    Fire & Smoke Damage Cleanup You Can Trust

    The damage doesn't stop when the fire is out.

    Smoke and soot keep working long after the flames are gone. Soot is oily and acidic – it eats into walls, metal, glass, and belongings within hours. Add the water used to put the fire out, and the damage spreads fast.

    DQ Renovations is a local Albany contractor that handles the full recovery: securing your property, removing smoke and soot, clearing the odor, drying out water, and rebuilding everything that was damaged. One team, from the first call to the final coat of paint.

    The DQ Renovations Difference

    One team for cleanup and the rebuild.

    Most restoration companies clean the smoke and soot, then hand you off to a contractor for repairs. That means more waiting, more quotes, and more stress during an already hard time. DQ Renovations does both – so your property is restored faster and the finished work matches end to end.

    Common Questions

    Fire damage restoration FAQ

    Fire damage is an emergency, so we respond as quickly as possible — often the same day. The first step is securing your property and stopping further damage from smoke, soot, and weather. Call our 24/7 line at (518) 614-6717 and we'll get moving right away.

    Yes. Smoke odor soaks deep into surfaces, so simply cleaning isn't enough. We use air scrubbers and professional deodorizing treatments that break down the smell at its source instead of just covering it up.

    Absolutely — this is what sets us apart. As a full renovation contractor, we handle both the cleanup and the rebuild. New drywall, flooring, trim, and paint are all done in-house, so you don't have to hire a separate company.

    Putting out a fire uses a lot of water from hoses or sprinklers. That water soaks into floors, walls, and belongings, and can grow mold within a day or two. We remove the water and dry everything as part of the restoration.

    Yes. We provide a no-obligation inspection and a clear, written estimate before any work begins — so you know exactly what's needed and what it costs.
