Question 1

How quickly can you respond to a fire damage emergency in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

We dispatch 24/7 across South Jersey. Emergency board-up crews can typically be on site within 2–4 hours of your call across Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties. Faster response dramatically reduces secondary water and weather damage between the fire and full restoration.

Question 2

Will my New Jersey homeowners insurance cover fire damage restoration?

Accepted Answer

Standard NJ homeowners policies cover fire and smoke damage, including the cost of temporary board-up, contents cleaning, structural repair, and additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable. We work directly with all major NJ carriers — State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Progressive, Travelers, USAA, and more — and bill the insurance company directly so you do not pay out of pocket beyond your deductible.

Question 3

Can smoke odor be permanently removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use a combination of HEPA air scrubbers, thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize smoke odor at the molecular level rather than masking it with deodorizers. Porous materials that cannot be fully treated — heavily damaged drywall, insulation, contaminated HVAC components — are removed and replaced as part of reconstruction.

Question 4

Do you handle the reconstruction after the fire, or do I need a separate contractor?

Accepted Answer

We handle both. Bulldog Cleaning & Restoration is a licensed NJ HIC contractor for the full restoration and reconstruction phases. That means one point of contact from day one through final walk-through — no juggling separate vendors for restoration and rebuild, no gaps in accountability.

Question 5

What is emergency board-up and do I need it?

Accepted Answer

Emergency board-up secures the property after a fire with plywood over destroyed windows, doors, and structural openings. It is almost always necessary — it prevents weather damage, theft, vandalism, and animal intrusion in the days between the fire and full restoration. Your insurance policy almost always covers board-up as a mitigation cost.

Question 6

How quickly should I act after a fire in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Within the first 24–48 hours. Soot is acidic and continues to corrode metals, etch glass, and discolor surfaces every hour it sits. Smoke odor penetrates deeper into porous materials over time. Calling us immediately — even before the NJ insurance adjuster has arrived — dramatically reduces secondary damage and total restoration cost.
