Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Charter Oak technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Because our crews work 91724 regularly, they already understand which Charter Oak permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

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.
Charter Oak, CA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
