We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Calabash 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 Calabash 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.
Because our crews work 28468 28467 regularly, they already understand which Calabash permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
Meridian Smoke Damage is bonded and insured to operate in Calabash, NC, and our Calabash 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.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Calabash 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.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Calabash, NC fire claims get partially denied.
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.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Calabash homes.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Calabash inspectors.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.
Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Calabash property is under repair.

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.
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 Calabash 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, Calabash
