We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
Every Philmont job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Philmont, NY fire claims get partially denied.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Philmont homes.

Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

We'd rather put the guarantee on paper up front than have a disagreement about it once the job is finished.
Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Philmont inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
