A kitchen fire in Park Slope or an electrical short in a Bushwick walk-up leaves behind more than charred walls. You get smoke that works its way into every fabric, soot that etches into drywall and hardwoods, and water from the fire department’s hoses pooling where you can’t see it. Since 2005, Keegan Restoration Brooklyn has been part of the Garrison Partners family, running every Fire Damage Restoration - Brooklyn job to The Garrison Standard: a written price before any work begins, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a full-year written guarantee. Call (607) 325-7185 now. A live person answers 24/7, and we dispatch to every corner of Brooklyn, from Fort Greene to Canarsie.
Fire Damage Restoration Company
Fire Damage Restoration Company work begins the moment the flames are out and the property is safe to enter. Keegan Restoration Brooklyn provides board-up, structural assessment, water extraction from fire suppression, smoke and soot mitigation, and full rebuild coordination. Fire damage repair in Brooklyn typically runs $3,500 to $12,000 depending on square footage and how far smoke traveled through the HVAC system. We photograph every surface, document the scope of loss, and format the file to support your insurance claim so the adjuster sees exactly what we see.
Structural Triage
Before any cleaning starts, our technicians check load-bearing framing, electrical runs, and subfloor integrity. Charred wood isn’t always obvious to the eye; we probe it. If the framing is compromised, you know in writing before a single wall is opened further.
Insurance Documentation
We photograph the loss, inventory damaged contents, and document the drying plan in a format adjusters recognize. The goal is simple: when your claim moves, the paperwork is already right.
Restoration work we handle
Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke Damage Restoration addresses what fire leaves behind even in rooms the flames never touched. In Brooklyn’s row houses and prewar apartments, smoke travels through shared wall cavities, stairwells, and ductwork, leaving residue and odor that won’t air out. Keegan Restoration Brooklyn runs professional-grade air scrubbers and thermal fogging, then seals affected surfaces. Smoke damage restoration alone typically costs $2,000 to $6,500 in Brooklyn, depending on how many rooms took on smoke and whether HVAC ducting is involved.
Pressurized Smoke Migration
During a fire, the building becomes a pressure vessel. Warm smoke pushes into cold wall voids and ceiling bays. We map that migration path before we clean, because missing a void means the odor returns in three months.
Air Quality Reset
After surface cleaning, we run HEPA air scrubbers and replace HVAC filters to pull residual particulates from the air and ductwork. You breathe clean air the day we leave, not “eventually.”
Fire Damage Repair
Fire Damage Restoration - Rego Park and across Brooklyn means rebuilding what the fire destroyed: framing replacement, drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, and trim work. Keegan Restoration Brooklyn handles the entire repair scope under one written contract so you’re not coordinating three different crews. Structural fire repair in Brooklyn runs $6,000 to $25,000 for typical single-family homes and apartment units, with variable costs for custom millwork, older plaster walls, and code-mandated electrical updates common in neighborhoods like Red Hook and Fort Greene.
Code-Compliant Rebuild
Brooklyn’s older housing stock often triggers electrical and egress upgrades during a rebuild. We work to current New York City code, and the written scope includes every required upgrade before the first wall goes back up.
Material Matching
Prewar buildings in Brooklyn carry plaster, lath, and quarter-sawn oak that big-box materials can’t match. Our crews source period-appropriate materials so the repaired rooms don’t read as a patch.
Fire Damage Cleanup
Fire Damage Cleanup covers the initial removal of debris, charred materials, and standing water from fire suppression. Keegan Restoration Brooklyn arrives with the right gear: water extractors from Injectidry, XPOWER air movers, and B-Air scrubbers, all operated to IICRC standards. Basic fire cleanup in Brooklyn runs $1,800 to $5,500, with larger losses where structural demolition is needed running higher. Every cleanup starts with demolition of unsalvageable materials so we can see the actual damage underneath.
Water Removal First
Fire hoses can dump hundreds of gallons into a structure. Within the first hour, our crews extract standing water and set drying equipment. Dry first, clean second; that order keeps mold out of the equation.
Debris and Disposal
We haul away charred contents, broken glass, and fire-retardant residue. The site is left clean enough that you can walk through it without boots when we’re done with the phase.
Smoke Odor Removal
Smoke Odor Removal is not air freshener. It’s a two-part process: removing the source of the odor and then treating the air and surfaces. Keegan Restoration Brooklyn uses thermal fogging and ozone treatment in sealed rooms to neutralize odor molecules that have embedded in drywall, textiles, and wood grain. Smoke odor removal in Brooklyn typically costs $1,200 to $4,000 depending on the size of the affected area and whether contents like clothing and upholstery need treatment.
Source Elimination
If soot sits behind a baseboard or inside a light fixture, no fogging will fix it. We remove the residue first, then treat the room. Odor comes back when the source remains; we don’t leave sources behind.
Textile and Content Treatment
Clothing, curtains, and furniture can hold smoke or years if not properly cleaned. We itemize affected contents and run them through appropriate cleaning, documenting every item for your insurance claim.
Fire and Water Damage Restoration
Fire Damage Restoration in Elmhurst and throughout Brooklyn often involves fire and water damage together - that’s the reality of most local fire losses. The fire damages one part of the home; the water from suppression damages everything else. Keegan Restoration Brooklyn coordinates both scopes under one project plan: extraction and drying first, soot and smoke removal second, structural repair last. Combined fire and water restoration in Brooklyn commonly runs $8,000 to $30,000 depending on the extent of water spread and how many rooms need rebuilding.
Drying Before Rebuild
You can’t hang drywall over wet framing. We measure moisture content in wood and masonry with professional meters and won’t sign off on rebuild until the numbers say it’s dry. No shortcuts, no hidden rot.
One Crew, One Contract
When fire and water damage overlap, coordination is where most projects go wrong. Keegan runs both scopes with the same crew and one written price, so there’s no finger-pointing between a water company and a fire company.

AfterSoot Removal
Soot Removal is the careful removal of fine carbon particles that settle on every horizontal and vertical surface after a fire. Soot is acidic and corrosive; left on metal, it rusts it. Left on marble, it etches it. Keegan Restoration Brooklyn uses dry chemical sponges on non-washable surfaces and professional-grade cleaning agents on washable ones, working top to bottom with HEPA vacuuming between passes. Soot removal in Brooklyn runs $1,500 to $5,000, with larger jobs involving high ceilings or extensive duct work running higher.
Acidic Soot Chemistry
Soot from synthetic materials like carpet and foam is more acidic than wood smoke. That acidity attacks finishes fast. Our crews identify the soot type and choose the cleaning method accordingly, because a latex-glove wipe can smear and set the stain permanently.
HVAC Impact
Fire soot pulls through return vents and coats the inside of your ductwork. When the heat or AC kicks on, it re-contaminates clean rooms. We inspect the HVAC system on every soot job and clean what needs cleaning.
How Much Does Fire Damage Restoration Cost in Brooklyn?
A small kitchen fire in a Brooklyn apartment might run $3,000 to $6,000 for cleanup, soot removal, and minor repair. A whole-floor fire in a brownstone with water damage and structural rebuild commonly lands between $15,000 and $40,000. What moves the number: square footage, smoke migration through ductwork, whether framing is charred, and whether contents need cleaning or disposal. The biggest variable is whether the fire was caught early or burned long enough to compromise structure. A detailed written estimate from Keegan Restoration Brooklyn includes all line items upfront: labor, equipment, disposal, materials, and the rebuild scope. You’ll see the price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t move at the door. Call (607) 325-7185 for a free, no-obligation estimate.
