Who We Are

Why Ketchikan Property Owners Keep Our Number Saved

We opened in the Ketchikan 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.

Local experience in 99901 99950 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Ketchikan's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.

We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Ketchikan scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Licensed & Insured

Full coverage on every job we run in Ketchikan, AK.

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

IICRC Trained

Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.

Adjuster-Ready Files

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

Every Ketchikan 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 Ketchikan 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

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

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

Ketchikan, AK 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.

Core Services

What Ketchikan Customers Actually Get With Fire Damage Removal

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

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

Commercial Restoration

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

Structural Rebuild

Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Ketchikan permitting.

Odor Elimination

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

Our Guarantee

What Meridian Smoke Damage Promises Every Ketchikan Customer

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.

No Surprise Line Items

Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.

One-Year Workmanship

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.

Single Point Of Contact

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 Ketchikan inspection right rather than rushing to a number.

Our garage caught fire from an old freezer around 2am, and someone from Meridian Smoke Damage was already boarding up the side door before the fire department finished their report. — Homeowner, Ketchikan
