Structural and electrical repairs are performed under proper permits and inspected per Clayton, NJ code requirements.

The scope and price are locked in writing before demolition starts on any Fire Damage Repair repair job.
A question we hear often in Clayton is whether a general contractor can handle fire repair the same way they'd handle a standard renovation, and the honest answer is that fire repair carries structural and code considerations a typical remodel doesn't.
Heat-compromised framing can look structurally sound while having lost a meaningful percentage of its load-bearing strength, which a contractor without fire-specific training might not know to test for.
Some Clayton, NJ jurisdictions now specifically flag fire-related permit applications for additional structural review, and having that documentation ready from day one keeps the Fire Damage Repair project moving instead of stalling at the permit office.
We keep relationships with local Clayton building inspectors' offices to help schedule required inspections without the typical multi-week wait.
We reinforce or replace framing members based on measured structural loss, following standard sistering techniques where repair is possible.
