Had a heavy smoker in a 1 bedroom unit in a multi-unit building and the odor spread throughout the building. Need an estimate to remove the smoke odor and clean the furniture in the unit as soon as possible. Thanks.

I would like to schedule an assessment and cleaning estimate for a unit in a fourplex that I own. The tenants that vacated the unit were heavy smokers. The property manager had the unit professionally cleaned, new carpet installed, and new paint on the walls, ceilings, and trim. However, the cigarette smell is still noticeable. The painter did not wash the walls or ceilings before painting and did not apply any primer. We used a chlorine dioxide fogger which reduced the smell. Thanks.

Choosing A Fire Damage Contractor
Never make the mistake of hiring a general contractor to take over your fire damage restoration and mitigation services. General contractors can do patch up jo0bs, but they can't handle smoke removal, soot and ash elimination, stain removal, restoration of your belongings and the removal of toxicity and return of balance to the environment in the manner that a fire damage restoration contractor can.
Your fire damage restoration contractor should come with all the licensing requirements necessary to practice in your state. He must also be a member of reputed organizations in his field. A few associations in this field that your contractor could have membership of are the National Air Filtration Association, National Institute of Disaster Restoration and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. He should be an active member of these bodies and should participate in the affairs in this field. He should be abreast of the latest fire damage treatments and processes, and new technologies that are being used. He should have been in the fire damage restoration business for many years, and have experience mitigating fire damage on the same scale that you have suffered.
Your fire repair company should come with adequate amount of insurance coverage, including worker's compensation and liability insurance. If he plans to let out work to sub contractors, these contractors should be adequately insured too. This is very important to protect you from any liability while the restoration process is going on. Ask your fire damage restoration contactor for an estimated time frame for the completion of the restoration. He should be able to give you a detailed estimate in writing. Ask him if he undertakes clean up as well as repairs, and if he can offer warranties for his work. Lastly, ask him for a list of references of past clients who are happy with his services.
