Who We Are

A Licensed Alma Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

Every technician on our Alma roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Because our crews work 72921 regularly, they already understand which Alma 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 Alma scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Licensed & Insured

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

IICRC Trained

Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.

Adjuster-Ready Files

Documentation built to match what Alma, AR carriers expect.

We also keep a running photo log for every Alma job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs Alma Homeowners Tend To Ignore

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

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

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Alma, AR fire claims get partially denied.

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.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Alma

Emergency Mitigation

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Alma loss from spreading further.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.

Commercial Restoration

A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Alma jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Alma permitting.

Odor Elimination

We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

Contents & Pack-Out

Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.

Our Guarantee

What Meridian Smoke Damage Promises Every Alma Customer

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.

No Surprise Line Items

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.

Single Point Of Contact

One coordinator manages your Alma job from the first call to the final walkthrough.

A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Alma inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
