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 East Rockaway technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Because our crews work 11518 regularly, they already understand which East Rockaway permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every East Rockaway 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.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
Every East Rockaway 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.

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.
East Rockaway, NY 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 East Rockaway 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.
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.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
