Yes, Top Contractors uses thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to eliminate smoke odors from Texas properties. We also seal surfaces with odor-blocking primers. Complete odor removal requires proper equipment and techniques—household cleaners won't solve smoke odor problems permanently.

Simple water damage cleanup takes 3-5 days for drying, while major fire or storm damage can take several weeks to months for complete restoration. Top Contractors provides realistic timelines for Austin projects and keeps you updated throughout the process. We work efficiently while ensuring quality results.

For minor water damage, you can usually stay in your Austin home. Major fire damage, extensive mold remediation, or structural work often requires temporary relocation. Top Contractors helps coordinate temporary housing with your insurance company when necessary and minimizes disruption whenever possible.
