Put fire-damaged walls back after restoration work
Fire restoration can leave damaged board and finish to replace after the affected area is ready for drywall work. Without a clear handoff, board replacement and texture or paint preparation can be mixed into the restoration stage.
After the restoration provider clears the remaining work area, Solis repairs the drywall and carries the wall through texture and paint preparation as needed. Keeping that work with the post-restoration phase gives the room a clear path back to finished walls.

Start with the restoration handoff
Fire, smoke and the water used to put it out damage walls and ceilings in different ways. We start after the restoration company has done the work that comes before rebuilding. Tell us which rooms are released, what's been removed and whether another trade still needs access. Cleanup and fire restoration aren't part of our quote.
Replace damaged board and rebuild the finish
Panels with burned edges or damaged joints get replaced, and smaller damage can be repaired in place. We follow the damaged board, which isn't always the same as the discoloration. New joints are taped and feathered into the plane around them and prepared for texture or a smooth finish, room by room.
Name the coating work separately
Rebuilding drywall doesn't include stain sealing, odor treatment or repainting rooms that weren't rebuilt, and those questions go to the restoration company. We say whether we stop at a surface ready for paint, add texture or paint a full wall or ceiling.
Rated walls in the rebuild
If a damaged wall or ceiling was part of a fire-rated assembly, such as the wall between a garage and the house, we rebuild it to the approved detail. Send the restoration release, the rooms affected and the finish you want back.
