Fire damage restoration in the western Washington

Fire restoration or rebuild is the process of reconstructing and repairing a property after it has sustained significant fire damage. Unlike mitigation, which focuses on immediate cleanup and damage control, our work focuses on the complete reconstruction after a complex fire loss, addressing structural damage, smoke odor, mechanical systems, and finishes in order to make your home liveable again.
Our fire damage restoration work typically includes the following:

  • Assessing Scope – Evaluating the extent of fire/smoke damage and creating a detailed plan for the rebuild.
  • Structural Repairs – Replacing damaged framing members
  • Smoke Odor Remediation – Any remaining framing members are cleaned and sealed to eliminate any odors in a process called smoke sealing. This process is crucial to a successful restoration
  • Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Systems – Repairing or replacing compromised systems and bringing those systems up to current code standards.
  • Interior Finishes– Including cabinetry, doors & millwork, flooring, tile, and fixtures.

Odor/ smoke remediation in western Washington

As part of our rebuild/restoration process, we provide comprehensive odor and smoke remediation services to eliminate smoke damage. If not properly addressed, smoke & odors can persist long after the visible damage is repaired.
Here’s how smoke and odor remediation works during the fire rebuild process:

1. Assessment and inspection
Our team evaluates the extent of smoke damage and identifies building materials that require removal including areas of potentially hidden or trapped odor. We look for key signs of trapped odor such as pressurization, where smoke can be forced down into wall and floor cavities and require full removal of finishes to ensure a successful restoration.


2. Demolition
Removal and disposal of damaged building materials that cannot be salvaged or removal of seemingly intact materials in order to address trapped smoke odor.


3. Structure cleaning & sealing
We clean exposed framing members that can be saved either by hand or with media blasting. Then using a high strength sealant we encapsulate all remaining framing members to eliminate any potential odor they may have absorbed.

Call Now (425) 949-5601

Storm damage restoration

Severe weather events like windstorms and falling trees can leave behind extensive damage including structural damage and water intrusion. In most cases, the full extent of storm-related damage isn’t fully visible and may require investigative demolition to uncover any structural damage. In these scenarios we develop a selective demolition plan with our structural engineers to fully document and capture the full extent of damage. This allows us to produce a detailed scope of repairs and keep your insurance carrier fully informed of the scope and costs for your project. This ensures timely approvals from your carrier and that your home is fully restored to its pre-loss condition.

Why work with us for residential insurance restoration?

Locally owned

We work and live in the communities we serve and believe in providing a quality product and client relationship. At Greater Seattle Construction, treating clients and their homes with a high level of respect is a standard process.

Our focus is insurance restoration

We specialize in insurance claims-based damage reconstruction which allows us to be experts in our field. The approach to restoration is very different from remodel and ground up construction and having a tailored approach to our specific field sets GSC apart from many companies in our area.


Comprehensive management

We handle every aspect of the reconstruction process and work closely with your insurance company so you can focus on returning to your normal pace of life after suffering a major loss event.

Attention to detail

From estimating to scheduling to communication, our team takes pride in our attention to detail, from managing a complex millwork installation to providing proactive updates.

Commercial Restoration

Commercial restoration services in the Greater Seattle area

Providing comprehensive insurance restoration for commercial and multi-family properties

With decades of experience under our belts, Greater Seattle Construction simplifies the restoration process by managing the project from initial scope development through every phase of construction.


Our commercial restoration services

Our commercial restoration expertise covers everything from large-scale water and fire restoration to addressing a variety of issues, including tree strikes, sewage backups, and vehicle impacts.

Commercial fire damage restoration

Fire restoration is at the core of our work. Our estimators, equipped with decades of experience, know exactly what to look for when assessing a property affected by fire damage. Often, this damage is hidden or not immediately obvious, requiring a keen eye to uncover.

We work collaboratively as a team to develop a comprehensive understanding of the full scope of work in the face of complex fire losses. For structural damage, we partner with engineers who specialize in the insurance restoration industry. Our long-standing relationships allow us to expedite plans while collaboratively addressing code upgrades, construction feasibility, and permitting challenges.

We produce a detailed scope of work that outlines a clear plan, addressing all damages sustained, including physical damage and smoke odor. By investing this time upfront, we set both our clients and production teams up for success.


Commercial water damage restoration

Beyond the visible damage caused by a water loss, we also assess other components of your property that may have unseen damage. By identifying these issues upfront, we provide you and your insurance company with a comprehensive view of the entire project, helping to save time during the reconstruction process.


Tree strikes & storm damage restoration

Major tree falls on buildings can often cause damages extending beyond the initial impact point. Based on our depth of knowledge from decades of experience with these loss types, we go through a process of identifying the full extent of damage and then work closely with our structural engineers to ensure your property is rebuilt the right way.


Vehicular damage restoration

Vehicular damage claims are often localized but involve many trades, along with engineering and permitting. Our knowledge of this process helps expedite your repairs by addressing these complexities upfront, ensuring a faster resolution.

Why work with us for commercial restoration?

We understand the real estate business

Our approach to commercial and multi-family extends beyond the actual construction, and we understand the coordination required between the different stakeholders involved in a project. From the property manager to onsite teams, owner’s reps, family-run real estate portfolios, and large capital groups. Establishing clear expectations upfront and maintaining timeframes is imperative when dealing with multi-tenant apartment losses or commercial spaces. Giving our clients the proper information to manage their tenant’s and investor’s expectations is a responsibility we take on with every project.

Project complexity and logistics

Major loss events to multi-family and commercial properties often involve creative solutions to challenging circumstances. Most properties do not have large parking lots that allow for proper staging, stocking, and even parking. A large part of our initial assessment and scope development involves the logistical side of the project from start to finish, working through every trade and identifying potential challenges that need to be properly documented with all parties involved to ensure a smooth reconstruction process.


Deep knowledge of the claims process

We work with your adjuster to agree on a scope of work and ultimately reach an agreed cost of repairs. We accomplish this by providing a detailed scope of work, supporting documentation, and a clear plan for the project. Large loss claims often have many moving parts beyond the actual construction. We mitigate these other factors by identifying key critical path items that will move the claim forward and allow the construction to start. Our collaborative and transparent approach to insurance claims allows your restoration project to move forward and avoid unnecessary delays.

Reputation of excellence

Greater Seattle Construction is renowned as a top restoration contractor in the greater Seattle area. Our reputation for excellence comes from our effective management of insurance claims and reconstruction work. We are adept at handling large and complex claims, leveraging our extensive knowledge in both construction and insurance claims management.
