Full-Scope Fire Recovery
Fire & Smoke Damage Services in Meridian
A fire leaves behind more than charred framing. Smoke infiltrates walls and ductwork, soot stains every surface it touches, and fire suppression water creates its own category of damage. Our Meridian-based crews handle every phase of recovery.
Structural Fire Damage
Fire compromises framing, load-bearing walls, and roofing systems. Our Meridian crews assess structural integrity, remove unsafe materials, and rebuild from the studs out — no subcontractors needed.
Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke travels far beyond the fire itself, penetrating walls, ceilings, and HVAC systems throughout your Meridian property. We trace every path smoke traveled and clean it at the source.
Soot Damage Cleanup
Soot is acidic and corrosive — the longer it sits, the more permanent the staining and etching becomes. Our team uses specialized techniques to remove soot from surfaces before it causes irreversible damage.
Smoke Odor Treatment
Smoke odor embeds deep in porous materials — drywall, insulation, carpet, and wood framing. We use professional deodorization methods including thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators to eliminate odor at the molecular level.
Fire Suppression Water Damage
Putting out the fire often creates a second disaster. Hundreds of gallons of water saturate your structure, and mold can begin within 24–48 hours. We extract water, dry the structure, and prevent secondary damage.
HVAC & Duct Cleaning
Smoke and soot circulate through your HVAC system, contaminating ductwork and spreading odor to every room. We clean and decontaminate the full system to prevent ongoing air quality issues in your Meridian property.
Content Restoration
Personal belongings, furniture, and documents affected by fire, smoke, and water can often be salvaged with professional cleaning and restoration — saving you thousands in replacement costs.
Full Reconstruction
From framing and drywall to flooring, cabinetry, plumbing, and paint — our in-house construction crews rebuild fire-damaged Meridian properties to pre-loss condition or better. One company, start to finish.
How We Restore Your Property
From Emergency Response to Full Reconstruction
Most fire restoration companies handle the cleanup but subcontract the rebuild. We keep everything in-house — one team, one timeline, one invoice. Here is how fire damage restoration works with our Meridian crew.
You Call
Call us as soon as the fire department clears your Meridian property. A real person answers — no phone tree, no voicemail. We gather the details and begin coordinating your restoration immediately.
We Respond
Our crew arrives from our Meridian headquarters on South Industry Way. We board up and secure the property against weather and unauthorized access to prevent further damage while we plan the full restoration.
Assess & Secure
We conduct a thorough damage assessment — structural stability, smoke and soot penetration, water damage from fire suppression, and plumbing system integrity. Every finding is documented for your insurance claim.
Clean & Mitigate
Our team removes soot, cleans smoke damage from all surfaces, extracts fire suppression water, and begins structural drying. We address the contamination before it causes permanent secondary damage.
Restore & Build
Our in-house construction crews rebuild your property — framing, drywall, flooring, plumbing, cabinetry, paint, and finishes. Same company, same timeline, no waiting for another contractor.
Done
One invoice, one point of contact from start to finish. We provide all documentation for your insurance claim and do a final walkthrough to make sure your Meridian property is restored to pre-loss condition or better.
The Xpress Difference
Most Restoration Companies Subcontract the Rebuild.
That means weeks of delays between cleanup and construction, multiple contractors to coordinate, and invoices from companies that have never communicated with each other. Xpress handles the entire fire restoration under one roof, right here in Meridian.

- Board-up crew arrives days later
- Cleanup company handles soot and smoke removal
- Separate water mitigation company for fire suppression damage

- 3-4 separate invoices, 3-4 different timelines
The Xpress Experience

Why Meridian Chooses Xpress for Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Cleanup Through Rebuild — One Company
We do not subcontract the construction. Our own Meridian-based crews handle everything from soot removal and smoke cleaning through framing, drywall, flooring, plumbing, and the final coat of paint.
Plumbing Repair Included
Fire often damages plumbing lines, water heaters, and fixtures. Because we are a plumbing company first, we repair and replace damaged plumbing systems as part of the restoration — no separate contractor needed.
Insurance Documentation Experts
We create detailed damage documentation with photos, measurements, and comprehensive scope reports. We work directly with your insurance adjuster throughout the entire claim process.
Meridian-Based Crews
We are headquartered on South Industry Way in Meridian. Our crews are local, which means faster response and faster project timelines for fire restoration across the entire Treasure Valley.
No Subcontractors
When we send a crew to your fire-damaged property, they are our employees — trained, experienced, and accountable. No outsourced labor, no communication gaps between companies.
Built by a Property Manager
Corey Recla spent 25+ years in the management industry overseeing 200+ condominium associations and HOAs. He knows what it takes to coordinate a fire restoration across multiple trades — and he built Xpress so property owners never have to juggle contractors again.

Fire Damage Assessment
Before any restoration begins, our team conducts a thorough assessment of your Meridian property to understand the full scope of damage and create a clear plan for recovery.
Our assessment covers:
This assessment becomes the foundation for your insurance claim. We provide thorough documentation with photos, measurements, and detailed scope reports that we share directly with your adjuster.
Smoke and Soot Cleaning
Soot is acidic and corrosive. Every hour it remains on surfaces increases the likelihood of permanent staining, etching on glass and metal, and embedded odor in porous materials. Our Meridian crews move quickly to prevent secondary damage.
Our cleaning process includes:
Different types of fires produce different types of soot — protein fires, synthetic material fires, and wood fires each require specific cleaning approaches. Our technicians are trained to identify the type and apply the right method.
Structural Repair and Rebuild
Once cleanup is complete, our in-house construction crews rebuild your Meridian property from the studs out. No subcontractors, no handoffs, no delays waiting for another company to start.
Our reconstruction scope includes:
Because we handle both the cleanup and the rebuild, there is no gap between phases. Your project stays on one timeline with one point of contact — from the day we begin through the final walkthrough.
