We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Citrus 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 +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Citrus technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Working the 91722 91702 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Citrus code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Citrus scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
A real technician answers the Citrus line, any hour.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Citrus 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.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Citrus, CA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Citrus properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Citrus loss from spreading further.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Citrus permitting.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.
Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Citrus property is under repair.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Full scope gets assessed and photographed for your insurance file.
Work follows the plan you signed off on, with daily photo updates.

If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.
The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Citrus inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
