About this service
What fire restoration covers after the smoke clears
A structure fire doesn't stop doing damage once the flames are out. Smoke and soot keep working into drywall, cabinetry, and ductwork for days afterward, and the water used to fight the fire adds a second disaster on top of the first.
Keystone Response & Restoration provides fire restoration in Kingsland, TX and across the Highland Lakes, handling smoke, soot, and firefighting water damage as one job instead of three separate headaches. Joe McCrary built the process around commercial ozone and hydroxyl deodorization, HEPA air scrubbing, and thermal fogging — not a box fan and an air freshener.
Because many homes here run on propane instead of municipal gas, and plenty of properties back up to cedar and oak brush, we see appliance fires, lightning-strike fires, and wildfire-adjacent exposure that a city-only crew doesn't handle every week. We assess smoke, soot, and water together from the first walkthrough so nothing gets missed on the insurance scope.

Happening right now?
We answer 24 hours a day, every day of the year
Smoke residue keeps etching metal, glass and finishes long after the fire is out, and firefighting water is already soaking into the structure underneath it. If it is happening right now, call before you tear anything out — the make-safe advice on that call is free either way.

Why Keystone Response & Restoration
Built to get fire restoration done right the first time
24-Hour Emergency Response
Fire damage doesn't wait for business hours and neither do we. We answer day or night and prioritize board-up, tarping, and water extraction first to stop secondary damage while it's still preventable.
Smoke and Water Damage, One Crew
Firefighting hose streams soak a structure even when the fire itself stays in one room. We run mitigation and fire restoration together so materials aren't dried out only to be torn out later for smoke odor.
Licensed Across Every Discipline a Fire Loss Touches
Joe holds licenses for fire restoration, water mitigation, and mold remediation. Trapped moisture behind fire-damaged walls turns into a mold problem within 48-72 hours if it's treated as someone else's job.
Built for Rural and Lake Country Properties
From propane-fed ranch homes to cedar-shake roofs near Lake LBJ, we work on the property types common around Kingsland and the surrounding hill country, not just standard suburban builds.
Adjuster-Ready Documentation
We photograph and log damage from the first walkthrough and hand over an itemized scope your insurance adjuster can act on, and we'll meet them on-site if that speeds up your claim.
Don't wait it out
Signs you need fire restoration
- Visible char, scorching, or melted materials on walls, ceilings, or wiring
- A smoky smell that lingers well after the fire department has left
- Soot film on surfaces far from the fire's origin, including inside cabinets or ductwork

- Warped, discolored, or bubbling flooring near the point of origin
- Tripped breakers or a burnt electrical smell after a small appliance or wiring fire
How it works
Our fire restoration process
- 01
Emergency Response & Damage Assessment
We evaluate fire, smoke, soot, and water damage together and document everything your insurance adjuster will need for the claim.
- 02
Board-Up, Extraction & Content Protection
We secure open windows and roof damage, extract standing water from firefighting efforts, and pack out or protect salvageable belongings.
- 03
Smoke & Soot Removal
Framing, drywall, and ductwork are cleaned with methods matched to the soot type — dry sponging, wet cleaning, or media blasting where needed.
- 04
Odor Removal & Deodorization
Ozone or hydroxyl treatment and thermal fogging break down smoke odor at the source in walls and cavities instead of masking it on the surface.
- 05
Structural Cleaning & Reconstruction Handoff
Once the structure is clean and dry, we scope any drywall, flooring, or cabinetry rebuild so the home is fully restored, not just cleaned.
Cost & what drives it
What fire restoration costs
How Far Smoke & Soot Traveled
A contained kitchen fire may only need cleaning in one or two rooms. A fire that ran through wall cavities or the HVAC system can carry soot through the whole house, which adds cleaning and deodorization scope fast.
What's Salvageable vs. What Isn't
Porous materials like drywall, insulation, and carpet that absorbed heavy smoke usually need removal and replacement, while sealed surfaces, tested wiring, and finished wood often clean back up. That split drives most of the estimate.
Water Damage From Firefighting
Hose streams routinely soak the floor of origin and the rooms below or beside it. Structural drying, moisture mapping, and mold-prevention work get added whenever the fire department used water.
Emergency Timing & Board-Up Needs
A home left open to weather and wildlife needs immediate board-up and tarping, which is priced as emergency mitigation separate from the restoration work that follows once the structure is secure.
Every fire loss is different, so we provide a written scope and quote after an on-site assessment rather than a phone estimate. Most fire restoration work is covered in whole or in part by homeowners insurance, and we'll work directly with your adjuster on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions property owners ask us most on this kind of job, answered the way we'd answer them standing in your driveway.
Answered 24 hours
Ask us before you tear anything out. There's no charge for the conversation, and it's the same crew on the phone that shows up at the door.
(325) 248-7003It depends on how far smoke and soot traveled, how much water the fire department used, and how many materials need replacing versus cleaning. We give a firm quote after walking the property, and since most homeowners policies cover fire restoration, we'll work directly with your adjuster on the scope.
We take emergency calls 24 hours a day and prioritize board-up, tarping, and water extraction first to stop secondary damage. Getting a crew out within hours of the fire being extinguished makes a real difference in how deep smoke odor sets into porous materials.
Not if the odor is treated at its source. We use ozone or hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging to break down smoke molecules inside walls, ductwork, and furnishings, instead of covering the smell with a surface spray.
Yes. We document damage with photos and moisture readings starting with our first visit and provide an itemized scope your adjuster can use, and we can meet them on-site if that helps move the claim along.
Both, as one job. Drying a fire-damaged structure without addressing the water used to put the fire out is one of the most common reasons mold shows up weeks later.
We see a mix tied to rural and lake-area living: propane appliance issues, older wiring in manufactured and older ranch homes, lightning strikes during hill country storms, and cooking fires. Each cause leaves a different soot profile that changes how we clean.
Many can. Textiles, some furniture, and hard-surface items often respond well to specialized cleaning and deodorization. We assess contents individually rather than writing everything off by default.
Both. Once smoke, soot, and moisture are fully addressed, we can scope and complete drywall, flooring, and cabinetry work through our reconstruction service so you're not coordinating a second contractor.
