Fire damage to your home is one of the most traumatizing, frightening tragedies a person can experience. This is especially true in apartment buildings and multifamily homes, where dozens if not hundreds of families are affected by fire and smoke damage. When a fire rips through an apartment building, the property damage can be catastrophic. But the damage caused by fires doesn't end once the flames have been extinguished. Victims are left wondering what happens next now that their belongings are destroyed. When will they have a roof over their again?

Fire Damage Restoration for Apartment Buildings in McKinney, TX
Owners and managers of apartment complexes know that the safety of their tenants is a major responsibility. Unfortunately, nobody can completely control when apartment fires occur. Fires in apartments and multifamily buildings may start small, but they spread quickly, often destroying several living spaces. These frightening fires destroy prized heirlooms, important documents, and can even be fatal. However, the work is only beginning once the fire is put out and lives are saved.
In the aftermath of a disaster, figuring out the next steps is hard. During this difficult time, it's important to be prepared. As a property manager or owner, having a fire damage restoration company on your checklist of resources is crucial.
Unlike residential fires, apartment and multifamily building fires add several more layers of complexity and stress. In these situations, you deserve a restoration partner that you can trust without question, and that company is Atlas National Renovations.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
It's imperative to have someone with knowledge and experience on your side during a fire crisis.
When you call ANS, our fire restoration experts can help walk you through the steps you need to take once a fire occurs. This allows us to quickly gain control of the restoration project on your behalf. Once we have inspected your property, we'll provide a detailed report and scope of work for your fire damage restoration project.
ANS repairs all property damage caused by soot, smoke, and fire. Our IICRC-certified fire restoration teams construct the best plan to quickly get your building back to its pre-loss condition.
Because every property is different, each fire restoration project for apartment buildings is too. However, every fire disaster will have a similar process and will often include:
Contact ANS
Your fire restoration process begins when you call our headquarters. Our specialist will ask you a series of questions about the fire event that occurred. That way, we can arrive on-site with the proper resources and equipment.
Fire Damage Assessment
and Inspection
Our fire damage restoration team will carefully inspect the entirety of your apartment complex, from building to building and room to room. We do so to determine the extent of your apartment's fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a comprehensive restoration plan.
Board-Up Services
First responders like firefighters must break windows and cut holes in roofs to slow fire growth and save lives. Once the fire is out, our team can get to work, boarding up holes and constructing temporary fencing around the property.
Water Removal
If there is water damage associated with your apartment fire, we'll remove most of the water immediately. From there, we use air movers and dehumidifiers to help complete the drying process.
Smoke and Soot Removal
Within minutes of a fire, walls, electronics, and other surfaces are covered in soot. Smoke and ash continue to cause damage to every inch of your apartment building. That's why ANS uses specialized equipment to remediate smoke damage and remove odors. This process is often labor-intensive and can take time, especially for large fire damage restoration needs.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Using a variety of restoration and cleaning techniques, our team will help clean restorable items and sanitize units for safety.
Restoration
Getting your apartment buildings to their pre-fire conditions is our ultimate goal. Depending on the size and scope of the fire restoration job, minor repairs like painting, drywall replacement, and new carpet installation might be needed. You might also need major structural renovations like re-siding, re-roofing, new window installation, floor replacement, and more.
Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires
If you're a property manager or own multifamily residential buildings, the thought of an apartment fire is terrifying. What starts as a small fire can quickly turn into a catastrophic event, with your entire complex up in flames. However, one of the best ways of preventing these fires is to know more about them.
Share these tips with tenants to help prevent deadly apartment fires:
Turn Off Heat Sources
Data shows that a large number of apartment fires begin with cooking. Often, these fires are caused by the ignition of common items like rags, curtains, wallpapers, and bags. Encourage tenants to keep their kitchens and cooking areas clear of combustibles. Never leave a stove unattended for long, and don't leave burners on by themselves. Unintentional mishaps like leaving heat sources on are common causes of fires that can be prevented with a little forethought.
Electrical Safety
Like heat sources, electrical malfunctions are also common causes of fires in apartment complexes. It's hard to prevent all electrical malfunctions, but you can tell tenants to avoid bad habits. Tips include never using extension cords as permanent solutions and never using a cable if the third prong is missing.
Appliance Safety
Appliances are a part of everyone's lives. They're also standard equipment in most apartment units. But if tenants don't take proper precautions, these useful tools can spark deadly fires.
Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires
No matter how large or small, fires are nightmare scenarios for entrepreneurs with commercial properties. Fire damage can completely ruin storefronts and offices, leaving charred remains and burned-up files before firefighters arrive. To make matters worse, soot and smoke damage ruin your businesses' furniture, HVAC system, carpet, walls, and windows.
To eliminate health hazards and restore your business to its pre-fire condition, you need to bring in a team of professionals with years of experience in fire damage remediation. At ANR, we use commercial-grade equipment and cutting-edge tools to clean up the aftermath of your fire and rebuild your property. That way, you can get back to running your business and providing for your family.
Share these tips with tenants to help prevent deadly apartment fires:
Remove Smoke and Fire Damage
One of the most common causes of large commercial loss stems from smoke and fire damage. Of course, these disasters cause injuries and fatalities. But they also generate tremendous amounts of damage, rot, mold, and harm to structures. Not to mention the devastation that fire damage has to the appearance and livability of the facility. Fire damage restoration companies restore - and also prevent - the root cause of the fire. Electrical outlets, wires, and other fire-prone items will all be addressed to prevent a subsequent disaster.
Highly Skilled
The best fire damage restoration professionals are highly-trained, exceptionally skilled, and properly equipped to deal with every aspect of a commercial fire. From handling major renovations to taking care of the lingering effects of smoke damage, pro fire restoration companies take care of it for you. Hiring ANR means you'll be working with technicians who have the knowledge, tools, and materials to get the job done right the first time.
Insurance Claims
When you start the claim process with your businesses' insurance company, they'll ask whether you've hired a fire damage restoration company. That's because companies like Atlas prevent further damage from occurring and calculate an estimate of your total loss. You can submit this estimate to your insurance company, which may then provide you with resources to complete your company's disaster recovery mt-md-1

