Fire & Smoke Restoration · Fulshear, TX
From emergency board-up through soot removal, odor treatment and full rebuild — one team from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Fire & Smoke · Fulshear
A house fire leaves behind four separate problems at once. There is the flame damage you can see. There is smoke that traveled through the HVAC into rooms the fire never reached. There is acidic soot residue that keeps etching metal, glass and finishes long after the trucks leave. And there is the suppression water — often thousands of gallons — sitting in flooring, wall cavities and the level below. Treating only the burned room leaves the other three working.
That secondary damage is why speed matters even after the emergency is over. Soot corrodes. Smoke odor sets deeper into porous materials with every day it sits. Water that is not extracted keeps moving through the structure. Getting the property secured, dried and cleaned early is what keeps a contained fire from turning into a whole-house rebuild.
Building Edge Construction works throughout Fulshear — Fulbrook, Weston Lakes, Jordan Ranch, Churchill Farms, Tamarron and the 77441 zip, plus the acreage and custom homes outside the master-planned sections. Most of these homes are newer, tightly built and open through the middle, which is exactly why a contained kitchen or garage fire can still push soot and odor up an open stair and through the return side of the HVAC into rooms at the far end of the house. We assess every room, not just the one that burned.
Our restoration work draws on IICRC-certified experience in water, fire and structural mitigation, and owner John Baudry oversees these projects personally. Fire claims are among the most complex an insurer handles, spanning structure, contents and living expenses at the same time, so we document everything as we go and work directly with your carrier on covered losses.

Soot removal, odor treatment, drying and full reconstruction handled by one team under one contract — no handoff to a second contractor.
Fire claims are complex, and we document thoroughly and coordinate covered repairs with your carrier. We are your contractor, not a public adjuster, so coverage decisions stay with your insurer.
Common Questions
We answer around the clock and, for an active loss in Fulshear, often same-day. The first visit is about securing the property — board-up, tarping and shutting the structure to weather and entry — so the damage stops growing while the claim gets started.
Yes, when it is treated properly rather than covered up. Odor lives in porous materials and in soot residue, so removal means cleaning or removing the affected material first, then treating the space and the HVAC system. Air fresheners and sealers alone do not solve it, and the smell returns with the next humid week.
Because smoke follows air, and most Fulshear homes are newer, tightly built and open through the middle. A kitchen or garage fire that never leaves its room can still push soot and odor up an open stair and through the return side of the HVAC into bedrooms on the far end of the house. That is why we assess every room rather than only the one that burned.
Fire losses are commonly covered, and the claim usually spans structure, contents and additional living expenses at the same time — which is part of why fire claims are more complex than most. We document the damage thoroughly and work directly with your insurance company on covered losses. We are your contractor, not a public adjuster, so coverage decisions stay with your insurer.
Water used to put out a fire is generally treated as part of the same loss, and it is a real part of the job — thousands of gallons can end up in flooring, wall cavities and the level below. We extract and dry that water as part of the restoration rather than leaving it for someone else, and we document it with the rest of the claim.
Both. Building Edge Construction is a construction company, so cleanup through rebuild happens under one contract — board-up, soot and smoke removal, odor treatment, drying, then framing, drywall, trim, cabinetry, flooring and paint. You are not handed off to a second contractor halfway through.
