Who We Are

A Licensed Clarence Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

Every technician on our Clarence roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Because our crews work 52216 regularly, they already understand which Clarence permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

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

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Clarence line, any hour.

III

We also keep a running photo log for every Clarence 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

Warning Signs Clarence Homeowners Tend To Ignore

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

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Clarence, IA fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Clarence properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Clarence

Emergency Mitigation

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Clarence loss from spreading further.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

Commercial Restoration

We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Clarence permitting.

Odor Elimination

Persistent odor after a Clarence fire usually needs equipment-based treatment, which is what this service actually is.

Contents & Pack-Out

Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.

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

Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.

Single Point Of Contact

One coordinator manages your Clarence job from the first call to the final walkthrough.

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