When Fire Damage Goes Beyond Cleaning
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. Burned trusses usually need an engineer's repair detail or new trusses from the manufacturer. Then the rebuild follows code, permits and inspections.

Fire repairs touch almost every trade in a house.
Framing Repair and Sistering
Charred studs and joists are evaluated for char depth. 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
Heat can melt insulation on wiring inside walls that look fine. A licensed electrician should test and replace affected circuits.

Once framing and wiring pass inspection, insulation, drywall and finishes follow.
