Word of mouth is still the main way Meridian Smoke Damage grows in College Park, which tends to happen when a company gets fire restoration right the first time instead of needing a redo.
Meridian Smoke Damage started because a College Park 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 College Park household.
Local familiarity with 20740 20742 20741 means we're not guessing at College Park code requirements — we've filed the paperwork here dozens of times before.
