Rebuilding After the Blaze: The Homestar Group's Success Story
Oct 18, 2023

Fire damage is one of the most devastating things that can happen to a home. Not only is the damage itself costly to repair, but the emotional toll it takes on a family can be immeasurable. When a fire strikes, it's important to have a plan in place for how you will deal with the aftermath. This is where The Homestar Group comes in. The following post highlights one of our clients who recently experienced a fire and how we were able to help them through our fire damage restoration services in Atlanta.

Project Challenge

A fire can cause extensive damage to a home, leaving soot, smoke, and water in its wake. Which is the case of our client in Atlanta. As you can see from the photos, the fire caused significant damage to the ceiling of the kitchen which spread to the bathroom and part of the living room. In addition to the obvious cosmetic damage, there was also structural damage and soot damage that needed to be addressed.

Project Solution

Our first priority when we receive a call about fire damage is always safety. We make sure that the site is safe to enter and that all necessary precautions are taken to protect our workers and your home. Once the site is deemed safe, we begin the process of assessing the damage and developing a plan for fire damage restoration.


Because the fire started in the kitchen, it caused a lot of soot and smoke damage throughout the house. Our team went through and cleaned all surfaces, removing soot and smoke residue. We also had to replace some of the damaged ceiling as it was not structurally sound.


In addition to the fire and smoke damage repair, we also had to address the water damage that resulted from the extinguishing of the fire. We did this by setting up dehumidifiers and fans to dry out the affected areas and prevent further damage.

The Result

The end result was a home that looked and felt like new again. Our client was extremely pleased with the quality work we did and was appreciative of our efforts to salvage as many of their personal belongings as possible. They also said that we will be there to go to the company for any future restoration needs.
