We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Opp 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 +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Opp 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 36467 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Opp code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Opp, AL, and our Opp 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.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
Documentation built to match what Opp, AL carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Opp 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.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
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.
Opp, 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.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Opp homes.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
We rebuild to Opp, AL code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.
We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Structural safety, moisture, and soot readings get documented before any work starts.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Final walkthrough happens before we call the Opp job complete.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Same-day arrival is realistic because we're already positioned near Opp.
We talk to your adjuster directly and send documentation they can act on.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

We'd rather put the guarantee on paper up front than have a disagreement about it once the job is finished.
Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
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 Opp inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
A freezer fire in our garage started around 2am, and the crew had the side door boarded up before the fire department even wrapped up their report. — Homeowner, Opp
