A lot of Akron's housing went up in the rubber-boom decades, and those older West Akron and Firestone Park homes have plaster walls, original wood trim, and balloon framing that hold decades of cigarette and cigar tar. In the student rentals around the University of Akron, and in the close-set multi-family houses near Highland Square, smoke drifts unit to unit through shared walls and old gravity heat returns. Akron winters keep places shut up for months, so nicotine just bakes into the drywall, the HVAC, and the carpet padding. We pull the smell at the source instead of spraying over it: HEPA and activated-carbon air scrubbing, hydroxyl generators that are safe to run while people stay in the home, thermal fogging into the framing cavities, and sealing where tar has set. No ozone, no chlorine, no perfume cover-up. Most rental turnovers and smokers' homes are done in 1 to 4 hours, same-day or next-day, fully insured. If the smell is not gone, we are not done.
Most of the smoke jobs we do are cigarette smoke. A smoker's home, an apartment after a long-term tenant, a house going on the market, a car that came with a smell. Nicotine and tar leave a sticky film on every surface in the room: the yellow tint on walls and ceilings, the haze on windows, the residue soaked into carpet padding, drywall, cabinets and the ductwork. Air fresheners and candles fade by morning, and the smell comes back because the film is still there.
Painting over it rarely works either. The odor bleeds through new paint within weeks, especially on a warm or humid day, because the residue underneath is still giving it off. We go after that film directly and break down the odor molecules: source removal and cleaning, enzymatic and oxidizing treatments, thermal fogging, occupied-safe hydroxyl generators, HEPA and activated-carbon air scrubbing, and sealing where it's needed. Never ozone, never chlorine, never a cover-up. Cigar, fire, soot and wildfire smoke are handled the same way. We have same-day and next-day appointments in Greater Akron, we're fully insured, and every job is backed by our guarantee: if it's not gone, we're not done.
Neutral is the new scent standard. We do not leave until the odor does.
We break down the nicotine and tar film on walls, ceilings, carpet and vents with enzymatic and oxidizing treatments, thermal fogging and HEPA plus activated-carbon scrubbing. No masking sprays, no perfume, nothing left to wear off.
New paint over smoke residue buys a few weeks, then the smell bleeds through. We treat the residue itself, so you can repaint afterward if you want to, not as a way to hide the smell.
Landlords, agents and sellers can't wait weeks. Most smoke jobs are done in 1 to 4 hours with same or next-day scheduling, so you can re-list, re-rent or hand over the keys without smoke smell killing the deal.
After a kitchen fire, a furnace puff-back or a nearby wildfire, smoke and soot odor soaks into walls, ducts and your belongings. We treat the structure and the air, including that burnt, acrid smell ordinary cleaning leaves behind.
Green, non-toxic methods, and we never use ozone or chlorine gas. We rely on occupied-safe hydroxyl generators, air scrubbing and source cleaning, so your family, pets and devices are never put at risk and you don't have to leave the space.
Cigar and cigarette odor hurts resale and ruins the ride. We de-smoke exotic and everyday vehicles, cabins and cockpits without harming leather, wood trim or sensitive electronics, discreetly and on your schedule.
If the smoke odor comes back within 7 days of treatment, we come back and fix it free. Our technicians are discreet, uniformed and fully insured.
See the guarantee terms →The people who bring us in for smoke around Akron tend to fall into a few groups. Landlords on the streets off Exchange and around the University of Akron call between leases, since student tenants turn over fast and a vaping or cigarette smell can stall a sign-up. Realtors listing in Highland Square and Wallhaven bring us in before photos so an open house does not greet buyers with stale tar. Estate executors clearing a longtime smoker's Firestone Park home call when the family cannot stand to be in it. We cover Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Tallmadge, Fairlawn, and the rest of Summit County, and most jobs we book same-day or next-day. We treat at the source with carbon and HEPA scrubbing, occupied-safe hydroxyl generators, thermal fogging, and sealing where tar has set. No ozone, no chlorine, no fragrance over the top. Most are clear in 1 to 4 hours, fully insured.

It depends on the size of the space, the source of the smoke and how deeply it has soaked in. A single smoked-in car is a very different job from a fire-damaged home or a whole apartment. We give you a clear, upfront quote before any work starts, with no surprises, and every job is backed by our 100% guarantee.
Yes, in most homes. The smell lives in the nicotine and tar film on the surface, not in the paint color, so we treat that film directly. Repainting first usually traps the residue underneath, and the odor bleeds back through within weeks. If you plan to repaint, have us treat the space first and paint afterward.
Yes. Whole-home cigarette smoke is the most common smoke job we do, from a one-bedroom rental turnover to a house a heavy smoker lived in for decades. We treat walls, ceilings, carpet, cabinets and the HVAC system together, because missing any one of them lets the smell come back. Most homes are done in 1 to 4 hours.
Yes. We use green, non-toxic methods, and we never use ozone or chlorine gas. In spaces that stay occupied we use hydroxyl generators that are safe to run around people, along with source cleaning and HEPA plus activated-carbon air scrubbing. Your kids, pets and electronics are protected the whole time, and we're fully insured.
No. We remove the source and break down the odor molecules instead of covering them, so the smell doesn't return once the treatment is done. If you notice it again within 7 days, we come back and fix it at no charge. We service Greater Akron with same or next-day appointments.
Those older Akron doubles and converted houses share walls, attics, and gravity heat returns, so smoke from one unit ends up in the next. We treat the affected unit at the source with carbon scrubbing and thermal fog into the shared cavities, then seal the obvious pathways. We can also treat the neighboring unit. Most are handled same-day or next-day, fully insured.
Yes. Plaster and old wood trim hold a lot of tar, so we go past the surface: carbon and HEPA scrubbing for the air, hydroxyl generators you can stay in the home for, thermal fogging into the framing, and sealing where the tar has set into plaster. No masking and no ozone. Many homes are gone in 1 to 4 hours.
Akron homes stay sealed and the furnace recirculates for months, so outdoor smoke gets pulled into the HVAC and soft furnishings. We scrub the air with HEPA and activated carbon, run a hydroxyl generator through the living space and ducts, and treat fabrics at the source. Most jobs finish in 1 to 4 hours with no fragrance cover-up.
