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.

If your property has suffered fire damage, hire only a qualified and certified fire damage restoration contractorx to mitigate your losses and begin the process of restoration. Fire damage companies have access to special technologies and methods, by which they can control odors, eliminate soot and ash, monitor air quality and remove stains from your structure and belongings. A general contractor is simply not equipped with the same level of expertise.
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.
He should have worker's compensation and liability insurance. If he plans to sub contract any part of the fire restoration process to another company, that company should have the same amount of insurance. He should have the resources necessary to carry out fire damage repair and clean up. He should be willing to give you a written estimate for his project. Last but not least, he should be able to offer you a list of past satisfied clients in Tampa for you to verify his conduct and professionalism.
