Who We Are

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Hays scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Hays Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Hays, NC insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.

Core Services

What Hays Customers Actually Get With Fire Damage Removal

Emergency Mitigation

Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

Commercial Restoration

A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Hays jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Hays permitting.

Odor Elimination

We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

Contents & Pack-Out

Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.
