We are a family owned company with over 15 years of experience. 90% of my business comes from word of mouth so nothing but the highest level of quality goes into every job.

"Called him, described job; he said he'd call back. He didn't, so I called again. He said he was busy but he'd call back in a couple of weeks. He never did."

"About 5 months ago I reviewed the services of Acquire Restoration and gave them one star for incomplete and incompetent service as well as for charges way over estimate. 3 weka ago they finally responded - belatedly kind of like their service. There were several inaccuracies in their response. It is correct that I signed for services prior to the start of work but the estimate that your former employee - that you fired - provided was not honored. We did have a carpet upgrade but we were also charged for additional time it took the dry walkers and painters to return to correct the job, which actually was never completed by the painter. In addition your claim that you verbally told me the color of paint used is inaccurate - despite numerous phone calls and requests no one ever responded and despite your claim no paint was left in the house. Your claim that you were screamed at on the phone is also very untrue and I would dare you to provide any proof of that. All in all, my review of 1 remains. Jeff needs to get over himself and provide quality service to his customers if he wants his business to continue"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won’t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.

Yes, mineral spirits are flammable and may spontaneously combust at temperatures of 200 degrees F or more. Storing them in well-ventilated spaces and disposing of them the proper way are the best ways to prevent mineral spirits or anything contaminated with them, like towels and rags, from going up in smoke.

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.

Yes, most homeowner’s insurance companies cover smoke damage if it stems from a covered issue, like a house fire or a wildfire. If you’re unsure, you can read through your policy or call your provider immediately after the event to see if the damage is covered. Make sure to document all of the damage, including damage to furniture and other items, when you file an insurance claim so you can be properly compensated.

In most cases, yes, a fire-damaged house can be repaired. The only exception would be if a house fire leads to major structural damage. In that case, it might be faster and more affordable to knock down the house and start from scratch. In most cases, though, repairs are possible with help from a professional.
