Who can help me after a house fire in Chicagoland?

Braun Restoration Consulting helps homeowners and small businesses across the Chicagoland area after a fire. We act as your independent advocate, guiding you through mitigation, contents, smoke and soot damage, and the restoration process so you can make clear, confident decisions without pressure.

What should I do first after a fire in my Chicago home?

First, make sure everyone is safe and wait for clearance from the fire department. Then document the damage with photos and video, notify your insurance company, and contact a fire damage consultant like Braun Restoration Consulting to help you avoid high-pressure contracts, understand your options, and build a clear recovery plan.

Why should I hire a fire damage consultant instead of calling a restoration company directly?

A fire damage consultant’s only job is to protect you. Braun Restoration Consulting does not sell construction. Instead, we help you understand estimates, scopes of work, policy language, and the difference between quality restoration and rushed, profit-driven jobs. Our guidance often saves clients money, time, and stress after a house fire or commercial fire.
