Meet our EMS crew!

It has been an extremely busy couple of weeks here at Restoration Professionals.  The frigid temperatures followed by intermittent warm-ups has wreaked havoc on pipes, sprinkler systems, boilers and radiators.  Our crews have been out 24/7 cleaning up water damage caused by burst pipes and water supply lines.

We have been featured in several newspaper and TV news stories about the consequences of this crazy winter weather - Check out our Facebook page for links to some of these stories -https://www.facebook.com/RestorationProfessionals.

We would never be able to provide the awesome customer service and 24/7 attention without the hard work and dedication of our EMS (emergency service) technicians.

Here are profiles of some of these dedicated employees:

 

Scott has been with RestPro since 2003 and is IICRC-certified in Carpet Cleaning, Commercial Carpet Maintenance, Water Damage Restoration, Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration and Odor Control.  In his free time, he enjoys woodworking and detailing automobiles.

Tony has been in the restoration industry for 3 years and is an IICRC-certified Water Damage Restoration Technician.  When he's not working, he enjoys being a dad, playing video games and doing outdoor activities.  He also likes paintball, skydiving and playing pool.

Nick has been part of the RestPro team since 2011.  He is an IICRC-certified Water Damage Restoration Technician.  Nick is also a volunteer at the Ronald McDonald house and likes four-wheeling, hiking and taking road trips with his fiance.

These are just of few of the hard-working team members that keep the Restoration department rolling along. We will be  presenting more of the EMS technicians and our other departments as well so keep checking back.  And in the meantime, try and stay warm and dry!

Who are You?

Recently I was looking for a specialty contractor to do some work in my home and I turned to the internet and Google to find someone to do the job.  One thing I noticed in browsing the websites of the companies that came up in the search results was the lack information. By lack of information, I mean who owned these businesses or where they were located. If I am going to call someone and let them into my home, even just to come and give me a bid, I want to know who they are and/or who they work for.

This got me to thinking about the Restoration Professionals website.  The first picture that you see when you go to restpro.com is of our owners, Tim Labey and Ed Strom.  They are two St Paul, MN natives who are involved with the daily management and operations of our company.  You will find them on job sites, visiting customers or in the office, dealing with our customers and employees on a personal level.

When not working, you will find them spending time with their families.  Ed has three kids and Tim has three grown daughters and four grandsons.  Ed likes to hunt and Tim plays handball in his spare time.  

I started browsing some of our competitors websites, including both water and fire damage restoration and carpet cleaning companies.  Very few of them tell you who they are.  Of course most of them have the typical "we are the best restoration company in town because..."  on their About Us page but other than that, they give little information about who they are.

We are Restoration Professionals, a locally owned and operated company!
