Thank you for making this video. I lost my home in January 2022 To a flu fire. Thankfully everyone made it out safely, but only the garage and one bedroom, and the floors in the rest of the house are salvageable. You have given me a time line I can visualize. And hope!
See my comment. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope that you and your family are back on your home and thriving. This type of incident has been incomparable to anything I've experienced in my life thus far. Our home was a 75% catastrophic fire loss, just under 48 hours ago.
@@Mattycp007 I still haven’t rebuilt, sad to say. Lack of funds has made it difficult but I’ve been slowly collecting supplies and I’m making progress on my own. Working towards a mini home out of the 18X24 area that is still standing. Won’t be much, but it’s mine.
I find it cool that you guys rebuilt it to be almost incidental to what it was before. That's how I would wanna have my house rebuilt if it burned. idk why I just like the mapping of the home i live in.
Good Morning I must say this was a somewhat comforting and reassuring video. Our home suffered substantial damage in a fire incident on the 31 of July 2024, here in Chandler, Arizona. This video is excellent in all aspects of what you do in turning a tragedy into a welcome home beginning. Great video. Very Informative!
I imagine you’re still in shock. For weeks after my fire I felt like I was just in aww of what it had done to individual items and my home. From weird collages of melted Legos and toys, two piles of melted aluminum below the porch, where it had funneled and cooled as the siding melted. I even found things that I had to laugh and say, I was glad they were gone… Like the ottoman, full of clean, unmatched socks. I wish you comfort during this time! May you rebuild quickly!

In most cases reconstruction is more cost effective. In this case, the majority of the frame and all of the foundation was saved after the fire. That meant that rebuilding did not have to include the cost demolishing the frame and slab then repouring and starting from scratch. It may not sound like much, but that was actually a huge money saver.
What the other guy said and a lot of times it depends on the insurance company I spent 10 years on a fire department and what the insurance company pays for to redo is unbelievable it would have been cheaper to tear some of these houses down and start over put the insurance company wanted to rebuild
@@paulhickey4485 Think about what's in/under a slab... water, sewage, gas, possibly electric services that may need new connections as the old could have been damaged or contaminated... Then consider that concrete is porous and will absorb contaminants from the smoke and soot washed down on it. You could also run into the need to update things to modern code standards.
Antoine Busby I get that but if an external sources like a car or laptop I would go back to live there. On the other hand if it was something inside the house that caused the fire then no.
What about fire smell abatement for the soil in the crawlspace or smoky moisture absorbed by a slab? How much soil do you remove? Do you wait for a slab to dry out and then seal it? Without treatment, I can imagine the fire smell coming back whenever it rains.
I have rules to prevent house fires is to Not leave stove and ovens unattended and never leave your space heater unattended and always clean your dryer filter and always replace a washing machine every 10 years and also keep your Christmas tree watered.
Homeowner policies ought to have plenty of money to cover contents and definitely code upgrades coverage. These two line items cause more stress on an already highly stressful situation, its best to pay the extra dollars because nobody is immune to disasters. Nobody.
Ooooh my Gooood! THAT WAS AWESOME! Question, how much a clean-up and restore like that cost? And how much time does it take? Here in Mexico, we have a VERY different method of construction, houses are built with brick, cement, and stone, therefore fires are very rare, but of course, weather here is not as extreme as in the US, so we don't need insulation, but anyway, I've always wondered, why to built-in wood? To save time, to generate insulation, because it's a tradition? Plus wood is exspensive to mantain. I am amazed the way you worked, fascinating job and I love the equipment ;)
Its always costs. Wood is used because its cheaper. Also its easier to insulate I think. And I think you mean insulation, not isolation. You're very lucky to live in your climate. Construction is so much easier and living costs so much lower without needing heat. The key is to live without air conditioning which is very bad for your health. Interesting how living the cheapest way is the healthiest.
@@FreshAirRules Yeeeea, sorry, "insulation"!!! Let me edit such an error. And you are totally right, cost and health. But fires, the horror! And, well, we are lucky with the weather, not so lucky with the safety. I would NEVER live in a place without proper bars in all windows and glass doors. Unas por otras, like we say :) Regards!
I really wish my neighbor got this type of help. His house burned completely and he still lives in there. He lives there because he has no insurance and no family around. he is 73 years old and is still talking out trash himself when the fire happened 5 weeks ago /:
@@russellennis7428 So true. The human body gets used to smells so he probably doesn't even notice it anymore. Though he may if he's been away from the house for a while. So, so dangerous. The fire didn't kill him at the time but the results of that fire will soon, especially at that age.
I need this bad . My mom's house burned on July 3rd .So know we're homeless. I am doing most of the work on my own. Lord knows I need the help so desperately bad . But it's hard liveing pay by pay on a minimum wage. . Do you'll ever do Charity work?🙏🙏.. HELP " PECOS TEXAS"🙏🙏🥺

