Meridian Services.

The state insures Meridian Services under a single field class, floor and counter covering installation, alongside a clerical office class. That's a finish trade, not framing or structural work. The crew falls in the seven-to-ten worker band, large enough to run more than one job at a time without being a big operation. Washington lists Zachary Swentkofske as a principal since 2024. Work tends to come in through referrals and repeat customers rather than advertising, and the business travels roughly 25 miles from its base, which covers Spokane, Liberty Lake, Mead, Cheney and Airway Heights. This suits a residential remodel where the floor and counters are the main event, or the last step after other trades have finished. Someone building an addition from the framing up, or running a large commercial project, will want a general builder or a commercial outfit and can bring a finish installer in for the surfaces. Most flooring and countertop swaps in Spokane, Spokane Valley and the county don't need a building permit on their own. That changes when the job reaches past the surface: moving a sink or cooktop, adding an outlet in a new island, or replacing damaged subfloor or joists. Plumbing, electrical and structural changes are inspected, and in a kitchen or bath remodel they often come along with the new counters. Ask early whether the scope touches any of those. If it does, expect the contractor doing that work to pull the permit, so the inspection record stays with the house and isn't left for the homeowner to sort out.
