Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Gorman technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Local experience in 76454 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Gorman's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Gorman 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 Gorman line, any hour.
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 Gorman job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
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.
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.
Gorman, TX 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.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Gorman homes.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Gorman fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
