Fire, smoke, and odor certifications, not general handyman training.
We work your claim directly with most major carriers.

Odor that hangs around 24 hours after the fire trucks leave usually means soot has already worked into drywall, insulation, and HVAC ductwork.
Black or yellow streaking near vents and ceilings signals airborne soot circulated through the whole structure, not just the room where the fire started.
Firefighting water combined with heat can warp flooring and cabinetry within a day if drying doesn't start immediately.
Untreated soot residue is acidic enough to corrode metal hardware and electronics in as little as two days.
Ongoing coughing or headaches inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still suspended in the air.
Most Saint Petersburg, FL policies require documented mitigation within a set window — waiting can jeopardize your claim.
Waiting even a single extra day tends to compound every one of these problems at once — odor sets deeper, soot becomes more corrosive, and materials that were salvageable on day one may not be by day three.
Board-up, tarping, and water extraction within hours of your call to stop secondary damage before it starts.
