Why Garland Homeowners Choose Warrior Restoration

Old Wiring, Modern Fire Recovery

Garland is one of Texas's largest cities, with roughly 247,000 residents and a median home built all the way back in 1978 -- which means entire neighborhoods like Duck Creek, Camelot, and the blocks around Downtown Garland are still wired the way electricians did it decades before today's code, with aluminum branch circuits and panels never sized for modern appliance loads. Most restoration companies handle only the cleanup -- then hand you off to a general contractor for repairs. Warrior Restoration LLC does both in house. Owner Justin Miller runs a crew of 6 with 3 response trucks equipped for emergency board-up, soot removal, structural drying, content pack-out, and full reconstruction of drywall, paint, trim, and flooring. One call, one crew, one project from the day of the fire through move-in ready.

We carry a limited lifetime warranty on workmanship and on the equipment used. Owner-operated means Justin is personally accountable for every job -- not a franchise call center dispatching subcontractors.

What We Do

Our Comprehensive Fire Damage Services

Every service is performed in house by our IICRC-certified crew. No subcontracting, no hand-offs.

Emergency Board-Up and Tarping

We secure your property on day one -- boarding windows, doors, and roof breaches to stop weather intrusion and vandalism while restoration begins.

Soot Removal

Dry chemical sponges and HEPA vacuums lift soot from walls, ceilings, and contents before it etches surfaces permanently. Speed matters -- soot becomes harder to remove within 24 to 72 hours.

Smoke Odor Elimination

Thermal foggers and HEPA air scrubbers neutralize smoke particles at the source. Surface cleaning alone does not remove embedded odor from porous materials.

Content Cleaning and Pack-Out

Furniture, clothing, and personal items are inventoried, cleaned on site or packed out for off-site treatment, and returned fully catalogued.

Structural Drying

Firefighting water soaks structural materials fast. Industrial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers dry walls, subfloors, and framing to prevent mold growth in fire-affected areas.

HVAC and Air Duct Cleaning

We clean your air ducts and HVAC system -- not replace them. Smoke residue settles in ductwork within hours and will continue recirculating until professionally removed.

Reconstruction

Drywall, paint, trim, and flooring -- all handled in house by the same crew. No separate contractor to coordinate. Move-in ready from a single project.

Thermal Imaging Assessment

Calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras find hidden water and heat damage inside walls and ceilings that visual inspection misses.

How We Work

Inside a Fire Restoration Project

From the moment you call to the day you walk back into a restored home, every step follows a defined sequence. No surprises, no gaps.

Emergency Assessment

We arrive within 1 hour and assess structural integrity, smoke spread, and water from firefighting. Thermal imaging and moisture meters identify hidden damage before work begins.

Board-Up and Tarping

Windows, doors, and any roof breaches are secured immediately. Protecting the structure from weather and unauthorized entry is the first physical task on every fire job.

Soot and Smoke Removal

Chemical dry sponges, HEPA vacuums, and thermal foggers remove soot and smoke residue from all surfaces and neutralize odor particles throughout the structure, including ductwork.

Structural Drying

Industrial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers dry structural materials to certified drying standards, preventing mold growth from firefighting water.

Content Pack-Out

Salvageable furniture, clothing, and personal items are inventoried and cleaned. Items needing off-site treatment are packed out, catalogued, and stored until the home is ready.

Reconstruction

Our in-house crew replaces fire-damaged drywall, applies paint, installs trim and flooring. One company handles your home from emergency through move-in ready.

Insurance Claims

We Handle Your Insurance Claim from Start to Finish

Fire claims are complicated. Warrior Restoration handles the paperwork so you can focus on your family. Here is exactly how the process works when you use us:

  • We bill your insurance carrier directly. You do not write us a check. We work with your carrier's adjuster and submit the full scope of damage.
  • We meet adjusters on site. Justin walks the property with the adjuster to ensure hidden damage is documented before approval, not discovered afterward.
  • We file supplements. When work reveals damage not included in the original approval, we file supplements directly with your carrier to cover it.
  • Your out-of-pocket is your deductible only. We accept the carrier's approved amount minus your deductible as payment in full.
  • We handle mortgage company checks. When your lender is on the insurance check, we coordinate directly with the mortgage company to release funds.

Free On-Site Estimates

We inspect at no charge and provide a complete damage assessment before any work begins.

Fire Damage in Garland

When Old Wiring Sparks a Fire

Garland's median home was built in 1978, and across established neighborhoods like Duck Creek, Camelot, and the corridor near Downtown Garland, that means original 1960s and 70s-era wiring -- aluminum branch circuits, two-prong outlets, and electrical panels sized for a fraction of today's appliance load -- is still doing the work of powering a modern household. Overloaded panels and deteriorating aluminum connections are one of the most common ignition sources we see in Garland's older housing stock, often starting inside a wall or attic space long before anyone smells smoke.

Once a fire like that starts, the wiring stops being the story -- the smoke is what reaches everything. Within minutes, particles enter the HVAC system and settle throughout the house, and soot begins etching surfaces within 24 to 72 hours. Standard cleaning does not reach particles embedded in porous materials -- drywall, wood framing, fabric, and insulation all absorb smoke at the microscopic level.

Professional-grade equipment closes the gap. Warrior Restoration uses thermal foggers, HEPA air scrubbers, and chemical sponge dry-cleaning to address smoke residue at the particle level throughout the entire structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers Garland homeowners ask us most about fire and smoke damage restoration. Call (903) 993-5663 to reach a technician directly -- not a call center.

Garland's median home was built in 1978, and across established neighborhoods like Duck Creek, Camelot, and the blocks near Downtown Garland, that means original 1960s and 1970s-era wiring -- aluminum branch circuits, two-prong outlets, and electrical panels sized for a fraction of today's appliance load -- is still doing the work of powering a modern household. Overloaded panels and deteriorating aluminum connections are one of the most common ignition sources we see in Garland's older housing stock, and they frequently start inside a wall or attic space long before anyone smells smoke.
In houses from Garland's 1978-median building era, plaster, original trim, and early drywall are more porous than modern materials, so soot begins etching and discoloring those surfaces within 24 to 72 hours. We use dry chemical sponges and HEPA vacuums to lift soot from walls, ceilings, and contents before it becomes a permanent stain, which is why getting a crew on site quickly matters more in older Garland construction than it does in newer builds.
With most Garland homes running 45-plus years old, we start with thermal imaging and moisture meters to see whether framing, subfloor, and load-bearing elements were compromised by heat or by the water used to fight the fire, versus damage that's limited to drywall, paint, and finishes. That distinction drives the whole scope -- structural findings go into the insurance claim as repair items, while cosmetic damage gets handled during reconstruction, so you're never paying to replace more than the fire actually took.
We are on site within 1 hour anywhere in Garland, whether that's Firewheel, Duck Creek, the Rowlett Road corridor, or Downtown. In a city where most of the housing stock is running decades-old wiring, a fast response is what keeps a contained electrical fire from turning into a full-structure smoke and water loss.
Whether the fire started in a Camelot-era ranch house or a newer build near Firewheel, we handle everything in house -- emergency board-up and tarping on day one through soot removal, structural drying, content pack-out, and full reconstruction of drywall, paint, trim, and flooring. One company, one point of contact from the day of the fire through move-in ready.
Yes. With Garland's median home value at $270,800 and a large share of the housing stock old enough to carry outdated wiring, electrical-fire claims are something we handle regularly here. We bill your carrier directly, meet the adjuster on site, and submit the full damage scope -- including supplements if hidden damage turns up once work is underway. You're only responsible for your deductible.
