There was a fire in a trash can (which was wicker) in a bedroom. The floor and wall were damaged. The fire was put out without water. The room was smoke filled and still has a heavy odor. This occurred yesterday.

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.

It helps if you hire a contractor who has experience restoring properties on the same scale of fire damage as yours.
