cig smoke odor

[bucketmouth64]

I'm going to be looking at a house to buy and was told the owner smoked in the house. Home is 5 years old and main floor finished, basement unfinished. I was wondering if I'm interested in making a bid how do you get rid of the smoke odor from a house? From what I see there's no carpeting except in bedrooms, so those could be replaced. What else could be done so I don't notice the odor?

Find someone that will rent you an ozone machine. Usually a cleaning company or carpet cleaner will have one to rent. My advice is to set it on a timer. Let it run then have the timer shut it off way before you plan to renter the room. 

Good luck

Painting the walls with Kilz oil base primer or Zinnzer BIN shellac based primer will seal in the odor.
