Can Fire Damage Be Repaired?

The answer is Yes. Fire damage repair can be done, but it is important to find the right Atlanta fire damage restoration professional like The Homestar Group. Our team is experienced and trained specifically for fire damage repair. We help homeowners and businesses in the Atlanta metropolitan area.


Fire damage repair is the process of restoring property damaged by a fire, taking into account structural changes to property since it was built or renovated. The #1 goal on any fire damage repair project is to rebuild your home or business so that it looks the same as before the fire happened.

Is Fire Damage Expensive To Repair?

The cost of repairing fire damage can be impacted by a number of different factors such as size of structure, extent of damage, amount of water damage from fire fighting and many other factors. The Homestar Group works with each of our clients to provide an upfront cost estimate to repair your fire damaged property. Our team has decades of experience with fire damage restoration in Atlanta, GA. We want to make sure that your property gets restored back to its original state after a devastating fire.

How Long Does It Take To Repair Fire Damage?

The fire damage repair process starts with the restoration team evaluating your property's condition. We provide you with an estimate after inspecting all of the walls, woodwork, windows, doors, and any other structures that were affected by the fire. It is essential to complete this step in order to determine the extent of your damages.


This is also when we determine if it is necessary to replace certain items. For example, if your roof sustained fire and water damage, we may need to replace or repair your roof with a new one. We do this because certain areas of the roof may not be safe to walk on or can even collapse under your weight.


After we determine a cost estimate to bring your home or business back to normal, this is where our team will begin the work of tearing out damaged drywall and woodwork, refinishing floors, replacing baseboards, putting up new drywall, painting the walls (if necessary), repairing windows and doors (if necessary) and any other repairs that may need to be done.

Project Type

On Christmas Eve, a local family was spending the evening at home when a fire started. Fire and smoke damage occurred in the living room and bedroom which The Homestar Group fire damage repair experts were called to handle the fire damage in the home. Fire damage can be a chaotic and destructive situation for a family to deal with. Fire damage, smoke damage and water damage from firefighting efforts all cause further damages that need to be assessed and attended too. Our Atlanta fire damage repair specialists work quickly to return the home back to pre-fire conditions as soon as possible.

Project Challenges

The challenges that The Homestar Group Fire Damage Repair team faced when taking care of this project were the heavy fire damage found in the living room and bedroom. Our fire damage repair professionals had to work quickly before mold could start growing in these areas due to humidity levels increasing. Fire damage also brought a lot of dirt throughout the home, especially in the living room and bedroom which needed to be attended to.


The fire damage repair process was very lengthy because of how intense the living room and bedroom were burnt from the fire. The living room had damage all around the walls due to the smoke, as well as black marks all over the floors. Our team knew that we had to make sure we were very particular and detailed while we took care of this fire damage repair project, because the homeowners did not want their home to look like it was ever damaged by a fire.

Project Results

After the Homestar Group team completed the fire damage repair project for this family, they couldn't even tell that there was ever a fire in this living room and bedroom. Our team tore out all the burnt-up walls and refinished the floors to make sure that our work was top notch. Overall, we think that taking care of this fire damage repair really brought this living room and bedroom back to life.
