Fire Damage Restoration in Metro Detroit: what to expect

After a fire, the job runs in stages: securing the house (board-up and roof tarping), removing debris, cleaning smoke and soot, drying out water from firefighting, and then rebuilding what burned. Some companies do all of it; others hand off the cleanup to a restoration specialist and handle the rebuild.

The rebuild is real construction. Charred framing may need to be replaced or reinforced, wiring near the fire is usually replaced, and the building department will want permits and inspections. Smoke travels through ductwork and wall cavities, so cleanup extends well beyond the burned room.

Most fire work is paid through a homeowners insurance claim. A contractor experienced with fire claims documents damage, writes an itemized estimate the adjuster can compare, and does not ask you to sign over more than you understand.

What a proper job includes

  • Emergency board-up and weather protection
  • Damage documentation and an itemized estimate for your insurer
  • Debris removal and demolition of damaged materials
  • Smoke and soot cleaning, odor control and drying
  • Structural repair or replacement of damaged framing
  • Electrical, plumbing and HVAC repairs by licensed trades
  • Permits, inspections and a final walkthrough

What drives the price

  • Extent of structural damage and the number of rooms affected
  • Smoke spread through ducts, attic and wall cavities
  • Water damage from firefighting
  • Wiring, plumbing and HVAC that must be replaced
  • Code upgrades triggered by the rebuild
  • Asbestos or lead testing in older homes before demolition
  • Finish level for replacement materials

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Rebuilding after a fire usually requires a building permit and separate electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits from licensed trades. In Detroit, permits and inspections go through BSEED; elsewhere, the city or township building department (or the county or state, where they enforce) issues them.

Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through LARA under Article 24 of the Occupational Code. A license is required for paid residential work above a threshold set by state law. Under the Michigan Construction Lien Act, your contractor gives you a sworn statement listing subcontractors and suppliers when requesting payment. Collect lien waivers as each is paid.

  4. Verify the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.

  6. Collect lien waivers as your insurer releases payments.
