Who We Are

A Licensed Opelousas Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Opelousas technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.

Working the 70570 70571 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Opelousas code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Opelousas 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.

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Opelousas line, any hour.

III

Every Opelousas job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

Don't Wait On These

Warning Signs Opelousas Homeowners Tend To Ignore

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Opelousas, LA fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Opelousas 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.

Core Services

Everything Fire Damage Removal Should Include, Handled In-House For Opelousas

Emergency Mitigation

Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Opelousas loss from spreading further.

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.

Commercial Restoration

Phased scopes that let Opelousas businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.

Structural Rebuild

Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Opelousas inspectors.

Odor Elimination

Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.

Contents & Pack-Out

Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.

One-Year Workmanship

Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.

Single Point Of Contact

One coordinator manages your Opelousas 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 Opelousas inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
