House fires can be a common incident in New York, but the devastation they cause always profoundly impacts a victim’s life. Nevertheless, returning to normalcy demands timely and quick action amid the tragedy. While substantial damages take weeks or months, minor repairs can be completed in one month.

The extent of fire damage
A small house fire causing minor kitchen damage can be rectified in one or two days. If the source of the grease fire is a stove, the damaged area can be cleaned thoroughly with soap and hot water. Once the space is clean, we can assess the damage and plan to repair it. A medium-sized fire in the living room can be significant. It can affect furniture, floors, and walls. After cleaning the area, our professionals will inspect everything to determine the magnitude of damage and correct it. In these scenarios, the renovation efforts will continue for a few days to weeks. You may assume that rectifying massive fire damage will be more time-intensive, stretching from several weeks to months.
Additionally, these are just visible damages we have hinted at. A home can suffer soot and smoke damage in the hidden parts or corners. Since these are hazardous, cleaning all the traces of these unwanted elements is necessary. These jobs will extend the timelines.