McKinney, Texas Ranked Best Real-Estate Market In The U.S.

McKinney and Frisco are great places to live. Loads of people are moving in. No wonder WalletHub ranked the cities in the top two spots in the U.S. real estate market.
WalletHub released its 2023’s Best Real-Estate Markets, finding McKinney Texas is the best real estate market. The study also found the city has great affordability and economic environment, making it WalletHub’s best place to buy a house. McKinney’s final score out of 100 was 74.41. While Frisco didn’t rank quite as high with a score of 74.27 out of 100, the city came in first for affordability and economic environment and third for the real estate market.
But Frisco and McKinney were not the only cities that ranked well. Denton was fourth with a score of 71.67, faring well with both market and environment. Allen came out sixth with a total score of 69.88, ranking at 10 for the market and fifth for the economic environment.
“Now is a pretty tough time to buy a home in many markets due to a lack of inventory, a shortage of listings, and a fast market when a home does come up for sale,” University of North Texas Professor John Baen said. “The cost of financing fees upfront and long-term interest rates have tripled from the lows of the COVID era: 2.5–2.75% vs. 7.5% today.”
But North Texas isn’t only known for its beautiful homes and good markets — it’s also one of the safest places to live. A previous study found that Frisco was ranked as the number one safest American city, followed right behind by McKinney in second place, along with Plano in the fifth spot. This was the second year in a row that Frisco was ranked as the safest American city by SmartAsset.
In order to identify the most appealing real estate markets within the United States, WalletHub conducted a comparison of 300 cities using 17 significant metrics. These metrics encompass a wide range, from the appreciation of median home prices to the rate of job growth.

H-E-B’s newest location in west McKinney will open at 6 a.m. July 19, H-E-B representatives announced July 5.
The 118,000-square-foot store, located at 8700 Eldorado Parkway near Custer Road, will feature a full-service pharmacy with a drive-thru, a fuel station with a car wash and a True Texas BBQ restaurant, H-E-B’s in-store barbecue eatery.
The store will also have an extensive beer and wine selection, a deli, a bakery and tortilleria, and live cooking demonstrations at its Cooking Connections section, according to its website. The McKinney location will offer curbside service as well, according to a news release.
The McKinney store was announced in mid-2021, and construction for the project began in March 2022. Improvements were also made to adjacent roadways ahead of the McKinney store’s opening.
The first Dallas-Fort Worth-area H-E-B opened in Frisco in September, followed by the opening of the Plano store in November. Other DFW-area H-E-B stores in the works include locations in Allen, Alliance and Mansfield as well as a second Frisco store.
The San Antonio-based company opened its first store in Kerrville, Texas, in 1905, and now has over 420 stores across Texas and Mexico, according to its website.

