A question we hear often in Edgewater is whether a general contractor can handle fire repair the same way they'd handle a standard renovation, and the honest answer is that fire repair carries structural and code considerations a typical remodel doesn't.
Heat-compromised framing can look structurally sound while having lost a meaningful percentage of its load-bearing strength, which a contractor without fire-specific training might not know to test for.
