Who They're For and What They Solve
Smoke damage restoration is the professional process of removing soot residue, neutralizing embedded odor, and repairing surfaces affected by smoke exposure. It goes far beyond wiping walls. Technicians identify the residue type, select matching cleaning chemistry, decontaminate air systems, and treat every porous material that absorbed smoke particles.
You need this service after any fire event, no matter how small. Kitchen grease fires, electrical faults, furnace puffbacks, candle accidents, and smoke drifting in from a neighboring structure all leave the same problem behind. Property managers and homeowners typically call when odor persists after their own cleaning attempts failed.
Left untreated, smoke damage gets permanent. Soot turns acidic within seventy-two hours and begins etching glass, corroding metal, and staining grout and drywall beyond recovery. Odor molecules settle deeper into insulation, fabric, and ductwork every day. What could have been cleaned in week one becomes replacement work by month two.
Is It Time?
If any of these sound familiar, the damage is still active.
Our Services
Our smoke damage restoration covers every stage of recovery, from residue identification through final odor verification.
We test the residue first dry smoke, wet smoke, protein, or fuel oil each require different chemistry. Technicians use dry sponging, HEPA vacuuming, and targeted solvents so residue lifts away cleanly instead of setting into the surface.
Thermal fogging and hydroxyl generation reach the same microscopic spaces the smoke reached. This is the right approach when odor has penetrated drywall, insulation, or framing. The result is neutralized odor at the molecular level, not a fragrance layered on top.
We clean the full system supply lines, return lines, coils, and blower housing. This is essential whenever the system was running during the fire, because untreated ductwork reintroduces smoke odor into every room within days of cleanup.
Ultrasonic cleaning recovers hard contents like fixtures, electronics, and décor. Textiles receive specialized deodorization, and walls or ceilings are sealed before repainting so no residual odor bleeds through the new finish.
Not sure which approach your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what’s necessary, no upsells.

How It Works

We identify the smoke type, map affected areas, photograph everything, and hand you an itemized scope with clear pricing before work begins.
Crews clean surfaces, treat ductwork, run odor neutralization, and restore recoverable contents. Most residential projects run three to seven days.
We confirm odor elimination, walk the property with you, and issue your written guarantee before closing the file.
Pricing
We give real numbers upfront. Vague answers help nobody standing in a damaged property.
Cost depends on four factors: the square footage affected, the residue type (protein and fuel oil residue require more labor than dry smoke), whether HVAC decontamination is needed, and how much content restoration versus replacement is involved.
Most residential smoke damage restoration projects fall between $3,500 and $12,000. Isolated single-room damage often runs $1,500 to $3,000. Whole-home restoration after a significant structure fire can exceed $25,000.
Your assessment and written scope are free. In most cases we bill your insurance carrier directly, so your out-of-pocket cost is limited to your deductible.
Fully removable in most cases when addressed early. Permanent staining and corrosion typically begin after seventy-two hours of untreated soot exposure.
Odor molecules embed in porous materials and ductwork that surface cleaning never reaches. Heat and humidity reactivate them, which is why professional neutralization is necessary.
Most homeowners and commercial policies cover it under fire-related loss. We document the full scope and bill your carrier directly.
Fire damage restoration addresses structural burn damage and rebuild work. Smoke damage restoration targets soot, residue, and odor — and our fire damage restoration structural recovery if your property sustained both.
Single-room projects typically take two to three days. Whole-home restoration generally runs one to three weeks depending on scope.
Often no, if damage is contained. We isolate work zones and advise you honestly after the assessment.
Same-day on emergency calls. Call 951-458-6466 and we dispatch a certified technician immediately.
Every hour soot sits untreated, more of your property becomes unrecoverable. Our certified technicians are available now assessment is free and there is no obligation.
