We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Citronelle 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 +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Citronelle roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Local experience in 36522 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Citronelle's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Citronelle scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
Full coverage on every job we run in Citronelle, AL.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Citronelle job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

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.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Citronelle, AL 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.

HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Citronelle homes.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
One coordinator manages your Citronelle job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Citronelle fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
