Smoke Damage FAQs
Your Questions, Answered
Most smoke and odor projects run $2,000-$15,000, depending on the size of the home and how far smoke traveled. We assess for free and bill insurance directly.
Typically a few days to two weeks, depending on the extent of residue and odor and whether HVAC cleaning is required.
Yes. We don't mask odor, we eliminate it, cleaning affected surfaces, treating the HVAC system, and using thermal fogging or hydroxyl/ozone treatment to neutralize it at the source.
Surface cleaning and deodorizing need no permit. Any structural repairs do, and AZA Restoration handles the permitting and code compliance.
Yes. With the right approach, smoke odor can be eliminated rather than masked. AZA Restoration combines deep soot cleaning, HVAC decontamination, and advanced deodorization — thermal fogging, hydroxyl, and ozone — to neutralize odor molecules at the source so the smell does not return.
Soot requires specialized technique, not ordinary cleaning. We use dry chemical sponges, HEPA vacuuming, and targeted wet cleaning matched to each surface and soot type, so residue is lifted without smearing or driving it deeper into walls, ceilings, and fixtures.
Yes — and it is essential. Smoke gets pulled into your ductwork and recirculates through every room. AZA Restoration cleans and decontaminates the HVAC system and ducts so your air handler stops spreading soot and odor back into clean spaces.
Most smoke damage projects take a few days to about a week, depending on how far the smoke spread and how many contents need cleaning. We assess the full extent up front and give you a clear timeline before work begins.
In most cases, yes — smoke and soot damage from a fire, including a fire in a neighboring unit, is typically covered. AZA Restoration bills your insurance company directly and documents the entire loss to make your claim as smooth as possible.
