Q: Will smoke odors go away on their own?

• <div><p>Most smoke odors will subside over time if you air out the materials holding onto them, but they often won&rsquo;t completely go away on their own. If you&rsquo;re dealing with stubborn smoke odors on furniture and building materials, begin by deep cleaning and deodorizing with baking soda or activated charcoal. You may need to repeat treatment. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-for-smoke-damage.htm">hire a smoke damage restoration company</a> for help.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix discolored carpet?

• <div><p>Use baking soda and vinegar or shaving cream to fix your carpet stains. But if you prefer a quicker solution, rent a carpet shampooer and use an enzyme-based cleaner to treat and resolve your discolored carpet issue. </p></div>

The Brimm brothers did an amazing job laying the carpet for us in our addition. They pay close attention to detail and make sure the finished project looks good. Very pleased with their work and would hire them again.

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.
