Discover the Best Choice for Fire Damage Remediation
No one ever expects to have their home stolen by a fire, but that devastating nightmare can become the reality for unfortunate homeowners. A home damaged beyond repair, sentiments lost forever, and utterly disrupted lives await them in the overwhelming aftermath.
In times like these, choosing the wrong fire remediation company can be that final straw that forces you to abandon your last shred of sanity. You need a company that cares about their customers and knows what they’re doing.
We’ve read the reviews, called former customers, and crunched all the numbers to uncover the fire damage companies that stand among the best of the best. Now we’ll compare the top companies in Austin and Cedar Park to help you make a great choice.
Fire Cleanup & Repair Companies Ranked
Cedar Park alone is home to dozens of companies that restore fire damage, so vetting them all was extremely challenging.
We started with a pool of restoration companies that have at least 50 reviews with a rating above 4.5. It proved difficult to contact many past customers, but the data collected was enough to be used as a factor. Communication, response time, and workload capacity were the other aspects measured.
1. All Nation Restoration
5.0 Stars
158 Reviews
Our Rating: 10/10
WOW this fire damage company is the real deal. All of the clients we talked to went well beyond a standard 5 star review, they shared explosive rants about their experiences with All Nation Restoration.
We had to triple check their response times because it was hard to believe these numbers – their average response time is half or less than the fastest response time of every other company we checked. Yes, half. After this shocking find, we did some digging to figure out how they’re pulling this off.
First, they give all of their employees a vehicle with everything they could need to handle a restoration job. Then, they structure their projects in a way that allows at least one technician at every job to be able to respond to a new emergency if needed. That’s basically like having business locations all over the city. Some of their response times are even under 5 minutes.
This locally owned company has the manpower to handle large commercial jobs while juggling residential projects too. They’re a true full-service company and do everything in-house. They use their own dumpsters to throw away junk and debris, they have all the demolition equipment needed to do huge demolition jobs, and they have expert attention to detail.
The only downside after using this company is that you may want to set your house on fire so you can use them again.
2. ServPro of Hyde Park
4.9 Stars
200 Reviews
Our Rating: 9/10
One of many ServPro franchises from the national corporation. ServPro is obviously doing something right to be such a large company, but their locations can be a little hit-or-miss. This Hyde Park location is definitely a good one. Customers are pretty satisfied with their work and communication seems to be one of their strongest points.
Some response times come up a bit short in comparison to other companies.
3. PuroClean Property Savers
5.0 Stars
173 Reviews
Our Rating: 8/10
Another excellent franchise since 2001 with more than 400 locations. It’s been said they really care for their customers and go the extra mile to provide fantastic service. They have one of the best response times and have enough employees to handle massive projects. Out of the three locations they have in Austin, the Cedar Park location has the best response time.
There aren’t many bad things to say about this company. We got a few reports of less-than-perfect communication and there are some drawbacks to franchises, but still a great choice.
4. Big Guys Restoration
4.9 Stars
86 Reviews
Our Rating: 6/10
Big Guys Restoration is a locally owned and operated business with all the necessary certifications. Their customers have decent things to say about them and their response time isn’t the worst.
There were a few issues with a couple of clients and their workforce is on the smaller side, limiting the amount of work they can take on.
5. TRTexas
4.9 Stars
145 Reviews
Our Rating: 5/10
We used to have some decent things to say about this company, but new information has come to light. We’ll stay away from stating our opinions and just post one of their recent reviews.
From Google Reviews:
“I recently used Total Restoration for water remediation in my rental house. My insurance company denied coverage, so TR recommended that I engage an independent advocate. I also had to have a mold specialist take samples, then have TR remediate for mold and then have the specialist take more samples and make sure everything was clear. I’m very aware that this whole process would take time (I had an Airbnb in Park City, Utah that flooded after a toilet was installed); however, I didn’t receive communication throughout the process and had to contact Ryan repeatedly to find out what was going on/next steps. After the insurance advocate texted that she needed the invoice from Total Restoration to move my claim forward, I contacted Ryan who said he’d have the invoice to me either that day or the following day. Nine days later, I called the owner to see if he could help nudge Ryan to produce the invoice, and I explained the situation (by the way, with every week that passes, we lose $500 in lost rent). Instead of immediately acknowledging that nine days was a long time for an invoice, Jason tried to tell me that I was unrealistic about how long the process would take and he said that he probably wouldn’t get paid for months. Initially, I thought this was because my homeowners insurance would pay him directly and they take a long time to issue payments, but it turns out that he was insulting me by insinuating that I wouldn’t pay him for months. He also hung up on me while I was still talking. Incidentally, I paid my $5800 invoice to Total Restoration immediately with cash through Zelle. The next time I need a water remediation company, I’ll find a different company to work with.”

Things to Consider When Not Using a Full-Service Restoration Company
Demolition and Debris Removal
In cases where fire damage is extensive, there is often a need for demolition and debris removal to pave the way for effective restoration. Fire remediation companies understand the importance of starting the restoration process on a clean slate, which is why they perform demolition services or subcontract another company to handle it.
Dumpster Rental and Junk Removal
Managing debris and waste during restoration is essential to maintaining a safe jobsite. Any company should take this seriously and provide a dumpster rental and junk removal service.
