From the historic homes near downtown to the lakefront estates along Sheridan Road, our IICRC-certified restoration teams arrive fast, assess thoroughly, and restore your property to the standard it deserves.

We Respond Fast When You Need It Most
McMahon Services deploys crews to Highland Park and surrounding Lake County communities within 30 to 60 minutes of your call — around the clock, every day of the year. In fire damage situations, that response speed is critical. Smoke odor, soot residue, and water from firefighting efforts begin causing permanent damage to finishes, fabrics, and structural materials within hours of a fire being extinguished. The faster a certified restoration team is on site, the better the outcome for your property.
Comprehensive Fire & Smoke Damage Services
Fire damage is rarely limited to what the flames touched. In older Highland Park homes — many built with hardwood floors, plaster walls, and intricate woodwork — smoke and soot can embed deeply into porous materials and historic finishes that require specialized restoration techniques. McMahon Services provides a comprehensive, end-to-end recovery process that includes:
- Emergency board-up, roof tarping, and property securing
- Professional smoke and soot removal from all surfaces
- Odor elimination using thermal fogging and hydroxyl generation technology
- Water extraction and structural drying from firefighting damage
- Content cleaning, pack-out, and secure storage of belongings
- Restoration of trim, flooring, cabinetry, and architectural details
- Full reconstruction and rebuild services from our licensed contractors
We don’t just clean up after fires — we restore the craftsmanship and character that make Highland Park properties worth protecting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can McMahon Services respond to fire damage
McMahon Services responds to fire and smoke damage emergencies within 30 to 60 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and holidays. The faster restoration begins, the less secondary damage smoke, soot, and water cause to your home or business. Call us any time at (847) 566-4568 and a certified technician will be on the way.
Does fire damage restoration cover smoke and soot removal too?
Yes. Fire damage rarely stops at charred surfaces — smoke and soot penetrate walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and personal belongings long after the flames are out. McMahon Services provides complete fire and smoke damage restoration, including soot removal, odor elimination, structural drying from firefighting water, content cleaning, and full reconstruction. We handle every phase so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.
Will McMahon Services work directly with my insurance company?
Absolutely. McMahon Services is a preferred general contractor with many major insurance carriers, including Allstate, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, and USAA. Our team works directly with your adjuster throughout the claims process, handling documentation and assessments so the process moves as smoothly and quickly as possible for you.
Is it safe to stay in my home after a fire while restoration is underway?
In most cases, it is not safe to remain in a fire-damaged home until a professional assessment has been completed. Smoke residue contains toxic chemicals, structural integrity may be compromised, and water from firefighting efforts can create mold risks within 24 to 48 hours. McMahon Services offers free inspections and can quickly evaluate whether your property is safe to occupy and what immediate steps are needed to protect your health and your home.
