If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Paterson, NJ fire claims get partially denied.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Paterson properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.
The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Paterson fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
