Who We Are

A Licensed West Des Moines Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

We opened in the West Des Moines area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Because our crews work 50265 50266 50336 50339 50359 50360 50361 50362 50363 50364 50367 50368 50369 50398 regularly, they already understand which West Des Moines permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every West Des Moines scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs West Des Moines Homeowners Tend To Ignore

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

West Des Moines, IA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

None of these six signs get better with time. The West Des Moines properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Commercial Restoration

Phased scopes that let West Des Moines businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.
