Structural and electrical repairs are performed under proper permits and inspected per Knapp, WI code requirements.
Framing gets evaluated for strength loss, not just visible char, before any repair decision is made.

A question we hear often in Knapp 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.
Heat-compromised framing can look structurally sound while having lost a meaningful percentage of its load-bearing strength, which a contractor without fire-specific training might not know to test for.
That's part of why Knapp, WI 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 Knapp building inspectors' offices to help schedule required inspections without the typical multi-week wait.
