We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Dallastown 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 Dallastown roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 17313 regularly, they already understand which Dallastown permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Dallastown scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
