We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Applewood 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 Applewood roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 80401 regularly, they already understand which Applewood permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Applewood 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 Applewood 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 Applewood 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.
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 Applewood, CO 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 Applewood homes.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Applewood jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Applewood inspectors.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Structural safety, moisture, and soot readings get documented before any work starts.

We talk to your adjuster directly and send documentation they can act on.
Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

Every Applewood job carries the same written guarantee regardless of size — if our work doesn't match the documented scope, fixing it is on us.
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.
One coordinator manages your Applewood 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 Applewood 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, Applewood
We'd tried two other cleaning companies on the smoke smell in our rental with no luck. Meridian Smoke Damage's fogging treatment actually solved it. — Landlord, Applewood
They dealt with our adjuster directly so we didn't have to play messenger between two companies. Reconstruction took about five weeks and the trim work came out better than the original. — Homeowner, Applewood, CO
After a kitchen fire at our bakery, they phased the work so the front counter reopened in about ten days while the kitchen was still under repair. — Business Owner, Applewood
What stood out most was that the invoice matched the original written scope down to the dollar, with nothing added along the way. — Homeowner, Applewood, CO
Smoke had drifted into our Applewood unit from a fire two doors down, and Meridian Smoke Damage still came out and treated the whole space even though we never had flames ourselves. — Tenant, Applewood
