We know Clovis. We know the tract homes off Fowler and Temperance, the stucco ranches tucked behind the 93612 corridor, and the newer master-planned streets out in 93619 where every house shares the same floor plan and the same vulnerabilities. That local knowledge changes how we approach a fire job, because smoke moves differently through a 2004 Loma Vista open floor plan than it does through a 1982 compartmentalized ranch. This page is for Clovis homeowners who need straight answers about fire damage, smoke odor, what insurance needs to see, and what it actually costs to make a house smell like home again.

Here’s the short version: smoke and soot removal in Clovis runs $1,100-$4,200, odor removal and deodorization runs $900-$3,600, contents cleaning and pack-out runs $1,400-$5,800, and emergency board-up and tarping runs $450-$1,900. We’ll break down every one of those numbers further down. No phone quote games. Just real ranges from jobs we’ve done in your zip code.

Why Clovis Homeowners Call Wade’s Restoration of California

Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 because he got tired of watching national franchises quote one price on the phone and a different one at the front door. That’s not how neighbors treat neighbors, and in a town like Clovis, where people still talk over fences and recognize the same faces at the Save Mart on Shaw and Minnewawa, reputation is the whole game. Ask anyone on your street if they’ve had a water or fire claim. Chances are someone a few doors down has our number saved.

We’re not the biggest outfit in the Central Valley, and we don’t want to be. We’re the one where the owner’s name is on the truck and his address is published. Wade answers his own phone at three in the morning. Not a call center, not a triage service that promises a callback in “one to two business days.” When a Clovis family calls about smoke damage, they get Wade, and Wade gives them his cell. That’s not a marketing line. That’s how he’s run this business for nearly two decades.

Response time to Clovis is fast because our crews are staged out of the Fresno office and know the 168 corridor without looking at a map. From the 93611 neighborhoods near Clovis West High to the newer developments pushing toward Tollhouse Road in 93619, we’re typically on site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. When it’s a fire job, that speed matters. Smoke particles don’t just sit there. They settle into drywall, carpet, insulation, and ductwork, and every hour they sit, they bond harder to whatever they’ve landed on.

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services for Clovis Homes

Smoke & Soot Removal

Smoke and soot removal in Clovis runs $1,100-$4,200 depending on how many rooms were exposed and whether soot worked its way into your HVAC system. In the 93619 open-floor-plan production homes, we see this constantly: a small kitchen fire stays contained, but smoke rides the shared ductwork to every bedroom in the house. We clean every surface, scrub soot off walls and ceilings, and replace filters before we ever talk about paint. If you can smell it, the particles are still there, and a coat of Kilz isn’t going to fix a soot-saturated soffit.

Odor Removal & Deodorization

Odor removal in Clovis homes runs $900-$3,600 and it’s the job homeowners most often under-scope. Smoke odor doesn’t live in the air. It lives in fabrics, drywall, insulation, subfloor, and most stubbornly in your ductwork. We use hydroxyl generators and ozone treatments, not just air fresheners and fans. For the centralized HVAC systems common in Clovis’s post-2000 builds, that often means cleaning every register and return, replacing filters, and running deodorization through the system itself. Skipping that step is how people end up with a house that “still smells like fire” six months later.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

Contents cleaning and pack-out in Clovis runs $1,400-$5,800 for the average single-event fire. We inventory everything, photograph it, pack it out, clean it at our facility, and store it until your home is rebuilt. Curtains, bedding, clothing, upholstery, rugs, kitchenware, the contents of your kid’s closet that absorbed smoke through a closed door. We handle the pack-out so you don’t have to dig through a soot-covered master bedroom while contractors are tearing out drywall. And every item gets documented for your insurance claim before it leaves the house.

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

If a fire compromised a window or a section of your roofline, the house is open to the elements and to anyone walking through the neighborhood. Board-up and tarping in Clovis runs $450-$1,900 and it’s the first thing we do on any fire job with structural damage. We secure the building, cover roof breaches, and make sure no rain, birds, or curious teenagers get inside before the restoration work begins. This is also the step your insurance company wants documented immediately, and we handle those photos and measurements for you.

