Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Smoke damage can penetrate porous materials and HVAC systems, even without visible soot. For accurate estimation, contractors should use specialized detection tools, conduct odor tests, and inspect unseen areas like behind walls, in attics, and inside ductwork. Offering an initial inspection with these methods can build client trust and lead to a more comprehensive and accurate bid.
Assess water damage concurrently with fire damage. Identify the source, extent, and duration of water exposure. Your estimate should include costs for water extraction, drying equipment (dehumidifiers, air movers), potential antimicrobial treatments if mold is a risk, and replacement of saturated materials. Clearly separate these costs from fire-specific restoration.
Clearly outline the scope of work for each tier. Basic typically covers minor surface cleaning, mid-range includes more extensive cleaning and repairs, while premium involves major reconstruction, structural assessment, and full odor elimination for severe damage. Emphasize the long-term benefits of comprehensive restoration against hidden issues like persistent smoke odor or structural instability.
It's often best to quote content restoration (cleaning, deodorizing, and storing personal belongings) separately or as an optional add-on. This allows the client to decide whether to restore certain items or replace them, based on their insurance coverage and sentimental value. Be prepared to provide an estimate for this service if requested.
Permit requirements in Savannah depend heavily on the extent of structural damage. Minor repairs might not need permits, but any work involving structural elements, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC systems will likely require appropriate building permits. Always check with the City of Savannah's building department early in the project planning phase to avoid delays and ensure compliance.
