Frequently Asked Questions
How long does fire damage restoration take?
It’s never a quick fix, though we’ve gathered together a multi-disciplined team of contractors and technicians to work in tandem to complete the work as soon as possible. From structural repairs to sand/soda-blasting to odor removal to contents cleaning, our fire damage restoration crew begins as soon as the project scope is determined, and we don’t stop until the job is done and both you and the insurance company are satisfied with the results.
Is fire damage covered by insurance?
Most often, yes. You’ll need to check your specific policy for the full scope of coverage, but generally, if the damage was caused by a flame, it’s covered. Your best bet is to hire a professional restoration to help you through the claims process. We know how to avoid some common missteps when it comes to making sure the entire loss is documented and covered. Many homeowners and insurance companies forget, for instance, to consider that your HVAC system will need to be cleaned of soot, and since fires are extinguished using water, many areas of your home may need to be restored due to water damage even if they weren’t directly affected by the fire.
How soon can I move back home after a fire?
Depending on the extent or location of the fire damage, some homeowners can move back in a few days or longer. The fire department will usually turn off electricity and gas to the property immediately, which won’t be restored until a building inspector says it’s safe to turn those utilities back on. If you experienced significant smoke damage and the home’s occupants include elderly persons, young children, or those with chronic health conditions, you may be wise to stay until the smoke cleanup is complete. Contracting with a company experienced in fire damage restoration can often get you back home sooner because they’ll have the resources to hire and manage the many tradespeople who will need to work together to make the home liveable again.
How do I clean up soot?
DIY soot removal is not recommended. Commercially available products can actually cause permanent damage to surfaces. Soot itself is primarily oil-based, but that residue also contains toxic, possibly biohazard contaminants.
I aired out my house after a small fire, but it still smells like smoke. What can I do?
Smoke damage is rarely limited to one area of the house, and it leaves behind a residue that can hide in crevices and out-of-reach areas, and a simple “airing out” may not be sufficient. We recommend consulting with a smoke damage technician who can help you troubleshoot the next steps.

Maurya,It was a pleasure working with both your husband and yourself. We hope you enjoy the new bathrooms for years to come!
When there is construction, I believe some hiccups are to be expected. Dan Dwyer himself came out to access the situation after a breakdown in communication with my builder occurred and we were able to come to a solution quickly. In the end, I must say Dwyer restoration EXCEEDED my expectations and I couldn't be happier! THANK YOU MARIO AND DAN!

Oh. My. Gosh. I have known about Dwyer for ages, but never in a million years did I think I would need to call a restoration company…until the day came. They were quick, professional, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I didn’t question for a second that they knew what they were doing, and they thoroughly answered every question I had along the way. Dwyer, I cannot thank you enough for your help during such a stressful time!

I had water damage in my master bathroom. Dwyer restoration did a fantastic job fixing the damaged area to where it looks like nothing happened. Very courteous and very professional. Great to work with. I highly recommend them
Dan and his entire crew were amazing. There were some hiccups along the way (had to change project managers part way through which was out of anyone’s hands). Our new project manager Edward was awesome. The one issue we had was with the subcontractor painting company. Dwyer built us beautiful new cabinets and to this day the paint job is what I would call “satisfactory.” In the end it was quite clear these painters were only going to do enough for a satisfactory job and that is where we left it because we didn’t want to have them come back for a 9th (literally) time. Dan Dwyer and Edward pushed hard to get them to fix things even going as far as to sit here and supervise while they worked. In the end the painters were just lazy and you can’t really fix that. The lesson here is absolutely use Dwyer Restoration. They are prompt, kind, fair, hardworking people and we would use them again in a heartbeat. Their internal survey got an 8/10 overall because of these painters but I do believe deserve a 5 star rating on here because they deserve your business and will not do you wrong. The second lesson is DO NOT use Carnival Painting if you actually want a quality paint job.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Dwyer Restoration to address significant water damage and mold issues in my home. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service.
From the moment I contacted them, the team at Dwyer Restoration was responsive and professional. They arrived promptly for the initial assessment, thoroughly inspected the damage, and provided a clear and detailed schedule to address the issues.
The remediation work was carried out efficiently and meticulously. Their team also took great care to protect the unaffected areas of my home. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail and commitment to quality. My cabinets were needing to be rebuilt, all drywall at the kitchen peninsula was replaced, textured, painted and caulked better than it had been previously when the home was new.
I highly recommend their services. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction make them the best choice for home remediation needs.

We hired Dwyer to do a full kitchen remodel after consulting with a number of local remodel and restoration companies. Their bid was comprehensive and detailed (almost a little overwhelming). They were quick to answer questions and turn the bid back around with adjustments.
The trade workers were competent and always polite. There were a few bumps as I would have expected with any major project. Dwyer responded to each concern in a timely and fair manner. In the end we were very happy with the result and would be willing to use them again.
Some details about the project:
* removed a load-bearing column and replaced with a LVL span. This required adjusting plumbing, electrical and HVAC around the area, as well as working with the city and a structural engineer for approval.
* replaced 4' fluorescent bulb lighting with recessed LEDs.
* custom cabinets (amazing work on this!) and new counters. This included converting the kitchen island into a peninsula.
* rebuild pantry with a slightly different footprint to better utilize space.
The majority of the work was done over about 60 days, with touch-ups and adjustments going on about a month longer.

My neighbor ran his car through my house in December 2019. The entire left side of my house was a huge hole and destroyed. Dwyer Restoration was recommended as the "disaster specialists". I am SO GLAD I hired them out of the 7 others I had come out to give me bids. They were the absolute BEST in the business to work with. I found them to be exceptional in 3 areas specifically:
1. Communication
2. Professionalism
3. Cleanliness
There will always be bumps along the way with ANY restoration/renovation. The key is, to work with people that DO THE RIGHT THING. Dwyer ALWAYS came through no matter what and did the right thing. They handled every detail of my renovation as if it was their house and what they would want done.
Dan Dwyer held my hand throughout the entire insurance process daily and we were able to get things agreed upon due to this.
Mark Brown was my project manager and did a phenomenal job with scheduling and being there every time I called. He was a pleasure to work with and made everything seem so seamless.
Guido Krumm was the German Carpenter that did most of the work on my house. He was also a pleasure to work with. I fell blessed to have had such a knowledgeable and trustworthy person doing the work on my house.
I will ONLY hire Dwyer Restoration in the future for all of my renovation needs. I HIGHLY recommend them for your next project or disaster.
