We built Meridian Smoke Damage around the Newport 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 +1-866-484-1409We opened in the Newport area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.
Because our crews work 55055 regularly, they already understand which Newport 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 Newport 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.
A real technician answers the Newport line, any hour.
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 Newport job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Newport, MN insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
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.
HEPA vacuuming and dry-chemical sponging matched to the specific surfaces found in Newport homes.
We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Framing, drywall, and finish carpentry brought back to pre-loss condition and signed off by local Newport inspectors.
Persistent odor after a Newport fire usually needs equipment-based treatment, which is what this service actually is.
Inventoried pack-out with ultrasonic cleaning for salvageable belongings while the Newport property is under repair.
+1-866-484-1409 connects you to a live dispatcher, not a script.
Structural safety, moisture, and soot readings get documented before any work starts.
Work follows the plan you signed off on, with daily photo updates.
Final walkthrough happens before we call the Newport job complete.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Trucks staged near 55055 mean faster arrival than a crew driving in from another city.
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.

A verbal promise doesn't help you three weeks into a job, so our guarantee goes in writing before we start. If a section of the agreed scope isn't done to standard, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Change orders require your written sign-off — nothing gets added to the bill without it.
Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Newport fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
