Dearborn's tightly packed 1920s-1950s homes were built close and framed in ways that let smoke travel far. A fire in East Dearborn or the Aviation Sub can push soot through wall cavities and settle odor into old plaster throughout the house before the flames are fully out.
The team dispatched by Millers Restoration of Ann Arbor removes soot, filters the air, and packs out contents for off-site cleaning while stabilizing the structure. Near Springwells Park and Greenfield Village, smoke odor is chased to its source and neutralized while charred framing is removed and rebuilt.
A family-owned company since 1974, Millers gives Wayne County homeowners in West Dearborn a single crew for the entire fire recovery, from the first emergency board-up through reconstruction and final finishes.

Millers responds to fire and smoke damage throughout Dearborn and Wayne 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 Dearborn's closely built 1920s-1950s homes, smoke settles into plaster and woodwork quickly. We secure the property and begin soot removal and deodorization.
In densely built neighborhoods like the South End, smoke and odor can drift into nearby homes through vents, windows, and shared airflow. We assess your home for residue and treat any affected areas. Handling it early keeps odor from settling in.
Often yes. Many mid-century homes have plaster, trim, and built-ins we can clean and deodorize rather than replace by default. We assess each element to determine what is salvageable. Materials beyond saving are documented for insurance.
We remove soot from surfaces, treat porous structural materials, and deodorize with equipment that neutralizes odor at its source. Plaster and wood hold odor, so we treat those areas directly. The goal is a home that no longer smells of smoke.
