Property damage can turn an ordinary day into an overwhelming emergency. Eric Pettinger Construction is a trusted fire restoration company and water restoration company serving homeowners and businesses throughout Tehama County, California. Our team provides emergency restoration services, repairs, remodeling, electrical work, and complete reconstruction after fire, smoke, water, or related property loss. As an experienced restoration contractor, we combine dependable communication with quality craftsmanship, helping you move from immediate damage control to a safe, functional, and fully restored property with greater confidence.
Fire Damage Restoration From Cleanup Through Rebuilding
A fire can leave behind burned materials, smoke residue, soot, odors, water from firefighting efforts, and hidden damage within walls or ceilings. Even rooms that were not touched by flames may require professional attention before the property is safe and comfortable again.
As a fire restoration company, we help property owners move through each phase of recovery. Our work may include damaged material removal, structural repairs, interior reconstruction, electrical repair, remodeling, and other services needed to return the property to a usable condition.
Careful Repairs After Fire and Smoke Damage
Fire restoration requires a detailed approach because different materials respond differently to heat, smoke, and water exposure. Drywall, framing, flooring, cabinets, paint, wiring, and fixtures may each require separate evaluation and repair.
We identify what can be restored and what should be replaced. Our goal is to deliver lasting repairs rather than cover visible damage while deeper problems remain unresolved.
Water Damage Restoration and Property Repair
Water damage can spread quickly through flooring, walls, cabinets, insulation, and structural materials. A plumbing leak, appliance failure, roof issue, or sudden flood may create serious problems if the affected areas are not addressed promptly.
As a water restoration company, we help determine where the damage has traveled and which materials require repair or replacement. We then coordinate the construction work needed to rebuild affected areas and restore the appearance and function of the property.

Why Fast Water Damage Response Matters
Standing water and trapped moisture can weaken materials, create odors, damage finishes, and increase the risk of mold growth. The longer the moisture remains, the more complicated and costly the restoration process may become.
Our emergency restoration services are designed to move the recovery process forward as efficiently as possible. We assess the damage, explain the recommended work, and begin planning repairs with safety, quality, and long-term performance in mind.
Restoration Support When Your Property Has Been Damaged
Fire and water damage can affect much more than the area you can see. Moisture may travel behind walls and under flooring, while smoke, soot, and heat can damage building materials, electrical systems, fixtures, and personal belongings throughout a property.
Our team evaluates the full scope of the loss before creating a restoration plan. We focus on stabilizing the property, identifying damaged materials, completing necessary repairs, and helping you understand what should happen next. If you’re ready to discuss your situation, reach out to our team for guidance.
