Why Melissa Homeowners Choose Warrior Restoration

One Crew Through Melissa's Fire Recovery

Melissa's population has grown roughly 85% since 2020, and nearly all of that growth is new rooftops in Melissa Gateway Village, Hunters Creek, and the East Melissa growth area -- homes that eventually need a restoration company willing to stick around past the emergency call. Warrior Restoration LLC handles fire damage in house from the first hour through the final walkthrough. Owner Justin Miller runs a dedicated crew of 6 with 3 fully stocked response trucks, covering 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 Melissa 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

Windows, doors, and any roof breach get secured the same day we arrive, so the structure is protected from weather and entry while the rest of the work begins.

Soot Removal

Dry chemical sponges and HEPA vacuums lift soot from walls, ceilings, and contents before it etches surfaces permanently -- soot becomes harder to remove with every hour that passes.

Smoke Odor Elimination

Thermal foggers and HEPA air scrubbers neutralize smoke particles at the source. Surface cleaning alone never reaches odor already embedded in 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 certified standards.

HVAC and Air Duct Cleaning

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

Reconstruction

Drywall, paint, trim, and flooring -- all handled in house by the same crew that dried the structure. No separate contractor to coordinate.

Thermal Imaging Assessment

Calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras find hidden water and heat damage inside walls and ceilings that a visual inspection alone would miss.

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 left behind by firefighting. Thermal imaging and moisture meters flag hidden damage before any equipment goes down.

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 every surface and neutralize odor particles throughout the structure, ductwork included.

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, and installs trim and flooring. One company carries 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.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Fire Damage in Melissa

Fast Response for Melissa's New Homes

Most of Melissa's housing dates to 2015 or later, and a lot of it has gone up in just the last few years across Melissa Gateway Village, Hunters Creek, Willow Wood, and the East Melissa growth area. That newness comes with a specific fire risk: open-concept kitchens sitting directly against the living room, running first-run appliances that have never seen a real grease fire. A stovetop flare-up in one of these floor plans does not stay contained to the kitchen -- there is no wall or hallway to slow it down before it reaches the furniture and finishes a few feet away.

The smoke moves just as fast as the fire does. Within minutes it is pulled into the HVAC system and distributed through every room of the house, and the soot it leaves behind starts etching drywall, cabinetry, and fabric within 24 to 72 hours. Standard surface cleaning does not reach particles that have already worked into porous materials -- drywall, wood trim, upholstery, 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

Here's what Melissa homeowners ask us most after a fire. Call (903) 993-5663 any time and you'll reach our crew, not a call center.

Because the kitchen is exactly where new-construction Melissa homes are most exposed. Median year built across the city is 2015, and neighborhoods like Melissa Gateway Village, Hunters Creek, and the East Melissa growth area are mostly open-concept floor plans running first-run appliances that have never faced a real grease fire. A stovetop flare-up has a clear, open run from the kitchen straight into the living room, with nothing to slow it down before it reaches the furniture and finishes a few feet away.
Yes, and it's common in Melissa's open-concept new builds specifically. With no hallways or closed doors separating the kitchen from the rest of the house, smoke particles move through the HVAC system and settle throughout the home within minutes. We use thermal foggers and HEPA air scrubbers to neutralize smoke odor at the particle level and clean your air ducts -- we clean them, we do not replace them. Leaving the odor alone usually means the residue is still active and getting worse.
Most of the homes we work in around Melissa Gateway Village and Hunters Creek are only a few years old, so the furniture and finishes inside are just as new -- worth protecting rather than replacing wherever we can. We perform a full content inventory, clean salvageable items on site using methods matched to each material, and pack out anything that needs off-site treatment or storage. Everything is catalogued and tracked until it goes back into your home.
We respond within 1 hour of your call, 24 hours a day. Melissa sits just south of our staging area in Van Alstyne and Anna, so whether the fire is in Melissa Gateway Village, Hunters Creek, Willow Wood, or the East Melissa growth area, we are close. Fast response limits how far smoke spreads through an open floor plan and how much water from the fire department soaks into new-construction subfloor.
Our lead technician holds IICRC FSRT (Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician) certification, plus WRT (Water Restoration Technician) and ASD (Applied Structural Drying) for the water firefighting crews leave behind in Melissa homes. We also carry $2 million in general liability insurance, which matters on newer builds where warranty paperwork and insurance paperwork already overlap.
In most cases, only your deductible. We bill your insurance carrier directly, meet the adjuster on site to document the damage in your Melissa home, and file supplements if opening up new-construction drywall turns up damage the initial scope missed. We accept the carrier's approved amount minus your deductible as payment in full -- no separate invoice from us.
