"Plain and simple, go with Rick and 1st Rate Construction. As a homeowner, I HAVE struggled to find companies where the person that quotes the work, is the person that does the work. Rick is the owner-operator of his company and will be your point of contact/work the job. He removed lead paint windows and soffit/fascia for me, and some asbestos ductwork. All great work. Thanks Rick !"

Here at Patriot Restoration we strive to exceed the expectations of every single customer we help.

"STAY AWAY FROM THESE BROTHERS!! They have absolutely NO idea what they're doing. They demanded a same-day $5500 check from my 87 yr old mother to remediate mold from my parents' basement due to a leak. Against industry protocol, they required the check BEFORE testing could be done to make sure they had done the job correctly. A 3rd party licensed inspector had provided a remediation protocol, which they ignored. They put all of my parentsâ affected belongings in 20-25 extra large garbage bags and told my mother if she wanted to retrieve items from the bags, she would need to drag the bags into the yard before opening them. Needless to say, the house did not pass a subsequent mold inspection, and it was determined by the inspector that they had made the mold issue worse by not following the recommended protocol. They wanted to charge $1100 to come back to "re-fog" and take out drywall - a basic measure that should have been done originally. I sent demand letters for a refund to no avail. We had to hire another company to do the job correctly so that my parents' home was safe and passed inspection."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, a bowl of vinegar can absorb smoke. If you want to use this method to reduce the smoke smell in your house, all you have to do is leave a bowl (or multiple bowls) of white vinegar out overnight. Alternatively, you can use bowls of baking soda, coffee grounds, or activated charcoal.

Homeowner’s insurance will almost always cover fire damage and repairs unless your insurer finds the fire was caused intentionally. In most cases, if the fire was an accident, your provider will cover the cost of emergency services, like roof tarping and emergency securing, as well as the actual fire damage remediation and buildback to bring your home back to its previous condition. They should also cover alternative housing for as long as the fire damage restoration takes. You’ll just be responsible for paying the deductible.

Ozone smoke removal makes use of an ozone generator to remove odors from building materials and belongings. Ozone is an unstable element that will oxidize organic compounds, so it can neutralize the odor when it interacts with smoke particles. Ozone can be an effective way to remove smoke smell from wood furniture, but it’s best to leave this treatment to a professional. Living in a house with smoke damage isn’t always safe, but improper use of an ozone generator can also be dangerous to your health.

DIY restoration for small areas is possible with proper safety gear and equipment, though comprehensive damage benefits from professional restoration.

Smoke smell can linger for months or even years and will not go away on its own once it’s penetrated into your walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. The particles that give smoke its distinctive smell can permeate every corner of your home and can take a very long time to dissipate. Your best bet to combat smoke smell is a combination of thorough cleaning, air purifying, and replacing heavily damaged materials.
