Will definitely recommend for any and all repair work for house!
Professional, clear and always keeping connected with the client. Mr. Octavio Urbina was always notifying us of each and every step, accepting and honoring all of our requests while working on the construction. The job was easily done at the promised time, and no damages or any other minor mess was made. The payment portion was also upfront and honest, never had to argue or hassle, just a really honest company. Will definitely recommend for any and all repair work for house!

Miguel Shiell
We couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for his outstanding service and professionalism.
We needed an expert second opinion from an independent fire restoration company after we had an issue with the one our insurance provided. Manny absolutely went above and beyond, making time the same day we called to go out to our house after his workday ended and provided us with thorough and incredibly knowledgeable advice - all on the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for his outstanding service and professionalism.

They listened to my concerns and were extremely personable.
I had a flood where both my top floor bathroom and bottom foyer area were flooded. I looked up mitigation services and I came upon Barex. Omar and Manny came out to my home and they were both professional and down to earth. They listened to my concerns and were extremely personable. Omar made sure that I felt comfortable with the entire process and I appreciated his bedside manner Thank you Omar and Barex.
Daisy Anderson
They opened the wall, took out all the bad stuff, dried everything properly and fixed it like it never happened.
We’d been fighting bathroom mold forever and nothing worked until Barex showed up. They opened the wall, took out all the bad stuff, dried everything properly and fixed it like it never happened. The wall looks brand new now and the smell is gone. Super easy to talk to, explained what they were doing, and didn’t cut corners. And Lucia from customer service was amazing, patiently answering all our questions. Feels great to finally have our bathroom back.
Andrés Mariño
They saved my family from mold in our home.
I’d recommend this company to anyone! They saved my family from mold in our home. We discovered mold in the home when my kid kept getting sick and discovered there was a water leak. They responded quickly and helped get the mold. They opened the walls cleaned it and gased our house with no issues and even showed us what was there. When they fixed the wall it looked like they were never there! They kept my home clean and overall were very efficient. I can’t thank them enough for their work!

Frequently Asked Questions
Fire Damage
What Should I Do After a House Fire in Lee County?
Once the fire department says it’s safe, contact your insurance company and a fire restoration company before cleaning anything yourself, since improper cleaning can spread soot. Don’t run the HVAC or turn on electronics, and avoid food exposed to heat or smoke. Barex can respond quickly to secure and assess the property.
How Much Does Fire Damage Restoration Cost in Lee County?
Usually $3,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on how far smoke and soot traveled and whether structural repairs are needed. Central HVAC systems can pull smoke into rooms the fire never touched, which widens the cleanup.
Is Fire Damage Covered by Insurance in Alabama?
In most cases, yes. Standard Alabama homeowners policies generally cover fire, smoke, and soot damage unless the fire was intentionally set. Barex provides detailed documentation to help your claim move smoothly.
Can Smoke Damage Be Removed?
Usually, yes. Professionals use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and targeted soot cleaning on walls, ceilings, and ductwork. Acting quickly matters because soot is acidic and can etch into surfaces the longer it sits.
How Long Does Fire Damage Restoration Take?
Light smoke and soot cleanup can take a few days to a week. Fires that damaged the structure can take several weeks to a few months, depending on rebuilding, permits through the city or county, and how quickly the insurance claim is approved.
How Do You Get Rid of Smoke Smell in a House?
Air fresheners only mask it. Smoke particles settle into drywall, insulation, carpet, and ductwork, so lasting removal takes professional deodorization like thermal fogging or ozone treatment. Alabama’s humid air can bring the smell back if the source isn’t treated.
