"Do not hire this company. Save yourself the hassle. They literally messed up every bit of work after a fire restoration. Communication is horribleâ ¦very slow process. Horrible work. I do not like giving bad reviews but I felt obligated to warn others. This is by far the worst work on a house that Iâ ve ever seen. I donâ t even think they did anything by code. This company shouldnâ t be allowed to operate."

"A ligthning strike damaged my irrigation control panel and my insurance allowed me to get it repaired. After spending a while looking for reputable companies able to fix my issue, I opted to go with Fisherguard Water protection. Jason, the owner from Fisherguard was very responsive, friendly and competent. The repairs were extensive and not cheap but the insurance accepted to cover it all.

Trip Charges are included in the price per job. I do give FREE estimates on all jobs with the exception of " Insurance Estimate Jobs". For any job that is requiring an estimate for the insurance company. There will be a charge of $25.00 per estimate. IF I am awarded the job, this $25.00 will be deducted off of your final price. Therefore making it a FREE estimate. Unfortunately I've given FREE estimates in the past for these jobs, only to have the homeowner ONLY use me long enough to get the money from the insurance company & I never hear from them again. This is the only way I can see to keep it honest. There are many " handyman" companies out there today, but I believe that one of the things that sets me apart from them, is I have actually been in the industry for over 25yrs. This is not new to me. Also, I believe in 'honesty'. If you ask me to quote you for a job, that I am NOT completely comfortable with, I will be honest & tell you I'm not skilled in that area. But I will be happy to help you find someone who is, & someone you can trust, @ NO Charge to you. I do all the work myself, I'm not an owner that goes out, gives you an estimate & then sends a crew of men to do the job. I do it myself. I rarely have the need to use an outside "subcontractor". If I do have that need, you will know first.

"My family has used ETL Construction for a variety of projects, most recently to inspect and make improvements to our home prior to sale. Honesty and integrity are rare these days in the contracting realm, and the team at ETL is built on a foundation of trust and respect. They are true project managers and keep track of every step of the process to ensure they stay on time and in budget. They met with us to tour every inch of our property, listened to our concerns, and made recommendations to us. They completely replaced our front steps that had deteriorated, completely rebuilt a deck that was not originally built up to par, assisted with drywall repair, electrical work. plumbing, and even landscaping. From the top, down, every single member of this expert team of professionals works hard to ensure that everything exceeds exceptions. Additionally, their team has design and decorating expertise and assisted us with matching paint colors, choosing stains, and choosing finishes for fixtures that required replacing. I can't say enough about this family-owned business. If you choose to work with ETL, and I highly recommend that you do, you will soon be a friend of the family, too!"

FAQs for fire or smoke damage recovery service projects in Watkinsville, GA

You generally don’t have to recreate the exact layout to receive full insurance benefits. As long as the work occurs on the same site, most policies still apply, and some even let you recover depreciation when you choose updated designs. Call your carrier early, review your coverage in detail, and confirm any requirements before work begins. Staying close to the original footprint often speeds approval and helps ensure safety codes are met.

Proper smoke-removal methods—such as ozone treatment, thermal fogging, and deep cleaning—can clear most odors, but timing depends on how much residue is present and how large the home is. Many jobs take several days, while severe cases can last a week or more. A qualified restoration pro will inspect the damage, recommend the right technique, and verify that air quality and odor levels meet safety standards before the space is considered fully restored.

The first step is calling a licensed restoration pro for a thorough assessment. Acting quickly limits moisture-related damage from sprinklers or hoses, curbs mold growth, and prevents hidden structural problems. Once the initial inspection is complete, the team can outline a step-by-step plan so each repair proceeds safely and efficiently, helping you protect both your property and your family’s health.

Repairing fire damage takes one week for minor restorations and several months for extensive damage affecting multiple areas of your home. The repair duration is determined by the severity and extent of the damage. Consulting a professional restoration team provides a precise timeline that ensures each necessary step is executed safely and efficiently, restoring your home completely.

Ozone treatment is one of the most effective ways to eliminate stubborn smoke odors because it oxidizes the molecules that cause the smell instead of simply covering them up. When a trained pro treats each room and follows the correct safety protocols, most homeowners notice a marked improvement in air quality and little to no lingering odor. Results vary based on how heavy the smoke damage was, but ozone remains a trusted option for deep deodorizing.
