Fire and Smoke Damage
Colorado Springs, CO
Emergency board-up, smoke remediation, odor elimination, and complete structural rebuild. One licensed contractor managing every step of your fire damage recovery.
Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Colorado Springs
Fire damage extends well beyond the areas that burned. Smoke travels throughout the entire structure, depositing soot on surfaces and permeating porous materials including drywall, insulation, wood framing, and personal belongings. Fixins handles the complete restoration process from emergency board-up immediately after the event through complete structural rebuild.
Emergency Board-Up and Tarping
Immediately after a fire event, your property needs to be secured against weather, unauthorized entry, and further damage. Fixins dispatches board-up and tarping crews around the clock to secure openings and protect the structure while the restoration assessment and planning process begins.
Smoke and Soot Remediation
Smoke residue is highly acidic and continues causing damage to surfaces and materials if not removed promptly. Our remediation process removes visible soot from all affected surfaces and treats porous materials to neutralize the acidic residue that accelerates corrosion and deterioration.
Odor Elimination
Smoke odor penetrates deeply into building materials and cannot be eliminated by painting over affected surfaces. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generation technology to neutralize odor compounds at the molecular level throughout the structure.
Structural Rebuild
As a licensed General Contractor, Fixins manages the complete structural and finish rebuild: framing, roofing, drywall, insulation, flooring, painting, cabinetry, and any other work required to restore your home or business to pre-fire condition. Your insurance claim is coordinated through this entire process by one accountable contractor.

Fire Recovery Process
Damage Assessment
We document the full extent of fire, smoke, and water damage for your claim.
Secure and Clean
We board up, remove debris, and begin soot and residue remediation.
Odor Elimination
Specialized treatment neutralizes smoke odor trapped in porous materials.
Reconstruction
We rebuild affected areas to restore your home completely.
Beyond the Flames
Smoke Penetration
Smoke residue seeps into walls, ducts, and fabrics far from the fire source.
Water Damage
Firefighting water creates a second damage layer that must be dried and treated.
Full Coordination
We manage cleaning, structure, and odor as one project, not separate vendors.
Smoke, Soot, and Structural Recovery
Fire damage goes far beyond what burned. Smoke and soot travel through a house and settle into framing, ductwork, and surfaces, and the odor locks in if it is not addressed correctly. What looks like a small area of loss is usually a whole-home cleanup.
We assess the structural and the cosmetic together, coordinate the scope with your insurance, and rebuild so the home is sound and the smell is gone, not masked. From board-up on day one to the final finish, you work with one contractor through the entire recovery.
