An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Cando, ND insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.

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.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
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 Cando fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
