Every repair that requires a permit gets one, and gets inspected, before we consider it complete.
Framing gets evaluated for strength loss, not just visible char, before any repair decision is made.
Trim, paint, and flooring repairs are matched to your home's existing materials wherever possible.
You approve an itemized, written estimate before any framing or drywall comes down.
A question we hear often in Shafer is whether a general contractor can handle fire repair the same way they'd handle a standard renovation, and the honest answer is that fire repair carries structural and code considerations a typical remodel doesn't.
A general remodeling contractor isn't necessarily trained to evaluate heat damage to framing, which is a gap that matters more than it might seem.
That's part of why Shafer, MN building departments increasingly ask for fire-specific documentation on permit applications involving structural repair, and having that documentation ready from day one keeps the Fire Damage Repair project moving instead of stalling at the permit office.
We keep relationships with local Shafer building inspectors' offices to help schedule required inspections without the typical multi-week wait.
We reinforce or replace framing members based on measured structural loss, following standard sistering techniques where repair is possible.
Replacement drywall and insulation go in at proper code specifications, not just a like-for-like patch.
Fire-damaged circuits get replaced under permit, sometimes bringing older wiring up to current code in the process.
Roof decking and rafters affected by fire or firefighting access get repaired or replaced to restore structural integrity.
Subfloor repair happens first, since finish flooring installed over compromised subfloor won't hold up.
Calling +1-866-484-1409 connects you with someone who can talk through the repair scope before a crew even arrives.
