Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Ojai’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Ojai

Smoke & Soot Removal

Ojai’s aging craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes have original lath-and-plaster walls that soak up smoke like a sponge. Surface cleaning alone leaves odor locked in the plaster. We treat the full depth of the wall cavity, not just the visible soot. In the 93023 and 93024 ZIP codes, this work usually runs $1,200 to $4,800 depending on square footage and how far the smoke traveled through wall voids.

Odor Removal & Deodorization

Smoke smell in an Ojai home is rarely just in the room where the fire happened. Original wood framing, old plaster, and unsealed crawl spaces carry odor into rooms that never saw direct flame. We use thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing to neutralize odor at the source. For a typical 1,500-square-foot Ojai bungalow, deodorization runs $900 to $3,200. We don’t mask it. We remove it.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

Furniture, clothing, rugs, books, and the stuff that makes a house yours all hold smoke. We clean contents on-site when possible, or pack out to our facility for ultrasonic cleaning and ozone treatment when the damage is extensive. Ojai homes often have heirloom furniture and original built-ins from the 1920s through 1950s that need careful handling. Contents cleaning and pack-out in Ojai typically runs $1,500 to $6,000 depending on volume and whether transport is required.

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

After a fire, your home is open to weather, animals, and unwanted visitors. We board up damaged windows and tarp compromised roofs the same day in Ojai. This is fast work: usually $400 to $1,200 depending on openings and roof access. It’s not a long-term fix, but it protects what’s left while the real restoration gets underway.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojai

We run Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, Injectidry, and B-Air equipment on Ojai jobs. These are the professional-grade machines restoration pros rely on, not the rental-store gear that leaves walls damp and smoke odor lingering. We stock common parts and consumables for these systems. That means faster setup, fewer return trips, and a drying or deodorization plan that doesn’t stall waiting on a part from some warehouse outside the valley. Our IICRC and RIA credentials back the way we run every piece of equipment.

Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Ojai Homes

• Deep smoke penetration in lath-and-plaster walls. Older Ojai homes hold smoke in wall cavities and plaster layers, so a quick surface wipe leaves odor that returns in weeks. We treat the full assembly, not just the face.
• Detached workshops and barns missed in the initial scope. Rural equestrian properties in the valley often have outbuildings that embers reached even when the main house looks fine. We check every structure on the parcel, not just the one that burned.
• Long private driveways slowing equipment staging. Acreage properties around Ojai can have drives that make large equipment access tricky. We plan trailer and equipment placement before we arrive, so we’re not scrambling at the gate.
• Post-fire mud intrusion during the rainy season. When the hills around Ojai burn, the soil turns hydrophobic. The next winter storm pushes debris-laden runoff downhill into foundations and doorways. If your fire happened in a burn scar, we pre-treat for that before it happens.
