A structure fire changes a Choudrant property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Choudrant roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

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.
Choudrant, LA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Paperwork built to match what Choudrant, LA carriers actually ask for.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

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.
