We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Lely 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 Lely 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 34113 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Lely code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Lely, FL, and our Lely 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.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
Documentation built to match what Lely, FL carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Lely 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.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Lely, FL insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Lely 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.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Lely jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Lely permitting.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Lely property is under repair.
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 Lely job complete.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Same-day arrival is realistic because we're already positioned near Lely.
Paperwork built to match what Lely, FL carriers actually ask for.
Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

Every Lely job carries the same written guarantee regardless of size — if our work doesn't match the documented scope, fixing it is on us.
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.
One coordinator manages your Lely job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Lely inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
