Labor in Columbus, Ohio runs roughly $50–$100 per hour for licensed smoke damage contractors. Materials are the second-biggest line item and can vary by 30% depending on grade. The third factor — and the one most people forget — is prep work: protecting adjacent areas, hauling debris, and post-job cleanup.
Small projects (under 100 square feet) typically run $300–$1,500. Mid-size projects (100–500 sq ft) usually fall in the $1,500–$5,000 range. Large or full-home projects start at $5,000 and can exceed $15,000 for high-end finishes.
Three hidden costs trip up most Columbus homeowners: rush fees if the timeline is tight, finish-material upgrades chosen mid-project, and structural repairs revealed once work begins. A good Columbus contractor flags these possibilities up front rather than as surprise change orders.
