Tap to call a top-rated San Antonio crew. Most answer around the clock and quote before any work starts.
San Antonio's fire-restoration reviews are dominated by insurance — eighteen mentions, the most of any fire market we track — and by pack-outs: reviewers repeatedly describe crews inventorying, photographing, and tracking belongings through off-site cleaning. Contents handling is where fire jobs go right or wrong here.
"Courteous staff" and "clear explanations" lead the extracted themes, and "insurance claim assistance" appears by name. The practical read: ask any crew how belongings are tracked and when they come back, and who coordinates with your adjuster — the sparse complaints in this corpus cluster almost entirely around contents that went quiet for weeks, not around the mitigation work itself.

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.
