The Challenge: A Grease Fire Affecting the Whole Home

In Roy, Utah, we faced a homeowner's worst nightmare: a kitchen devastated by a grease fire and a home engulfed in smoke. The cause of the fire was a grease fire during cooking, a common yet hazardous incident. The aftermath was overwhelming: the kitchen was severely damaged, and the entire house was filled with smoke. The homeowner initially thought the cleanup would be manageable. However, weeks of effort revealed persistent smoke residue and ash in carpets, rugs, furniture, cabinets, and more. Realizing the magnitude of the damage, the homeowner turned to us for professional kitchen remodeling help.

Our Approach: Fire and Smoke Cleanup with a Kitchen Remodel

1. Initial Assessment and Planning: We started with a thorough assessment of the damage. This step was crucial to understand the extent of the damage and to devise a comprehensive restoration and remodeling plan.
2. Smoke Damage Cleanup: Our team tackled the pervasive smoke damage throughout the house. We used specialized equipment and techniques to meticulously clean and remove smoke residue from all affected areas, including carpets, rugs, and furniture.
3. Structural Assessment: We evaluated the structural integrity of the kitchen. Unfortunately, most of the building materials were beyond repair and needed replacement.
4. Demolition and Removal: We safely demolished the damaged structures and removed debris, ensuring a clean slate for the remodeling process.
5. Kitchen Remodeling: With the kitchen stripped down, we embarked on a complete remodel. This phase included installing new cabinets, countertops, and modern appliances, transforming the space into a functional and aesthetically pleasing kitchen.
6. Final Touches and Clean-Up: Our focus on detail ensured that every corner of the home was cleaned, leaving the house in pristine condition.
