Who We Are

A Licensed Cotter 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 Cotter technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.

Local experience in 72635 72626 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Cotter's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.

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

Licensed & Insured

State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.

Live Dispatch

A real technician answers the Cotter line, any hour.

III

IICRC Trained

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

Adjuster-Ready Files

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

We also keep a running photo log for every Cotter job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Cotter Fire

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

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

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Cotter, AR 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

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

Emergency Mitigation

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

Residential Soot & Smoke Cleanup

We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.

Commercial Restoration

We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.

Structural Rebuild

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

Odor Elimination

Persistent odor after a Cotter fire usually needs equipment-based treatment, which is what this service actually is.

Contents & Pack-Out

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

Our Guarantee

The Standard We Hold Every Fire Damage Removal Job To

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

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 Cotter job from the first call to the final walkthrough.

We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Cotter fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
