Fire, soot, and the water used to put it out don't pause for morning. Meridian Smoke Damage keeps trucks positioned near Lake Shore so a technician can be walking your property within the hour, not scheduling you in for next week.
Call +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Lake Shore area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
