Complete Kitchen Fire Damage Cleanup & Remodel
From grease fire cleanup and range hood soot removal to cabinet refinishing, appliance recovery, molecular odor elimination, and full kitchen remodel coordination, every kitchen fire scenario handled across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts by IICRC FSRT certified crews.
Grease Fire Cleanup
Grease fires spray an oily, carbonized residue that bonds to every surface within 72 hours and smears the moment a household cleaner touches it. Our IICRC FSRT protocol removes grease-fire residue chemically, not mechanically, so cabinet finishes, stone, and stainless are preserved instead of stripped.
Chemical removal · Finish-preserving
Range Hood And Exhaust Soot Removal
Range hood filters, exhaust ducts, and rooftop fan housings hold more grease load than any other kitchen surface. Hood disassembly, commercial-grade degreasing, duct scoping, and fire-code-aligned cleaning documentation is issued for owner-occupants and restaurant carriers alike.
Duct scoped · Code-aligned docs
Cabinet Face And Interior Cleaning
Cabinet exteriors, interior boxes, shelves, and hardware cleaned with solvent systems scoped to the finish. Painted cabinets, stained wood, thermofoil, and MDF all respond differently to soot, and the wrong cleaner ruins the finish. We test a hidden panel first on every job.

Additional Kitchen Fire Damage Services
Appliance Smoke Recovery
Refrigerators, ranges, microwaves, and dishwashers evaluated for smoke and soot contamination. Interiors cleaned, electronics control boards inspected, and spoiled contents inventoried for the carrier. Salvageable units are returned, total-loss units are documented with photo and model.
Countertop And Backsplash Restoration
Quartz, granite, marble, solid surface, and ceramic backsplash surfaces cleaned with stone-safe soot removers. Sealer reapplied where original finish is compromised, grout lines scrubbed to match clean adjacent runs, and silicone reseals checked before closeout.
Kitchen Floor Soot Remediation
Tile, luxury vinyl, engineered hardwood, and stone floors cleaned with chemistry matched to each substrate. Grout lines treated, cupped hardwood documented for carrier replacement scope, and subfloor moisture checked when firefighting water was used during suppression.
HVAC Cross-Contamination Cleaning
Kitchen fires push smoke and grease particulate into the return air pathway, then circulate through the rest of the home. Supply and return ducts are isolated, coil and blower cleaned, and the system is tested before any other room is opened to occupancy.
Odor Elimination (Ozone + Hydroxyl)
Ozone chambers for unoccupied spaces and hydroxyl generators for occupied spaces neutralize embedded smoke and grease odor at the molecular level. Masking sprays are banned on every job. Odor is treated, not covered, and the home is re-tested before occupancy returns.
Full Kitchen Remodel Coordination
When scope crosses the threshold from clean-and-restore into tear-out and rebuild, one licensed contractor team handles cabinetry, countertops, flooring, electrical, and paint through completion. Permits pulled, insurance scope aligned, and the homeowner gets one point of contact.

What Untreated Fire Damage Costs Your Home
Most homeowners don't realize fire damage keeps spreading after the flames are out. Soot bonds chemically, smoke embeds in structure, and firefighting water creates mold risk within 48 hours. Across the tri-state's older housing stock, every hour of delay multiplies restoration costs.
Soot Bonds Within 72 Hours
Permanent Staining Sets Fast
Acidic soot residue bonds chemically to paint, metal, fabric, and finishes within hours. After 72 hours, affected surfaces often require replacement, not cleaning. Every hour of delay multiplies the scope.
Smoke Embeds In Structure
Odor Saturates Framing & Drywall
Smoke penetrates drywall, insulation, subfloor, and framing at the molecular level. Surface cleaning alone leaves embedded odor that resurfaces months later. Complete deodorization requires professional equipment.
Firefighting Water Damage
Hundreds Of Gallons In Walls & Floor
Fire suppression dumps hundreds of gallons into the home. Water-saturated framing, subfloor, and insulation create mold risk within 48 hours if not extracted and dried professionally.
Hidden Damage In Attic & Walls
Fire Travels Where You Can't See
Flames and heat move through wall cavities, attic spaces, and HVAC ducts. Damage often extends far beyond the visible burn area. Thermal imaging is the only way to map full scope.
Toxic Residue & Health Risks
Carcinogenic Particulates In Air
Modern homes contain plastics, electronics, and synthetic materials. Combustion creates hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, and carcinogenic particulates that linger in dust and HVAC until professionally remediated.
Structural Compromise From Heat
Framing & Electrical May Be Unsafe
High heat weakens structural framing, damages wiring insulation, and compromises drywall even in areas without visible burn. A licensed contractor must assess before any reoccupation.
Why Tri-State Properties Need Professional Fire Damage Restoration
New England's older housing stock, harsh winters, and coastal weather create unique fire recovery challenges from Long Island Sound to the Berkshires, challenges that require local expertise and rapid response from crews who work these homes every week.
24/7 Emergency Fire Response Across The Tri-State
Fire doesn't wait for business hours. Our team answers calls 24/7 and dispatches a board-up crew from the nearest office across Connecticut, Westchester, NYC, and Western Mass. Crews reach most homes within 60 minutes, day or night, so soot containment and roof tarping begin before wind and weather widen the loss.
Serving CT, NY & Western Mass
Physical offices in Fairfield County, Orange, New Haven, Stratford, Westchester, and Queens anchor our response, with dedicated crews covering Greenwich, Westport, Hamden, and Western Massachusetts. One call reaches the right local team, with the right equipment staged nearby, so no matter where the fire happens you get a board-up truck on-site in under an hour.
Older Housing Stock & Plaster Walls
Most of New England's housing predates 1970, with balloon framing, horsehair plaster, knob-and-tube wiring, and tight attic cavities. Fire and smoke travel differently through these structures. We've restored 1890s Victorians in New Haven, 1920s Cape Cods on Long Island, and 1880s mill houses in Western Mass where heat had compromised framing two rooms away from the origin.
Full-Service Restoration, Start To Finish
A fire loss involves boarding, water extraction, soot cleaning, odor removal, structural demo, electrical, drywall, and paint. Most homeowners end up juggling five contractors across three states. We handle every phase under one roof, with one point of contact, one licensed contractor of record, and one direct insurance bill regardless of which tri-state office is dispatched.

