Our Work
Recent fire damage restoration projects.
After a fire, the smoke and water from suppression do as much damage as the flames. We handle board-up, soot removal, odor neutralization, contents cleaning, and full structural reconstruction — billed direct to your fire claim.
The hardest part of fire restoration isn't the fire — it's the layered damage from smoke and the firefighting water. Soot is acidic; left untreated it corrodes metal and stains permanently within days. Smoke odor migrates into HVAC, insulation, and behind drywall. We handle all of it, plus the structural rebuild.
Bonita Springs' fire claim profile splits into two camps: high-end single-family losses in Bonita Bay / Pelican Landing requiring premium content cleaning, and condo fires in older multi-family developments where containment between units matters most. We dispatch with hydroxyl generators on every Bonita fire call because of the seasonal-home pattern (most fires discovered after extended unoccupancy).
Our Bonita Springs crew works across the full city — from Riverside Park, Bonita Beach Park, Everglades Wonder Gardens, Bonita Springs YMCA, Promenade at Bonita Bay, Coconut Point (Estero border) — and we're familiar with how fire damage restoration scope changes between Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing.
Bonita Springs disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), Tropical Storm Eta (2020). Post-disaster construction quality varies — fire restoration scope often uncovers prior storm damage that was never fully addressed.
A grease fire in a 2015 Bonita National kitchen and a slow-cook electrical fire in a 1976 Old Bonita home that smoldered for hours behind a wall before the smoke detector tripped are two different jobs from the first walk-through. Bonita Springs fire losses skew toward older inland builds with original aluminum branch circuits, vacant-home electrical events that go undetected for hours, and combination fire-plus-sprinkler losses in newer condo product around Coconut Point. Each profile drives a different scope, different documentation, and a different conversation with the carrier's fire investigator.
A meaningful share of homes between Old 41 and Riverside Park were built in the late 1970s with aluminum branch wiring at receptacles and switches. After any fire event in that envelope, the engineering review has to verify the aluminum terminations in adjacent boxes have not lost spring tension from heat exposure. We do not sheetrock over aluminum runs that passed through a fire zone — every termination gets pigtailed with COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors, or pulled and replaced with copper, with a licensed electrician signing the inspection card. The 50-year-old aluminum was already a slow-burn ignition risk. After a fire it becomes an active hazard until it is properly terminated.
Synthetic combustion (couch foam, vinyl plank, modern electronics) produces a wet, acidic smoke that bonds aggressively to surfaces carrying salt deposits — common on every Bonita Springs canal-side window frame, lanai screen, and west-facing exterior wall from the Promenade at Bonita Bay down through Bonita Beach Park. Dry-sponge cleaning lifts visible soot but leaves the chloride-acid film behind, and that film is what brings the odor back six weeks later. We neutralize with a controlled alkaline wash on metals and a hydroxyl-generator thermal-fog cycle on porous contents. Tile and metal roofs trap wind-driven soot under the underlayment seams; we pull a deck inspection before signing off on exterior cleaning.
Condo product around Coconut Point and the newer Bonita National towers runs full NFPA 13 sprinkler systems. When a fire trips a head, the resulting water discharge is Category 3 within 24 hours — sprinkler line water carries stagnant biofilm, pipe scale, and dissolved metals. We open the file under both fire and water mitigation codes from hour one, run drying equipment in parallel with soot containment, and keep negative air pulling odor-loaded particulate out of unaffected units in the stack above and below. That dual track is what keeps carriers from kicking the claim back for incomplete scope.
From the Bonita Springs dispatch we roll a board-up crew within two hours of the call, secure the structure against the salt-laden onshore breeze that drives soot deeper into porous finishes, document chain-of-custody on contents, and stand up containment before the smoke migrates further into the HVAC. One project manager carries the file from emergency through reconstruction. That is how a Bonita Springs fire claim ends with the homeowner moving back in instead of arguing with their adjuster about residual odor through the next dry season.
Roof tarp, window board, and structural assessment within hours of dispatch. Stops further damage from rain and intrusion.
Water extraction, structural drying, soot cleaning, and HVAC decontamination. Contents pack-out for off-site cleaning when needed.
Thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators eliminate odor. Then full reconstruction — drywall, paint, flooring, fixtures, finishes.

Our Bonita Springs fire damage restoration crew dispatches across the full city — from Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Hawthorne, Spanish Wells, Bonita Beach, San Carlos Park (south), Riverwood, Imperial Shores, Bonita Farms, Bonita National, covering ZIP codes 34134, 34135. Fire damage spread patterns vary between Bonita Springs's construction types — we adapt our cleaning passes accordingly.
Bonita Springs insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Property, NFIP flood claims, HOA carriers for Bonita Bay / Pelican Landing. We bill direct on most claims and document to adjuster standards from the first call.
Same crew, same standards — we cover the surrounding cities too:
Because smoke residue is acidic and travels through the HVAC, and modern condo fires off Bonita Beach Road burn synthetics that produce protein and plastic-derived smoke. Within 24 hours, acidic residue starts etching aluminum window frames, corroding electronics, and yellowing PVC trim and vinyl flooring. The Xactimate scope expands beyond the fire room to include HVAC cleaning, thermal fogging, ozone or hydroxyl treatment, contents pack-out for ultrasonic cleaning, and replacement of porous materials within the smoke path. We seal the unit, set hydroxyl generators, and HEPA-vacuum every horizontal surface in the building's affected stack. Citizens and Tower Hill expect this scope and will line-item it.
Both, and the combination is one of the most expensive restoration losses we handle. Sprinkler discharge is treated as Category 2 water under IICRC S500 because it sits in iron piping and carries rust and biofilm, so every soft good below the discharge line comes out. Layered on top is fire and smoke residue from the original event. The Xactimate estimate has two parallel scopes that share demo line items but separate cleaning, sanitization, and content-handling line items. We document the sprinkler activation time from the fire alarm panel and the building engineer so the adjuster can apportion costs correctly between sublines.
Salt air and 30+ years of coastal exposure off the Imperial River pre-corrode copper conductors and aluminum branch wiring in homes built in the 70s and 80s. When a fire pushes heat and acidic smoke through wall cavities, marginal connections fail and previously-borderline wiring trips inspection. Our protocol on any pre-1985 Bonita Springs home is to have the master electrician megger-test affected circuits and pull at least one J-box per branch in the smoke path. We have seen entire circuits condemned that the homeowner thought were a few outlets. This gets line-itemed in Xactimate as ELE rough-in and is often a covered consequence of the fire.
First step is securing the loss: we mobilize within hours to board up, tarp, and lock down the structure, then provide the homeowner a notarized authorization-to-perform-emergency-services packet to send to Tower Hill or Citizens. We document with 4K video walkthroughs and timestamped photos so the absentee owner can see everything we see. Most carriers have a virtual-adjustment option for out-of-state policyholders, and we coordinate the Zoom inspection on the homeowner's behalf. Tower Hill specifically requires the fire marshal report and a sworn proof of loss within 60 days, which we help prepare alongside the Xactimate estimate.
Most rigid and semi-porous contents in a Bonita Springs fire can be restored through ultrasonic cleaning, ozone chambers, and hydroxyl exposure at our facility. Soft goods (upholstery, mattresses, pillows) and porous items in the immediate fire room are usually a total loss; everything else gets pack-out, inventoried with photos and barcodes, cleaned, and stored climate-controlled until reconstruction is done. We have seen $80,000 art collections and Steinway pianos from homes off West Terry Street recovered fully when we got to them within 48 hours. Document non-restorable items room-by-room with photos before disposal so the personal-property line in your claim is defensible.