It's been 2 months since this comment ... curious how long if took to fix? 🙂 Sorry you had to experience this! 😔
Also curious. Had a building fire in February and they have just started with the roof

I hope everyone was okay in this damage. Great work too!
Fantastic work. Nice
This Video is very Excellent. Thanks for Video.
I was considering buying a burned out home -- now I'm not! Thanks for saving me a fortune
yeah basically your almost building a new house.
Just study the subject. Remember, when others are fearful profits are often plentiful.
@@FreshAirRules Not unless you have $200k to burn. Not touching a burned out house

Great Job. Excellent Work.
Amazing!! This what I plan on doing with grandparents old house
Nice job guys! Would it not been cheaper to tear down and total rebuild?

@@pauldavisrestorationofnewm64 Why would a new slab be needed if the existing slab was still good?

@@leefisher.styrenemarine5566 Probably depends a lot on the resourcefulness and efficiency of the restoration company.
I don’t think I could ever sleep well in a home that was restored due to a fire. House fires scare me tremendously!
Same. I have therapy because of a fire accident. It pretty much gave me anxiety. But at the same time I do want to live in that house.
I have pyrophobia so I would just get a new house all in total
Antoine Busby I get that but if an external sources like a car or laptop I would go back to live there. On the other hand if it was something inside the house that caused the fire then no.
@@_aj345_ Or what if an arsonist did it then what would you do. (Assuming u knew an arsonist did it)
People that think you do rarely accumulate any money because of your needless and illogical fears. All that matters is how it is now.
How long did this rebuild take? Please respond!
I wonder how much it cost to do all of that.
how much this cost?
How long did this process take?
What about fire smell abatement for the soil in the crawlspace or smoky moisture absorbed by a slab? How much soil do you remove? Do you wait for a slab to dry out and then seal it? Without treatment, I can imagine the fire smell coming back whenever it rains.
Restoration cost??
What's the cost?
How did they put H clips on the roof with the middle section being left to install?
Hi, do I need a Certificate and permit to restore the house, to after all pass the inspection and sell the house? Great job, thank for the video.
How much did it cost to restore the house from the fire with and without reconstruction
It's funny they won't answer that.
About 5 bucks.
@@JM-fr3cd I noticed that.

Where are you located?
I really wish my neighbor got this type of help. His house burned completely and he still lives in there. He lives there because he has no insurance and no family around. he is 73 years old and is still talking out trash himself when the fire happened 5 weeks ago /:
I'm so sorry :(
That is dangerous the smell will probably kill him try to get him out there before it to late
Good luck
@@russellennis7428 So true. The human body gets used to smells so he probably doesn't even notice it anymore. Though he may if he's been away from the house for a while. So, so dangerous. The fire didn't kill him at the time but the results of that fire will soon, especially at that age.
Oh no! I'm so sorry!
Do you all do work in Southern NM? Sacramento
That is lovely.
Will the smell of smoke and melted materials really be fully gone?
very nice !!!!
Nice 👍🏻
I regret that you did not include electrical work in your project before beginning the drywall installation.
I need this bad . My mom's house burned on July 3rd .So know we're homeless. I am doing most of the work on my own. Lord knows I need the help so desperately bad . But it's hard liveing pay by pay on a minimum wage. . Do you'll ever do Charity work?🙏🙏.. HELP " PECOS TEXAS"🙏🙏🥺
That is not a restoration. That is a new build.
Everything was replaced with the cheapest possible upgrade
We should have called a company like yours.
Belfor also do a great job
Nice job but painting the house all white gives it a generic, sanitary look. Color on the trim could have been helpful.
this is cool
We don't have much leads in NM, but if anyone's interested in fire leads in other states: www.firedamagedproperties.com/

Why do they use so many wood in American houses? Like the walls are just wood. Here in Europe all houses got stone walls.
You guys should be happy because before the black moors colonized europe you guys used to live in barns and caves
You use the materials available wherever you are.
Cats did this

Buy a house fire damage hard up
Nice, if your near los angeles call servicemaster by 24/7 restoration team, they did a great job on my place.
Gee, I wonder if he read a script word for word.
Kilz is not the proper product to be used as an encapsulate for odor control. Go back to the basics guys.
Whining USA do they built homes with so much wood?
Here in Europe houses are built with stone.ll
wow
Lmao KILZ is NOT an Odor Neutralizer
Christian Rodriguez it’s a sealant
Oooooohhhhhh noooooo
So a commercial , thanks for wasting my time.
