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

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Summersville, WV insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Summersville inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
