Word of mouth is still the main way Meridian Smoke Damage grows in Barnesville, 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 Barnesville 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 Barnesville household.
Working Barnesville regularly means our crews recognize the construction styles common to the area, which speeds up both the assessment and the repair.
