Cigarette Smoke Doesn't Leave on Its Own

Years of indoor smoking leave more than an odor. Nicotine and tar bond to walls, ceilings, carpet, ductwork, and furniture. There’s a yellow film on everything, and the smell survives fresh paint, open windows, and every air freshener on the market. For landlords, home buyers, and anyone trying to reclaim a space, it can make a property hard to live in and harder to sell.
Quick Response Restoration removes cigarette smoke odor from homes, apartments, and commercial buildings across Saratoga County and the Capital Region. We use the same equipment and techniques we use on fire and smoke jobs, because it’s the same problem at a slower speed. The key is treating the source. Cleaning every surface, cleaning the ducts, and then deodorizing the whole space. Skip any of those steps and the smell comes back on the first humid day.

Our Restoration Process

Find Where It's Hiding

We inspect walls, soft goods, and HVAC to see where nicotine residue has built up.

Deep Clean

Walls, ceilings, fixtures, cabinets, and ductwork are cleaned to remove tar and nicotine film.

Deodorize and Seal

Hydroxyl, ozone, and odor-sealing primers get rid of the smell instead of covering it.

How We Get Rid of Cigarette Odor Permanently

Every surface gets attention. Hard surfaces are washed, ductwork is cleaned, and contents are treated. Some things are past saving. Heavily saturated carpet padding or drywall sometimes has to come out, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case.
After cleaning, we deodorize with professional equipment and, where needed, apply a sealing primer before repainting. The result is a property that actually smells clean, not one that smells clean for a week.
Whether you’re turning over a rental, getting a house ready to sell, or just want your own home back, we’ve been doing this in the Capital Region for over 25 years.
