If there’s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won’t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.

Most projects take 1-8 weeks, depending on structural repairs, cleaning, and air quality restoration.

Costs depend on stone type, surface condition, labor, and whether sealing or deep cleaning is required.

For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.
