TRUSTED RESTORATION
Structural Assessment and Fire Damage Restoration Planning
Effective fire damage restoration begins with a thorough and methodical assessment of the affected property. Every fire impacts a structure differently, which is why Foothills Construction & Restoration starts each project with a detailed evaluation to determine the full extent of damage and the safest path forward.
Our team carefully examines the structural integrity of the building, looking beyond surface damage to identify compromised framing, weakened supports, heat-damaged materials, and areas affected by smoke and soot infiltration. We also evaluate electrical systems, insulation, and other critical components to identify potential safety hazards that may not be immediately visible.
During the assessment process, we focus on understanding how the fire and smoke affected the property as a whole. This allows us to determine what materials can be safely restored, what must be removed, and what areas require repair or reconstruction. By addressing both visible and hidden damage early, we help prevent future issues and ensure the restoration is completed correctly.
This planning phase allows us to:
Identify structural concerns and safety risks
Document all fire- and smoke-related damage
Develop a clear, step-by-step restoration plan
Coordinate cleanup, repairs, and reconstruction efficiently
Set realistic timelines and expectations
Clear communication is a priority throughout the planning process. We take the time to explain our findings, outline recommended solutions, and answer questions so property owners understand what to expect at each stage of restoration.
Our goal is to provide clarity and confidence during a challenging time by delivering a well-organized restoration plan that prioritizes safety, quality, and long-term durability.
RESTORATION PREPARATION
Coordinated Restoration and Reconstruction Services
Fire damage restoration often extends far beyond smoke and soot cleanup. Structural repairs, material replacement, and full reconstruction are frequently required to return a property to a safe and livable condition. Foothills Construction & Restoration provides coordinated restoration and reconstruction services so property owners can work with a single, trusted company from the initial emergency response through final repairs.
By managing both restoration and reconstruction in-house, we eliminate the need for multiple contractors and reduce delays caused by handoffs between companies. Our team oversees the entire process, ensuring continuity, accountability, and consistent quality at every stage.
Our coordinated approach allows us to:
Transition seamlessly from mitigation to reconstruction
Address structural, mechanical, and cosmetic repairs efficiently
Maintain clear communication throughout the project
Reduce downtime and unnecessary costs
Because Foothills Construction & Restoration is also an experienced construction company, we are able to rebuild damaged areas with precision and attention to detail. Repairs are completed using quality materials and skilled craftsmanship while complying with local building codes and safety standards.
From framing and drywall to flooring, cabinetry, and finishing work, our goal is to restore not only the function of your property, but also its comfort, appearance, and long-term value. Property owners benefit from a streamlined experience and the confidence that comes from knowing every phase of restoration and reconstruction is handled by professionals who are invested in the final result.

Fire damage restoration frequently involves insurance claims that can be complex and time-consuming. Foothills Construction & Restoration works closely with insurance companies to document damage, communicate with adjusters, and ensure restoration work aligns with policy requirements.
