Before and After Photos of Custom Fire Damage Restoration Projects in Fort Myers Beach, FL
Lanai Laundry Fire Cleanup at 22652 Island Pines Way, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931
The washer and dryer at this Admirals Bay condo sit in a closet on the screened lanai, and a lint-packed dryer vent caught fire there between two rental bookings. Smoke drifted across the balcony overlooking the canal and mangrove preserve, and some slipped into the 811-square-foot unit through the sliding door. Our crew replaced the scorched closet drywall and ran a new rigid metal vent. Every surface in the unit got a full soot cleaning, so the owner kept the next guests’ check-in date just 4 days later.
Turnaround time: 4 days
Price: $4,100
Kitchen Fire Restoration at 4263 Bay Beach Ln, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931
A pan left on the built-in stove of this Harbour Pointe unit, a short trip from Santini Plaza and the Beach Farmers Market, burned just months after the owners finished a full kitchen remodel. Soot coated the new granite island, the stainless appliances and the diagonal tile. Our technicians cleaned the granite with a pH-neutral stone cleaner so the finish stayed intact, then wiped the stainless with the grain to avoid streaks. The kitchen ceiling got a stain-blocking primer and fresh paint, and the new impact sliders came through spotless.
Turnaround time: 5 days
Price: $4,800
Smoke and Corrosion Cleanup at 140 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931
An electrical fire in this north-end condo near Bowditch Point Park looked small, but salt air and acidic soot together start corroding metal within days. Light fixtures, door hardware and sliding door tracks were already pitting by the time the owner called. Our technicians cleaned every metal surface with an alkaline neutralizer first, then moved on to walls, ceilings and the air ducts. Corroded hinges and cabinet pulls were swapped for marine-grade stainless, which holds up far better this close to the Gulf.
Turnaround time: 6 days
Price: $4,300
Exterior Fire Cleanup at 61 Mango St, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931
A fire at a neighboring property scorched the side of this Seagrape-area beach home, one parcel from the Gulf and a short walk from Margaritaville Beach Resort. Radiant heat cracked two windows and left soot streaks across the siding, and ash drifted onto the roof and into the outdoor shower. Our crew boarded the cracked windows the same day, then soft washed the siding and roof without sending runoff toward the beach. Inside, smoke that came through the broken glass came out with dry sponging and a hydroxyl treatment.
Turnaround time: 6 days
Price: $5,500
Fire Damage Restoration for Elevated Homes Built After Hurricane Ian
Many homes rebuilt on Fort Myers Beach since 2022 sit on pilings, with parking, storage and laundry space on the ground level below the living floor. That layout means a fire often starts underneath the house and sends smoke straight up through the floor system.
Garage and Under-Home Storage Fire Cleanup
Garage fire cleanup under an elevated Fort Myers Beach home usually involves golf carts, generators, kayaks and beach gear packed into the enclosed space below the flood line.
Those enclosures often use breakaway walls, which burn and break apart quickly once a fire takes hold.
Our crew clears burned materials from the ground level first.
Technicians then check the underside of the floor framing for heat damage before cleaning soot from the living space above.
Structural Fire Damage Repair to Pilings and Floor Framing
Structural fire damage repair on an elevated home starts with the pilings, beams and floor framing that hold everything above the surge line.
Heat from a fire below can weaken connections that the home relies on during the next storm.
Trusted Cape Coral Fire Damage brings in a licensed engineer to evaluate any charred structural members.
Repairs then follow that engineer’s specifications before any interior work begins.
Vacation Rental Fire Cleanup Between Bookings on Fort Myers Beach
About 67.2% of Fort Myers Beach housing units sat vacant in the 2020 census, and many of them work as vacation rentals for most of the year. A grill flare-up or kitchen fire during a guest stay puts the next reservations at risk, so rental managers need a fast, documented cleanup.
