We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Onsted 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 Onsted roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 49265 regularly, they already understand which Onsted permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Onsted scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
We also keep a running photo log for every Onsted 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.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Onsted, MI fire claims get partially denied.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
Same-day securing of the structure — board-up, tarping, water removal — before the damage compounds.
Thermal fogging paired with HEPA filtration clears residue that surface cleaning alone would leave behind.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
We rebuild to Onsted, MI code, with inspections scheduled as part of the project timeline, not an afterthought.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
We photograph and log every item before pack-out, then clean or store it depending on what's actually salvageable.
