Fast, Reliable Fire Damage Restoration Across Staten Island
Fire damage restoration in Staten Island typically costs between $3,500 and $15,000 for full-service recovery, with emergency board-up and stabilization starting around $800 – $1,400. Most Staten Island homeowners see our crew on-site within 60 – 90 minutes when dispatched from our New York City coordination office.
We know the difference between a kitchen flare-up in a Tottenville cape and a basement electrical fire in a St. George brownstone. Staten Island’s housing stock spans pre-war brick rows near the ferry terminal, mid-century ranches in Great Kills, and newer construction climbing the hills above the Verrazzano. Each era carries different fire risks: aging knob-and-tube in Port Richmond Victorians, polyurethane foam insulation in 1990s builds, and the salt-air corrosion that accelerates electrical degradation anywhere within a few blocks of the Narrows. When you’ve got smoke rolling through your second floor at 2 a.m., you need a crew that understands what your walls are made of and how fast the moisture from suppression will move through them.
Our phone is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (361) 317-7269 and we’ll get a team moving.

Staten Island homeowners have a particular skepticism toward contractors, and frankly, they’ve earned it. We don’t move the price at the door. We don’t send whoever is available. We show up inside the window we gave you, explain every step in plain language, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Code, and it’s how we work on every job.
Fire Damage Restoration Company in Staten Island
Fire Damage Restoration Company work in Staten Island means more than charred drywall and melted siding. It means addressing the water damage left by suppression efforts before mold takes hold in your Great Kills crawl space, which is why our Water Damage Restoration – Staten Island team moves fast to extract moisture and dry the structure, removing smoke odor that has bonded to the original plaster in your Stapleton brownstone, and documenting every damaged joist and outlet for your adjuster. A typical full fire damage restoration in Staten Island runs $3,500 – $15,000 depending on square footage, structural involvement, and whether the property requires content pack-out and off-site cleaning.
Our Fire Damage Restoration team handles everything from emergency board-up through final paint, with IICRC-standard protocols on every phase. We also coordinate directly with your insurance carrier, providing photo-documented scopes of loss formatted to their requirements.
Emergency Stabilization and Board-Up
The first hours after a fire are when most secondary damage happens. Rain enters through a burned roof in Westerleigh, or a compromised door in Arrochar invites vandalism. We secure the structure with plywood and weatherproofing, install temporary electrical where safe, and begin water extraction from suppression pools before they warp your subfloor.
Structural Assessment and Repair
Our technicians evaluate load-bearing members, electrical systems, and HVAC ductwork for hidden fire or heat damage. In Staten Island’s older housing stock, we often find compromised knob-and-tube wiring that must be replaced to current code, or lathe-and-plaster walls that require specialized drying to prevent further degradation.
Smoke Damage Restoration in Staten Island
Smoke Damage Restoration in Staten Island presents unique challenges because of the island’s dense housing and persistent humidity off the Atlantic. Smoke doesn’t stay where the fire was; it rides air currents through shared walls in row houses near the ferry, infiltrates HVAC systems in condominiums along Hylan Boulevard, and bonds with moisture to form acidic residues that etch glass and corrode metal over time. A typical smoke damage cleanup in Staten Island runs $2,000 – $6,500 for a single-family home, with odor removal and content cleaning at the higher end.
We deploy thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generation depending on the smoke type: wet smoke from slow-burning plastics, dry smoke from fast-burning wood, or protein residue from kitchen fires that leaves nearly invisible but pungent films. Our Staten Island crews are trained to identify which residue they’re dealing with before selecting the treatment, because the wrong approach can set the odor permanently.
Odor Neutralization Technology
Our equipment roster includes Dri-Eaz and Phoenix air scrubbers with activated carbon filtration, plus thermal foggers that penetrate the same pathways the smoke took. For deep-set odor in porous materials like unfinished basement concrete or original hardwood, we use Injectidry systems to deliver neutralizing agents through the material itself.
Content Cleaning and Pack-Out
Smoke-damaged belongings don’t automatically belong in a dumpster. We inventory, photograph, and transport salvageable items to our facility for ultrasonic cleaning, deodorization chamber treatment, and textile restoration. Everything is documented for your insurance claim with before-and-after condition reports.
Trusted Brands We Service in Staten Island
We stock local inventory for fast turnaround on the equipment brands that matter in professional restoration: Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and air movers, Phoenix desiccant systems for large-loss commercial jobs, and XPOWER axial fans for rapid air circulation in tight Staten Island basements and attics. Our Injectidry systems handle hardwood floor drying and in-wall cavity injection without destructive tear-out. Every machine is operated to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, and we maintain backup inventory so a equipment failure never delays your job. When a nor’easter hits and half the island loses power, our generator-ready fleet keeps running.
Common Fire Damage Restoration Problems We See in Staten Island Homes
- Knob-and-tube wiring in pre-1940s housing. Neighborhoods like Port Richmond and Stapleton have thousands of homes with original electrical systems that were never designed for modern loads. Overheating at connections is a leading fire cause, and restoration must include full rewiring to current NYC code before occupancy is restored.
- Salt-air corrosion of electrical components. Homes within a few blocks of the Narrows or along the Arthur Kill face accelerated degradation of outdoor panels, meter bases, and conduit connections. We inspect these systems during every fire restoration because the corrosion that contributed to the fire often extends beyond the visible damage.
- Polyurethane foam insulation in 1980s – 1990s construction. When this material burns, it produces dense, toxic smoke that penetrates every cavity. Smoke damage restoration in these homes requires more extensive demolition and longer deodorization cycles than in older homes with fiberglass or mineral wool.
- Shared wall smoke migration in row houses and attached homes. In dense neighborhoods near the ferry terminal, a fire in one unit can contaminate three adjacent properties through attic bypasses and wall cavities. We use blower door testing and thermal imaging to trace every pathway before declaring a structure clean.
