The brick and timber that give the Downtown Chelsea Historic District its charm also carry smoke and soot in ways modern construction doesn't. A kitchen fire near the Main Street corridor can send smoke through old chase-ways and settle odor into century-old plaster within minutes.
The team dispatched by Millers Restoration of Ann Arbor starts with soot removal and air filtration, then packs out contents for off-site cleaning while stabilizing the structure. Near the Purple Rose Theatre and the Cavanaugh Lake area, smoke odor is tracked to its source and neutralized, and charred framing is cut out and rebuilt rather than patched over.
A family-owned company since 1974, Millers brings Washtenaw County property owners a single crew for the full fire recovery, from the first board-up near the Pierce Lake area through reconstruction and final finishes.

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 Chelsea and Washtenaw County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Once the fire department clears the scene and everyone is safe, call 1-800-645-5377 and leave soot-covered surfaces untouched. In century-old brick buildings, smoke works into plaster, woodwork, and shared wall cavities. We secure the property and start soot removal and deodorization right away.
In connected downtown structures, smoke and odor can travel through shared walls, floors, and ductwork into adjacent spaces. We assess your unit for residue and treat any affected areas. Handling it early keeps odor from settling into the building.
Often it is. Many homes in the Downtown Chelsea Historic District have original trim and built-ins that can be cleaned and deodorized rather than replaced. We evaluate each element to determine what can be saved. Materials beyond saving are documented for your insurance.
We clean soot from surfaces, treat porous structural materials, and use deodorization equipment that neutralizes odor instead of covering it. Brick and plaster hold odor, so we treat those areas directly. The result is a building that no longer smells of smoke.
