Overview

From Board Up to the Day You Move Back In

Onsite handles fire damage restoration in Tampa from the first emergency board up to the final walkthrough of a finished home. A house fire leaves more than burned framing. Smoke pushes into closets and cabinets, soot settles on every surface, and the water the fire department used to put it out soaks into floors and walls. Recovery means dealing with all of it at once, and that is exactly what we are built to do.

The first move is securing the property. We board up broken windows and openings and tarp the roof so the weather, and anyone wandering by, stays out while the work gets planned. From there we tackle the smoke and soot, because those keep doing damage the longer they sit. Soot is acidic and eats at finishes, metal and grout, and that sharp smoke smell soaks into porous materials until the space is properly cleaned and deodorized.

Then comes the part most cleanup companies cannot do: the structural rebuild. Onsite is a state licensed Florida general contractor, so the same team that cleans the soot also reframes what burned, hangs new drywall, refinishes the floors and repaints the walls. One crew carries your home from a charred shell back to the place you recognize, with no handoff to a separate builder in the middle.

Restoration

Soot and Smoke Keep Working After the Flames Are Out

The fire is the loud part, but the quiet damage comes next. Acidic soot etches into countertops, fixtures and finishes, and smoke odor sinks deeper into drywall and fabric every day it goes untreated. The sooner the cleanup starts, the more of your home and belongings can actually be saved instead of replaced.

Why Onsite

Why Onsite After a Fire in Tampa

We Secure It First

We board up windows and openings and tarp the roof right away, so weather and intruders stay out while the rebuild gets planned and your fire insurance claim gets started.

Smoke and Soot Handled Right

We clean soot off every surface and deodorize the structure so the smoke smell is gone for good, not masked. Done early, this saves finishes and belongings that would otherwise be lost.

Full Structural Rebuild

As a licensed general contractor we reframe, redrywall, refloor and repaint, taking your home all the way back to how it looked before the fire instead of stopping at cleanup.

We Work the Claim With You

We document the fire damage and write the rebuild scope the way your insurer expects, then deal with the adjuster directly so the claim keeps moving while you focus on your family.

Questions

Tampa Fire Damage Questions

What is the first thing you do after a fire? +
We secure the home. That means a board up of broken windows and doors and a tarp over any roof damage, so the weather and trespassers stay out. Then we plan the smoke and soot cleanup and the rebuild.
Can you get rid of the smoke smell? +
Yes. Smoke odor sinks into drywall, insulation and fabric, so we clean and deodorize the structure rather than spray over the smell. When it is done right the smoke damage is gone, not hiding.
How do you handle soot cleanup? +
Soot is acidic and keeps eating at finishes the longer it sits, so we clean it off walls, ceilings, cabinets and fixtures early. Acting fast is what saves surfaces and belongings that would otherwise have to be replaced.
Do you rebuild the parts of the home that burned? +
We do, and this is where being a licensed contractor matters. We reframe what burned, hang new drywall, redo flooring and repaint, restoring the home to before the fire. The same crew that cleans up also does the fire rebuild.
Will you work with my fire insurance claim? +
Yes. We photograph the fire damage, write the rebuild scope in the format your adjuster expects and communicate with the insurance company directly, which keeps your claim moving and your payout fair.
How fast can you respond? +
Call (813) 394-8783 and we will get someone out to board up and secure the home. The faster the soot and smoke cleanup starts, the more of your home we can save.
