These are real homes in Chicago and the western suburbs that Michaelson & Messinger brought back after fire, smoke, and water damage. The Balmoral, Luella, and Montana projects in Chicago were gut rehabs after house fires. The Overhill project in Norridge was a full rehab. Each one began with our licensed public adjusters negotiating the insurance claim and ended with our own crews rebuilding the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, stairs, basement, and exterior. Browse by project or by room to see the finishes, layouts, and craftsmanship our clients came home to. For before and after views of the fire damage itself, open the Before and After Restoration gallery.
