We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Kensington 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 Kensington roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Working the 11021 11023 11026 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Kensington code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Kensington scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

A real technician answers the Kensington line, any hour.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
Documentation built to match what Kensington, NY carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Kensington 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.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
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.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Kensington, NY 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.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
We rebuild to Kensington, NY code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.
Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging break down odor at the source instead of masking it with fragrance.
