The Garage Fire Burned Through the Wall Into the Kitchen
A garage fire is a common way structural damage starts. Flames burn through the drywall separating the garage from the house, char the studs, and climb into the roof trusses above. Once the garage is cleaned out, the homeowner sees black framing, sagging truss webs and a ceiling that needs to come down.
A repair contractor first determines what can stay. Light surface char can often be cleaned and sealed. Deep char that reduces the cross-section of a joist or stud means sistering or replacement. Damaged trusses typically require an engineered repair or replacement trusses. Then the rebuild follows code, permits and inspections.

Fire repairs touch almost every trade in a house.
Framing Repair and Sistering
Each charred stud and joist is checked for how deep the char goes. Weakened members are sistered with new lumber or replaced.

Sheathing comes off and goes back on, and trusses are repaired per engineering or replaced, followed by new underlayment and roofing.
