A structure fire changes a Lewiston property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Lewiston roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
Every Lewiston job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Lewiston, CA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Lewiston properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Lewiston permitting.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
One coordinator manages your Lewiston job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Lewiston fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
