AfterTrusted Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration for New Rochelle Homeowners
Fire damage restoration in New Rochelle typically costs between $3,200 and $12,500 for a full cleanup and repair, with smoke and soot removal alone running $800 to $2,400, and most emergency board-up and mitigation started within hours of your call. Floodline Restoration Co. has answered calls from New Rochelle homeowners for over 42 years, offering 24 Hour Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in New Rochelle, NY with background-checked, IICRC-certified technicians dispatched the same day for a square deal that includes a written scope before any work begins. If you need help right now, call (845) 456-6568 and a live person picks up, not a recording.
We know what it looks like when a kitchen fire leaves the cabinets standing but the walls carrying the story. Smoke and soot spread faster than flame, working into drywall, ducts, clothing, and the spaces behind trim. Our crews start at the first visible line of damage and work outward until the air tests clean and the structure reads dry, then rebuild what the fire took. We don’t hand the job off. The same Floodline Restoration Co. crew that extracts the standing water from the fire department’s hoses is the crew that sands the repaired drywall and paints the final coat.
Every Best Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in New Rochelle, NY job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, known inside the company as the Keystone Standard. It’s in writing. No arguing, no paperwork battles. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
What Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Service Includes
Fire Damage Cleanup
Fire damage cleanup is the first pass after the trucks leave: removing charred building material, waterlogged drywall, ruined insulation, and any contents too far gone to save. In New Rochelle homes, we regularly find that the fire itself damaged less than the water and heat did. Floodline Restoration Co. sends a certified crew to cut out saturated drywall, bag debris, and lay down drying equipment the same visit, so the secondary damage stops while we assess the full scope.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Smoke and soot removal is a chemical and mechanical process, not a coat of paint. Soot is acidic and etches glass, tarnishes metal, and seeps into porous surfaces within hours. Our technicians in New Rochelle use air scrubbers, dry sponges, HEPA vacuums, and degreasers rated for protein, oil, and synthetic fire residues, and we clean surfaces before sealing them so odor doesn’t bleed back through the paint.
Odor Removal & Deodorization
Odor removal gets the smell that soot and smoke leave deep in framing, ductwork, and textiles. We don’t mask it with fragrance. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators, matched to the material, so the smoke odor is neutralized rather than covered over. In New Rochelle’s older colonials and capes, we pay special attention to lath-and-plaster walls, which hold smoke differently than modern sheetrock and need a longer dwell time.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Contents cleaning and pack-out is the quiet half of a fire job: the clothes, dishes, books, and furniture that are salvageable but need to be cleaned, deodorized, and stored while the structure is repaired. Floodline Restoration Co. documents every item with photos, packs it into inventoried boxes, and runs soft goods through an ozone chamber or ultrasonic cleaning when needed. We’ll hand you a list of what left your New Rochelle home, what it needs, and what it costs before we move a single box.
Emergency Board-Up & Tarping
Emergency board-up and tarping secures a house the moment the fire department releases the scene, often before dawn or in the middle of a New Rochelle winter storm. We board broken windows, tarp damaged roofs, and lock open doors so weather, animals, and unauthorized entry stay out. A live person answers at (845) 456-6568 any hour, and a crew is dispatched from our local yard to secure the property fast.
Structural Fire Repair
Structural fire repair covers everything from sistering scorched joists to reframing a burned roof section to replacing the drywall, trim, flooring, and finishes a fire took out. We don’t leave you with a gutted shell and a list of subcontractors. Floodline Restoration Co. pulls permits, frames the repair, and finishes the project with the same certified crew that ran the mitigation, so your New Rochelle home comes back whole and the work holds up.

Brands We Service for Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
We run professional-grade equipment from the brands that restoration contractors actually use on real jobs. Our drying floors carry Dri-Eaz and Phoenix units, and we use XPOWER air movers and B-Air scrubbers on smoke and odor work in New Rochelle homes. We’ve run these machines through hundreds of fire and water jobs, and our technicians know their airflow patterns, filter schedules, and failure points well enough to read a moisture map correctly the first time.
