When flames or smoke damage tear through a New Hope home or business, every hour matters. Our local response teams are built to move fast and work clean.
Every Meridian Smoke Damage technician working in New Hope carries IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification, and every job supervisor has run structural fire cleanups before — not just water losses with smoke damage tacked on. That distinction matters once you're standing in a soot-covered kitchen deciding what to trust.
Working the 55427 55428 area day in and day out means our estimators can usually tell you, within reason, what your specific fire damage scope will involve before the adjuster even calls back.
Insurance companies, property managers, and New Hope homeowners work with us because our paperwork holds up: signed scopes, photo documentation, and moisture/soot readings logged at every stage.
Bonded, insured, and licensed to work throughout New Hope, MN.
A live technician answers, day or night, holidays included.

We work your claim directly with most major carriers.
Odor that hangs around 24 hours after the fire trucks leave usually means soot has already worked into drywall, insulation, and HVAC ductwork.
Streaking around outlets, vents, or ceiling corners is a sign soot traveled through your HVAC system, not just the burn area.
Firefighting water combined with heat can warp flooring and cabinetry within a day if drying doesn't start immediately.
Untreated soot residue is acidic enough to corrode metal hardware and electronics in as little as two days.
Ongoing coughing or headaches inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still suspended in the air.

None of these warning signs improve with time. The New Hope properties that come out ahead are the ones where mitigation started within hours, not days, of the fire being extinguished.

We put our guarantee in writing because verbal promises don't hold up when you need them most. If any portion of the scope isn't completed to the standard we agreed on, we return and correct it at no additional charge to you.
The price we quote after inspection is the price on the final invoice, barring scope changes you approve in writing.
We stand behind framing, drywall, and finish work with a one-year workmanship guarantee.

This guarantee applies whether you're a New Hope homeowner filing your first insurance claim or a commercial property manager who's been through this before. The standard doesn't change based on the size of the job.
