The scope and price are locked in writing before demolition starts on any Fire Damage Repair repair job.
A question we hear often in Richmond is whether a general contractor can handle fire repair the same way they'd handle a standard renovation, and the honest answer is that fire repair carries structural and code considerations a typical remodel doesn't.
A general remodeling contractor isn't necessarily trained to evaluate heat damage to framing, which is a gap that matters more than it might seem.
That's part of why Richmond, MN building departments increasingly ask for fire-specific documentation on permit applications involving structural repair, and having that documentation ready from day one keeps the Fire Damage Repair project moving instead of stalling at the permit office.
We keep relationships with local Richmond building inspectors' offices to help schedule required inspections without the typical multi-week wait.
