Before You Call Michaelson & Messinger Insurance Specialists, LLC

1. How will you deal with smoke odor inside wall cavities and the HVAC ducts?
2. Do you do contents pack out, and will I get an itemized inventory?

Ask for the contractor license your city or village requires, since Illinois has no statewide general contractor license, and check it with the local building department. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the technicians.
