Washington Certified Veteran-Owned Business
Restora provides fire damage restoration across Seattle and the Greater Puget Sound, with a veteran-owned, IICRC-certified team that responds 24/7 to stabilize the property, clean smoke and soot, and begin restoring what the fire left behind.
Acting quickly matters. Soot is acidic and starts etching glass, metal, and finishes within hours, and in Seattle's damp climate the water from firefighting can lead to mold within a day or two if it isn't dried out. We move fast to limit that secondary damage, document everything your insurance company needs, and give you one accountable team from the first emergency call through the final repairs.
We're here to help
We treat your home with the same care and attention we'd give our own. After a fire, that means a clear assessment, honest answers about what can be cleaned and what needs to be replaced, and steady communication while we handle the smoke, soot, odor, and structural cleanup. You'll always know what's happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

Fire damage is rarely just one problem. A single fire can leave smoke residue in rooms the flames never reached, soot embedded in HVAC systems, water saturation from suppression efforts, charred structural materials, and a stubborn odor that ordinary cleaning can't remove. Restora handles the full scope of fire and smoke restoration for both homes and businesses, so you don't have to manage a different contractor for each piece of the recovery.
Smoke lingers long after the fire is out, leaving discoloration, odor, and corrosive residue on surfaces throughout the property. We clean smoke and soot from walls, ceilings, fixtures, and contents, and we decontaminate HVAC systems so smoke is not redistributed every time the system runs.
Soot is acidic and damages surfaces the longer it sits. Our team uses targeted dry and wet cleaning methods matched to each material — drywall, wood, stone, metal, and fabric — to remove soot fully without driving it deeper or causing further damage.
Firefighting often leaves behind hundreds of gallons of water. We extract standing water, dry the structure with commercial air movers and dehumidifiers, and monitor moisture levels to prevent the mold growth that Seattle's wet climate makes likely.
Smoke odor embeds itself in porous materials, ductwork, and soft furnishings. We use HEPA air scrubbers, thermal fogging, and neutralizing treatments to remove odor at the source rather than masking it
Because Restora also handles reconstruction, we can move from cleanup straight into rebuilding — drywall, flooring, paint, cabinetry, and structural repairs — returning your property to pre-loss condition with one team.
Fire damage in the Seattle area carries a few local wrinkles that affect how a property should be restored. The same rain and humidity that define the Puget Sound also speed up secondary damage after a fire. Water left behind from firefighting doesn't evaporate quickly here, so trapped moisture in walls, subfloors, and insulation can turn into mold within 24 to 48 hours if the structure isn't dried properly. A fire loss in Seattle is almost always a combined fire, smoke, and water restoration project.
Older building stock across neighborhoods like Ballard, Capitol Hill, West Seattle, and the surrounding King County communities adds another layer. Plaster walls, knob-and-tube wiring areas, and decades of layered finishes can hide soot and moisture where it is not visible from the room. Smoke and soot also travel through shared wall cavities and ductwork, reaching spaces well beyond the room where the fire started.
Restora restores both residential and commercial properties throughout Seattle and the Greater Puget Sound. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, HEPA filtration, and containment when needed to find hidden damage and clean it correctly. Because our team also handles structural repairs, we can carry a fire loss from emergency stabilization through complete reconstruction without handing you off to a separate contractor.
When you call, we gather the details of the fire loss and dispatch a team as quickly as possible. Onsite, we secure the property with board-up or tarping if needed, identify safety hazards, and evaluate the full extent of smoke, soot, and water damage throughout the structure — including walls, ceilings, flooring, and HVAC systems.
If firefighting left water behind, we extract it and set commercial drying equipment before it can cause mold or further structural damage. Drying placement is based on moisture readings, and we monitor progress until the structure reaches a proper dry standard.
Using cleaning agents and equipment matched to each surface, we remove soot from walls, ceilings, furniture, and belongings with both dry and wet techniques. We then attack embedded odor at the source with HEPA scrubbing, thermal fogging, and neutralizing treatments rather than simply covering it up.
Once cleaning and drying are done, we walk the property to confirm it's clean and safe. From there, Restora can handle the repairs the fire required, from minor fixes and repainting to full structural reconstruction, so you finish with one team accountable start to finish.
It takes real industry knowledge and a deep understanding of the system to successfully challenge an insurance company, and Restora proved they have both.

A fire is one of the most stressful claims a property owner can file, and the documentation has to be thorough. Restora supports your claim by photographing the damage, recording moisture readings, inventorying affected contents, and preparing an itemized restoration scope your adjuster can work from. One of our clients put it plainly: it takes real industry knowledge to successfully work with an insurance company, and our team brings exactly that.
If you have already filed, we can coordinate directly with your insurance company and provide the information they request. If you have not filed yet, we can explain what details are typically needed before you call. You stay in control of the claim while our team handles the technical documentation that supports the cleanup, drying, odor removal, and repair work.
As a veteran-owned company, Restora brings structure, discipline, and steady communication to one of the hardest moments a property owner can face. Our IICRC-certified technicians understand how fast smoke, soot, and water work against a building, and our team is trained to restore both residential and commercial properties throughout Seattle and the Greater Puget Sound.
We're BBB accredited, Washington Certified Veteran-Owned, and available 24/7 for emergency fire damage response. Just as important, we don't disappear once the soot is cleaned. If your property needs drywall, flooring, cabinets, paint, or full structural reconstruction, our team carries the project through to completion. Our local reviews reflect that follow-through.
