Why Jonesborough 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. Jonesborough is a short drive from our Johnson City base, so 60 minutes is the normal arrival. Getting there fast matters, because soot is acidic and starts working on metal and glass within hours.
Free estimates, and nothing to sign for one
We come out, walk the property with you, and charge nothing for that visit. You sign nothing to get it. On a fire we read how far the smoke moved, room by room, and you get the worst case first with a not-to-exceed number.
We work for you, not your insurance carrier
You hire us, so we answer to you, and the choice of contractor is always yours. If you hear that a preferred vendor is your only option, you can still choose us. We recommend the work your property needs, and you approve that scope before a crew starts.
A named person owns your job
One person from our team runs your job from the first call to the last day, and you get their name. They know the scope, the schedule and what happened yesterday. They walk the scope with you, set the schedule around your days, and tell you when something changes.
IICRC certified, licensed and insured in Tennessee
Our firm is IICRC certified, and we are licensed and insured right here in Tennessee. Our crews work to the IICRC standard on every fire job. The file we write follows the same standard, so it reads the same to anyone who checks it.
Our fire damage restoration process in Jonesborough, TN
Step 1. You call and reach a person
Call at any hour and a person picks up. We ask what happened, whether the fire department has released the building, and who is still inside. Then we tell you what to do while a crew drives over. Sixty minutes is the normal arrival at a Jonesborough address. Wait before you wipe anything, because the first wipe can set soot into a surface for good.
Step 2. Securing the building
A fire leaves a building open, so we board up windows and doors and tarp anything open to the sky. That keeps the weather out and keeps the property closed. This step also handles the water that went on the fire. Jonesborough keeps paid fire staff on duty around the clock, and its police officers are cross-trained firefighters who carry gear in their vehicles. Water goes on a fire here early, so most fire jobs in town are wet jobs too. Extraction and drying start while we are still scoping the soot.
Step 3. A free estimate, walked with you
We walk the property with you before any work starts, and the visit is free with nothing to sign. Room by room we map how far the smoke moved past the part that burned. We also split what belongs to the building from what belongs to your things. You see the worst case first, with a not-to-exceed number.
Step 4. Soot removal, cleaning and odor
Soot comes off differently depending on what burned and where it landed, so the method changes room to room and surface to surface. We remove the residue rather than paint over it, because paint leaves it in place. Your contents run on their own track. Odor comes last, once the source material is gone.
Step 5. Your invoice and the timeline
Billing comes after the work is finished, and we bill time and materials against the IICRC standard, priced from a current Xactimate list. Every line names the room it covers, the work we did there and the hours it took. The file goes with the invoice: 360 room scans, daily logs, photos and video. You get all of it, and you keep it. We tell you the timeline up front and update it as the drying and cleaning move along.

Jonesborough fire damage questions we answer most
The ones we get on almost every job.
How soon can you get to a Jonesborough address?
A person answers our phone at every hour of every day. Sixty minutes is the normal arrival time at a Jonesborough address, because we are based in Johnson City. Soot is acidic, and it keeps working on metal, glass, appliance finishes and grout after the fire is out. Hose water soaks into the subfloor the whole time. Call early, even before you have decided how serious it is.
What causes most house fires in Jonesborough?
The same things that cause them anywhere, and cooking starts the most, all year round. Heating equipment and space heaters add to the count in the cold months. Electrical faults, wiring and appliances run behind those. What changes in Jonesborough is where the smoke goes next. Main Street burned three times in three decades in the late 1800s. The New Year's Eve fire of 1873 took much of West Main. After the 1887 fire the town raised money and bought a locally built ladder truck and a hand engine in 1888. The historic district standing today is largely that rebuild, brick buildings sitting shoulder to shoulder on shared walls. Floor and attic cavities run between them. Warm smoke moves sideways and up first, so a fire in one storefront leaves residue next door. If your building is attached to one that burned, have your side looked at.
How much does fire damage restoration cost in Jonesborough?
It depends on how far the smoke travelled, and that is what the estimate is for. We walk the property with you at no charge and map the spread room by room. Then we price the work against the IICRC standard, from a current Xactimate list. You get the worst case up front, with a not-to-exceed number, so the ceiling is set before we start. Structure and contents are priced as two separate scopes, because they are two different jobs. Every line on the final invoice traces back to work you can see in the file.
Do you bill insurance directly for a Jonesborough fire loss?
Yes, and where there is a claim we invoice your carrier and ask them to pay us directly. You get the same invoice, so you can read every line of it yourself. We talk to your adjuster and to any other trade on the property, which keeps information moving between the people who need it. Filing the claim is yours to do, because the policy is in your name. Your adjuster and your carrier decide what the policy covers.
Do you work on rentals and commercial property in Jonesborough?
We do, and rentals, storefronts, small commercial spaces and apartment buildings are normal work for us. On a rental we usually talk with both the tenant and the owner, and the invoice follows whoever hired us. On an attached building downtown we like to look at the neighboring units too, because that is where surprises turn up. Tell us on the call who owns the building and who is on site. We sort the rest out when we arrive.
