Across 1,100+ Google reviews of Tampa Bay fire restoration crews, kitchen fires are the recurring story — kitchens are named seven times across the review set, consistent with the national pattern that cooking is the leading cause of home fires. The crews reviewers praise treated “small” kitchen fires seriously: smoke travels the whole house even when flames touch one room.
“Thoroughness” leads Google's extracted themes for Tampa — and in fire work that word is doing real work, because incomplete soot and odor removal is the most common fire-restoration failure. Hurricane Helene still appears in these reviews too: many of these crews run fire and storm response off the same roster, and the ones that performed in the storm aftermath carry that reputation into fire calls.

Fire losses are priced by how far smoke, heat and firefighting water traveled — the fire itself is often the smaller part of the bill. Nearly every serious fire job includes a water job: what the hoses soaked is on a mold clock within days.
| Damage level | Typical scope | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Minor — smoke & soot | Cleaning, deodorizing, repaint; no structural work | $2,000 – $8,000 |
| Moderate — room + water | Teardown, dry-out of firefighting water, rebuild of affected rooms | $8,000 – $30,000 |
| Major — structural | Reconstruction, full contents pack-out, temporary housing | $30,000 – $100,000+ |
What to do after the fire is out — before and while a restoration crew is on the way.
Don't re-enter until the fire department clears the structure. Heat-weakened floors and damaged wiring injure more people after the fire than the fire does.
Fire is a covered core peril on essentially every homeowners policy. Ask about board-up coverage and Additional Living Expenses — the hotel tonight may be reimbursable.
Document every room before cleanup. Don't wipe soot — the wrong technique smears it permanently — and don't run the HVAC, which spreads soot through the house.
Everything the hoses soaked is on the same 24–48h mold timeline as a flood. Drying starts now, not after the adjuster's visit.
