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.

There was a fire in a trash can (which was wicker) in a bedroom. The floor and wall were damaged. The fire was put out without water. The room was smoke filled and still has a heavy odor. This occurred yesterday.

Choosing A Fire Damage Contractor
It's natural in the aftermath of a fire in your home to feel dazed and confused about your next course of action. It helps you to understand however, that there are super specialized professionals who are thoroughly qualified to get all the seemingly irreparable damage in your property straightened out. Never hire a general contractor to handle your fire damage restoration processes. A general contractor is just not equipped to handle stain removal, mold removal, sanitization, and indoor air quality monitoring the way a fire damage company 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. To get in touch with contractors like these in Portland, simply fill out the form, and we'll connect you to the most reputed fire repair contractors in Portland.
