Veteran Restoration was a pleasure to deal with! The response time was immediate and water mitigation began within hours of my call. They were a one stop shop, handling the claim, demo, rebuild and dealing with the insurance adjuster. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of their services.

When our home flooded, Veteran Restoration was there within a few hours and worked tirelessly for over a week to dry our home out. They found all the wet areas through their careful demolition, then made sure it was all dry. They were excellent to work with, always on time and professional. We strongly recommend Veteran Restoration

I highly recommend this Veteran owned company. We had a condensation issue on the 11 A/C vents in our house. They removed, cleaned and treated the drywall and it looks like new. Very pleasant experience ☺️

The last bad storm that blew through the area ended up ripping off some of my shingles allowing water to seep into my bathroom causing water damage to the ceiling. I called Steve immediately to see if he could help me out. Steve along with his crew was at my home within an house assessing and fixing my problem. Steve personally followed up to make sure I was pleased with the service. Veteran Restoration is a top notch company. They aren’t some type of fly by night company. They are the real deal and they really care. I am behind pleased with the level of professionalism and character. If I have any needs in the future no doubt I will be calling them!!!

Veterans Restoration came to our rescue after Hurricane Ian in Fort Myers, Florida. We were at a loss about what to do. When we met the owner of Veteran we were immediately comfortable with the company and their plans to dry our house. It was a big job- lots of water. Within 3 days after job commencement they were putting in the fans for drying. We now have a dry house and can commence reconstruction. The entire Veteran team of 10+ worked together to save what we could and carried out what we couldn’t save all while doing the prep for drying. The technology they use and their ability to work with insurance company was amazing and put our minds at ease. They even provided assistance to the contractor for the rebuild and worked with the insurance adjuster. Thanks to all on the Veteran team.

When the big names were nowhere to be found, Veterans Restoration came all the way from Texas to my rescue. Hurricane Ian flooded my house and Jeeps. I was totally overwhelmed. Steve, Mike and their crew came in and sprang into action. I am so thankful for their incredibly professional and fast help!

I was hit hard by Hurricane Laura. After cleaning up most of the debris, a friend suggested I contact Steve at Veteran Restoration. Steve drove all the way down from Dallas, helped finish tarping up my roof which he didn't have to do, and went to work quickly doing demo, drying and dehumidifying, and finally spraying antimicrobial on my home. The work they had done was extremely thorough, efficient, and professional. Then, a second hurricane, Hurricane Delta hit. Without hesitation, the team was back in action drying my home again.Their dedication in the Cameron Parish and Lake Charles, Louisiana areas was remarkable. In the end, with the estimates they wrote, we were able to max out our insurance claim and build much stronger than before. They stayed in contact, pushing the insurance company to pay out the ENTIRE TIME until it happened. If you have water damage from a broken line or a major storm, do yourself a favor and eliminate any hassle with insurance. Use this business and it will be much easier and save you a ton of headache. I heard many people say they don't need it and just dried their houses with fans, and now have mold inside their walls. Many thanks to Steve, Sean, and the Veteran Restoration team for saving my home and my sanity.

F.A.Q.

Why choose Veteran Restoration instead of a large national restoration chain?

Local, independent restoration companies like Veteran Restoration provide direct, experienced oversight on every job. With over a decade of hands-on restoration and insurance experience, our team is personally involved from start to finish. Unlike large chains that often rely on standardized processes and changing crews, we focus on accountability, proper restoration, and personalized service — because our reputation is built right here in the community.

How quickly can you respond after a fire?

We provide 24/7 emergency fire damage response and can typically be on-site within 60 minutes of your call. Fast action is critical to secure the property, prevent further damage, and begin mitigation as soon as it’s safe.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes. We work with all major insurance carriers and help guide homeowners through the claims process. We provide:

  • Detailed damage documentation

  • Moisture readings

  • Photos and reports insurers require

Our role is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible while advocating for proper restoration.

Can smoke damage my home even if the fire was small?

Yes. Smoke and soot can travel throughout the home, affecting walls, ceilings, insulation, HVAC systems, and personal belongings — even when flames are limited to one area.

Proper smoke remediation is essential to prevent odors, corrosion, and long-term air quality issues.

Is fire damage restoration covered by insurance?

Most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage, smoke damage, and related losses. Coverage details depend on your specific policy.

We help document the damage, provide required reports, and work directly with your insurance carrier to support the claims process.

How long does fire damage restoration take?

Timelines vary based on:

  • Extent of fire and smoke damage

  • Structural impact

  • Required cleaning and repairs

Initial mitigation often begins immediately, while full restoration can take several weeks depending on the scope of work.

Can you remove smoke odors completely?

Yes. We use professional deodorization methods such as:

  • HEPA air filtration

  • Thermal fogging

  • Ozone or hydroxyl treatments (when appropriate)

These techniques eliminate odors at the source rather than masking them.

When should I call a fire damage restoration professional?

As soon as the fire department clears the property. Early professional intervention can prevent additional damage, reduce restoration time, and improve insurance outcomes.
