Q: Does homeowners insurance cover smoke damage?

• <div><p>Yes, most homeowner&rsquo;s insurance companies cover smoke damage if it stems from a covered issue, like a house fire or a wildfire. If you&rsquo;re unsure, you can read through your policy or call your provider immediately after the event to see if the damage is covered. Make sure to document all of the damage, including damage to furniture and other items, when you file an insurance claim so you can be properly compensated.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common cause of kitchen fires?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover acts of nature?

• <div><p>Yes, most insurance plans cover acts of nature. In policy documents, this also may be called &ldquo;Acts of God&rdquo; or &ldquo;natural disasters.&rdquo; However, not all acts of nature are covered by your policy, and the extent to which they&rsquo;re covered depends on your specific contract. Check your policy documents to understand your coverage limits and exclusions.</p></div>

Q: What is the first step in fire damage restoration?

• <div><p>The first step in fire damage restoration is having a pro come in right away to help control moisture (if authorities used water to extinguish a fire at your home). Skipping moisture removal puts your home at risk for invasive mold and rot that can cause added property damage and health issues. Once you have the bulk of the water out, you&rsquo;ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.</p><p> </p></div>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.

"Krystal helped me from start to finish with the design. She made the overwhelming process seem easy! The installers came when scheduled which is a HUGE plus! The crew was fun to work with and very professional. We did not hire a contractor, we tore out the walls, did trim and whatever the Carpet One crews were not hired for. Jerry, Adam and Brian were always willing to help us with tips and hints. These guys were simply the best. My husband hurt his back during the remodel so Adam put up the trim behind the bed so we could use the master that night since my husband was unable to do it. That is just one example of how helpful these guys are. Jerry made the built in furniture for the office and the mud room, along with floating shelves. Everything turned out beautiful and exactly liked I pictured. He does amazing work and planned every little detail. We will definitely hire them when we need work done in the future."
