A question we hear often in Preston is whether a general contractor can handle fire repair the same way they'd handle a standard renovation, and the honest answer is that fire repair carries structural and code considerations a typical remodel doesn't.
A general remodeling contractor isn't necessarily trained to evaluate heat damage to framing, which is a gap that matters more than it might seem.
That's part of why Preston, MN building departments increasingly ask for fire-specific documentation on permit applications involving structural repair, and having that documentation ready from day one keeps the Fire Damage Repair project moving instead of stalling at the permit office.
