Most of our Catonsville business comes from referrals, not advertising — the kind of trust that only builds after a company handles someone's worst week correctly.
Meridian Smoke Damage started because a Catonsville family got a two-week wait time from a "24-hour" restoration company after a kitchen fire. We built our dispatch model specifically so that never happens to another Catonsville household.
