Fire, soot, and the water used to put it out don't pause for morning. Meridian Smoke Damage keeps trucks positioned near Saraland 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 Saraland 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.
Working the 36571 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Saraland code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

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

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.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Saraland inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
