Q: How do you clean smoke damage?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.</p></div>

Q: Will homeowner’s insurance cover fire damage?

• <div><p>Homeowner&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-fire-restoration-takes.htm">as long as the fire damage restoration takes</a>. You&rsquo;ll just be responsible for paying the deductible.</p></div>

Q: Should carpet be replaced after a house fire?

• <div><p>Even if they look fine, carpets should be replaced after smoke damage since they can absorb smoke, soot, and water all the way into the carpet padding. Fully removing smoke, fire, and water damage from carpeting can be a complicated and time-consuming process, so replacing the carpet is a safer bet.</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."
