"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

Thebestairqualityandrestoration provides mold and air quality testing, mold remediation/removal and water damage restoration.Our focus is on you the customer to ensure our work is done right and meets your expectations. As the owner I strive to see that my business takes care of your issues. We work with a variety of customers and budgets to offer solutions customized to your needs.

"They were responsive and quick to schedule. While on the job they were very courteous and friendly. I hired them via Angie's list and ended up having to pay extra because I have 2 separate units in a 1100 sq ft condo. They explained that it was for the setting up the cleaning mechanism to each system and did let me know in advance and discounted the second unit...just seemed excessive for the size of the place, IMO. After the left I noticed that all the ducts they had removed had dark finger prints all over them. Dark finger prints stand out against a white vent cover. I also found little dark specs like little torn pieces of a thin dark sponge blowing out of my vents."

"Patrick and his team are wonderful. All paperwork was handled efficiently, communication was constant, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish.

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

Restoration services typically state costs ranging from a few thousand to several tens of thousands, depending on the extent of the damage.

Living in a house with smoke damage could be safe on a temporary basis, but it depends on the severity and type of smoke damage. If you have major smoke damage or soot present from a fire, you should relocate to keep you and your family safe. Breathing in soot can cause respiratory issues, and it can contain carcinogens, so move out until you get professional remediation done. Your insurance company may cover the cost for alternative housing while your professional works.

Fire damage restoration can take as little as a week to repair minor damage, but a full property renovation after a major fire can take longer than a year, including time to get approval for the work and get your contractors paid through your insurance company. Overall, it’s always best to talk to your insurance provider and your repair team about your individual situation to get the best estimate.

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.
