The service
What to expect
This service focuses on stain sealing and repainting suitable interior surfaces after smoke or soot contamination has been properly cleaned. We review the surface condition, any remaining staining and the proposed coating system before confirming the painting scope.
Common project details
Work suited to your project
Stain-sealing primer
Select a suitable stain-blocking primer for the assessed surface and remaining staining.
Trim and painted details
Include suitable baseboards, casings, doors and other painted details in the agreed scope.
A coordinated finish
Plan paint colors, sheen and finish coats so the refreshed areas work together.
Smoke cleanup, fire-damage restoration and odor remediation must be addressed separately before painting. Stain sealing and repainting do not replace those services.

Questions we hear
Smoke & Soot Stain Sealing and Repainting questions
Is this full smoke or fire-damage restoration?
This service covers stain sealing and repainting suitable surfaces after proper cleaning. Fire-damage restoration, soot cleanup and odor remediation are separate work that must be addressed before painting.
Can you paint directly over soot?
Soot-contaminated surfaces must be properly cleaned before primer or paint is applied. We review the condition and readiness of the surfaces before confirming the work.
Will repainting remove a smoke smell?
Repainting is not a substitute for finding and addressing the source of an odor. Odor remediation may involve other surfaces or materials and should be resolved separately; we do not promise odor removal through painting.
Which surfaces can be included?
Suitable, properly cleaned walls, ceilings, trim and painted doors may be included. Send photos and the project location so we can review the surfaces and define the painting scope.
