Who We Are

Why Ely Property Owners Keep Our Number Saved

We opened in the Ely area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Local experience in 52227 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Ely's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.

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

Licensed & Insured

Full coverage on every job we run in Ely, IA.

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Ely line, any hour.

III

IICRC Trained

Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.

Adjuster-Ready Files

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

We also keep a running photo log for every Ely job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

Signs A Ely Property Needs Fire Damage Removal Today, Not Next Week

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Ely, IA 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 Ely 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.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Ely

Emergency Mitigation

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Ely loss from spreading further.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Ely homes.

Commercial Restoration

Phased scopes that let Ely businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.

Structural Rebuild

We rebuild to Ely, IA code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.

Odor Elimination

Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

Contents & Pack-Out

Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Ely property is under repair.

Reviewing the written scope with a Ely homeowner

Our Guarantee

The Standard We Hold Every Fire Damage Removal Job To

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.

No Surprise Line Items

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.

Single Point Of Contact

One coordinator manages your Ely 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 Ely fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
