Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Sonora, TX fire claims get partially denied.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Sonora loss from spreading further.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
