Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Swannanoa technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Because our crews work 28778 regularly, they already understand which Swannanoa permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
