Who We Are

A Licensed Colfax Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

Every technician on our Colfax roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Because our crews work 71417 regularly, they already understand which Colfax permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Colfax scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Licensed & Insured

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Colfax line, any hour.

III

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

Adjuster-Ready Files

Documentation built to match what Colfax, LA carriers expect.

We also keep a running photo log for every Colfax job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Colfax 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

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Colfax, LA fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Colfax properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.

Core Services

What Colfax Customers Actually Get With Fire Damage Removal

Emergency Mitigation

First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.

Commercial Restoration

Phased scopes that let Colfax businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.

Structural Rebuild

Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Colfax inspectors.

Odor Elimination

Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

Contents & Pack-Out

Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Colfax property is under repair.

Our Guarantee

What Meridian Smoke Damage Promises Every Colfax Customer

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

One coordinator manages your Colfax job from the first call to the final walkthrough.

We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Colfax fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
