Restoration Rebuild in Montgomery, IL

Rebuilding a Montgomery home after fire and smoke

Once the fire department leaves, the cleanup and the rebuild can begin. Burned and smoke-soaked materials come out, soot is cleaned off the surfaces that stay, and the water from firefighting gets dried. Then we rebuild: framing repairs, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, doors, cabinets and paint. The scope is written as the cleanup goes, and you get copies of it and every photo.

We cover Montgomery, in Kane and Kendall counties, on Route 30, Route 31 and Orchard Road. A rebuild after smoke is about sealing as much as replacing. Framing that stays gets cleaned and coated with an odor-sealing primer before new insulation and board go over it, and walls that stay get a stain-blocking primer before paint. If your Montgomery house has an attached garage where the fire started, the shared wall and the ceiling above it are the first things we open up and check.

What a Montgomery fire rebuild covers

Framing cleaned and sealed

Studs and joists that stay are cleaned of soot and coated with an odor-sealing primer before anything covers them.

Insulation replaced

Smoke-soaked insulation comes out, and new insulation goes in.

New drywall

Damaged board is replaced, taped and finished to match the walls that were saved.

Stain-blocking primer

Walls and ceilings that stay get a stain-blocking primer so soot does not bleed through the new paint.

Doors, trim and cabinets

Pieces that cannot be cleaned are replaced, and the rest are cleaned and refinished.

Floors

Floors damaged by the fire or by the water used to put it out are replaced, with base and transitions.

How a Montgomery fire rebuild runs

We walk the house with you for a free estimate, written down before any work starts. As materials come out, we photograph what we find, and anything that was not on the scope gets priced in writing and waits for your approval. If the carrier's scope leaves something out, we send them a supplement and you get a copy. We book the rebuild around the days we give you and finish with a walkthrough of every room.

FAQ

Restoration Rebuild in Montgomery: questions

Can you get the smoke smell out?

We control odor by removing what holds it, sealing what stays and running HEPA air scrubbers during the work. Nothing gets covered with insulation or drywall until it has been cleaned and sealed.

Does a Montgomery fire rebuild need a permit?

A fire rebuild often involves framing and electrical, and those can need a permit. We check with the Village of Montgomery and pull what the job needs.

Do you rebuild after fires near Montgomery?

Yes. Aurora, Oswego and Plainfield are all on our list.

How long does a fire rebuild take?

It depends on how much has to be removed and rebuilt. We start the scope during the cleanup so the estimate is ready when the house is, and we give you the days for each part before work starts.

Do you carry insurance?

Yes, we carry liability insurance, and we will send the certificate before we start. Call or text (815) 585-1750 if your adjuster asks for it.
