Laurel Springs Fire
Restoration
When a fire broke out in the kitchen of a ground-level unit at a commercial rental property, the damage was extensive, requiring a full-scale restoration to bring the building back to life. Kent General Contracting was contracted to oversee the project, and from the very beginning, we worked closely with insurance adjusters to ensure a thorough inspection of the structure. Our goal was to maximize the claim amount, allowing for a complete restoration that would not only repair the damage but also modernize the property for future tenants.
The first step in the process was to completely gut the affected areas, removing all damaged materials and debris. We then applied advanced deodorizing solutions to eliminate any lingering smoke odors, ensuring a clean and fresh foundation for the rebuild. But this project went beyond simple repairs—it was an opportunity to bring this older structure up to present-day building codes.
Our team replaced the siding and windows, enhancing the property’s curb appeal and energy efficiency. Inside, we restored each of the four units individually, starting from the ground up.
This included:
-
New Interior Walls: Creating a blank canvas for modern, functional living spaces.
-
Upgraded Insulation: Improving energy efficiency and comfort for future tenants.
-
Rewiring and Plumbing: Ensuring all systems met current safety and performance standards.
-
New Flooring: Installing durable, stylish flooring throughout each unit.
-
Modern Bathrooms: Designing and building updated bathrooms with contemporary fixtures and finishes.
-
Brand-New Kitchens: Installing sleek, modern kitchens equipped with the latest appliances and ample storage.
This restoration is more than just a repair job—it’s a transformation. We’re taking a dated, fire-damaged property and turning it into a modern, code-compliant rental space that will attract quality tenants for years to come.
