Ohio-based Restoration Company Serving the Columbus-area Quickly and Efficiently<\/h2>\n

As a family-owned business located in Columbus, Ohio, our operations began in 2007<\/strong>. Our restoration company is based near the center of Columbus. Furthermore, we understand that emergency situations are stressful. So, we take pride in urgently addressing damage to get properties back to pre-loss conditions<\/strong> and stress levels reduced as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Owner Rick Gutridge<\/strong> grew up in a small town outside of Columbus and has always been a Buckeye. He went to Ohio State, then worked in the IT industry. After living elsewhere for a short while, he just knew he belonged back in Columbus.<\/p>\n

Proudly serving the community he loves, Rick and his PuroClean Fire & Water Experts are members of several local associations. These include the Arlington Chapter of the AmSpirit<\/a>, the Central Ohio Chapter of the Community Associations Institute<\/a> (CAI,) and the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio<\/a> (BIA). We are A+ members of the BBB and The Honorable Order of the Blue Goose Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Restoration Company that Cares<\/h2>\n

Annually, our team works to help raise donations for the Byron Saunders Foundation<\/a>, a local charity that provides Thanksgiving meals. We are a proud sponsor of a team for Pelotonia each year. The Park of Roses summer concert series, several Catholic Churches, and the Red Cross are all supported throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Of course, Rick and the team love living and working in Columbus and Central Ohio<\/strong>. The people are sociable and the demographic is wide. We enjoy meeting transplants from other areas of the U.S. and other countries. Since Columbus and Central Ohio make up the highest growth areas of the state, this is an attractive area to work and live.<\/p>\n

Therefore, our area is home to great companies<\/strong> from the healthcare, IT, and retail sectors, a great transportation hub, and many universities. It has the hottest real estate market in the state due to the job opportunities and a revitalized downtown. We experience all weather, but winters are mostly mild.<\/p>\n

We are an IICRC<\/a> Clean Trust Certified restoration company with certifications in WRT, ASD, Fire, AMRT (Mold), and Lead. Our team responds to water, fire, and mold damage in Franklin County and the surrounding suburbs. Call us today at (614) 309-5739<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n
