Kitchen Fire Rebuild

Kitchen Fire Rebuild at 26550 Deep Creek Blvd, Punta Gorda, FL 33983

A grease fire in this Deep Creek block home, across the Peace River from downtown Punta Gorda, burned through the upper cabinets and scorched the ceiling above the range. Our crew gutted the kitchen to the block, sealed the ceiling joists with a shellac-based primer and cleaned smoke from the rest of the house. The new Shaker cabinets went in painted to match the existing trim, along with a quartz top and a vented hood. The owners had worried a rebuilt kitchen would look out of place, so the final walkthrough was a happy one.

Turnaround time: 5 weeks

Price: $21,000

Fireplace Smoke Cleanup

Fireplace Smoke Cleanup at 4000 Bal Harbor Blvd #317, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

A blocked flue sent smoke back into the living room of this Spinnaker Point condo, about a mile from St. Andrews South Golf Club, the first time the owners lit the fireplace that winter. Soot settled into the crown molding, the carpet and every louver of the plantation shutters. Our technicians took each shutter panel down and hand cleaned the louvers one by one. Then they cleaned the crown molding with dry sponges and hot water extracted the carpet. A chimney sweep cleared the flue before the owners used it again.

Turnaround time: 4 days

Price: $4,600

Outdoor Kitchen Fire Cleanup

Outdoor Kitchen Fire Cleanup at 325 Segovia Dr, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

Grease caught fire under the grill in the screened outdoor kitchen of this 2016 Burnt Store Isles home, melting part of the pool cage and dusting the saltwater pool with ash. Smoke also drifted through the sliders into the great room. Our crew rescreened the cage, soft washed the stucco and tile roof, and cleaned the great room before the pool service balanced the water. Runoff stayed out of the canal that leads to Charlotte Harbor through Alligator Creek, so the dock and boat lift came through untouched.

Turnaround time: 5 days

Price: $3,100

Dock Fire Cleanup

Dock Fire Cleanup at 1506 Casey Key Dr, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

A shorted boat lift motor at this Punta Gorda Isles canal home burned the boat cover and several dock boards, and smoke rolled across the pool cage. Charred decking was drifting toward the extra-wide canal when our crew arrived, so pulling it out of the water came first. After the burned boards were hauled away, the crew cleaned soot from the lanai, screens and rear wall. The owners were relieved to see the canal clear by the end of day one, and the boat was back on the rewired lift before the next weekend.


Turnaround time: 6 days

Price: $2,300

Fire Damage Restoration Across Punta Gorda Neighborhoods

Punta Gorda’s neighborhoods grew in very different eras, and a fire in each one plays out differently. Trusted Cape Coral Fire Damage plans every job around the age, construction and setting of the home.

Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles Canal Homes

Residential fire damage restoration in Punta Gorda Isles starts with the setting, since developers dredged its canals 100 feet wide and 17 feet deep beginning in 1959 to give every lot Gulf access.

Fires here often start on lanais, in garages or near boat lifts and dock power pedestals.

Our crews handle garage fire cleanup and exterior fire cleanup on docks and pool cages. Debris and wash water stay out of the canal throughout the job.

The Historic Punta Gorda Residential District

House fire damage repair in the Punta Gorda Residential District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, means working with old wood framing, plaster walls and original trim.

Wood-frame homes from the early 1900s burn faster than block construction, and paint from before 1978 calls for EPA lead-safe practices during tear-out.

Our carpenters match original trim profiles by hand. Owners also get guidance on any historic district review the city may require before exterior changes.

Deep Creek and Suncoast Lakes North of the Peace River

Kitchen fire cleanup and appliance fire damage cleanup make up much of the work in Deep Creek and Suncoast Lakes, the newer Punta Gorda neighborhoods north of the Peace River.

Single-story block homes there keep fires contained, but smoke spreads through open floor plans fast.

Our technicians clean soot from cabinets, walls and ceilings across the whole living area.

Kitchen fire damage repair follows once the cleaning wraps up.

Commercial Fire Damage Restoration Downtown and at Fishermen’s Village

Downtown Punta Gorda blends historic commercial buildings like the H.W. Smith Building and the Old First National Bank with newer restaurants along the Harborwalk. Fishermen’s Village, built in the early 1980s on the site of the old Maud Street fishing docks, packs shops and restaurants onto a single waterfront pier.

Restaurant fire damage restoration in those spaces usually starts with grease fire cleanup in tight kitchens that share walls with neighbors. Trusted Cape Coral Fire Damage handles commercial soot cleanup and commercial smoke odor removal so neighboring shops keep their doors open.

Hotel Fire Damage Restoration Near Punta Gorda Airport and I-75

Punta Gorda Airport began as a World War II Army airfield and now carries scheduled flights from Allegiant Air and seasonal service from Sun Country Airlines. That traffic keeps hotels busy along US 17 near I-75 Exit 164.

Hotel fire damage restoration in those buildings works around guests, room by room and floor by floor. Our technicians handle smoke odor removal from carpets and upholstery so each room returns to service smelling clean.

Fire Damaged Document Restoration and Contents Care for Punta Gorda Households

Punta Gorda learned the value of saving paper records in 1928, when a hurricane damaged the roof of the Masonic Lodge then housing the city library and destroyed many of its books. Older households today keep wills, deeds, photo albums and military records that rarely exist anywhere else.

Our contents team handles fire damaged document restoration, contents pack out after fire and smoke damaged clothing cleaning. Furniture restoration after fire happens off site while the house gets repaired.

Lightning and Electrical Fire Damage Restoration in Punta Gorda’s Wet Season

June through September brings Punta Gorda more than 30 inches of rain combined, according to NOAA climate normals for Punta Gorda Airport, along with almost daily afternoon thunderstorms. Lightning strikes and storm-related power surges start attic and electrical fires across the city every summer.

Lightning fire damage restoration starts with tracing burned wiring and scorched trusses before any cleanup. A licensed electrician handles electrical repairs after fire, and our crew restores the rooms around them.

Firefighting Water Damage Cleanup and Structural Drying in Punta Gorda, FL

Punta Gorda sits about 7 feet above sea level, and firefighting water spreads quickly across slab floors and into rooms the fire never touched. Our technicians start water extraction after fire right away, then set dehumidifiers and air movers for structural drying after fire.

Trusted Cape Coral Fire Damage also holds a Florida mold remediation license, which covers any growth found behind wet baseboards and drywall.

Fire Damage Rebuilding Contractor Work Under City of Punta Gorda Permits

After Hurricane Charley, Punta Gorda rebuilt much of its downtown and waterfront to hurricane-resistant codes.

The City of Punta Gorda handles building permits inside city limits, and requirements depend on each project, so our project managers confirm them before work starts on:

  • Structural fire damage repair and house reconstruction after fire
  • Fire damaged roof repair on metal, tile and shingle roofs
  • Fire damaged drywall replacement and fire damaged cabinet replacement
  • Fire damage restoration painting matched to the original colors

Emergency Board Up and Roof Tarping After Fire in Punta Gorda, FL
