment.
Water Damage from Fire Suppression
Almost every fire job is also a water job. Suppression hoses dump thousands of gallons into a structure in minutes, and that water soaks into subfloors, plaster, hardwood, insulation, and contents. If we do not extract and dry it fast, you are looking at warped floors, ruined cabinetry, and mold within 48 hours. Our crews handle the water damage restoration side of a fire loss in the same visit.
Restoring Pittsfield's Historic Brick Architecture
Pittsfield's 19th-century brick row houses, GE-era industrial buildings, and historic downtown commercial structures have original brick masonry, plaster, lath-and-plaster walls, hardwood trim, and architectural details that are difficult to source today. Our reconstruction crews are experienced with historic preservation. We rebuild to match the original craftsmanship whenever possible: brick repointing, traditional plaster repair, period-correct trim, and hardwood matched to the original finish.
One Team from Emergency to Final Rebuild
KPM Restoration handles the full scope in house: mitigation, contents cleaning, structural demo, and full reconstruction. That means you are not juggling a mitigation company, a contents cleaner, and a general contractor. We document everything in Xactimate (the estimating software adjusters require), bill your insurance directly, and keep the job moving.
How Fire Damage Restoration Works
From emergency response to handing back the keys, we manage every phase of your fire damage recovery.
Emergency Board-Up and Securing
We secure your property immediately, boarding windows, tarping roofs, and stabilizing structures to prevent further damage, weather exposure, and unauthorized entry.
Documentation and Insurance
Every inch of fire, smoke, soot, and water damage is thoroughly documented with photos, scope reports, and Xactimate estimates. We meet with you and your adjuster to agree on the restoration plan.
Water Removal and Drying
We extract all firefighting water, set up commercial drying equipment, and monitor moisture levels to prevent mold growth.
Smoke, Soot, and Odor Removal
All surfaces are professionally cleaned. We use thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators to permanently eliminate smoke odors. If needed, we pack out contents to our facility for off-site cleaning and safe storage.
Reconstruction
Our crews handle the full rebuild: framing, drywall, flooring, paint, and any other repairs needed to restore your property to pre-loss condition. One contractor from start to finish.
