We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Dunlap properties that got burned twice — once by the fire, once by a slow restoration company. Our crews are staged locally specifically to close that gap.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Dunlap roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 45252 45251 regularly, they already understand which Dunlap permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
Homeowners, landlords, and Dunlap, OH adjusters trust our paperwork because it's consistent: photo logs, moisture readings, and a written scope on every single Dunlap job.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Fire and smoke restoration credentials, not general labor.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Dunlap job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Dunlap, OH insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Dunlap properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Dunlap jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Dunlap inspectors.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Dunlap property is under repair.
A real person answers and gets the crew moving right away.
Full scope gets assessed and photographed for your insurance file.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Final walkthrough happens before we call the Dunlap job complete.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Same-day arrival is realistic because we're already positioned near Dunlap.
We talk to your adjuster directly and send documentation they can act on.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

Every Dunlap job carries the same written guarantee regardless of size — if our work doesn't match the documented scope, fixing it is on us.
Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
One coordinator manages your Dunlap job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Dunlap fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