For hard-to-reach cavities like wall interiors and under hardwood, we deploy Injectidry systems rather than hoping surface drying gets it all. Whether your home’s fire restoration requires Injectidry, Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, B-Air, or any combination, our certified technicians match the tool to the damage and log readings daily. The brand matters less than knowing how to use it, and we know how to use them.
Signs You Need Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Right Now
- Visible soot on walls, ceilings, or around vents. Soot isn’t just a stain. It’s acidic and will etch glass, corrode metal fixtures, and permanently yellow painted surfaces within days. Even a small kitchen fire can push soot through an entire floor of a New Rochelle house.
- Smoke odor that lingers more than a day or two. If you can still smell smoke after the windows have been open and the burnt material removed, it’s in the walls, ducts, or insulation. Ozone and thermal fogging can fix it, but the treatment needs to happen before you repaint or the odor comes back.
- Yellowing or staining on walls, ceilings, or plastic surfaces within weeks. That yellowing is smoke residue reactivating with humidity. It tells you the original cleanup missed pressurized smoke that traveled inside wall cavities. We find this regularly in New Rochelle homes where the fire was in one room but the smoke chased the wiring out to the hallway.
- Soot or discoloration around air registers or the HVAC system. When smoke gets pulled into the ductwork, it spreads to every room the system serves. Running the heat or AC without cleaning the ducts puts soot back into rooms that were already cleaned. The blower, coils, and ducts need professional cleaning and deodorization.
- Water damage from the fire department’s hoses. The water that puts out a fire satellites through ceilings, walls, and floors below the burn site. If it isn’t extracted and dried with professional equipment, mold starts growing within 48 to 72 hours. Fire jobs are always water jobs too.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a live dispatcher. You call (845) 456-6568. A person at our New Rochelle dispatch desk answers, even at 2 a.m. We listen, ask the right questions, and dispatch a certified crew to the address. No automated phone tree, no “leave a message.”
- 2
Assessment and written scope. The crew walks the property, identifies fire, smoke, water, and structural damage, and uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to find what the eye misses. Before any work starts, you get a written scope and price. No work happens on a handshake.
- 3
Mitigation and securing the structure. We board up openings, tarp the roof if needed, cut out waterlogged drywall and insulation, and set professional drying equipment. Air scrubbers and HEPA filtration go in to start pulling soot and odor out of the air. This typically starts the same visit.
- 4
Cleaning, deodorization, and contents handling. We clean salvageable surfaces, treat smoke odor with thermal fogging or hydroxyl generators, send contents out for cleaning and storage if needed, and document everything with photos for your insurance carrier. A moisture log and photo file go to you and your adjuster.
- 5
Structural repair and final inspection. We rebuild what the fire damaged: framing, drywall, flooring, paint, trim. The same crew reads the final moisture numbers, walks the job with you, and hands you the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. We stand behind it.
How Much Does Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Cost in New Rochelle?
A typical full fire and smoke damage restoration in New Rochelle runs between $3,200 and $12,500, depending on the size of the burn, how far smoke traveled, and how much water the fire department added. Here’s what we see most often in Westchester County homes:
- Smoke and soot removal only: $800-$2,400 for a contained kitchen or bedroom fire with no structural damage.
- Contents cleaning and pack-out: $1,500-$5,000 depending on volume, with ultrasonic cleaning for hard goods and ozone treatment for soft goods.
- Emergency board-up and tarping: $400-$1,200 on its own, typically bundled into the full restoration.
- Structural fire repair: $5,000-$40,000+ when framing, roofing, or entire rooms need rebuilding. This is scoped like a remodel, priced in writing, and scheduled.
What changes the price is square footage, the type of smoke (protein fires from the kitchen are stickier, synthetic fires are more toxic), and how long the soot sat before cleaning. Homes in New Rochelle’s older stock sometimes carry hidden surprises: knob-and-tube wiring, plaster walls that hold odor longer, and dimensional lumber that’s harder to match. A free estimate from Floodline Restoration Co. gives you a written number based on the actual property, not a guess over the phone, and our estimates are free and no-obligation.
