Smoke odor removal questions

Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Colorado?

Generally yes, though many Colorado policies have separate wind and hail deductibles, often a percentage of the home's insured value.

Do Colorado contractors need a license?

Licensing is local. Check with your city or county, such as Denver's contractor licensing, and ask for insurance.

Is ozone safe for smoke odor?

Ozone is effective but harmful to breathe, so the home must be empty of people, pets and plants during treatment and aired out after. Hydroxyl generators are an occupied-space alternative.
