What is the average cost of fire damage restoration?

Oh, no! The worst thing that you could imagine happened: fire in your home or office. Something as simple as leaving the stove on too hot for too long can cause a fire. And once the flames are gone, you’re left with burned and damaged appliances, personal items and even structures.
Repairing or renewing all of this is a long, arduous labor and, of course, it costs money. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to give a typical cost for fire damage restoration, because the prices vary greatly according to the extent of the damage.
According to Home Advisor, the average cost nationwide for fire damage restoration is of $13,761, but prices can be as low as $3,157 or as high as $29,118. In Florida, the average cost would be $3,156.
Some of the factors that influence the final cost of fire damage restoration are:
- Extent of the damage.
- Amount of burned items, appliances and structures that need to be replaced.
- Damage done by heat.
- Damage done by smoke and soot.
- Odor removal.
- Potential repair for chemical damage (from extinguishers).
- Potential water damage restoration (from burst pipes or firefighting efforts).
