Idaho fire recovery support

Your fire may be over.
Your recovery is just beginning.

Most families walk away from the scene into a process nobody prepared them for. We're local, we answer the phone, and we'll walk you through what happens next.

After the trucks leave

Then everyone goes home,
and it's just you.

Twenty people on your lawn, and an hour later the street is quiet and you're standing in the driveway holding a phone. That's the part nobody prepares you for.

We've done this before. One call and we'll tell you what happens next.

What actually happens

Nobody tells you the order.
So here it is.

  1. An empty wet street at two in the morning, tail lights leaving in the distance.

    Day 1

    The first night

    The trucks pull out around two in the morning and someone hands you a card. You don't know where you're sleeping or whether the house is secure.

    What we do

    We answer 24/7. We'll tell you what to handle tonight and what can wait until morning.

  2. A motel table in morning light with a phone, business cards, flyers, and an envelope.

    Week 1

    The calls start

    Your adjuster calls. A contractor you've never heard of leaves a flyer. Someone offers to buy the house as‑is.

    What we do

    We'll explain who each of those people is, what they want, and which ones you're under no obligation to call back.

  3. Work trucks parked along a residential curb in the early morning.

    Week 2–4

    Contractors, coordinated

    Five companies, five schedules, none of them talking to each other.

    What we do

    We connect you with vetted local contractors and keep track of who's supposed to be there when.

From the founder
