Wildfires don’t just destroy homes—they leave behind invisible damage that many homeowners don’t realize is there. Smoke damage is a serious hazard that can linger long after the flames are out, affecting the structure of your home and the health of your family.

At Dwell Roofing & Exteriors, we are expanding our services to include smoke cleanup mitigation in DFW, Plano, Allen, McKinney, Frisco, and surrounding areas, helping homeowners protect their investments from the long-term effects of smoke and airborne toxins.

How Smoke Damage Threatens Your Home & Health

In the wake of wildfires, toxic pollution from burning plastics, batteries, and synthetic materials spreads through the air. Even if your home wasn’t directly affected by fire, these airborne contaminants can still settle on your roof, walls, and ventilation system, leading to costly damage over time.

  1. Toxic Airborne Particles – When man-made materials burn, they release dangerous chemicals that travel for miles, coating homes with invisible soot and harmful residue.
  2. Lingering Odors & Residue – Smoke and soot create acidic buildup that eats away at exterior surfaces, roof shingles, and siding. It also traps odor deep inside walls, carpets, and insulation, requiring professional treatment.
  3. Hidden Structural Damage – Smoke exposure weakens roofing materials, gutters, and exteriors, making your home more vulnerable to leaks and deterioration.
  4. Health Risks – Poor indoor air quality from smoke residue can lead to respiratory issues, eye irritation, and worsened asthma or allergy symptoms.

Signs Your Home Has Smoke Damage

Not all smoke damage in your home is visible. Some contamination may be hidden in your home’s structure. Look for these warning signs:

  1.  Lingering smoke odor inside walls, furniture, or air vents
  2. Discoloration on walls, ceilings, or exterior surfaces
  3. Soot residue or ash buildup in your attic, vents, or gutters
  4. Increased allergies or respiratory issues indoors

If you notice any of these, don’t wait—smoke damage worsens over time and leads to higher repair costs if not addressed. Any money you spend on smoke damage cleanup can be applied toward future roofing repairs or a full roof replacement with Dwell Roofing & Exteriors.

After many failed attempts with trying to reach the roofing company that previously serviced my roof and where I have my warranty… I reached out to Dwell Roofing & Exteriors. I had a roof leak that was causing damage to my living room wall. It was getting worse and we had more rain coming. Josh came out quickly, assessed the damage and found the roof leak. He quoted me upfront and the cost was fair and reasonable. They took before and after photos and did a phenomenal job. Very impressed with the quality of work, how quickly they got it done, how respectful and friendly the crew were and didn’t overcharge me. Will definitely use this company again! A+ rating!
Response from the owner:Hello Stefanie, Thank you for your trust in our company and for sharing your experience with Josh and Dwell Roofing! Roof leaks can be very tricky to assess and repair but we do our best and stick with it until the problem is solved! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any additional exterior leak repairs. Thanks again,
I purchased my home in 2014 and had always dreaded the day I’d have to tackle major repairs - especially the siding. After years of windstorms here in DFW, that day finally came. A major storm last year caused damage to both the exterior (roof and siding) and interior (water damage). Unfortunately, my go-to roofing company completely dropped the ball -- delayed claims, no follow-ups, and a total lack of transparency.

Seeing the writing on the wall that I couldn't depend on them, I decided to explore alternative providers. That's when I discovered Dwell Roofing, and from the jump, they stood out. Their website impressed me with transparent, educational content -- with no hard sales -- just solid info. After connecting with their team, I was even more impressed. They were knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely helpful—nothing like the stereotypical “roofing salesman” we all dread.

They quickly responded to my request for estimates, offered fair pricing, and delivered excellent work. Based on that stellar experience, I returned a few months later to have all my siding replaced, and I couldn't be happier. The pricing was fair and the results were beyond my expectations. My house looks brand new.

But what truly made the experience outstanding was working with Josh De La Rosa. I had a million questions, and Josh always responded quickly with patience, kindness, and professionalism, even after hours. He even brought over paint samples in person to help me decide on a color, too. That gesture sure meant a lot and made our decision making process about the color of the home much easier. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way.

Thanks to Josh, Dwell is now my go-to company for any future work. To the team at Dwell: Josh is the reason you’ve now got a lifelong customer -- please give that man a raise!!
