Fire Damage Restoration Dobbs Ferry | Zicklin Contracting
Dobbs Ferry sits high above the Hudson with long views and quiet streets. When fire touches a home here-maybe from a fireplace in one of the old stone houses on North Broadway, an attic electrical fault near the aqueduct trail, or a garage mishap on Walnut Street-the contrast is stark. One day the house smells of dinner and woodsmoke; the next, it’s heavy with wet ash and chemical residue. The view from the windows stays beautiful, but inside everything feels wrong.

We’ve worked in this river village for more than 38 years. Zicklin Contracting understands fire damage restoration in Dobbs Ferry requires respect for both the property and the steep, narrow lots that make access tricky and drying more demanding.
The Village Layout Changes How We Approach the Job
Many Dobbs Ferry homes are multi-level, built into hillsides with basements that open to the back or lower walk-outs. Firefighting water follows gravity-running down stairs, pooling in low corners, seeping into foundation walls. Smoke rises and spreads horizontally through open floor plans common in renovated properties.
Older homes from the early 1900s feature lathe and plaster, which holds soot deeply. Newer additions with modern insulation can trap moisture longer. The river proximity adds consistent humidity, so we know to push drying harder and monitor longer than in drier inland spots.
