"Used their services twice, new chimney install and cleaning/inspection. Professional and friendly service. Reasonably priced. Performed quality work. Accommodating to our schedule needs. Offered good stove maintenance advice. Highly recommend."
"They were clean, and efficient and told us the same thing another Chimney service told us last year about some repairs. Joe is a nice guy and knows what he's doing. Ask for Joe if you need work done."
"Mike Haskin provided wonderful service. Being able to schedule the appointment on-line for next-day service and also having Mike call from his cell phone for confirmation made for a very efficient experience. When I told Mike I had a time crunch, he arrived early, with an extra worker, and was in and out of my house in less than 20 minutes! And the fireplace is clean and burning wood with no smoke. Great job!"
In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. 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.
DIY restoration for small areas is possible with proper safety gear and equipment, though comprehensive damage benefits from professional restoration.
Yes, carpets should be replaced after a house fire or significant smoke damage, even if they appear undamaged. Smoke, soot, particulates, and chemicals can penetrate deep into the carpet fibers and padding, making complete removal a complicated and time-consuming process. If water was used to extinguish the fire, it can also soak through the carpet and padding, creating a risk of mold and mildew growth. Due to these challenges and potential health risks, replacing the carpet is the safest and most effective solution.
Costs range from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the extent of the damage and affected areas.
Smoke damage will not go away on its own, but with professional remediation and restoration, you can return your home to its original condition after a fire. Trained smoke restoration professionals can eliminate smoke damage, which can affect areas of your home that are hard to see or access, and restore or replace smoke-damaged materials.
