What can belong in a fire restoration scope?
The project may involve temporary roof protection, replacement of damaged roofing or sheathing, cleanup, and repair to affected interior finishes. Document each area and keep work requiring a separate qualified specialist in its own line.
Does the plan include smoke, soot and firefighting water?
Include assessment of smoke and soot residue and water left by firefighting alongside the visible roof and room damage. Specialist cleanup and drying come before replacement finishes; roofing, structural repairs and drywall or paint each need a defined handoff.
How should older painted materials be handled?
After a fire or other disaster, renovation can disturb older coatings and building materials. EPA’s post-disaster and lead-safe renovation guidance explains when lead-safe practices apply to covered work; test or evaluate materials when the project requires it.
When should the roof be closed?
Coordinate roof restoration with any structural or electrical review that must happen first. The final scope names temporary protection, permanent roof repairs, debris handling and the interior handoff.
