Every repair we perform in Somerville, NJ meets current local building code, which matters most on electrical and structural work where a shortcut can create a hidden liability at resale — not just to a standard that looks finished.

Every repair that requires a permit gets one, and gets inspected, before we consider it complete.
Framing gets evaluated for strength loss, not just visible char, before any repair decision is made.
We source matching materials so the repaired section doesn't read as an obvious patch.
You approve an itemized, written estimate before any framing or drywall comes down.
A question we hear often in Somerville is whether a general contractor can handle fire repair the same way they'd handle a standard renovation, and the honest answer is that fire repair carries structural and code considerations a typical remodel doesn't.
A general remodeling contractor isn't necessarily trained to evaluate heat damage to framing, which is a gap that matters more than it might seem.
That's part of why Somerville, NJ building departments increasingly ask for fire-specific documentation on permit applications involving structural repair, and having that documentation ready from day one keeps the Fire Damage Repair project moving instead of stalling at the permit office.
Because we work regularly with Somerville permitting offices, scheduling required inspections rarely adds significant delay to a Fire Damage Repair repair timeline.
We reinforce or replace framing members based on measured structural loss, following standard sistering techniques where repair is possible.
Smoke-damaged or heat-compromised drywall and insulation get removed and replaced to current code thickness and R-value.
Wiring exposed to fire or heat gets inspected and replaced by our licensed electrical partner, often triggering a code-required upgrade.
We repair roof framing and decking damaged either by the fire itself or by suppression efforts.
Subfloor repair happens first, since finish flooring installed over compromised subfloor won't hold up.
