What to Expect When You Book

You'll start with an on-site inspection where the extent of structural damage, smoke penetration, and material loss is documented. In Jersey City, response times matter because open walls and roof damage expose your property to weather and security risks. The team arrives with equipment to tarp openings, extract damaged drywall, and remove debris that blocks access to framing.

Once demolition is complete, you'll notice cleared spaces ready for new framing, updated electrical runs, and plumbing repairs if water was used during firefighting. PNS General Contractor manages reconstruction from studs to paint, so you're not coordinating multiple companies through each phase. Smoke stains disappear after proper sealing and priming, and rooms return to full function with new flooring and trim installed to match your original layout.

This service does not include contents cleaning or personal property restoration, which are typically handled by separate specialists. It focuses entirely on the building itself, from securing the structure to completing interior finishes. If permits are required for structural changes, those are pulled and inspected as part of the process.

How Our Process Works

Understanding what happens during fire damage restoration helps you prepare for decisions about layout changes, material upgrades, and timeline expectations.

How soon can work begin after a fire?
Work can begin as soon as the fire marshal clears the property for access. Emergency securing and demolition often start within 24 to 48 hours to prevent further damage.
What gets removed during demolition?
Charred framing, smoke-saturated drywall, damaged flooring, and any materials that can't be cleaned or sealed are removed. You'll see the structure down to studs and subfloor in affected areas.
How long does a full fire restoration take?
Timelines depend on the scope of damage, but most residential projects in Jersey City take four to eight weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Larger buildings or permit delays may extend that window.
What happens if structural framing is compromised?
Damaged joists, studs, or beams are replaced with new lumber that meets current code requirements. A structural engineer may be consulted if load-bearing elements need redesign.
Can you match finishes to undamaged areas?
Yes, flooring, trim, and paint are selected to match your existing materials as closely as possible. If exact matches aren't available, you'll be given options before installation begins.