H-E-B held a groundbreaking ceremony on March 3 for a store that is slated to open in late 2023 at the northeast corner of Custer Road and Eldorado Parkway.
The new McKinney location will have a large zone dedicated to curbside pickup at the back of the store, a fuel station, a car wash, a pharmacy drive-thru and True Texas BBQ, H-E-B’s barbecue restaurant, according to a news release from H-E-B.
In addition to the ceremony, which included performances from McKinney Boyd and McKinney high schools, H-E-B announced that it would donate $10,000 each to five local nonprofits: City Church, Community Garden Kitchen, Hugs Café, Love Life Foundation and Seed Project Foundation.
“Our company, just like the city of McKinney, has a rich history in Texas,” said Juan-Carlos Rück, H-E-B executive vice president of North West Food Drug, in the release. “We have a passion and commitment to serve the cities in which we operate. We look forward to adding more than 500 McKinney partners to our HEB family and giving back to organizations that help this area thrive.”
This will be the company’s third store in Collin County.
“We are proud to be part of the growing H-E-B family in Texas and give our residents more options to keep their dollars local,” McKinney Mayor George Fuller said.

The details
The McKinney store features:
The store will also have an extensive beer and wine selection, a deli, a bakery and tortilleria with two tortilla machines, and live cooking demonstrations at its Cooking Connections station, according to its website. The McKinney location will offer curbside and delivery service.
The location, led by the store’s top leader Matt LoBello, employs a total of 750 people, with most hourly positions beginning at $15 per hour, according to company representatives.

How we got here
The 118,000-square-foot store, located at 8700 Eldorado Parkway near Custer Road, was announced in mid-2021.
Construction for the project began in March 2022. Improvements were also made to adjacent roadways, including Eldorado Parkway, ahead of the McKinney store’s opening.

What they’re saying
McKinney Mayor George Fuller, McKinney City Council members, city staff and H-E-B leaders were in attendance at a July 18 ribbon-cutting event.
Fuller noted the company’s philanthropic efforts in the local community began at the onset of construction on the McKinney store.
“How exciting it is to have a company like H-E-B here,” Fuller said. “What it brings to the community certainly as a store—118,000 [square] feet, this is awesome—but what they bring in just human values, in philanthropy to the community, they’re really an incredible company, an incredible corporate partner, and we are so, so blessed to have you guys here.”
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, H-E-B leaders commemorated the store’s grand opening with a $10,000 donation to the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary, a McKinney-based science museum and nature center.
“We truly believe that giving back not only allows us to better serve you in our stores, but more importantly, allows us to create strong communities where each and every person counts,” said Juan-Carlos Ruck, executive vice president of the H-E-B northwest food and drug division, of the donation.
At the groundbreaking event for the McKinney store in early 2022, H-E-B leaders gifted a total of $50,000 with donations of $10,000 each to City Church, Community Garden Kitchen, Hugs Café, Love Life Foundation and Seed Project Foundation.

Strategic Development: McKinney designates key districts to guide city’s expansion

McKinney is expected to reach a population of 400,000 residents by the time it’s fully built out, according to McKinney Planning Director Jennifer Arnold.
In addition to focusing on redevelopment in the east portion of the city, McKinney city officials are looking northeast to continue growth along its US 75 and US 380 corridors. Currently sitting at 80 square miles of build out, the city is projected to reach 115 square miles at full build out.
As McKinney grows, city officials have designated land to key districts to define how the city should ideally develop. Spanning across its total 30,000 acres, the city has designated around seven districts, including Honey Creek, Trinity Falls and Outer Loop.
Arnold said that as the city plans to develop these districts, it will rely on its comprehensive plan to help guide planners and developers on growing the community in a strategic way.
According to Arnold, some of the key developments that have come to McKinney’s northwest sector include the Painted Tree annexation, which took place in 2021. It’s a master-planned community including single family neighborhoods as well as multifamily projects located at US 380 and Hardin Boulevard.
A defining mixed-use zoning case that Arnold highlighted is the Wilson mixed-use development located at US 75 and Laud Howell Boulevard. It will include a mix of residential and commercial developments and is intended to be a live, work play area, she said.
Trinity Falls is aimed to bring significant residential development to the area north of the Honey Creek entertainment district.
According to Arnold, an existing development, Tucker Hill, will serve as an anchoring neighborhood in the northwest district.
Looking at the city’s comprehensive plan, McKinney is expected to see predominant suburban growth, with some commercial and professional center developments. Looking at the Outer Loop district, located in the furthest northwest portion of the city, McKinney is expected to see more urban living and employment center uses.
More information on McKinney’s comprehensive plan can be found at mckinneytexas.org/292/2040-Comprehensive-Plan.

