Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Rome, NY, and our Rome jobs always start with a signed, itemized scope rather than a verbal ballpark.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
Every Rome 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.
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.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Rome, NY 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.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Rome loss from spreading further.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Rome fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
