A small kitchen fire that left soot on one room and a fire that burned through a wall are different jobs by an order of magnitude. Honest answers start with what happened, so this guide explains the price drivers instead of quoting a number that would be wrong for most houses.
Most residential fire losses in Philadelphia are paid through homeowner insurance. Onyx documents the loss and writes a scope your adjuster can work from.
What drives the price
- How far smoke and soot traveled: one room vs the whole house through the HVAC
- Structural damage: charred framing, roof or floor that has to be rebuilt
- Water from firefighting: extraction and drying are often a large part of the job
- Odor: surface cleaning vs sealing framing, ozone or hydroxyl treatment, duct cleaning
- Contents: cleaning, pack-out and storage of belongings
- Board-up and tarping to secure the building
- Material and finish level of the rebuild
Smaller jobs: kitchen fires and smoke only
A contained kitchen fire usually means soot cleaning, odor removal and replacing cabinets, counters or drywall near the stove. These are the most common residential fire jobs and the least expensive.
What insurance usually pays
Homeowner policies typically cover fire and smoke damage, including cleanup, odor removal, rebuild and often temporary housing. Your insurer decides the amount; Onyx provides photos, a written scope and progress documentation.
