Call +1-866-484-1409Meridian Smoke Damage isn't a franchise call center that farms your job out to a subcontractor you've never met. Our Lodi technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.

Phased scopes that let Lodi businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Lodi inspectors.

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
