Who Rebuilds After a House Fire in Plant City FL

Fire Damage September 2026
Soot-stained living room after a house fire, fire damage restoration in Plant City FL

True Builders rebuilds houses after a fire in Plant City. Headquarters is 4000 N Frontage Rd, Plant City, FL 33565. Florida contractor license CRC1335717. Search that number in the DBPR database before you let anyone open a wall.

Cleaning crews wipe soot. Franchises show up with a van. The rebuild is framing, electrical, drywall, cabinets, floors, and paint under one permit. That is fire damage restoration. That is us.

What happens in the first day

Board the openings. Photograph the soot trail. Do not wipe a wall until someone who knows soot is on site. Wipe it wrong and the stain sets.

Firefighting water is under cabinets and in the subfloor. Extraction and drying belong to True Plumbers at trueplumbers.com. We do not run that scope. We take the house once it is dry.

A kitchen fire is the common call. The range, the boxes beside it, and the room behind the return. That rebuild is kitchen fire repair. The causes sit on the five most common kitchen fire causes.

If the structure itself is gone, that is complete-loss fire rebuilds.

What the number looks like

HomeGuide puts a kitchen or grease fire at $11,000 to $18,000 and smoke and soot removal at $500 to $5,000. A room that burned to the studs is not that band. Those are published market ranges, not a True Builders quote.

We write a scope after we walk the house. You see the number before we order cabinets.

The claim, without the myth

We document the loss and rebuild what the policy pays for. If you want a better layout than you had, that add is written separately. We are not in-house insurance adjusters. We are not a public adjuster. The insurer prices the claim. We price the work.

The old how-to on filing is steps to take for an insurance claim. This post is who does the rebuild in Plant City.
