We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Refugio 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 Refugio roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Working the 78377 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Refugio code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Refugio 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.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
Documentation built to match what Refugio, TX carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Refugio 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.
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.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Refugio, TX insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Refugio properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Refugio loss from spreading further.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Refugio homes.
Phased scopes that let Refugio businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Refugio 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 Refugio property is under repair.
+1-866-484-1409 connects you to a live dispatcher, not a script.
Structural safety, moisture, and soot readings get documented before any work starts.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Nothing gets closed out until you've confirmed the work in person.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Same-day arrival is realistic because we're already positioned near Refugio.
Paperwork built to match what Refugio, TX carriers actually ask for.
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.
Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
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 Refugio 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, Refugio
