Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration – Portland Metro, Central Oregon & SW Washington

Comprehensive Fire, Smoke & Soot Cleanup, Structural Repair & Full Rebuilds

From small kitchen fires to major structural losses, Performance Plus Restoration (PPR) provides insurance-focused fire damage restoration, smoke cleanup, and complete reconstruction.
A fire event leaves behind more than burns and ash. Smoke soaks into walls, insulation, flooring, HVAC ducts, and porous materials. Soot can travel into hidden cavities and coat surfaces throughout the home. Water used during firefighting creates additional moisture issues.
For Oregon and Washington homeowners, the destruction is overwhelming — and fire restoration requires skilled professionals who understand the science of cleanup and the complexities of building repair. Our job is to restore your property safely, completely, and correctly. We handle the entire process — from inspection and insurance coordination to final finishes — so you can move forward with confidence.

With deep expertise in restoration and reconstruction, we rebuild homes safely, cleanly, and efficiently — managing everything from emergency response to full structural rebuild.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process (Step-by-Step)

Emergency Response & Safety Assessment

Our teams inspect the property to assess fire, smoke, soot, and water damage. Structural elements are reviewed for safety concerns, and any prior mitigation work is evaluated.

Smoke, Soot & Odor Evaluation

Smoke penetrates deeper than most homeowners realize. Inspections of walls, ceilings, cabinets, insulation, attic spaces, HVAC systems, and flooring for soot penetration and odor saturation to determine what must be cleaned versus replaced.

Water Removal & Structural Drying

Most fire damage includes water damage from firefighting efforts. Our teams extract standing water, dry structural elements, prevent mold, and restore proper moisture conditions.

Soot Removal & Decontamination

There is specialized cleaning tools used along with HEPA vacuums, dry sponges, guided chemical agents, and deodorization technology to remove soot, ash, residue, and carcinogens from surfaces and air.

Scope & Insurance Coordination

We prepare or review the repair scope with close attention to structural integrity, code compliance, and realistic material costs. We coordinate professionally with adjusters to document legitimate repair needs.

Permitting & Project Planning

Fire repairs often require permits, inspections, and trade coordination. We manage the permitting process and sequence work properly to avoid delays.

Reconstruction & Finishes

Our team completes framing, rough-ins, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, and final finishes — focusing on quality workmanship and efficient timelines.

Final Walkthrough & Completion

We walk the project with you, address punch-list items, and confirm the work matches the approved scope (and any agreed-upon upgrades).

Working With Your Insurance Company

Fire losses often involve multiple adjusters, consultants, and reports. Our role is to keep the repair scope clear, realistic, and code-compliant, so approvals move forward smoothly. We provide adjuster-ready documentation and answer reasonable questions about the work required to restore your property properly.

Fire & Smoke Damage FAQs

Restoration timelines depend on the severity of the fire. Minor smoke and soot jobs may take several days, while full structural rebuilds can take weeks or months. Oregon and Washington homes vary widely in age and construction type — older Portland Metro and SW Washington homes may require additional framing or electrical upgrades, while newer Central Oregon homes may need smoke removal from complex HVAC systems. After inspection, Performance Plus Restoration provides a detailed timeline tailored to your specific fire damage.

Most fire damage — including smoke, soot, odor, and water damage from firefighting — is covered by homeowners’ insurance. Performance Plus Restoration helps guide the claims process by providing adjuster-ready documentation, detailed photos, a full scope of work, and professional recommendations. Oregon and Washington insurance carriers are familiar with fire claims due to seasonal wildfire smoke and residential fire trends, and we help homeowners navigate the process smoothly.

In Oregon and Washington homes, smoke often penetrates deeper than expected — into insulation, framing, drywall, cabinetry, duct systems, and subfloors. Light smoke may require surface cleaning and deodorization, but heavy smoke damage usually involves removing and replacing affected materials. Performance Plus Restoration performs detailed testing to determine whether rebuilding is necessary to ensure long-term odor elimination and structural health.

Yes. Our teams use professional odor-neutralizing technologies including thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and deep cleaning agents to remove odors at their molecular level. In the Portland Metro and SW Washington damp winters or Central Oregon’s dry climate, odor can linger in hidden cavities — we eliminate it completely, not mask it.

Absolutely. Fire damage almost always involves significant water intrusion. We extract water, dry the structure, prevent mold, and repair materials weakened by moisture. Because we are both a restoration and remodeling contractor, we can handle the full process in-house — ensuring your home returns to a safe and stable condition.

Yes. Many Oregon and Washington homeowners take advantage of reconstruction to update layouts, replace outdated finishes, or add modern features. Because we have a full remodeling division, we can incorporate kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home upgrades seamlessly into the rebuild process.
