We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Tallmadge 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 +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Tallmadge 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.
Working the 44278 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Tallmadge code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

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

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

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
