"Although Norman was the best part of this terrible experience (nice, knowledgeable, and professional), the amount of money ?the office? charged me just to take down a portion of my ceiling (about 10x16) was outrageous. I asked for a quote to fix it only to find out that one was to take it down and one was to put it back. It cost me $3490 for about 4 hours worth of work and in that was $1125 just for an ?air mover? and a dehumidifier. I could have bought a dehumidifier for $189 that covers a 1500sf area at home depot. There is no way I would have paid $9000 for this job to take it down and put it back. No way I should have paid almost $3500 for a few hours of work for a job that was not completed (cause I was not paying another $5k just to hang drywall, finish it off and paint). I got another quote for 1/3 of that and they are going to replace my whole ceiling so it all looks the same. It would have cost me $3800 for the whole thing had I gone with this other company. I will not ever make this mistake again."

Capitol Mold takes the high pressure sales tactics used by large remediation companies, and replaces it with honest interactions. We complete honest and in depth analysis of each job and walk you through every step, with evidence. Available from start to finish, from Assessment to Remediation, we make all of it happen seamlessly. Our services includes Remediation and Assessments (Assessments are not completed for AIQ Test Requests, only for potential remediation) (IAQ Testing is better suited for professionals who only perform testing) Testing Minimums included 2 Air-O-Cell Tests ($440 Minimum not including the Control Test) We do work with insurance companies using XACTIMATE. Our Company is fully licensed and insured for Mold Remediation and Assessments. All standards are followed under NORMI Protocol.

"When a leak was fixed that has caused to water to seep through my floorboards, I learned that I likely had mold in the crawlspace area underneath the flooring. I opened this job on Saturday afternoon fully expecting that the necessary mold remediation would be expensive. Murray at CapitolMold responded right away and came the next day on Sunday morning. Murray assessed the situation and explained my options. To my relief, his assessment was that the mold damage was relatively minor. He quoted me for the work and also explained that because the damage was relatively minor, I could do the remediation myself. Murray took the time to explain in detail how to do the work and recommended the necessary materials. I was very impressed with his honesty and willingness to impart his expertise. I highly recommend CapitolMold. I will not hesitate to call them again in the future."

"I had a terrible experience with EXCEPTIONAL RESTORATION. From start to finish, their service was unprofessional, unresponsive, and completely lacking in accountability. Not only did they fail to resolve the issue they were hired for, but their communication was poor and their handling of the situation caused more stress than relief. Despite multiple attempts to get updates and cooperation, they showed no urgency or respect for the damage done to my property. I regret ever trusting them with such an important job and would strongly advise others to look elsewhere. You expect a restoration company to bring peace of mind — instead, this company brought me nothing but frustration and loss of time and money."

Fire or smoke damage recovery services FAQs

No, you don't have to reconstruct an identical replica of your home to have your insurance claim honored. Rebuilding on the same site is usually sufficient, and some policies even allow for depreciation recovery if you choose alternative designs. Be sure to contact your insurance provider immediately for specific coverage details and next steps.

The time it takes for smoke to clear depends on how much residual smoke is present and the size of your home. Professional ozone treatments can effectively eliminate odor molecules, making every room completely odor-free. With multiple treatment steps performed by experts, the entire process is usually completed within a week, leaving you with a safe and refreshed environment.

The first step in the restoration process is to contact a licensed restoration professional to assess all the damage and start remediation. Quick action is crucial to control moisture from extinguishing efforts, preventing mold growth and further structural issues. By acting promptly, you ensure every subsequent repair is carried out safely and efficiently, protecting your home and your health.

The time it takes to repair fire damage can range from one week for minor restorations to several months for extensive damage affecting multiple areas of your home. The duration of the repair depends on the severity and extent of the damage. By consulting with a professional restoration team, you'll get a precise timeline, ensuring that each necessary step is executed promptly and safely.

Ozone treatment is highly effective at removing smoke odors. It works by chemically breaking down odor molecules, completely eliminating them rather than just masking the smell. When professionals apply ozone treatment throughout your home, they ensure it's entirely odor-free and safe, leaving you with a fresh environment.
