At Master Service Group, we pride ourselves on providing the full gamut of restoration services to both residential and commercial customers in a high-quality and ethical manner. Since the founding of this company, we’ve never been ones to stay complacent – and we’ve made it out mission to continue to learn and evolve with how we perform work as new information and technology becomes available. Our professionals are IICRC-certified and follow the latest industry standards when it comes to our offered services, and we’re constantly reading industry publications, attending industry trade shows, consulting with peers and seeking continuous education to further master our craft. We’re not one of those carpet cleaning companies who also offers water damage restoration services, we’re a restoration company that exclusively provides restoration work. In other words, we’re a restoration company for people who need restoration work, a company that’s investing in the latest technologies and equipment to better provide our services to you, our customers. It’s not uncommon to face obstacles in restoration projects, as the presence of asbestos, lead or mold can complicate certain jobs. Failure to properly handle these obstacles can lead to major health implications, which is why it’s important for such to be properly taken care of. We know how to handle these obstacles – and it’s because we take the time to carefully analyze and plan every project that we work on. Over the years, we’ve worked hard to assemble a team of engineers, architects, and environmental and safety consultants to be able handle all projects the right way, no matter how big or how small. As an accredited Better Business Bureau company, our reputation precedes itself – and it’s this great reputation that has helped us not just stay in business, but continue to grow. This was especially true of a time when so many others faltered at the height of the 2008 great recession. Property damage is never a situation t

"Jerry was not prompt at all with communication. Insurance company was looking for a more detailed estimate and breakdown of what was going to be done in each room to remove the mold and he refused. He didn’t want to spend the time to help me."

"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

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

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.

Smoke smell can linger for months or even years and will not go away on its own once it’s penetrated into your walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. The particles that give smoke its distinctive smell can permeate every corner of your home and can take a very long time to dissipate. Your best bet to combat smoke smell is a combination of thorough cleaning, air purifying, and replacing heavily damaged materials.

Professionals remove soot, restore structural integrity, and eliminate smoke odors safely.

It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to clean smoke damage, depending mostly on the extent of the damage and the method your professional uses. Ozone smoke restoration is a popular option that takes just 24 to 48 hours, but you may need multiple treatments to remove odors. For major house fires, it might be a better option to replace smoke-damaged materials, which could take six to 12 months.
