Author: Darin Jenks

At Swift Restoration and Remodeling, we take pride in helping homeowners recover from unexpected disasters. Recently, we got a call for help from a homeowner who needed our smoke and fire damage restoration services in Syracuse, Utah. The fire had caused horrible damage to their garage and affected the entire house, leaving the family in distress. The clients gave us their trust to restore and remodel their home. Our team was determined to not only repair the damage but also improve the living space beyond their expectations. 


A Call for Help from Our Worried Client


A serious house fire struck a residential home in Syracuse, Utah. The blaze damaged the garage and caused smoke damage throughout the house. The homeowner faced the challenging task of restoring their home and dealing with their insurance company. That's when our Swift Restoration and Remodeling team entered the picture to handle the fire damage restoration and remodel.

How We Tackled This Multi-Level Fire Damage


At Swift Restoration and Remodeling, we are aware of the traumatic nature of the house fire incidents. Our main goal is to make the restoration process as smooth and stress-free as possible for our clients. Here’s how we tackled this project:

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Planning


When we arrived at the site, we thoroughly assessed the areas affected by the fire and smoke damage. This included checking the structural elements of the garage, kitchen, and other affected areas. We worked closely with the homeowner to understand their needs. Besides that,  we collaborated with their insurance company to make sure the clients got the repair coverage they deserved.


Step 2: Fire Damage Clean-Up


The first major task was the clean-up. We removed all damaged materials, including burnt drywall, insulation, and ceilings. The garage had to be partially torn down because of the extent of the fire damage. We made sure that all debris was safely cleared from the site.


Step 3: Smoke Removal


Smoke left behind stubborn odors and residues. We used advanced smoke removal techniques to eliminate all traces of smoke from the home. This included cleaning and odor removal of all affected areas to confirm that the air quality was at a healthy level again.


Step 4: Structural Repairs and Remodeling


Once we completed the clean-up, our team started the rebuilding process. We worked with the homeowner to design a new layout that better suited their needs. This included:

  • Installing new drywall and insulation
  • Repairing and painting ceilings
  • Replacing damaged flooring
  • Restoring and refinishing furniture pieces


Step 5: Final Touches and Quality Check


Attention to detail is key to a successful restoration. Our team completed the final touches, making sure that every aspect of the home was perfect. We did a thorough quality check to make sure the homeowner was completely satisfied with the results.

The transformation was impressive. The new layout improved it to a great extent. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, praising our team's professionalism, attention to detail, and transparent communication. We were glad to make friends with our clients, which helped us build a foundation for a trusting relationship. Our team looks forward to working with our clients on their future remodel projects.
