Word of mouth is still the main way Meridian Smoke Damage grows in Waite 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 Waite 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 Waite Park household.
