In the following brief article, we will briefly cover the specifics of one of our specialties -- recovering buildings from smoke damage. We will also detail some of our history, our services, and why we feel every apartment manager and owner only needs one number on their speed dial for multifamily repair -- Ricochet Construction.

One of the most intimidating repairs facing commercial owners is recovery from all forms of fires. Fire damage can cover a huge range of scenarios, from small kitchen fires to larger, full-unit, or even full-building fires. The damages from fire come in many forms, from the fire itself, which can damage even the foundations of buildings, to the water used to put out the fire, to one of the most pervasive damage elements -- smoke.

There are many reasons why smoke is so damaging to buildings. First, smoke isn’t localized to just the location of the fire. Air spreads smoke throughout a rental unit, even into adjoining units. Smoke does not only affect the building materials, it is absorbed into furniture, carpets, drapes, clothes, and anything else that is made of “breathable” materials. Smoke damage also isn’t just visual -- everyone knows the signs of smoke damage -- ie, the darkened paint on walls -- but smoke also leaves a lingering smell that can make building materials uninhabitable.

So, what needs to be done to recover your building from smoke damage? First up, make sure you call a smoke damage expert -- meaning Ricochet Construction.

There’s nothing more frustrating for owners and property managers than to have to deal with multiple contractors across many different construction and repair projects. It’s just a fact of business that every new contractor you hire is both a potential great partner, and a potential problem. Every different vendor and business does things differently, and new relationships require new evaluation of their work, commitment, and trustworthiness.

Because multifamily and apartment repair and repair is so diverse -- including everything from electrical work, balcony work, painting, plumbing, all the way down to blacktop work in parking lots and sidewalk repair -- it is easy to get overwhelmed as a property manager or owner. At Ricochet, we create relationships that last. The convenience and trust built up when you deal with a single company like Ricochet can’t be over-valued, because it helps avoid delays, headaches, and, worst of all, unacceptable work.
