Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Cleaning dry soot is generally less labor-intensive and requires simpler methods, making it less costly. Oily soot, however, adheres more aggressively to surfaces and demands specialized cleaning agents and techniques, often increasing the cost. The range for cleaning soot damage can be from $400 to $1,700, largely influenced by the type of soot.
For restoration work that includes smoke and soot, contractors commonly quote between $4 and $7 per square foot, with an average around $5.50 per square foot. However, specific interior fire damage cleaning costs can range from $8.53 to $10.66 per square foot in January 2026.
Cleaning and smoke removal can take anywhere from 2 to 7 days, depending on the size of the space and the severity of the damage. This timeframe includes removing smoke and soot from fabrics, furniture, and carpets, which may require extra effort.
Even a 'small' job can reach premium pricing if it involves extensive damage to high-value contents, specialized materials requiring intricate restoration, or severe odor penetration that necessitates advanced and prolonged deodorization techniques across a significant portion of a property, pushing costs to $10,001–$70,000.
The inclusion of material replacement in smoke damage restoration quotes depends on the extent of the damage. While basic cleaning tiers focus on remediation, more severe damage often necessitates replacing compromised materials. For example, if smoke and fire damage is extensive, a quote may include costs for replacing drywall, flooring, or other structural elements, similar to how fire damage restoration costs range from $2,031 to $51,000 in Augusta, GA.