While Dallas-Fort Worth grocery price increases moderated, taking the family out for dinner cost an average of 11.5% more than last year, according to new government data released in June.
Even with prices rising to eat out, McKinney has several spots where customers can dine without breaking the bank. Here are five affordable restaurants in McKinney that are serving up meals for around $10.
King Kups — 202 N. Central Expressway
Known for its birria tacos, elotes and carne asada fries, this food truck serves up California-inspired Mexican street food at a low cost. Owner and McKinney native Frank Hernandez opened the joint with his daughter after retiring from the Dallas nightclub industry, where he got a taste for tacos all over Dallas-Fort Worth.
“Doing nightclubs for a living, we would have California DJs come down, and we would go out to eat and they would always brag about how different their Mexican food was, so eventually I started going down there and tasting their food to see if the hype was real, and it was,” Hernandez said.

He decided he wanted to combine California-style Mexican food with Tex-Mex and opened King Kups in 2018.
Customers can get two of the birria tacos for $7 or quesadilla for $10. Chicken nachos ring in at $10 and chicken quesadillas at $8. The popular carne asada fries cost $9. The truck makes three types of elote: traditional, hot Cheetos and Takis all for $6.

The longtime drive-in off State Highway 5 in McKinney has been cooking up old-fashioned burgers, hot dogs and fried bologna sandwiches since the 1950s. While prices at the drive-in have risen over the years, most menu items still sit under $10.
“Being a part of a restaurant with such a longstanding presence in the community carries a deep sense of responsibility,” said Junghee Park-Kim, owner of Baker’s Drive-In. “Baker’s Drive-In has witnessed generations of families coming, creating memories and fostering a sense of belonging. It’s a privilege to serve as a place where people can reconnect with their past, create new memories and share special moments together.”
Burgers under $10 include the classic Baker’s Hamburger at $5.49, a Texas Hamburger complete with two meat patties is $6.39 and the Baker’s Chili Cheeseburger Burger is $6.99. The drive-in also serves a chicken strip or steak finger basket for $8.99.
“For us, keeping prices low means more than just offering value to our customers; it’s about ensuring that our community can enjoy a quality dining experience without breaking the bank,” Park-Kim said.
Other menu items under $10 include the crispy chicken sandwich, BLT, fried bologna sandwich, chili dog, six hot wings and a grilled or crispy chicken salad.
Hours: Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Baker’s is closed on Sunday.
Hydeout Cafe — 1751 Eldorado Parkway #300
This popular breakfast and brunch spot’s menu is full of breakfast classics like French toast, waffles, pancakes, crepes and breakfast skillets, as well as lunch items such as salads, wraps, sandwiches and burgers. Most meals cost around $11-$13.

Hydeout is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Cookie’s Mexican Food, located off East Louisiana street across from McKinney’s historic downtown, serves a variety of authentic Mexican dishes, including gorditas and lunch plates with meats like chicharron verde and bistec asado, for around $10. It is also open for breakfast.
Enchiladas for $9.99 are stuffed with chicken or cheese and served with rice, beans and a salad. Customers can also get three sopes or three flautas for $9.99, according to the online menu. Most of the gorditas — a dish made with masa and stuffed with a choice of meat including beef steak, spicy pork, steamed beef, lamb, goat, carnitas — each cost about $2.99.
Lunch specials include combo plates for customers to choose from different tacos, gorditas, guisados and quesadillas. The combos cost around $9.
