"My concern is that they overcharged for work (drawings/) and it took a LONG time to finish a project that should have been completed in 3 weeks. They did not present an initial contract to review time frame for completion of job and an estimate of the costs. Insurance agency stated that contractor often gave them billing costs AFTER the work was complete rather than BEFORE. When insurance company contacted contractor to come in the office to discuss concerns, contractor refused and wanted to be paid for the time he would be in the office. We needed to hire a new contractor who could finish the job in a timely manner!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

It depends. For new ovens, it’s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won’t hurt to eat it. If there’s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won’t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.

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’ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.

The first step is removing water or chemical residue, if applicable, after extinguishing. Next, your professional will clean up soot, remove damaged materials, treat the smoke damage, and complete any necessary structural repairs. After that, your pro will begin the build-back process and install finishes to restore your home to its previous condition.

Costs range from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the extent of the damage and affected areas.

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.
