Our Process
How Our Fire Damage Restoration Process Works
From emergency board-up through soot removal, odor elimination, and full reconstruction, each phase is sequenced to stop further damage, document the loss clearly, and keep the rebuild on track.
Emergency Board-Up & Securing
Insurance-Ready Documentation
Licensed Reconstruction
Phase 01
Emergency Board-Up & Securing
We arrive quickly to board up openings, tarp damaged roofs, and secure the structure from weather and trespassers. This prevents further damage from rain, wind, and unauthorized entry.
Phase 02
Damage Assessment & Documentation
Our IICRC FSRT-certified technicians assess the full scope of fire, smoke, and soot damage — including hidden smoke penetration in walls, attics, and HVAC systems. Everything is documented with photos and detailed scope for insurance.
Phase 03
Smoke & Soot Removal
We use specialized techniques for each type of smoke residue — dry smoke, wet smoke, protein residue, and fuel oil soot. HEPA vacuums, chemical sponges, and ultrasonic cleaning restore salvageable materials.
Phase 04
Odor Elimination
Thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment neutralize smoke odors embedded in porous materials. We address the source of the odor, not just the symptom.
Phase 05
Reconstruction & Build-Back
As a licensed general contractor, we handle complete reconstruction — framing, drywall, painting, flooring, cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, and final finishes. One company from emergency call to final walk-through.

Types of Fire Damage We Restore
Every fire is different. WrightWay has the certifications and experience to handle them all.
House & Structure Fires
Full structure fires require comprehensive restoration including structural evaluation, demolition, decontamination, and complete rebuild.
Learn More →Kitchen & Grease Fires
Kitchen fires produce protein-based residue that is invisible but creates severe, pervasive odors requiring specialized treatment.
Learn More →Electrical Fires
Electrical fires often smolder inside walls before detection, spreading smoke damage throughout the structure via wiring conduits.
Learn More →Smoke & Soot Damage Only
Even without direct fire contact, smoke and soot can cause extensive damage to surfaces, fabrics, electronics, and HVAC systems.
Learn More →Lightning Strikes
Florida leads the nation in lightning strikes. Resulting fires and electrical surges can damage structures, wiring, and electronics.
Learn More →Content & Belongings
Pack-out, inventory, professional cleaning, and restoration of furniture, electronics, clothing, documents, and personal items.

Our Core Values: RESTORE
We do more than restore buildings. We help restore peace of mind, trust, and stability after damage or disaster.
RESTORE Operating Standard
When disaster affects a home or business, the damage is never just structural. Families are displaced, routines are interrupted, tenants need answers, and insurance decisions carry real consequences. At WrightWay Emergency Services, our job is not only to restore property. It is to help restore peace of mind, trust, and stability when people need it most.
RESTORE defines how we operate every day, from the first phone call through mitigation, documentation, reconstruction, and final follow-through. It shapes how we serve homeowners, property managers, condo associations, and insurance partners in the moments when responsiveness, clarity, and care matter most.

