Need a Smoke Damage Restoration Company Near You?

Many Metro Detroit property owners call us after a kitchen fire, electrical incident, furnace puff-back, or neighboring unit fire. Even when flames are contained, smoke can leave behind fine particles that continue to damage surfaces over time. Soot is often acidic and can stain paint, corrode metals, and permanently impact porous materials if not cleaned correctly.

Our goal is to remove smoke residue at the source, restore indoor air quality, and help you return to a safe, usable space. If you need immediate help, call (248) 809-5465.

Common Signs of Smoke Damage

• Strong smoke odor that will not go away
• Black staining on walls, ceilings, vents, or around door frames
• Soot film on surfaces, glass, and electronics
• Lingering haze or irritation in eyes and throat
• Odor trapped in carpet, upholstery, and clothing

If you are noticing any of these issues, professional assessment can help prevent long-term staining and odor problems.

Our Smoke Damage Restoration Process

1) Inspection and damage mapping

We inspect affected areas, identify where smoke traveled, and determine what materials are impacted. This helps us plan the most effective cleaning and deodorization approach.

2) Containment and air filtration

We may establish containment and run HEPA air filtration to reduce particle spread and improve air quality during cleanup.

3) Soot removal and surface cleaning

Soot can smear or stain if cleaned incorrectly. We match cleaning methods to surfaces like drywall, wood trim, tile, stone, and metals to reduce permanent damage.

4) Odor removal and deodorization

Smoke odor often lingers because particles are embedded in porous materials. We focus on removing odor sources and neutralizing remaining odor.

5) Contents cleaning and salvage planning

We help clean salvageable items and identify what may need specialty treatment. Learn more:
Contents Cleaning.

6) Next steps and repairs (if needed)

After cleanup and deodorization, repairs may be required. If rebuilding is needed, visit:
Reconstruction.

Smoke Damage Cleanup FAQs

How much does smoke damage cleanup cost in Metro Detroit?

Cost depends on how far smoke traveled, what materials are affected, the type of soot, and what contents require cleaning. An on-site assessment is the fastest way to get accurate pricing.

Can you remove smoke smell completely?

In many cases, yes, but success depends on removing the odor source from porous materials and contents. Professional deodorization focuses on neutralizing odors, not masking them.

Should I clean soot myself?

It is usually safer to avoid DIY soot wiping, as it can smear and permanently stain surfaces. Professional cleaning methods are matched to the surface type and residue.

Do you work with insurance claims?

Yes. We document conditions and restoration work to support the claims process when applicable. Learn more: Our Claims Process.
