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. Most jobs consume time due to cleanup, insurance claims, design and planning, permits, etc. These are unavoidable because most fires entail massive destruction or damage. Zicklin Contracting in New York City and its neighboring areas is known for maintaining timelines while providing satisfactory restoration results. You can contact us to begin your life afresh after a fire.

 

As a reputed fire restoration company, we believe in providing faster responses to our clients. However, knowing why some projects take less or more time is necessary for mental peace and preparation.

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.

Rebuilding process

Initial property inspection and cleanup can be done in one week. It includes debris and damage removal. Since you need funds to restore your property, an insurance claim will be an integral part of it. Some out-of-pocket expenses may also occur. So, the entire financial planning and claim submission process may need one or two weeks. After the claim settlement, design and planning will be done. Depending on the restoration goals, you can allot another one to three weeks to this stage. Then, the approval and construction part will come in.

Standard fire repair and renovation timeline

Considering everything, emergency services and damage evaluation can take about one or two days after a fire. Structural damage protection and water, soot, and smoke cleanup can take one to four weeks. A period of one to six months can be dedicated to repair and reconstruction. Some homeowners want to restore most of their personal belongings. Depending on their condition, contents can be restored alongside structural repairs.
