Fire damage restoration costs $27,477 on average, with most homeowners paying $3,083 to $52,031, according to Angi and HomeAdvisor.1,2 Fixr publishes a range of $3,000 to $40,000, with an $11,900 average for cleanup, smoke and soot removal, and sanitation of multiple rooms.3 Minor smoke damage can run as low as $800, while a major fire with significant structural damage can reach $180,000.1 Prices below are national averages*.
*National averages, not local quotes. Angi figures are from a guide updated September 2026, HomeAdvisor figures from a guide updated June 2026, and Fixr figures from a guide updated January 2025. Your price depends on fire type, damage extent, home size, and location.
Safety note: ozone treatment, one of the deodorizing services priced below, uses an ozone generator. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that inhaled ozone can damage the lungs, and that relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath, and throat irritation; no federal agency has approved these devices for use in occupied spaces.4
