A charred kitchen, smoke in the bedrooms down the hall or burned contents to haul away: pick what the fire left behind in your Houston home or business.
How we handle fire damage restoration in Houston
1We board up and tarp the building
If the fire blew out windows or burned a hole in the roof, the building gets boarded up and tarped. In 2024 a derecho with gusts estimated near 100 mph blew out windows in downtown Houston, and a building left open after a fire faces the next storm the same way.
2We clean the smoke and soot
About 44 percent of Houston homes sit in buildings of five or more units, where smoke can travel through shared walls, attics and hallways. We clean the soot, remove the smoke odor and deodorize every room the smoke got into.
3We pack out your belongings and handle the rebuild
Your belongings get packed out, cleaned and stored while we work, and they come back at the end. Fire debris removal clears what burned, structure cleaning comes next, and the rebuild finishes the job.

Why Houston homeowners hire us for fire damage restoration
We answer the phone 24/7
A person answers our phone 24/7, whatever the hour of the fire. The Houston Fire Department covers 654 square miles from 94 stations, and once its trucks leave, the cleanup falls to the owner.
We give you a free estimate with no obligation
You pay nothing for the estimate, and you are not bound to hire us. Our record of the loss holds photos, moisture readings and an itemized scope, showing what burned and which rooms the smoke and the hose water reached.
We work with all insurance companies
More than half of Houston homes are rented, so the building and the belongings in it often sit on two separate policies. We talk with your insurance company, share that record and walk you through ACV, RCV and depreciation in plain terms.

“We suffered a small fire in our house alittle over a week ago, Watchtower came to the house and talked to us about repair. The person that came out Michael Sullivan ( Sully) was not pressuring us and explained every step. What really sold me was that Sully kept in contact with us and didn't pressure us into signing an agreement. Josh was more than helpful and also made the ordeal bearable. Sully is truly an asset to the company. Since this a work in progress there will be more to follow at a later time”

Common questions about fire damage in Houston
Plain answers about the work, the estimate and your insurance.
When is it safe to go back inside my Houston home after a fire?
Wait for the Houston Fire Department to clear the building. Soot settles on surfaces and stays in the air for a while, so anyone with asthma or another breathing problem may want to stay away until the cleaning is done. Check with your doctor.
I rent in Houston. Whose insurance covers the fire damage?
It depends on who holds which policy. Usually the owner's policy pays for the structure, while a renters policy may pay for the tenant's own things. We can help with your insurance questions, and we talk with your insurance company and with the landlord's insurance company too. Each insurance company decides what its policy covers.
Is a free estimate in Houston a commitment?
No. There is no charge and no obligation. We look at the damage, write an itemized scope and leave the decision with you.
Will you talk with my insurance company about the fire in Houston?
Yes. We talk with your insurance company and send the photos, readings and scope we made on our first visit.
Do your technicians speak Spanish?
Yes. Our technicians speak English and Spanish, and we can take the tenant and the landlord through the same scope in either language.
Does the Houston Fire Department install smoke alarms?
Yes. The Houston Fire Department offers smoke alarm installations for residents at no cost, and visual alarms for residents with hearing loss. It also advises closing the bedroom door before sleep to slow a fire's spread. If a fire does happen, we board up the openings and handle the soot cleanup and smoke odor removal.
The fire was in another unit of my Houston building. Can smoke reach my home?
Yes. Smoke can travel through shared walls, attics and hallways into homes the fire never touched. We check each room for soot and smoke odor and record it in photos and an itemized scope. That record helps when the building and your belongings sit on separate policies.
