We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Florida properties that got burned twice — once by the fire, once by a slow restoration company. Our crews are staged locally specifically to close that gap.
Call +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Florida area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.
Because our crews work 10921 regularly, they already understand which Florida permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Florida, NY, and our Florida jobs always start with a signed, itemized scope rather than a verbal ballpark.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
A real technician answers the Florida line, any hour.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Florida job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Florida, NY insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.
Phased scopes that let Florida businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.
We rebuild to Florida, NY code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Structural safety, moisture, and soot readings get documented before any work starts.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Final walkthrough happens before we call the Florida job complete.
A scope and number in writing before any work starts on your Florida property.
Same-day arrival is realistic because we're already positioned near Florida.
We talk to your adjuster directly and send documentation they can act on.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

Every Florida job carries the same written guarantee regardless of size — if our work doesn't match the documented scope, fixing it is on us.
The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
One coordinator manages your Florida job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Florida fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
Our garage caught fire from an old freezer around 2am, and someone from Meridian Smoke Damage was already boarding up the side door before the fire department finished their report. — Homeowner, Florida
The smoke smell in our Florida rental had survived two other cleaning attempts before we called Meridian Smoke Damage. Their fogging treatment finally got rid of it for good. — Landlord, Florida
They dealt with our adjuster directly so we didn't have to play messenger between two companies. Reconstruction took about five weeks and the trim work came out better than the original. — Homeowner, Florida, NY
After a kitchen fire at our bakery, they phased the work so the front counter reopened in about ten days while the kitchen was still under repair. — Business Owner, Florida
What stood out most was that the invoice matched the original written scope down to the dollar, with nothing added along the way. — Homeowner, Florida, NY
We never had an actual fire, just smoke migration from a neighboring unit, but the crew still fully treated our space and eliminated the odor. — Tenant, Florida

Yes — you'll see a written, itemized scope before any demolition or cleanup begins.
Emergency stabilization services run 24/7, including holidays.
Yes, we send photo documentation and moisture readings directly to most major Florida, NY carriers.
It depends on severity — surface-level odor treats fast, deeper HVAC contamination takes longer.
Many non-porous items can be cleaned and restored; we evaluate contents individually rather than writing everything off.
We're bonded and licensed to perform this work in Florida and across Florida, NY.
Not always — a contained fire may only mean staying out of the affected rooms.
Ideally within a few hours; both soot damage and water damage compound quickly.
Mitigation stops the bleeding; reconstruction is the rebuild that follows once the scope is finalized.
Yes, we take on everything from a single scorched cabinet to a full Florida teardown-and-rebuild.
Absolutely — a neighboring fire can still leave your unit needing odor and soot treatment.
We back reconstruction work with a one-year workmanship guarantee, in writing, on every Florida job.
Coverage runs past Florida proper into the neighboring communities within our normal response radius.
