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.
North Fort Myers fire claims split between site-built single-family (Verandah, Magnolia Landing, older subdivisions) and mobile-home claims (along US-41, Bayshore Road). Mobile-home fire scope is distinct — different construction means different smoke and soot patterns.
Our North Fort Myers crew works across the full city — from Manatee Park, Shell Factory, Bayshore Park, US-41 corridor — and we're familiar with how fire damage restoration scope changes between Pine Lakes and Suncoast Estates.
North Fort Myers disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), tropical storm seasons. Post-disaster construction quality varies — fire restoration scope often uncovers prior storm damage that was never fully addressed.
A kitchen fire in a 1975 Pine Lakes single-wide and a lightning strike in a Magnolia Landing two-story are two different jobs from the moment the engine clears the scene. North Fort Myers carries thousands of HUD-code manufactured homes from the 1970s and 1980s — wood-frame walls, particleboard sheathing, single-wall electrical, vinyl-covered gypsum interior — that burn and collapse on a timeline site-built crews aren't always prepared for. The structural assessment looks different here. So does the smoke residue, and so does the carrier conversation.
Manufactured-home framing is engineered light: 2x3 or 2x4 studs at 16 or 24 inches on center, marriage-line splices held with steel straps, and roof trusses cut to minimum bearing depth. A fire compromises that framing faster than a CBS site-build because there's less wood and no concrete heat sink. We engage a licensed structural engineer before any reconstruction in Tamiami Village, Old Bridge Village, or the Bayshore parks — any unit where a wall has lost a stud bay, a marriage-line strap has been heat-exposed, or a truss bottom chord shows charring beyond surface depth needs an engineered repair plan, not a field judgment.
Mobile and manufactured homes are full of materials site-built remediation doesn't always handle the same way. Vinyl-covered gypsum (the printed wall panels in any pre-2000 unit) cannot be washed — the vinyl delaminates and the gypsum behind it swells from the moisture in any cleaning solution. We dry-sponge the surface, run hydroxyl generators in containment for 72-96 hours to neutralize odor, then make a replace-vs-clean call panel by panel. Pressboard cabinetry behaves similarly — soot penetrates the edges where the laminate ends, and no surface cleaning gets it out. The scope has to call replacement honestly so the homeowner isn't fighting odor six months later.
A meaningful share of pre-1985 North Fort Myers homes — site-built in Suncoast Estates and Pine Lakes, manufactured throughout the Bayshore corridor — still carry aluminum branch wiring or Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels. Both are now flagged hazards in insurance underwriting and both show up as fire origin causes in Lee County investigation reports. After a panel or wiring fire we don't reconnect to the existing infrastructure. The panel gets replaced, aluminum branch circuits get pulled or re-terminated with AlumiConn at every device, and the upgrade gets permitted through Lee County so the carrier's reconstruction draw has a code-compliant electrical scope behind it.
We open every fire claim under both fire and water mitigation codes — Lee County hydrant response averages 200-400 gallons inside the structure on a contained fire, and Category 3 water sitting in a manufactured-home belly becomes a mold job inside 48 hours if nobody runs containment. From the office we stage board-up, dry-out, and contents inventory in parallel. One project manager runs the file end to end so the homeowner moves back in instead of arguing residual odor with their adjuster.

Our North Fort Myers fire damage restoration crew dispatches across the full city — from Pine Lakes, Suncoast Estates, Foxmoor, Hancock Creek, Tamiami Village, Old Bridge Village, Pine Island Road corridor, covering ZIP codes 33903, 33917. Fire damage spread patterns vary between North Fort Myers's construction types — we adapt our cleaning passes accordingly.
North Fort Myers insurance carriers we work with: Manufactured-home carriers, Citizens, NFIP. 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:
Single-wide mobile homes use lightweight 2x3 or 2x4 framing on 16- or 24-inch centers with a metal roof, gypsum or paneling interior, and limited fire-blocking between cavities. Heat travels through the chase and along the marriage line faster than in CBS construction, so structural assessment after even a contained kitchen fire has to include the ceiling cavity, end walls, and chassis bracing. We work with a structural engineer familiar with HUD-code construction before approving repair-in-place. If the chassis crossmembers have lost temper or the marriage line has racked, replacement is often more honest than restoration.
Older North Fort Myers homes often still run on aluminum branch circuits, undersized service panels, or Federal Pacific equipment that should have been retired decades ago. After an electrical fire we coordinate with a licensed electrician to evaluate the entire service, not just the burned section, because heat damage propagates along conductors and shows up later as failed insulation. Restoration cannot start until the panel and any suspect circuits are de-energized and tagged. We document the pre-existing wiring condition for the carrier since policies treat sudden electrical loss differently than long-term degradation.
Smoke residue in a Pine Lakes single-family home varies by fuel: protein fires from kitchen grease leave a thin oily film, while synthetic-content fires from electronics leave acidic char that etches metal and glass. We identify the residue type, then HEPA-vacuum loose particulate, dry-sponge porous surfaces, and wet-clean non-porous surfaces with the appropriate counteractant. HVAC ducts get inspected and cleaned because the system will redistribute residue otherwise. Hard-set odor in framing is addressed with hydroxyl or ozone treatment after occupants leave. We document each step for the insurer's contents and structure sublimits separately.
Manufactured homes have tighter interior volumes and lower ceilings than CBS construction, so smoke saturation of contents is usually more severe per cubic foot. We do a pack-out under inventory, separating clearly destroyed items from candidates for ultrasonic cleaning, ozone treatment, or textile restoration. Photos and serial numbers are recorded on a contents manifest tied to your policy. Mobile-home policies sometimes have lower personal-property limits than HO-3, so triage favors high-value or irreplaceable items first. We provide the adjuster a salvage-versus-replace recommendation with cost estimates for each path.
Timeline depends on damage scope, but for a contained kitchen or bedroom fire in North Fort Myers we typically see two to four weeks for mitigation and another two to four months for reconstruction once permits clear Lee County review. Mobile homes in licensed parks may need park-management sign-off in addition to county permits. Critical-path items are utility restoration, structural sign-off if framing was affected, and HVAC certification once duct cleaning is verified. We coordinate ALE (additional living expense) documentation with your carrier so the per-diem clock matches the actual displacement period.
