Once the soot is gone and the structure is dry, you can finally see what the fire actually took. A hole in the roof. Framing burned back to charcoal. Floors buckled from the water, walls opened up, a kitchen gutted to the studs. Cleaning got the home stable. Reconstruction is what makes it a home again.
This is the stage where fragmented projects fall apart. When the demolition crew, the framer, the roofer, and the drywall team all answer to different companies, the gaps between them become your problem: missed damage, finger-pointing, and a rebuild that drags for months while you pay to live somewhere else. Fire framing also hides its wounds. Char that looks cosmetic can mean a compromised load-bearing member, and that is not a place for guesswork.
We rebuild fire-damaged Atlanta homes with the same team that secured and cleaned them, so nothing is lost in the handoff. From structural framing and roofing to drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and paint, we take your home back to its pre-fire condition, permitted and inspected. Call (866) 688-0301 to walk through your rebuild.
When a Fire Calls for Reconstruction
Some fires leave cosmetic repairs, and others require rebuilding. If any of these describe your home, you are looking at reconstruction, not just cleanup.
- Burned, charred, or structurally weakened framing
- Roof damage, holes, or sections lost to fire or firefighter access
- Drywall and insulation removed or destroyed by fire or water
- Buckled, warped, or scorched flooring and subfloor
- A kitchen or bathroom gutted down to the studs
- Rooms opened up during cleanup that now need to be closed back in
What our fire damage reconstruction includes
Reconstruction covers everything from the studs out, under one contract.
- Structural framing repair and replacement
- Roofing, sheathing, and exterior wall rebuilds
- Drywall installation, taping, and finishing
- Flooring and subfloor replacement
- Kitchen and bathroom rebuilds
- Electrical and plumbing repair coordination
- Trim, cabinetry, painting, and fixtures
- Permit handling and code inspections
- Direct coordination and billing with your insurer
Our process
Reconstruction moves from structure outward to finishes, in the order a home is actually built.
- 1
Rebuild assessment and scope
We evaluate the structural and cosmetic damage, define exactly what needs rebuilding, and prepare a detailed scope your insurer can review.
- 2
Permits and planning
We pull the permits the work requires and schedule the trades so the rebuild runs in the right sequence instead of stalling.
- 3
Structural framing
We repair or replace burned framing, load-bearing members, and subfloor, restoring the bones of the house to code.
- 4
Roofing and exterior
We rebuild damaged roofing, sheathing, and exterior walls so the home is sealed and weathertight again.
- 5
Drywall, flooring, and systems
We hang and finish drywall, install flooring, and coordinate electrical and plumbing repairs behind the walls before they close.
- 6
Finishes and fixtures
We handle cabinetry, trim, paint, and fixtures, matching your home's original finishes as closely as possible.
- 7
Final inspection
We pass the required inspections and walk the finished home with you to confirm every item on the scope is complete.

Rebuilding to Atlanta and Fulton County Code
Rebuilding after a fire is not just putting the house back the way it was. Repairs above a certain scope have to meet current building code, and in Atlanta that means permits and inspections through the city or, outside city limits, through Fulton or DeKalb County. We handle that process so your rebuild is legal, inspected, and clean when you sell or refinance later.
Atlanta's older housing adds wrinkles worth planning for. A fire in a 1920s Grant Park bungalow is a chance to bring knob-and-tube wiring and outdated systems up to modern standards while the walls are already open, which many insurers will cover as part of the loss. Historic districts like Inman Park and Druid Hills also carry design guidelines that affect exterior work, and we build with those in mind.
One team from board-up to final inspection is the practical advantage. The crew that tarped your roof and dried your framing already knows the home, so the rebuild is not starting from a stranger's notes. That continuity is what keeps an Atlanta fire rebuild moving instead of stalling between contractors.
What affects the cost
Reconstruction is the largest and most variable part of a fire loss, since it depends entirely on how much has to be rebuilt. National fire repair runs roughly $4 to $7 per square foot for general work, with labor making up 50 to 70 percent of the cost and full structural rebuilds climbing well beyond that.
