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 University Gardens technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Because our crews work 11021 11020 regularly, they already understand which University Gardens permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

Every University Gardens job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
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.
University Gardens, NY insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
