Why Gray calls us for fire damage restoration
We arrive within 60 minutes
A person answers our phone at every hour of the day and night, holidays included.
Gray is a short run up Highway 75 from our base in Johnson City. Sixty minutes is our normal arrival.
Speed matters with a fire, because smoke keeps moving through the house while it waits and soot keeps setting into surfaces.
Free estimates, and nothing to sign for one
We come out, walk the house with you, and charge nothing for that visit.
You sign nothing to get it, and the estimate is yours to keep either way.
First we open the return ducts and check the rooms beyond the burn. Then you get the worst case up front and a not-to-exceed number.
We work for you, not your insurance carrier
When you hire us you are the customer, and we answer to you.
You file the claim yourself, because the policy is yours. Your carrier and your adjuster decide what it covers.
We share our documentation with your adjuster and with any other trade on the job. You stay free to pick the contractor you want.
A named person owns your job
One person from our team runs your job, from the first call to the last day.
You get their name, and when you call them with a question you get an answer.
They hold the scope, the daily readings and the next step. The same person is there at the end.
IICRC certified, licensed and insured in Tennessee
Conrad's is IICRC certified, which is the trade body that sets the standard for fire and water restoration.
We carry a Tennessee license and Tennessee insurance on every job we run.
Our crews work to the IICRC standard on every job. You get a written scope you can read line by line.
Our fire damage restoration process in Gray, TN
Step 1. You call and reach a person
Call at any hour and a person picks up. We ask what happened and whether the fire department has released the building.
We tell you what to leave alone while a crew is on the road, then we dispatch.
Sixty minutes is normal for a Gray address.
Step 2. Securing the building
The first job on site is closing the building up. We board up broken windows and doors, and we tarp an open roof.
Then the standing water comes off the floors, because fire hoses put a lot of water into a house.
Boarding up keeps rain and wind out. It also keeps people from walking into an open house.
Step 3. A free estimate, walked with you
We walk the whole property with you before any work starts. It costs nothing and you sign nothing for it.
We follow the smoke rather than the fire. That means the duct runs, the wall cavities and the rooms past the burn.
You get the worst case up front and a not-to-exceed number.
Step 4. Soot removal, cleaning and odor
Containment goes up so the clean side of the house stays clean. Every air mover, HEPA scrubber and dehumidifier is decontaminated before it enters your home.
Soot comes off by method, because a painted wall, a stone hearth and a stainless range each want a different one.
Material that has to come out gets explained to you first. Odor work comes last, once the residue making the smell is gone.
Step 5. Your invoice and your timeline
We bill after the work is finished, on time and materials against the IICRC standard, priced from a current Xactimate list.
You get 360-degree room scans, photos, video and daily moisture logs where we are drying.
One smoke-damaged room can run a few days. A whole house takes longer, and we give you that timeline once we have walked it.

Gray fire damage questions we answer most
The ones we get on almost every job.
How soon can you get to a Gray address?
A person answers our phone at every hour of every day. Sixty minutes is our normal arrival in Gray. We are based in Johnson City, a short run down Highway 75. We start as soon as the fire department releases the building back to you. Speed matters more with a fire than most people expect. Soot is acidic, so the longer it sits on metal, grout and finished surfaces, the more of it sets for good. Call us early, before you have decided how bad it is.
What causes most house fires in Gray?
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires here, the same as everywhere else, followed by heating equipment, electrical faults and garage fires. What changes from town to town is how the house handles it. Gray was farmland until the 1990s, and most of the town went up in subdivisions after that. A newer house is tight, with an open plan and central ducted heat and air. Smoke from a kitchen or garage fire gets a clear path into every room and closet. Modern furnishings are largely synthetic, so the residue is heavier and greasier than what old wood and cotton left. The farmhouses and brick ranches around Gray are their own case, with plaster, board sheathing and layered additions. We test the surfaces in your house rather than guess at them.
How much does fire damage restoration cost in Gray?
It depends on how far the smoke ran, and that is rarely clear on day one. Here is how we build the number. We bill time and materials against the IICRC standard, priced from a current Xactimate list. Xactimate is the standard price list for this trade, and it updates every month. We walk the house with you first, then give you the worst case up front and a not-to-exceed number. You see every line before the work starts. One smoke-damaged room and a whole-house fire are very different jobs, so we price yours after we have seen it.
Do you bill insurance directly for a Gray fire loss?
Yes. Where a claim is open, we invoice your carrier and ask them to pay us directly. You get the same invoice, line for line. We talk to your adjuster and to any other trade on the property, so information moves without you in the middle. You file the claim yourself, because the policy is yours. Your carrier and your adjuster decide what it covers. You also stay free to choose the contractor you want, whatever anyone tells you about preferred vendors.
Do you work on rentals and commercial property in Gray?
We do. Rentals, apartment buildings, shops and small commercial spaces are all normal work for us. On a rental we usually talk to both the tenant and the owner, and the invoice follows whoever hired us. A fire in one unit is rarely one unit's problem, because smoke moves through shared walls and shared duct runs. Tell us on the call how the building is put together. Tell us who owns it and who is on site, and we will handle the rest.
