Fire Restoration Service Built Around You in St. Louis
The calls we get a week or two after a fire sound a lot alike. One crew boarded up and left, another is waiting on the electrician, and the adjuster is asking for paperwork no one has produced. The trouble is rarely the work. It is the coordination.
A full restoration service solves that by putting one company in charge of the entire loss. One project manager handles mitigation, cleaning, contents, rebuild and the paperwork that ties it together. You get a schedule, regular updates and a person who answers the phone.
Re Fire Me is a free referral service, not the contractor. We connect St. Louis callers with independent, licensed and insured restoration companies that offer full-service project management. Confirm license, insurance and warranty terms directly with the contractor before work begins.
What full service should cover
- One project manager from day one to the final walkthrough
- A written schedule with milestone dates
- Regular progress updates with photos
- Direct coordination with your adjuster
- Contents pack-out, storage and return
Why Choose Our Specialized Fire Damage Restoration Service in St. Louis, MO
Full service is about accountability. These are the things the independent contractors we connect you with in St. Louis are set up to provide.
Licensed & insured, one company in charge
The contractor is an independent, licensed and insured company that takes responsibility for every trade it brings in. It is fair to ask how subs are vetted and whether they carry their own insurance.
Upfront, flat-rate line items
Scope and pricing are written before major work begins, with each phase broken out. Change orders are written and approved by you before extra work happens.
Rapid local dispatch & scheduling
Crews based near St. Louis can start mitigation fast and keep trades moving without long gaps. The dispatcher will tell you honestly when a contractor can be there.
Project management tools
Many full-service restorers use job-tracking software, photo logs, moisture logs and Xactimate estimating, so you and your adjuster see the same information.
Fire Damage Restoration Service Packages in St. Louis
These are the parts of a fire loss that a full-service restorer typically manages for you.
Dedicated Project Management
A single project manager runs the schedule, crews, materials and every update you receive. You know who to call and what is happening this week.
Adjuster Meetings & Documentation
The contractor meets your adjuster on site, walks the loss and submits line-item estimates with photos. Supplements for hidden damage found during demo are documented and sent promptly.
Pack-Out, Storage & Return
Your belongings get inventoried, packed, cleaned off site and held in secure storage until the house is ready. That inventory also serves as your contents claim documentation.
Temporary Housing Coordination
Plenty of restorers coordinate with temporary housing companies and provide the timeline your carrier needs for ALE.
Mitigation Through Final Finishes
Mitigation, cleaning, deodorization and reconstruction stay under one contract, so nobody points at the previous company. Permits and inspections are scheduled as part of the plan.
What Good Communication Looks Like on a Restoration Job
The single biggest complaint we hear about restoration jobs is not quality. It is silence. Crews show up some days and not others, nobody explains why, and homeowners end up calling around trying to piece together what is happening.
A properly run restoration service fixes that with structure. Expect a kickoff meeting where the project manager walks you through the scope and schedule, a set update rhythm such as a weekly call or written report with photos, and clear notice when something changes. Delays on materials, inspection dates and supplement decisions should be shared as soon as they are known.
Before signing, ask the contractor to describe their communication process in detail. How often will you hear from them? Who covers when the project manager is off? Is there a portal or shared photo log? Companies that do this well answer quickly and specifically.
Situations Where Full Service Makes the Difference
Families living out of a hotel
When the home is not livable, every week of delay means another week of Additional Living Expenses and disruption. A full-service project manager keeps trades moving back to back and supplies the timeline your carrier needs to extend temporary housing.
Owners who work full time
Most people cannot spend their days meeting crews, chasing permits and calling the adjuster. A single project manager handles that coordination and sends you a short update you can read at the end of the day.
Rental and investment properties
Landlords juggling tenants, lost rent and the owner policy benefit from one company handling mitigation through rebuild, with documentation for the claim and a firm schedule for getting the unit back on the market.
Losses with hidden damage
Large fires almost always reveal more once demo starts. A full-service company documents the new damage, writes the supplement and keeps the job moving instead of stopping work while separate contractors argue about who handles it.

St. Louis Callers on Their Restoration Service
Three companies were working our kitchen fire and none of them were talking. I called the line and got connected with a full-service restorer who took over everything. Weekly updates, one phone number, done in nine weeks.

The project manager met our adjuster twice and handled a supplement when they found charred joists behind the wall. I never had to chase anyone.
Victor L.Homeowner, St. Louis
They packed out our whole second floor, stored everything and brought it back cleaned when the rebuild was finished. The inventory list made our contents claim simple.

Fire Damage Restoration Service Questions
What does a full fire damage restoration service include?
It usually covers mitigation, cleaning, odor removal, contents handling, drying, rebuild and claim documentation under one company. Ask the contractor to list exactly what is and is not included.
Will I have one point of contact the whole time?
With a full-service restoration company, you should. Before signing, ask who the project manager is and how often they will update you.
Can the restoration service work directly with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. Most full-service restorers meet adjusters on site, submit estimates and file supplements for hidden damage. You stay in control of the claim and approve the scope.
How are change orders handled during the restoration?
Hidden damage often shows up during demolition. The contractor should photograph it, write a change order and get approval from you and the adjuster before continuing.
Is Re Fire Me the restoration service provider?
No, we are a free referral service. We connect you with independent, licensed and insured restoration companies that perform the work and are responsible for it.
How long does a full-service fire restoration usually take?
Smoke-only jobs can finish in a few weeks, while losses that need reconstruction often take two to six months. Ask for a written schedule with milestones, updated as the job moves.
