What fire & smoke damage restoration looks like in Matthews
We're fully insured and available 24/7 across the Charlotte metro, and most of the calls we take in Matthews start with a kitchen or electrical fire contained to one room that still leaves smoke damage throughout the house. We assess the full extent before quoting, not just the burned room.
Homes of that vintage sit in an awkward spot: too new to be considered historic, old enough that everything mechanical is now past its service life. In Matthews we're regularly replacing polybutylene supply lines discovered mid-project, upgrading panels that can't carry a modern bathroom's load, and reworking bathrooms whose layouts made sense when the house had one shared bath and now don't. We look for those issues during the consultation instead of at demolition, because finding a polybutylene line on day one of a fixed-price job is exactly the kind of surprise that wrecks a schedule. Mature tree canopy here also means storm and roof calls after every serious wind event.

What we plan for on Matthews restoration services jobs
Aging polybutylene and early CPVC supply appear in some of this era's housing, and when they fail the loss is sudden and large. We extract and dry the same visit and document the failed material for your carrier.
Matthews is compact and easy to route, and most neighborhoods have straightforward driveway access. Mature tree canopy does affect roof staging and dumpster placement, which we confirm on the walkthrough.
Permitting: work involving plumbing relocation, new circuits or structural change is permitted and inspected through the Town of Matthews, with inspections handled by Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement. We file and manage that as part of the project.
- 1980s and 1990s homes with original hall baths and dated 4-inch tile
- Mature landscaping and established trees that complicate roof and siding access
- A well-preserved older downtown core with different construction than the surrounding subdivisions

Fire damage is typically covered under a standard homeowners policy. We document everything and work directly with your adjuster through mitigation and rebuild.

In most cases yes, with the right combination of source cleaning and odor treatment. Severely affected porous material like drywall or insulation sometimes needs to be replaced rather than deodorized.