Trusted Equipment Brands We Run on Clovis Jobs

We don’t rent whatever the supply house has on the counter. Our crews run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix axial air movers, and the same professional-grade restoration equipment we’d use on our own homes. We stock spare filters, HEPA cartridges, and common parts so we’re not waiting on a shipment from Sacramento when your Clovis house is mid-dry-down. We’re also RIA-affiliated and IFA-recognized, which means the equipment gets used the way it was designed to be used: with moisture readings logged daily, not set on auto and left for a week. That’s the Wade’s Restoration difference, and it’s one of the reasons adjusters in the Valley don’t fight our invoices.

Common Problems We See in Clovis Homes After a Fire

• Smoke that keeps circulating through a shared HVAC system. In Clovis’s 93619 master-planned communities, open floor plans and centralized return ducts mean smoke from a contained kitchen fire reaches every room. Homeowners wait a week, thinking it’ll air out, and by then soot has bonded to every fabric surface in the house. You can’t just run the fan and hope. The ductwork itself has to be cleaned and deodorized, or the smell comes back every time the AC kicks on.
• Water logged into OSB sheathing behind stucco. This is one we see constantly on post-2000 Clovis builds. Fire hoses dump hundreds of gallons into a wall cavity, and the stucco-over-OSB assembly traps that water behind hairline cracks and the fire wall. By the time we open the wall, the sheathing has been wicking for days or weeks, and the smoke odor has soaked deep into the wood. In one Loma Vista house, we found OSB that had been saturated for eleven days before the homeowner ever saw a stain inside. That hidden damage is why we meter every wall cavity, not just the visible fire path.
• Mold that sets in fast during Clovis summers. A fire gets put out, the AC is off because the system’s contaminated, and the attic is 130°F by noon. Mold colonization can begin within 24 to 36 hours in a hot, poorly ventilated Clovis attic or crawl space after fire suppression. If you wait more than a day to start drying, you’ve potentially added a mold remediation job on top of the fire restoration. That’s a five-figure add-on no one budgets for.
• Assumed stucco cracks that aren’t cosmetic. On a 2000s Clovis production home, a crack in the stucco near where the fire was suppressed looks like nothing. But stucco here is applied directly over OSB, and when water finds its way through a crack, it wicks through the sheathing long before you see any interior sign. If you can see the crack from your driveway, the wood behind it has probably been wet for days. We treat every stucco crack near a fire wall as a potential water intrusion point until proven dry.

Clovis’s Wildland Smoke Problem Is Real, and It Changes the Playbook

Here’s something no generic restoration page will tell you: Clovis sits at the eastern edge of the Fresno metro, right up against the Sierra Nevada foothills. That means you’re closer to the wildland-urban interface than anyone in Fresno, Madera, or the rest of the valley floor. During events like the 2020 Creek Fire, eastern Clovis zip codes, especially 93619, got blanketed with hazardous smoke for weeks. We had homeowners calling about smoke odor who never had a fire on their property. Wildfire smoke had worked into their attics, their ducts, their insulation, and their furniture, and they couldn’t shake it. That’s a different kind of job than a kitchen fire. It’s decontamination of the entire HVAC system, attic insulation evaluation, and aggressive odor neutralization. Fresno contractors don’t get those calls the way we do. We’re in 93619 every week, and we know exactly how smoke behaves in those homes because we’ve cleaned enough of them.

We were called to a 93619 home in the Loma Vista neighborhood after a garage fire that started from a faulty builder-grade door opener. Our crew found smoke had traveled through the shared HVAC to every room, and behind the stucco near the fire wall, the OSB had been wicking moisture from the fire hoses for eleven days. We set up Phoenix axial air movers and a Dri-Eaz dehumidifier to dry the wall cavity, then used hydroxyl generators for odor removal before contents pack-out. That’s the kind of hidden damage no one sees from the outside, and it’s the reason we meter every wall cavity on a Clovis fire job, whether or not the fire ever touched it.

We Serve the Whole Clovis Area

We cover every Clovis zip code: 93611, 93612, 93613, and 93619. From the established neighborhoods near Old Town Clovis and Clovis High to the newer streets pushing east toward the foothills in 93619, we know the roads, the housing stock, and the people. We also serve Fresno, Old Fig Garden, Sanger, and Fowler for fire and smoke restoration. If you’re in the Clovis area and you’ve got smoke in your house, call (855) 915-0646. Wade will pick up.
