"Although Norman was the best part of this terrible experience (nice, knowledgeable, and professional), the amount of money ?the office? charged me just to take down a portion of my ceiling (about 10x16) was outrageous. I asked for a quote to fix it only to find out that one was to take it down and one was to put it back. It cost me $3490 for about 4 hours worth of work and in that was $1125 just for an ?air mover? and a dehumidifier. I could have bought a dehumidifier for $189 that covers a 1500sf area at home depot. There is no way I would have paid $9000 for this job to take it down and put it back. No way I should have paid almost $3500 for a few hours of work for a job that was not completed (cause I was not paying another $5k just to hang drywall, finish it off and paint). I got another quote for 1/3 of that and they are going to replace my whole ceiling so it all looks the same. It would have cost me $3800 for the whole thing had I gone with this other company. I will not ever make this mistake again."

Looking for a professional that will give you an honest price and the best craftsmanship around? Armour Home Improvement is the company for you! Call us today, we look forward to speaking with you (301) 570-8041 or (410) 489-6004! (Please note that we only do complete remodels and not single item projects).

"I selected Armour over other contractors bids for my basement remodel and I am very happy that chose them. During the bidding process they answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, their proposal was thorough and clear, and they were happy to discuss my ideas, thoughts and concerns. The crew that did the work was fantastic. Those guys are pros. The scope of work included all new framing and drywall (up to code, unlike before they came in), replacing that damn stucco ceiling with new drywall, upgrading the bathroom and kitchenette, new flooring, new basement door and replacing the ancient basement window, plus upgrades to the interior basement stairs and bathroom exhaust fans. Everything passed inspection and I am a happy customer. I would hire Armour again in a heartbeat. Many thanks to Rob, Christina, Rudolfo and everyone who worked on the project."

Fire or smoke damage recovery services FAQs

No, you don't have to reconstruct an identical replica of your home to have your insurance claim honored. Rebuilding on the same site is usually sufficient, and some policies even allow for depreciation recovery if you choose alternative designs. Be sure to contact your insurance provider immediately for specific coverage details and next steps.

The time it takes for smoke to clear depends on how much residual smoke is present and the size of your home. Professional ozone treatments can effectively eliminate odor molecules, making every room completely odor-free. With multiple treatment steps performed by experts, the entire process is usually completed within a week, leaving you with a safe and refreshed environment.

The first step in the restoration process is to contact a licensed restoration professional to assess all the damage and start remediation. Quick action is crucial to control moisture from extinguishing efforts, preventing mold growth and further structural issues. By acting promptly, you ensure every subsequent repair is carried out safely and efficiently, protecting your home and your health.

The time it takes to repair fire damage can range from one week for minor restorations to several months for extensive damage affecting multiple areas of your home. The duration of the repair depends on the severity and extent of the damage. By consulting with a professional restoration team, you'll get a precise timeline, ensuring that each necessary step is executed promptly and safely.

Ozone treatment is highly effective at removing smoke odors. It works by chemically breaking down odor molecules, completely eliminating them rather than just masking the smell. When professionals apply ozone treatment throughout your home, they ensure it's entirely odor-free and safe, leaving you with a fresh environment.
