We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Cohoe 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 Cohoe 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 99610 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Cohoe code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Cohoe scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
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 Cohoe, AK carriers expect.
Every Cohoe job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
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.
Cohoe, AK 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.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Cohoe jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Cohoe inspectors.
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.
Full scope gets assessed and photographed for your insurance file.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Nothing gets closed out until you've confirmed the work in person.

Trucks staged near 99610 mean faster arrival than a crew driving in from another city.
Paperwork built to match what Cohoe, AK carriers actually ask for.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

Every Cohoe 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 Cohoe 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 Cohoe 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, Cohoe
