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 Fords technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Working the 08863 corridor day after day gives our team a working knowledge of Fords code requirements that out-of-town crews simply don't have.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Fords scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Fords, NJ insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
