We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Lorain 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 Lorain roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
