What can we help with?
Every project begins after the fire is out and the property is released. Your call goes to an independent pro who handles this work every week.
Emergency board-up & roof tarp-over
Broken windows, doors, and burned-through roof sections secured quickly against weather, animals, and intrusion.
Water damage from firefighting
Extraction, structural drying, and dehumidification for the water that put the fire out.
Odor removal & air scrubbing
HEPA air scrubbers, source removal, and deodorization that neutralizes smoke odor instead of masking it.
Contents cleaning & pack-out
Furniture, clothing, and keepsakes inventoried, packed out, and professionally cleaned off-site while the house is restored.
Why call Golden State Fire Restoration?
Matched to fire-specific pros
Fire damage is its own trade: soot chemistry, structural drying, odor science, and careful demolition. We route you to independent pros who handle fire damage restoration every week — not general handymen.
One call on a hard week
After a fire, the last thing you need is an afternoon of searching and voicemail. One free call, and we connect you with a local pro who can walk the property and explain what comes next.
Free, no-obligation call
Calling costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You hire (or do not hire) the pro directly, on your own timeline.
Metros we serve across the Golden State
California homes take fire damage in their own ways: stucco that holds smoke odor in its texture, tile roofs over attics that inhale wildfire ash through the vents, and a long dry season that leaves everything ready to burn but also buys time for a careful rebuild. Our partner pros work across the state's major metros and scope what your home actually needs — not a one-size package.

Frequently asked questions
My home is on fire, or I smell smoke or gas right now. Should I call you?
No — call 911 first. Golden State Fire Restoration matches homeowners with restoration pros for the aftermath; we are not an emergency line. Once the fire is out, do not re-enter the structure until the fire department says it is safe. After that, we are glad to help you find a pro.
Do you do the work yourselves?
No. Golden State Fire Restoration is a referral and matching service. Independent local fire damage restoration professionals from our partner network perform the work, and you contract with them directly.
Will my homeowners insurance cover fire damage restoration?
Fire is a commonly covered peril under standard homeowners policies, but coverage, limits, and deductibles vary by policy — your insurer and its adjuster make that determination, not us and not the restoration contractor. Report the loss promptly, document everything before it is cleaned or moved, and keep receipts. A restoration pro's written scope helps everyone work from the same facts, but no one can promise what a specific policy will pay.
How much does fire damage restoration cost?
It ranges enormously — from a contained kitchen fire needing cleanup and odor treatment to whole-house smoke damage with months of work. The honest answer comes from a pro walking your property; be wary of anyone quoting firm numbers sight unseen. Calling us is free either way.
Can smoke odor really be removed, or does it always come back?
It can be removed — when the source is removed. Odor returns when soot-soaked materials are painted over or left inside walls and ducts. Pros treat odor last, after cleanup, using source removal, sealing where appropriate, and deodorization that neutralizes rather than masks. Done in that order, the results hold through the hottest weeks of the year.
