Great company, I highly recommend
Highly recommend Miller's. Placed a call and received service the same day. Very professional and honest evaluation of our home situation. Trustworthy people.
We had an emergency situation at a rental property that occurred early on a Saturday morning when I was out of town - hours away. I called Miller's and they had someone onsite at the property...
A fire in one of Adrian's older homes rarely stops at the flames. Smoke and soot travel through the balloon-framed walls common in the Downtown Historic District, settling into plaster, ductwork, and belongings across Madison Charter Township and Raisin Township long after the fire is out.
The Millers Restoration of Toledo team handles the full recovery: neutralizing smoke odor, cleaning soot from surfaces and contents, and carefully packing out salvageable items for off-site restoration. From there we manage the reconstruction, matching the character of homes near Siena Heights University and the Croswell Opera House.
Serving Lenawee County and family-owned since 1974, we know how much history sits inside an Adrian home, and we work to bring back as much of it as we can rather than tearing out more than we must.

Structural cleaning and thermal fogging remove the smell smoke leaves behind for good.
Belongings are inventoried, packed out, cleaned, and restored at our own facility.
Our in-house crew rebuilds what the fire took, from framing to finish.
Millers responds to fire and smoke damage throughout Adrian and Lenawee County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Many Adrian homes, especially in the historic downtown and older residential blocks, still have dated wiring and heating systems that raise fire risk during cold Lenawee County winters. Wood-frame construction and knob-and-tube remnants can let smoke and soot travel quickly through wall cavities. Even a contained kitchen or furnace fire can leave smoke residue throughout an older, tightly built house.
Smoke and soot are acidic and begin etching surfaces like metal, glass, and finishes within hours, so prompt cleanup matters. We respond quickly across Adrian and nearby townships to stabilize the property and start removing corrosive residue. Calling 1-800-645-5377 right away helps limit permanent staining and odor.
Fire and smoke damage is a covered peril on most standard policies, including the water damage that often results from firefighting efforts. We prepare a detailed scope and photo documentation so your adjuster has what they need. Millers Restoration coordinates with your insurer while keeping you, the homeowner, informed at every step.
Do not wipe soot from walls or fabrics yourself, since improper cleaning can grind residue deeper and set stains permanently. Keep off charred flooring, and don't turn on HVAC systems that could spread soot through the home. Wait for our crew to assess the structure and begin controlled cleaning and deodorization.
