Got Questions? We have got answers

What does fire damage restoration in New Orleans include?

Emergency board-up and tarping, debris removal, drying of firefighting water, soot and smoke cleaning, odor removal, cleaning of salvageable contents, and reconstruction. The pro you are matched with sets out the scope after inspecting the home.

Can I get same-day fire damage restoration in New Orleans?

Same-day visits are common in Orleans Parish, though not promised. Soot keeps damaging surfaces the longer it sits, and an open roof or window needs to be secured quickly. The phone line is answered at any hour, and the pro confirms an arrival window with you directly.

Does insurance cover fire damage in New Orleans?

In most cases it does, though what is paid depends on your policy limits and deductible. Your insurer will send an adjuster to inspect the loss, so give them your photos, your list of damaged items and any estimate from the restoration pro. Keep receipts for emergency work such as boarding up, since protecting the home from further damage is normally expected of you.

Why use NearbyPros for fire damage restoration?

Most people do not have a fire damage restoration company saved in their phone. NearbyPros fills that gap for New Orleans: it is a free way to reach a local pro quickly, see a price in writing, and say no if it does not suit you.

How much does fire damage restoration cost in New Orleans?

Most jobs run $3,000 to $38,000. The price depends on how far the fire, smoke and soot spread, how much water damage came with it, and how much of the structure has to be rebuilt. Smoke cleanup on its own is often $200 to $1,100, and structural rebuilds sit at the top of the range. You see the estimate in writing before you agree to anything.
