To Customers and Future Customers,
We want to keep you updated during these concerning times. As a small business, we appreciate your continued support. As COVID-19 continues to impact the communities where we do business, we would like to let you know what to expect when working with our team. To eliminate worry and confusion regarding the status of our team we decided to develop a blog.
In the restoration industry, we have extensive experience supporting individuals and organizations when their lives have been disrupted by disastrous events such as fires and floods. Therefore, returning and new clients are contacting our restoration professionals to assist them in appropriately responding to the coronavirus pandemic referred to as COVID-19.
