Fire Damage Restoration in Boerne & the Texas Hill Country
From emergency board-up to the final walkthrough, one licensed, veteran-owned contractor handles your entire fire damage restoration. No juggling multiple companies.
One Contractor, Start to Finish
After a fire, most homeowners end up coordinating a board-up company, a cleanup crew, a demolition crew, and a builder. We handle every phase in-house, so you have one point of contact, one schedule, and one team accountable for the result.
- 1
Emergency Board-Up & Tarping
We secure your home fast, boarding up broken windows and doors and tarping damaged roofs to protect against weather, further damage, and unwanted entry.
- 2
Smoke, Soot & Odor Cleanup
Smoke and soot spread far beyond the burned area. We clean affected surfaces and treat lingering odors throughout the home, not just the rooms you can see damage in.
- 3
Demolition & Debris Removal
We remove materials that can't be saved, haul away debris, and prepare the structure for rebuilding.
- 4
Full Rebuild & Repairs
We rebuild what was lost, from framing and drywall to cabinets, flooring, and finishes, with Boerne permits and inspections handled for you.
What to Do After a House Fire
- 1Wait for the fire department to tell you it's safe to go back inside.
- 2Don't turn on electrical, appliances, or your HVAC system until they've been checked; running the HVAC can spread soot through the house.
- 3Avoid wiping or scrubbing soot yourself, which can smear it deeper into surfaces.
- 4Take photos and video of all damage before anything is moved.
- 5Contact your insurance company to report the loss.
- 6Call us at (830) 400-4420 to secure your home and plan the restoration.

Fire Damage Restoration FAQs
How soon can you start after a fire?
Call us as soon as the fire department clears your home. Securing the property with board-up and tarping is the first priority, and we can typically schedule your walkthrough and written estimate quickly so restoration can begin.
Do you handle smoke and soot damage in rooms the fire didn't reach?
Yes. Smoke and soot often travel through the whole home, including through HVAC ductwork. We assess and clean affected areas throughout the house, not only the rooms with visible fire damage.
What is a protein fire, and why does it need professional cleanup?
A protein fire happens when food such as meat or beans burns on the stove. It often leaves little visible damage, but it coats cabinets, walls, and ceilings with a thin, greasy film and causes a strong, lingering odor that household cleaners usually can't remove. We clean the residue and treat the odor throughout the home, not just the kitchen.
Do I need separate companies for cleanup and rebuilding?
No. 40 Acres Construction handles every phase in-house, from emergency board-up and smoke cleanup to demolition and the full rebuild.
Will you deal with my insurance company for me?
No. Your claim is between you and your insurer, and we don't handle or negotiate claims. We provide a detailed written estimate and photo documentation that you can share with your insurance company.
What if my insurance doesn't cover everything?
Financing is available on every estimate through our partner, Acorn Finance, and can help with your deductible or repairs your policy doesn't cover. Checking your options won't affect your credit score. Learn more on our financing page.
