Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Birch Bay technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Working the 98230 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Birch Bay code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
