Who We Are

Meet The Team Handling Fire Damage Removal Across Dunlap

We opened in the Dunlap area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Working the 51529 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Dunlap code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Dunlap scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Licensed & Insured

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Dunlap line, any hour.

III

IICRC Trained

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

Adjuster-Ready Files

Documentation built to match what Dunlap, IA carriers expect.

We also keep a running photo log for every Dunlap job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Dunlap Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Dunlap, IA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.

Core Services

The Full Fire Damage Removal Scope We Run In Dunlap, Start To Finish

Emergency Mitigation

Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.

Commercial Restoration

A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Dunlap jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.

Structural Rebuild

Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Dunlap inspectors.

Odor Elimination

We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

Contents & Pack-Out

Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Dunlap property is under repair.

Our Guarantee

Our Written Guarantee, Not Just A Sales Line

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.

No Surprise Line Items

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.

Single Point Of Contact

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.

We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Dunlap fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
