We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Montebello 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 Montebello 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.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
