Essex County encompasses diverse communities — from historic Newark neighborhoods and Victorian homes in Montclair to brownstones in Newark and early 20th-century homes in Bloomfield and West Orange.
Aging electrical infrastructure, legacy wiring in older buildings, and the county’s dense urban-suburban mix contribute to heightened fire risks year-round.
Kraus Restoration is a trusted local company that has helped Essex County residents recover from fire and smoke damage for over 7 years — quickly, safely, and with full insurance support.
