We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Dunedin 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 +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Dunedin roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Local experience in 34698 34697 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Dunedin's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Dunedin scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

A real technician answers the Dunedin line, any hour.

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.
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.
Dunedin, FL 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 Dunedin loss from spreading further.

Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

Every Dunedin job carries the same written guarantee regardless of size — if our work doesn't match the documented scope, fixing it is on us.
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.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Dunedin inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
