We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the New Roads 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 New Roads 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 70760 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of New Roads code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every New Roads 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.
A real technician answers the New Roads line, any hour.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
Documentation built to match what New Roads, LA carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every New Roads 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.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
New Roads, LA 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.
Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with New Roads permitting.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.
Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Full scope gets assessed and photographed for your insurance file.
Work follows the plan you signed off on, with daily photo updates.
Final walkthrough happens before we call the New Roads job complete.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Trucks staged near 70760 mean faster arrival than a crew driving in from another city.
We talk to your adjuster directly and send documentation they can act on.
Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

We'd rather put the guarantee on paper up front than have a disagreement about it once the job is finished.
The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
One coordinator manages your New Roads 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 New Roads fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
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, New Roads
The smoke smell in our New Roads rental had survived two other cleaning attempts before we called Meridian Smoke Damage. Their fogging treatment finally got rid of it for good. — Landlord, New Roads
They dealt with our adjuster directly so we didn't have to play messenger between two companies. Reconstruction took about five weeks and the trim work came out better than the original. — Homeowner, New Roads, LA
After a kitchen fire at our bakery, they phased the work so the front counter reopened in about ten days while the kitchen was still under repair. — Business Owner, New Roads
What stood out most was that the invoice matched the original written scope down to the dollar, with nothing added along the way. — Homeowner, New Roads, LA
We never had an actual fire, just smoke migration from a neighboring unit, but the crew still fully treated our space and eliminated the odor. — Tenant, New Roads
