24/7 Emergency Service
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Toronto & the GTA
After a fire, TGV Construction Group secures the property, cleans soot and smoke, works with your insurer and rebuilds the damage. We have handled fire and smoke restoration across the GTA since 2017.
01
Board-Up & Emergency Securing
Board-up, roof tarping, fencing and temporary power are often needed within hours. They keep weather and intruders out and are usually the first step of the insurance claim.
- Window and door board-up
- Roof tarping
- Site fencing
- Temporary power
02
Soot, Smoke & Odour Cleaning
Smoke travels well beyond the fire room. Soot settles on distant walls, ceilings, ducts and contents, and the smell stays in porous materials.
Many surfaces and contents clean up with the right methods; deeply contaminated porous materials are replaced. Our assessment sorts everything into clean, restore or replace.
- Removing damaged components
- Soot cleaning
- Treating odour and contamination
- Removing or restoring HVAC
03
Contents Pack-Out & Insurance
We share documentation with your insurer, support the contents inventory and pack out items for off-site cleaning where that is the better route.
In Ontario you generally choose your own restoration contractor - you are not required to use the insurer's preferred vendor. Where the home is unlivable, your insurer's additional living expenses coverage usually applies, and we keep the records that support it.
- Contents inventory
- Pack-out and storage
- Photo and scope documentation
- Working with adjusters
04
Structural Repair & Rebuild
We evaluate the structural framing, replace what the fire weakened and rebuild the home with the same team. Electrical repairs are done by a licensed electrician and filed with the Electrical Safety Authority, which we coordinate.
- Evaluating structural framing
- Framing and joist replacement
- Electrical and HVAC coordination
- Drywall, flooring and finishes
Before we arrive
What to do right now
- Everyone out first - do not go back in until the fire department says it is safe.
- Do not touch soot-covered surfaces; soot smears into porous materials.
- Photograph everything and keep damaged items until your insurer has seen them.
- Call your insurer and our 24/7 line for board-up and securing.

Cost & insurance
What does it cost?
Fire restoration is priced by scope. Cleanup commonly runs about $8,000 to $25,000 for a contained fire, $15,000 to $45,000 for whole-home soot, and $30,000 to $90,000 for a single-room structural fire, with reconstruction quoted after the assessment.
These are typical ranges, not a quote. Fire is a standard covered peril on most Ontario homeowners' policies; contents, additional living expenses and rebuild each have their own terms, which is why full documentation matters.
