Geico Builders specializes in meeting your expectations before, during, and after the project is complete. Our most upstanding quality is our accountability--you can expect us to own the work we complete for your home. Of course, we know accountability means nothing without proof, which is why we are happy to offer a 2-year workmanship warranty to all of our clients. This is a rare quality for this industry, but we wanted to prove to you that we stand by our craftsmanship through our home remodeling construction services. Every Crew at Geico Builders has been professionally trained and will treat your home with integrity and respect.

"We recently hired Geico Builders for a full home remodel, and the entire experience was fantastic. Their team worked quickly without cutting corners, and everyone who came into our home was friendly and respectful. They kept us updated throughout the project and made sure we felt comfortable with every step. What impressed me most was how clean they left the house each day no mess, no clutter. The final result turned out even better than we imagined. Truly a professional crew."

"Ovation Restoration did an excellent job with our home improvement project. In our master bedroom, to take advantage of a fantastic view, they removed a large window from one wall, sealing it up like new, and installed a similar window on another wall. The work was performed quickly and skillfully, with great results. They also turned the double door leading into that room into a single door, creating more space in the room. Concurrently, in the guest bathroom, the old tub was removed, and a beautiful walk-in tiled shower was installed, along with a window with a fantastic view. The project manager Rick was a pleasure to work with, and his team were all professional, conscientious, and friendly. Everything turned out just as we imagined. We would highly recommend Ovation Restoration."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

The first step in fire damage restoration is having a pro come in right away to help control moisture (if authorities used water to extinguish a fire at your home). Skipping moisture removal puts your home at risk for invasive mold and rot that can cause added property damage and health issues. Once you have the bulk of the water out, you’ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.

On average, you should expect the fire damage restoration process to take two weeks, but the timeline can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage and the type of fire damage you have. Minor cooking fires that you’re able to extinguish yourself may only take a day or two to clean soot and remove smoke odors, while restoring an entire section of a home or fixing structural damage after a major house fire can take six to 12 months. Ask your professional for a more accurate timeline for your specific project.

As with any smoking appliance, a smoking oven is a concerning fire risk. It also negatively impacts your indoor air quality, which can put vulnerable people at risk of breathing problems. A dirty oven can catch fire if you don’t stay on top of regular maintenance, so remember to check your oven for signs that it’s time for a cleaning and remove buildup every three months to stay on the safe side.

Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more—it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner’s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you’re buying a home with fire damage, though, it’s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.

Fire damage restoration can take as little as a week to repair minor damage, but a full property renovation after a major fire can take longer than a year, including time to get approval for the work and get your contractors paid through your insurance company. Overall, it’s always best to talk to your insurance provider and your repair team about your individual situation to get the best estimate.
