Fire Restoration Toronto Trusts
From fire and smoke back to home
A fire is overwhelming, and the damage doesn't stop when the flames are out. Smoke travels far beyond the burn, soot is acidic and keeps etching surfaces the longer it sits, and the smell works its way into drywall, insulation and ductwork. Famous Pro Painters responds across Toronto and the GTA from our base in Etobicoke. We handle smoke and soot cleanup, odour removal, and the full rebuild afterwards, so you deal with one team rather than a cleanup company, a contractor and a painter who each blame the other.
Because one team handles cleanup and the rebuild, you're not left coordinating between trades while you're also dealing with an insurer, a temporary address and everything else a fire brings. We document the damage thoroughly with photographs and detailed notes so your claim has what it needs. We clean and seal before we rebuild, because painting over soot residue traps the smell in the wall permanently. And we finish the repairs properly, so the room doesn't just work again, it looks like nothing happened.
A few things we won't do. We won't paint over soot to make a room look finished faster, because the odour comes back through the paint within weeks and the job has to be redone. We won't rush a job back into use before the odour is genuinely resolved. And we won't tell you a timeline before we know how far the smoke actually travelled, which is usually further than it looks. Every fire restoration is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Common Questions
Fire restoration FAQs
How fast can you respond after a fire?
We respond as quickly as possible, because acting fast limits secondary damage from soot and moisture. Call (647) 272-1983 and we'll get to you.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes, we document the damage thoroughly and work alongside your insurer to support the claim.
Can you really remove smoke odour?
Yes, we treat odour at the source through cleaning, sealing and specialized treatment, rather than just masking it, so the smell doesn't linger.
Do you rebuild, or only clean up?
Both, we carry the job through to full repairs: drywall, trim, flooring and paint, so you have one team from the emergency to a finished, restored home.
How long does fire restoration take?
It depends on the extent of the damage, cleanup can be quick, while a larger rebuild takes longer. We give you a clear plan and timeline after the assessment.
Are you insured and certified?
We're fully licensed and insured, and follow proper restoration practices. Every repair is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
How much does smoke damage restoration cost?
It depends on how far the smoke travelled, which is almost always further than the visible damage suggests, and on whether contents and ductwork are affected as well as surfaces. A single scorched room is a different job from a whole floor that smells of smoke. Most fire and smoke damage is covered by home insurance, so for many homeowners the real number is the deductible. We provide a free assessment and document everything for your claim.
What does smoke damage cleanup actually involve?
First we contain the area so soot isn't tracked through the rest of the house. Then we clean surfaces with the right method for each material, because soot on painted drywall, brick and fabric all behave differently. We treat for odour rather than mask it, seal surfaces that will be painted, and only then rebuild. Skipping the sealing step is the single most common reason a smell comes back.
Can you get the smoke smell out completely?
In the great majority of cases, yes, but only if the source is properly removed rather than covered. Odour hides in porous materials: drywall, insulation, carpet underlay and ductwork. That's why we clean, treat and seal, and why we replace materials that have absorbed too much to be salvaged. Air fresheners and a coat of paint won't do it.
Do you work with insurance companies?
We document the damage with photographs, notes and a detailed scope so your adjuster has what they need, and we're happy to speak with them directly. You still deal with your own insurer, but our job is to make sure nothing gets missed in the scope that you end up paying for yourself later.
How fast can you respond after a fire?
As quickly as we can get to you, and speed genuinely matters here. Soot is acidic and keeps damaging surfaces the longer it sits, so metals corrode and finishes etch permanently within days. Call (647) 272-1983 and we'll arrange an assessment and start containment.
Do you repair the damage as well as clean it?
Yes, and that's the main difference between us and a cleanup-only company. We take the job through drywall, flooring, trim and paint back to a finished room. One team, one point of contact, from the first assessment through to the last coat.
Is smoke damage covered by insurance?
In most home policies, fire and the smoke and soot damage that follows are covered, including damage in rooms the fire never reached. Your deductible and limits decide what you pay. We document the full scope carefully so nothing gets left out of the claim and quietly becomes your bill later.
Do you clean contents and belongings too?
Our focus is the building itself: surfaces, structure, finishes and odour. Where specialist contents cleaning is needed for furniture, textiles or electronics, we'll tell you that plainly rather than pretend a wipe-down will do it, and we'll work around it.
What should I do first after a fire?
Once the fire service says the building is safe, don't start cleaning soot yourself. Wiping it can drive it deeper into paint and fabric and make the damage permanent. Photograph everything for your insurer, keep anything you think is damaged, and call us at (647) 272-1983. The faster containment starts, the less secondary damage you pay for later.
Do you handle mould that shows up after a fire?
Often we do, and it's more common than people expect. Firefighting puts a lot of water into a building, and if that sits, mould follows within days. We check for it while we're assessing smoke and soot, contain and remove what's there, fix the moisture behind it, then rebuild. Handling both at once is faster and cheaper than treating them as two separate jobs.
