Wash with TSP.
TSP then good primer before painting
Soot is oily so you will need some kind of degreaser to clean it.

My insurance company took care of that. I would think that is covered, I'd check it out first since you paid for it.
Some insurance will pay for professional cleaning.
Do you have fire home insurance?
Usually upon filing a claim, your insurance provider refers you to a professional service that comes into your home to clean up, and repaint if necessary. This should be included in the benefits of your policy coverage.