What To Do Immediately After A Fire
The first 48 hours after a fire determine whether contents and structure can be saved. Follow these steps while waiting for our IICRC-certified crew to arrive, typically within 60 minutes anywhere across CT, NY, or Western Mass.
What To Do Immediately
Stay out of the structure until the fire department clears it for re-entry. Even small fires leave carbon monoxide, structural weakness, and toxic residue behind.
File your claim within 24 hours. Most policies cover emergency board-up, temporary lodging, and content cleaning when reported promptly.
Take timestamped photos and video of all visible damage before any cleanup. Your adjuster will require this to process the claim and approve scope.
Get a board-up crew on-site within 60 minutes from the nearest office to secure openings, tarp the roof, and prevent weather or theft from adding secondary damage to your loss.
Once the fire department authorizes entry, grab medications, ID, passports, and critical documents. Do not attempt to salvage damaged contents, professional cleaning is often possible.
Start a written inventory of damaged contents for your adjuster. Include make, model, and approximate purchase date wherever possible.
What NOT To Do
Structural framing, ceilings, and floors may be compromised. Carbon monoxide and toxic combustion byproducts can linger for hours after flames are out.
Damaged wiring can reignite fire. HVAC operation circulates soot and toxic particulates through undamaged areas of the home.
DIY cleaning smears soot into surfaces, bonds residue permanently, and voids most insurance coverage for content restoration. Specialized cleaning chemistry is required.
Smoke, soot, and extreme heat contaminate food, canned goods, and sealed containers. Toxic residue can penetrate packaging.
Fire and smoke damage internal components. Powering them on often causes permanent damage that could have been prevented with professional cleaning.
Be cautious of storm-chasing contractors who arrive unannounced at fire scenes. Always verify licensing, insurance, and local credentials before signing anything.

Kitchen Fire Damage FAQs
Clear answers about grease fires, cabinet and appliance salvage, odor removal, insurance coverage, and full-gut versus clean scope across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.
Yes, significantly. Grease fires produce an oily, carbonized residue that bonds chemically to surfaces within 72 hours and smears aggressively the moment a standard household cleaner touches it. Paper and wood fires leave a dry, flaky soot that responds to different chemistry. Our IICRC FSRT crews identify the fire type on arrival and match the cleaning chemistry to the residue, so finishes are preserved instead of stripped.
In most cases, yes. Painted cabinets, stained wood, thermofoil, and MDF each respond to soot differently and to different solvents. We test a hidden panel first on every job to confirm the finish will survive the cleaning protocol. Cabinets with direct flame damage, deep warping from heat, or destroyed finishes are documented for insurance replacement scope, but the majority of soot-exposed cabinetry is recoverable.
Refrigerators, ranges, microwaves, and dishwashers are evaluated individually. Interiors are cleaned, electronic control boards inspected for soot contamination, and spoiled contents inventoried for the carrier. Units with damaged control boards, compressor contamination, or compromised insulation are documented as total loss with model and serial for the claim. Most appliances exposed to smoke only, without direct heat damage, return to service after professional cleaning.
Odor timing depends on scope, not square footage. A contained stovetop grease fire usually clears in 3 to 5 days of combined ozone and hydroxyl treatment. Whole-kitchen fires with HVAC cross-contamination run 7 to 14 days. Treatment is confirmed with a re-test, not a nose-check, and the home is cleared for occupancy only after the air reads clean. Masking sprays are banned on every job.
For contained stovetop or appliance fires with no structural damage, most kitchens are back in service within 7 to 14 days after cleaning, sealing, and odor clearance. Kitchens with cabinet replacement, countertop work, or floor replacement run 3 to 8 weeks depending on material lead times and permit scope. Your crew chief gives a written reopening timeline after the initial walkthrough, not a ballpark.
