    After our kitchen fire I thought the whole house would smell like smoke forever. Catalyst’s hydroxyl treatment actually got the smell out. Insurance loved the documentation too.

    Honest, fast, and clearly experienced with insurance claims. The documentation they provided was way more detailed than what we got from the previous restoration company we tried.
