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

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
