"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 !"

"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."

"Do not hire this company. Save yourself the hassle. They literally messed up every bit of work after a fire restoration. Communication is horribleâ ¦very slow process. Horrible work. I do not like giving bad reviews but I felt obligated to warn others. This is by far the worst work on a house that Iâ ve ever seen. I donâ t even think they did anything by code. This company shouldnâ t be allowed to operate."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals use specialized treatments to remove smoke odors and improve indoor air quality.

You’ll know you have smoke damage if you notice a lingering smoky odor, see soot or residue, or spot any discoloration of surfaces in your home. If you have any kind of house fire, always assume you have smoke damage and hire a professional who deals with smoke damage to assess the extent of the damage and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.

DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.

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.