RESTORE Model
Each letter highlights the standard our team follows in the field, in communication, and in closeout.
Respectful
We meet customers, teammates, and partners with professionalism and empathy, especially when a loss has disrupted daily life. We listen first, communicate calmly, and treat every home, business, and jobsite with care.
Exude Honesty
We communicate clearly and tell the truth, even when the update is difficult. That means transparent estimates, realistic timelines, and straightforward conversations about scope, cost, and expectations.
Support Others
Emergency work moves fast, and strong outcomes depend on strong teamwork. We back up our teammates, coordinate closely with adjusters and property managers, and step in quickly to solve problems before they grow.
Thoughtfully Care for Customers
Every property we enter represents someone's home, routine, investment, or livelihood. We work with compassion, protect what can be saved, and pay attention to the details that help customers feel secure during recovery.
Optimize Time
In restoration, delays can make damage worse. We respond with urgency, stay organized on site, and focus first on the actions that protect safety, prevent further loss, and move the project toward stability.
Reliable
We do what we say we will do. We show up when promised, stay responsive throughout the process, and follow through until the work is complete and the customer knows where things stand.
Exemplify Excellence
We hold ourselves to high standards in workmanship, documentation, cleanliness, and service. From emergency mitigation to final reconstruction, we aim to deliver work that earns trust long after the job is finished.
Cost & Insurance
What Does Fire Damage Restoration Cost in Florida?
Fire damage restoration costs depend on the type of fire, how far smoke and soot have spread, the materials involved, and whether structural reconstruction is needed. Here's what Southwest Florida homeowners typically see:
Minor Fire/Smoke
$3,000–$10,000
Contained fire with smoke/soot cleanup in limited area.
Typical for kitchen or appliance fires caught quickly
Moderate Damage
$10,000–$50,000
Multi-room smoke damage, partial demo and reconstruction.
Common when smoke has migrated beyond the fire origin
Major Fire
$50,000–$200,000+
Structural fire with significant rebuild, content restoration.
Often includes full reconstruction and contents pack-out
What influences your cost
Every loss is priced around contamination level, material impact, and how far the damage has already spread.
- Type of fire and smoke residue (dry, wet, protein, fuel)
- How many rooms smoke and soot have reached
- Whether structural demolition and rebuild are required
- Scope of contents cleaning, pack-out, and storage
- Whether odor elimination or HVAC decontamination is needed

I just wanted to take an opportunity to thank WrightWay and Greg Day and let them all know how appreciative I am for the help in getting my house back together. Very professional, reasonably priced and such an easy outfit to work with. You will definitely be my go-to for any future needs along with referring friends and family. It is great to know there are still honest and reputable companies out there that have passion in what they do! Your guys that came out were awesome. They took pride in their work and were friendly, knowledgeable, detailed and careful.
★★★★★
I had a very bad leak in my walk-in closet. I was very upset with the water and damage to the ceiling. WrightWay was notified and sent two professional workers Clarence and Csaba to make it right. They explained the work to be done in a very efficient way that I could comprehend, and I had confidence in the repair. It went without problems and completed in a few days without any further stress. They even cleaned up after so I required no work at all on my part. I would recommend these workers and this company to take care of any water damage.
★★★★★
Derek Hayes and his crew did a great job rebuilding our bathroom after mold was discovered there when we were selling our house. We were on a tight schedule and he did it within the time frame before closing. Very professional and detail-oriented work.

Do not re-enter the structure until the fire department has cleared it. Call WrightWay first at (941) 379-8669 for emergency board-up and restoration, then contact your insurance company to report the loss. Do not attempt to clean soot yourself — improper cleaning can permanently damage surfaces.
Timeline depends on severity. Minor smoke damage cleanup can take 1–2 weeks. Moderate fire damage with partial reconstruction typically takes 4–8 weeks. Major structural fires requiring full rebuild can take 3–6 months or more. WrightWay provides a timeline estimate during the initial assessment.
Yes, most standard homeowner's insurance policies cover fire damage, including structural repairs, smoke cleanup, contents restoration, and additional living expenses (ALE) while your home is being restored. WrightWay prepares Xactimate estimates and coordinates directly with your adjuster.
In many cases, yes. The approach depends on the type of smoke residue (dry, wet, protein, or fuel). Our FSRT-certified technicians use chemical sponges, HEPA vacuums, and specialized cleaning solutions. However, severely damaged drywall or porous materials may need replacement.
We use a combination of thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and where appropriate, ozone treatment. These methods neutralize odor molecules at the source rather than masking them. We also clean HVAC systems and ductwork where smoke particulates accumulate.
Many items can be professionally restored. WrightWay provides pack-out services — we inventory, transport, and clean your belongings at our facility using ultrasonic cleaning, dry cleaning, ozone treatment, and specialized techniques for electronics, documents, and photographs.
Mitigation stops further damage — board-up, tarping, water extraction from firefighting efforts, soot and smoke removal. Reconstruction is the rebuild — framing, drywall, flooring, painting, fixtures. WrightWay handles both as a licensed general contractor, eliminating the need for separate companies.
Yes. WrightWay prepares detailed Xactimate estimates, provides timestamped photo documentation, coordinates with your adjuster, and handles supplemental claims when additional damage is discovered. We use the same estimating software insurance companies use.
