At Tri State Flood Inc, we specialize in comprehensive disaster restoration services. Our team is dedicated to safeguarding homes and businesses from the damaging effects of water, fires, mold and storms. Here’s what sets us apart: Water Removal and Storm Damage Restoration: When water wreaks havoc due to storms or other incidents, we’re here to help. Our 24/7 emergency response team swiftly tackles water extraction, drying, and structural repairs. Comprehensive Services: Beyond mold and water remediation, we handle storm damage repairs, basement flood cleanup and fire restoration. Choose Tri State Flood Inc for reliable, efficient, and compassionate restoration services. We’re committed to restoring peace of mind and protecting your property.

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

Trefler's has been owned and operated by the Trefler family since 1921. It all began in Germany, when Abraham Trefler began a small business for himself building and restoring furniture. Abraham’s son, Eric, was one of the few survivors of the camps in Poland and Germany during WWII. Upon his liberation, he left Europe for New York, and finally settled in Boston, MA. After spending some time working as a furniture restorer for the antique dealers on Beacon Street, he opened his own business. Using the expertise he learned from his father back in Germany, he quickly became renowned for his uncanny ability to restore almost any kind of art object. Today, Trefler’s is still owned and operated by the Trefler family. We expertly mix century-old techniques with modern restoration technology to create some of the best repairs in the world. No project is too big or too small for us to work our magic. Come take a tour of the studio and see what we can do to preserve your family’s heritage.

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Most insurance policies cover fire damage. Be sure to check the details of your policy to see how coverage is calculated—it can be either the full replacement cost of damaged materials and items or the actual cash value, which includes depreciation. When making a fire damage claim, be sure to get all the necessary documentation together to help expedite the process. 

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.

Yes, many providers offer 24/7 emergency repair services to prevent inventory loss.

In most cases, yes, a fire-damaged house can be repaired. The only exception would be if a house fire leads to major structural damage. In that case, it might be faster and more affordable to knock down the house and start from scratch. In most cases, though, repairs are possible with help from a professional.

Luckily, you can typically eliminate your microwave’s burnt smell within a few hours for most situations. Be sure to let it air out for two to three hours after cleaning to let the odor evacuate your home—if you close your home up too early, the odor will be trapped. For stronger, more stubborn burnt smells, it might take a full day or more to really notice a difference.
