The first step in restoring your property is to do an assessment of the damage the fire caused.  A look at the extent that fire, smoke and soot have damaged the property is necessary to provide an accurate estimate for the work that needs to be completed.  Once the estimate has been accepted the restoration can begin.  The after-effects of the fire need to be contained, this can be fixing holes in the roof to isolating a room to minimize the spread of soot.   The next step is to remove the indicators of smoke, soot and ash damage.  It can also include clearing out any leftover standing water from putting the fire out.  With the fire damage removed the final step is to replace the areas that were damaged and restore your property to its prior state.
