Most of our Hopkins 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 Hopkins 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 Hopkins household.
Because we've worked 55343 55305 for years, our estimators already know how Hopkins's permitting office handles fire-damage rebuilds, and roughly how long each inspection stage takes.
We're licensed and bonded to work throughout Hopkins, MN, and Hopkins customers get an itemized estimate in writing before we touch anything.
Continuity matters on a fire job. Losing days to a new crew learning the file from scratch is exactly what we built our Hopkins operation to avoid.
