Fire Damage Restoration Sleepy Hollow | Zicklin Contracting
Sleepy Hollow has its own quiet legend – old stone houses along Beekman Avenue, river-edge properties with views that stretch toward the Tappan Zee, narrow lanes lined with maples and oaks. When fire arrives, it feels almost out of place in a village built on history and stillness. An attic fan gone wrong in one of the 19th-century homes near Philipsburg Manor, a chimney issue in a modern build off Valley Street, or a simple holiday light string near the bridge. The emergency crews finish their work, and the house is suddenly left with water dripping from ceilings, fine ash coating every surface, and that persistent burnt smell that makes the familiar feel foreign.

Zicklin Contracting has been restoring homes and businesses in Sleepy Hollow and the surrounding river towns for more than 38 years. We know fire damage restoration in Sleepy Hollow requires a careful touch – respecting the village’s historic fabric, navigating tight access, and dealing with the way river humidity changes everything.
What We Prioritize Right Away
We start by stabilizing the property.
All compromised openings – windows, doors, roof sections – are boarded or tarped immediately.
Loose charred material is removed so the site stays safe.
Water removal follows without delay.
High-powered extractors clear standing water.
Air movers and dehumidifiers are positioned to create strong airflow through every level.
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to track hidden dampness – behind plaster, under subfloors, inside wall cavities. In Sleepy Hollow’s sloped homes, we pay extra attention to lower areas where water naturally gathers.
