Awesome job on my house gentleman! Always will recommend these folk!
Curtis and the team at Millers were great. They responded to my emergency call immediately, and were on site cleaning up the water within hours and restoring a safe living environment. I recommend...
Fire in an older Ecorse home moves fast and leaves far more than char behind. Across this Downriver suburb — from the West Jefferson Avenue corridor to the Lincoln Park border area — aging homes with dated wiring carry real risk, and once a fire is out, soot and smoke odor have usually worked their way deep into walls, ceilings, ductwork, and belongings well beyond the room where it started.
Property owners near Mud Island and John D. Dingell Park rely on Millers Restoration of Ann Arbor as the crew that responds. They secure the home against further loss, remove soot from surfaces and framing, treat the lingering smoke smell throughout the structure, and pack out contents for careful off-site cleaning so a homeowner's belongings get a genuine chance at recovery rather than being discarded.
A family-owned Wayne County restorer since 1974, Millers carries an Ecorse fire job all the way through — cleaning, deodorizing, and reconstructing the damaged areas from framing to finish — so the finished result is a fully restored, livable home rather than a stripped-out shell handed back half done for the property owner to sort out alone.

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 Ecorse and Wayne County — including these neighborhoods and areas:
Much of Ecorse's housing is older, industrial-era stock, and aging wiring and heating equipment are common fire sources, particularly in cold Michigan winters. After a fire, we secure the property, clean up soot and smoke residue, and treat lingering odor throughout the affected areas. We tailor the work to how far the smoke and heat traveled.
Smoke moves through ductwork and settles into porous materials far from the fire's origin, so we track where it went before cleaning. We use deodorization methods that neutralize odor at the source rather than just masking it. In many Ecorse homes we can save finishes and belongings that first appear ruined.
Almost always, yes. Firefighting leaves behind significant water that can soak framing, insulation, and flooring, and homes near John D. Dingell Park already contend with high area moisture. We address the water and fire damage together so the wet materials do not turn into a mold problem later.
Reach out as soon as the scene is safe and released, because acidic soot keeps damaging surfaces and metals every hour it stays in place. Prompt cleaning improves how much we can restore. We respond to Ecorse and the surrounding Downriver communities at 1-800-645-5377.
