After a kitchen fire or a larger house fire in Burlington, we rebuild what was lost, from the framing to the finishes, with the City of Burlington permits and inspections a fire repair needs.
Make the house safe first. Shut off the water at the main valve, stay away from wet outlets and the electrical panel, and call your insurer to open a claim. They usually send a cleanup company to remove the water and dry the house, or to clean up after smoke. We don't do that emergency cleanup. We come in once the house is dry and rebuild everything that was damaged, and you're welcome to call us now to talk it through.
The same crews and licensed trades who built these Burlington kitchens and basements rebuild after fire and smoke damage, with the same finish and the same warranty.
Alton Village, Burlington
Maple, Burlington
Brant Hills, BurlingtonMost house fires start in the kitchen, and even a small one can leave smoke in the drywall and insulation of the rooms around it. Repairs to framing, beams or joists need a City of Burlington building permit, and rewiring needs an electrical inspection. We prepare the drawings and handle both, so the repair is on record.
Family owned since 2003We are a family-owned renovation company with offices in Oakville and Burlington. The people who write your rebuild scope are the people who build it.
Call your insurer to open a claim. If water is still in the house or there was smoke, a cleanup company removes it and dries or cleans the house. Your insurer usually arranges this.
We look at every damaged room, take photos and measurements, and write up exactly what needs to be rebuilt, room by room.
We can walk the house with your adjuster and answer their questions, so the approved scope matches the damage that is really there.
Insurance pays to put things back as they were. If you want more, such as a new layout or better finishes, we price it separately so you decide.
A project lead runs the job with our own crews and licensed trades, with permits where they are needed. You see updates and photos in your client portal.
We go over every room together and finish your list. Our four-year workmanship warranty starts here.
After a small kitchen fire in Burlington, the rebuild usually takes a few weeks. After a larger fire, expect a few months, with an engineer, permits and inspections along the way.

Permits, smoke odour, staying somewhere else and insurance.
Repairs to framing, beams or joists need a City of Burlington building permit, and often an engineer's design first. Rewiring needs an electrical permit and inspection. We prepare the drawings and handle the permits and inspections.
A cleaning company treats what can be cleaned. Where the odour stays in insulation or drywall, we replace it rather than paint over it, because painted-over smoke comes back on humid days.
After a larger fire, the house usually can't be lived in while it is rebuilt. Many home policies pay for somewhere to stay and other extra costs during the repair. Ask your adjuster what yours covers.
Fire is covered by almost every home policy. The insurer pays to rebuild to how the house was, less your deductible. If building code now asks for more than what was there before, ask your adjuster whether your policy covers it.
No. Soot and smoke cleaning is done by a specialist cleaning company, which your insurer usually arranges. We come in after that and rebuild.

In most cases, yes. Your insurer may suggest a contractor, but you can usually choose your own. Check your policy and tell your adjuster who you want to use, and we will send them our written scope.
You do. Your insurer pays the approved amount for the repair, less your deductible. Anything you add on top of the approved repairs, such as upgrades, is between you and us and priced separately.
Yes, and it is often the best time to do it. Insurance pays to put the room back as it was. If you want a different layout or better finishes, we price the difference separately so you can see exactly what you are adding.
