Fire, soot, and the water used to put it out don't pause for morning. Meridian Smoke Damage keeps trucks positioned near Sunset so a technician can be walking your property within the hour, not scheduling you in for next week.
Call +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Sunset 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.
Local experience in 70584 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Sunset's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Sunset 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.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
Documentation built to match what Sunset, LA carriers expect.
Every Sunset 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.
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.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Sunset, LA 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.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Sunset loss from spreading further.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Sunset homes.
Phased scopes that let Sunset businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Sunset inspectors.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.

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.

We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Sunset fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
