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. After cleanup, what remains is black studs, weakened truss webs and a ceiling that has to be replaced.
The repair contractor's first job is deciding what stays. 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.

Repair Solutions After a Fire
Repairing a fire touches most of the trades in a home.
Framing Repair and Sistering
Each charred stud and joist is checked for how deep the char goes. Members that lost strength are sistered or replaced.
Roof Decking and Truss Repair
Sheathing comes off and goes back on, and trusses are repaired per engineering or replaced, followed by new underlayment and roofing.
Electrical Inspection and Rewiring
Wires can be heat-damaged even inside walls that look untouched. A licensed electrician should test and replace affected circuits.
