Who We Are

Why Chico Property Owners Keep Our Number Saved

Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Chico technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.

Local experience in 76431 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Chico's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.

Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Chico, TX, and our Chico jobs always start with a signed, itemized scope rather than a verbal ballpark.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Chico Fire

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

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Chico, TX 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.

Our Guarantee

Our Written Guarantee, Not Just A Sales Line

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

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 Chico inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
