A house fire in Portland rarely stops at the burned room. Smoke and soot travel through ductwork and settle on every surface, and the water used to put the fire out leaves its own damage behind. Wildfire smoke during dry summers adds another reason homes here need professional cleaning.
The companies below handle board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, odor removal, contents cleaning and, for several of them, the rebuild. Most work directly with insurance carriers.

After a fire, broken windows and holes in the roof let in rain and intruders. Ask whether the crew can secure the property on the first visit.
Surface cleaning rarely removes smoke smell. Ask whether they use thermal fogging, hydroxyl or ozone treatment, and whether they clean the ductwork.
Firefighting leaves a lot of water behind, which can lead to mold if it is not dried. Make sure drying is part of the scope.
Some companies stop at cleanup. If walls, roofing or framing need replacing, a company with licensed contractors can take the job through to the end under one Oregon CCB license.
Fire claims are large and paperwork heavy. Pick a company that documents the loss thoroughly and bills the insurer directly.
A fire is the start of a long process. Get the property secured and dried quickly, choose a company that can handle smoke odor properly, and keep your insurer informed from the first day.
