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 Clawson technicians show up, do the assessment, and stay on the job through reconstruction.
Local experience in 48017 means our estimators aren't guessing — they've seen how Clawson's building department handles fire-damage permits dozens of times before.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we put every Clawson scope of work in writing before demolition starts — including what's included, what's excluded, and the expected timeline.

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
Every Clawson job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

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.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Clawson, MI 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 Clawson 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.
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.
A dedicated project manager keeps commercial Clawson jobs on a schedule instead of an open-ended timeline.

Paperwork built to match what Clawson, MI carriers actually ask for.
Our guarantee is signed, not just implied in a sales conversation.

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.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Clawson inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