Trusted Cape Coral Fire Damage handles vacation rental fire cleanup with:
- Same-visit house fire cleanup and smoke odor removal services scheduled around upcoming check-ins
- Photo documentation of every room for the owner, the insurer and the rental platform
- Kitchen fire damage repair and appliance replacement coordinated with the property manager
- A final odor walkthrough before the unit goes back on the calendar
Restaurant and Hotel Fire Damage Restoration Along Estero Boulevard
Estero Boulevard and the rebuilding Times Square district hold most of the island’s restaurants, bars and hotels. Big events like the American Sand Sculpting Championship, which draws nearly 47,000 visitors, leave little room for a business to close.
Beachfront Bar and Restaurant Grease Fire Cleanup
Grease fire cleanup in Fort Myers Beach restaurants covers hoods, fryers, walls and the open-air dining areas common along the beach. Salt air combines with greasy soot to create a sticky film that spreads fast across ceilings and fans.
Our commercial crew degreases the kitchen first, then cleans dining rooms and outdoor seating so the restaurant reopens as quickly as the inspection allows.
Hotel Fire Damage Restoration During Festival Season
Hotel fire damage restoration on the island often lands during peak periods like the Shrimp Festival or the winter tourist season.
Our technicians isolate damaged rooms and clean smoke from corridors and stairwells at night, when guests are asleep.
Each room goes back into service only after a fresh odor check.
Commercial Fire Debris Removal on the San Carlos Island Waterfront
Just across Matanzas Pass, the working waterfront on San Carlos Island traces back to the 1950s discovery of pink shrimp, the “pink gold” that built the local fishing industry. The Blessing of the Shrimp Fleet has taken place every year since 1952, and docks, net sheds and seafood buildings line the channel today.
Trusted Cape Coral Fire Damage handles commercial fire debris removal and commercial soot cleanup for those waterfront businesses. Our crews keep debris and wash water out of the channel during cleanup.
Smoke Damage Cleaning After Fire in Salt Air on Estero Island
Acidic soot and salty Gulf air make a bad combination, since together they corrode metal fixtures, electronics and appliances faster than either one alone. Smoke damage cleaning after fire on Fort Myers Beach has to move quickly for that reason.
Our technicians clean fixtures, door hardware and railings within days of the fire. Fire damaged electronics restoration and HVAC smoke damage cleaning follow, with coastal AC units and coils getting a full rinse to slow corrosion.
Water Removal After Fire in Low-Lying Fort Myers Beach Homes
Fort Myers Beach sits about 3 feet above sea level, so firefighting water in an older ground-level cottage has nowhere to drain. Our crew starts water removal after fire right away, extracting standing water from tile and terrazzo floors.
Structural drying after fire follows with dehumidifiers and air movers. Technicians check moisture daily until walls and floors read dry.
Contents Pack Out After Fire for Island Owners
More than half of Fort Myers Beach residents are 65 or older, according to the 2020 census, and many live in smaller homes with little room to work around damaged belongings. Our contents team handles contents pack out after fire and moves salvageable items to climate-controlled storage on the mainland.
Smoke damaged clothing cleaning and fire damaged document restoration happen off the island. Cleaned belongings return once repairs wrap up.
Fire Damage Rebuilding Contractor Work Under Town of Fort Myers Beach Permits
The Town of Fort Myers Beach handles building permits on the island, and flood-zone rules shape the scope of many fire repairs.
Requirements depend on each property, so Trusted Cape Coral Fire Damage confirms them with the town before work starts on:
- Fire damaged roof repair on metal and shingle roofs built for Gulf winds
- Fire damaged drywall replacement and fire damaged cabinet replacement
- Electrical repairs after fire through licensed trades
- Fire damage restoration painting with coatings made for coastal exposure
Emergency Board Up and Roof Tarping After Fire on Fort Myers Beach
Gulf breezes push rain sideways through any opening a fire leaves behind. Our crews complete emergency board up after fire and roof tarping on the first visit, protecting the interior before the next afternoon storm rolls off the water.
