He walks a kitchen fire loss first thing, and before anyone cleans he's reading the smoke: greasy wet smoke from a low slow fire behaves nothing like the dry powdery soot from a fast hot one, and protein residue from a stovetop is nearly invisible but reeks. He sets containment to keep soot out of the unaffected bedrooms and runs air scrubbers to capture the particulate that's still drifting. The crew starts on contents, photographing and inventorying every salvageable item for the pack-out because the insurer needs it tracked leaving and returning. They dry-sponge the soot off the ceilings before any wet cleaning, working top down. Midday he's running a hydroxyl generator in a sealed room and explaining to a homeowner that the smell won't fully lift until deodorization, not just cleaning, is done. An adjuster wants the contents inventory. The afternoon is structural: scrubbing char off framing and sealing it. He knows the real test is weeks out, when humidity can reactivate any odor he missed. He ends the day tracking which phase each room is in, what's still at the off-site cleaning facility, and which jobs are due for a final deodorization pass.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a fire damage restoration technician's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a fire damage restoration technician — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
