Fire, soot, and the water used to put it out don't pause for morning. Meridian Smoke Damage keeps trucks positioned near Chimayo so a technician can be walking your property within the hour, not scheduling you in for next week.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Chimayo roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Local experience in 87522 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Chimayo's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Chimayo, NM, and our Chimayo jobs always start with a signed, itemized scope rather than a verbal ballpark.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
A real technician answers the Chimayo line, any hour.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
Documentation built to match what Chimayo, NM carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Chimayo 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.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
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.
Chimayo, NM 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.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Chimayo loss from spreading further.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Chimayo jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.
We rebuild to Chimayo, NM code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.

We talk to your adjuster directly and send documentation they can act on.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

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 Chimayo 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 Chimayo inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
