Fire Damage Restoration Westchester County | Zicklin Contracting

It happens fast. A small kitchen flare-up, an electrical short, a candle left burning too long. Suddenly the house fills with smoke, alarms scream, and then the firefighters are gone, leaving behind a quiet that feels heavier than the noise ever did. In Westchester County, where every street seems to tell its own story – old stone houses in Pelham, family ranches in New Rochelle, sprawling properties in Chappaqua – the aftermath of a fire can feel especially personal. The black streaks on the ceiling, the acrid smell that clings to everything, the water-soaked floors that squish underfoot. It’s a lot. Zicklin Contracting has been helping Westchester families face exactly this for more than 38 years. We know how overwhelming it feels, and we know how to start putting things back together.

Repairs and rebuilding happen with attention to detail

New York City’s five boroughs – Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island – are what most people picture when they think of “New York.” It’s a crazy mix of old brownstones, shiny skyscrapers, and neighborhoods that each have their own personality. For the past 37 years, we’ve been helping homeowners all across those boroughs with everything from full renovations to emergency repairs after fires or floods. Now we’re bringing the same level of care and quick response to Westchester County too. Whether you’re in Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale, or one of the smaller towns up there, we’ve got you covered with the same reliable restoration work we’ve been doing in the city all these years.

Why Waiting Makes Everything Harder

Most people need a little time to process what just happened. That’s completely understandable. But the reality is that every hour counts. Openings in the roof or broken windows let rain in, especially during those unpredictable Westchester storms. Heat-damaged framing can lose strength quickly. Electrical wiring that looks fine on the surface may be compromised and become a hidden hazard. The sooner we get in to secure the property and start drying it out, the more we can save – both structurally and emotionally.

What It Feels Like to Work With Us

We’ve been in enough Westchester homes to know that people care deeply about their space – the little things that make it yours, the way the light hits the dining room, the quiet street outside.

We work carefully in neighborhoods, keep the disruption as low as possible, and use materials that will stand up to our weather for years.

You’ll always get straight answers, no jargon, just clear next steps. And we back the whole job with our 5 years guarantee. That matters to us because it matters to you.

Over 38 years of real experience with fires just like yours

Full licensing, bonding, and insurance you can count on

24/7 availability because emergencies don’t keep regular hours

How We Actually Walk Through the Process


When you call us, someone from our team is on the way quickly, often the same day. We start with the basics: boarding up windows and doors, tarping any roof damage, clearing away loose charred debris so the place stays safe. Then we get the water out. Powerful extractors, big fans, dehumidifiers – we set everything up and monitor it closely until the building is bone-dry. We check hidden areas with moisture meters so nothing gets missed.


Next comes the cleaning. Soot is stubborn, especially on textured walls or antique woodwork that so many Westchester homes have. We use the right tools for each surface: gentle dry methods for delicate items, stronger techniques where needed, HEPA filtration to keep the air breathable. Smoke smell is another beast – we use thermal fogging and ozone to reach deep and truly neutralize it, not just cover it up.


From there we rebuild. Damaged framing gets repaired or replaced. Roofing, siding, windows go back in. Inside, new drywall goes up, paint goes on, floors get refinished or replaced. We try hard to honor the original character of the house – whether that’s keeping original trim details or matching historic paint colors. If personal belongings can be cleaned and saved, we handle that too, carefully and respectfully.

We also stay on top of the insurance side. Photos every step of the way, clear notes, itemized lists – whatever your adjuster needs, we provide it. It helps keep things moving without you having to chase paperwork.

Common Questions About Sidewalk Violations

question 01

How soon do we really need to call someone?

As soon as it’s safe. The first 24–48 hours make a huge difference in how much damage can be prevented.

question 02

Does insurance normally cover this?

Yes, most policies cover sudden accidental fires. We help with all the documentation so you’re not left figuring it out alone.

question 03

How long will it take to get back in?

It depends – smoke-only jobs can wrap up in weeks, while major structural work takes months. We’ll give you a realistic picture after we see the house.

question 04

Can my stuff be saved?

A lot of times, yes. We clean and store what can be restored and document anything that can’t for insurance.

question 05

Will the smoke smell ever really go away?

With the right treatment, absolutely. We don’t just mask it – we remove the source.
