FIRE DAMAGE RESTORATION

Citywide Construction provides comprehensive home and commercial fire damage repair services throughout Chicago, delivering reliable solutions during one of the most stressful and disruptive events a property owner can face. Fire damage goes far beyond visible flames—it often includes structural compromise, smoke infiltration, soot residue, water damage from firefighting efforts, and lingering odors that can make a space unsafe or uninhabitable. Our experienced team understands the complexity of fire restoration and approaches every project with urgency, precision, and care. From the moment we arrive, our priority is to secure the property, prevent further damage, and begin a clear, organized recovery process that restores safety, functionality, and peace of mind for homeowners and business owners alike.

For residential properties, Citywide Construction offers full-service fire damage repair designed to return homes to their pre-loss condition—or better. We begin with emergency response services such as board-up, temporary roof coverings, and structural stabilization to protect the home from weather exposure, vandalism, or additional deterioration. Our team then conducts a detailed inspection to assess fire, smoke, soot, and water damage throughout the property, including areas that may not be immediately visible. Using this assessment, we develop a tailored restoration plan that addresses structural repairs, drywall replacement, flooring restoration, electrical and plumbing repairs, insulation replacement, and interior finishing. We also specialize in smoke and soot cleanup, using professional-grade equipment and proven techniques to remove residue from walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and personal belongings, ensuring the home is safe and comfortable again.

In addition to structural repairs, Citywide Construction places a strong emphasis on odor removal and indoor air quality. Smoke odors can linger long after a fire if not properly treated, seeping into porous materials such as drywall, wood framing, carpets, and upholstery. Our fire damage repair services include advanced deodorization methods to eliminate odors at the source rather than masking them. This ensures that families can return to a clean, healthy living environment without reminders of the fire. Throughout the process, we communicate clearly with homeowners, explaining each step, timelines, and expectations so they feel informed and supported from start to finish.

For commercial properties, Citywide Construction understands that fire damage can interrupt operations, result in lost revenue, and affect employees and customers. Our commercial fire damage repair services are designed to minimize downtime and restore functionality as efficiently as possible. We work with offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, multi-unit buildings, and other commercial facilities across Chicago. Our team coordinates closely with property managers, business owners, and other stakeholders to create a restoration plan that aligns with operational needs and safety requirements. From structural repairs and interior rebuilds to code compliance upgrades and final finishes, we handle every aspect of the restoration with professionalism and attention to detail.

Commercial fire damage often involves complex challenges, including large-scale smoke damage, compromised support systems, and compliance with local building codes and safety regulations. Citywide Construction has the experience and resources to manage these challenges effectively. We address damaged framing, roofing, masonry, and concrete, as well as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems affected by heat and smoke. Our team ensures that all repairs meet or exceed local building standards, helping business owners reopen with confidence. Whether the damage is limited to a specific area or affects the entire structure, we are equipped to handle projects of any size or scope.

A key part of our fire damage repair services is working with insurance companies. Navigating insurance claims after a fire can be overwhelming, especially while dealing with property loss and emotional stress. Citywide Construction assists clients by documenting damage, providing detailed repair estimates, and communicating directly with insurance adjusters. Our experience working with a wide range of insurance providers helps streamline the claims process, reduce delays, and ensure that repairs are completed according to approved scopes of work. This support allows homeowners and business owners to focus on moving forward while we manage the technical and administrative aspects of restoration.

Citywide Construction also understands that fire damage often comes with secondary issues such as water damage and mold growth resulting from firefighting efforts. As part of our comprehensive fire damage repair services, we address moisture intrusion, dry affected areas, and take preventive measures to protect against mold and long-term structural issues. By handling all related repairs under one roof, we provide a seamless restoration experience that eliminates the need for multiple contractors and reduces overall project timelines.
