"We spent some time live with molds and we don’t know it was mold. We are trying 2 times to clean it out with some cleaning companies, but it was useless. Finally we got lucky with Bio 911- very professional, sharp, deeply attentive for details, even for our lifestyle depending on appearance of mold and compared with other not expensive. Thank you very much for Bio 911 and personally Kirill for outstanding work."

"Our bathroom was outdated and unattractive, so we wanted to hire a professional to help with the design and get the job done right. We found Builders Group on Angie, and Mike came out to give us a quote. What set Mike apart from the others was his attention to detail and how great he was with people. We decided to hire him, and we were happy with our choice from the very beginning."

"We recently had our 2 bathrooms renovated by Ovation Restoration. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. These guys do lots of custom work for high end customers and the initial quote was well outside our budget. Rick Arnold discussed with us several options to help reduce the cost. He recommended some big box store options for cabinetry and other fixtures while still allowing us to have some custom tile work done for the Jacuzzi bathtub surround and master shower. The final quote for the remodel was not the lowest we received but was very competitive. We encountered a few bumps in the road and the project ended up taking a little longer than expected. All of the delays were outside the control of Ovation. During the renovation we developed a leak with a water control manifold that could not be repaired or replaced. Rick immediately contacted a reputable plumber and coordinated with them to schedule a complete re-pipe of our home on short notice. The re-piping resulted in several holes being cut in the walls throughout the house. Rick ensured that the walls were repaired and re textured without an additional charge to us. We also had a delay because one of the big box stores managed to â loseâ one of our vanities and had to reorder. Through all the delays Rick still managed to ensure that things that could be done were being taken care of. The most pleasant surprise of the project was the interaction we had with all the workers doing the remodel. They were always on time, were very professional, and kept us updated on the progress. Many times they worked through the lunch hour. At the end of each day they cleaned up the area. We were impressed at the attention to detail each worker had and their desire for quality results. We would like to single out Josh (the demolition guy) and Jason. Josh in particular had great attention to detail and kept us continually updated of the progress. Jason is a master tile layer. His insight into helping us decide the layout for the shower and surround walls was paramount in our satisfaction with the final results. We will definitely contact Rick and Ovation Restoration for our next project. The final cost for the project matched the initial quote despite some minor modifications. Thank you Rick and all the folks at Ovation for transforming our bathrooms into something we are proud of!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair FAQs, answered by experts

The timeline for smoke damage remediation can range from a single day to several months, depending on the extent of the damage, the size of the affected area, and the methods used. For minor damage, such as removing cigarette smoke odors from a single room, the process might take only one to two days and typically involves deep cleaning, painting, and sealing walls. Some methods, like ozone treatments, can take 24 to 48 hours, though multiple treatments may be necessary. More extensive smoke damage, such as from a house fire, can take three weeks or longer to clean and treat. If significant material restoration or replacement is needed, the timeline can extend to six to 12 months. A smoke damage restoration professional can provide a more accurate estimate for your specific situation.

Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive, unstable gas that neutralizes odors by oxidizing the organic compounds it comes into contact with. During this oxidation process, ozone "donates" its extra oxygen molecule to the smoke particles, effectively eliminating their smell, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. While ozone can be effective for removing smoke smells from building materials and belongings like wood furniture, this treatment is best left to a professional, as improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health.

The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop.

The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that’s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.

Yes, most homeowners insurance policies cover fire damage and restoration, provided the fire was not set intentionally or caused by negligence. Accidental fires, such as those from electrical issues, cooking, or gas, are typically covered. Your policy will usually cover emergency services like roof tarping, the full cost of remediation and rebuilding, and may also cover alternative housing while your home is being restored. You will be responsible for paying your policy's deductible. It is important to check your policy details to see how coverage is calculated—it may be for the full replacement cost of damaged items or the actual cash value, which accounts for depreciation. To expedite your claim, contact your insurance company immediately and have all necessary documentation ready.
