Saline's blend of Victorian-era homes and mid-century subdivisions means fire behaves differently block to block. In an older house near Downtown Saline, smoke travels through open framing and settles odor into century-old plaster; in the Woodland Hills area, soot spreads through modern ductwork.
The team dispatched by Millers Restoration of Ann Arbor removes soot, runs air scrubbers, and packs out contents for off-site cleaning while stabilizing the structure. Near the Macon Road area and the historic Davenport House, smoke odor is neutralized at its source and fire-damaged framing is removed and rebuilt.
A family-owned company since 1974, Millers gives Washtenaw County homeowners near Mill Pond Park a single crew for the entire fire recovery, from the first emergency board-up through reconstruction and finishing.

Once the fire department clears the scene and everyone is safe, call 1-800-645-5377 and leave soot-covered surfaces untouched. Smoke becomes harder to remove the longer it sits. We secure the property and begin soot removal and deodorization.
Smoke moves through HVAC ductwork and settles into porous materials well beyond the flames, which affects Victorian-era Saline homes with original woodwork. Soot and odor can reach closets, upper floors, and wall cavities. We clean affected surfaces, treat ductwork, and deodorize.
Often yes. Victorian-era homes near the Davenport House and downtown have original trim we can clean and deodorize rather than replace by default. We assess each element for salvageability. Materials beyond saving are documented for insurance.
We clean soot from surfaces, treat porous structural materials, and deodorize with equipment that neutralizes odor at its source. Older homes hold odor in wood and plaster, so we treat those areas directly. The goal is a home clear of smoke odor.
