Hear From Our Clients
Our clients represent various industries, including healthcare facilities, multifamily residential management, corporate business parks, and more. They all trust our expert team to keep their businesses safe and operational.
When a tree branch adjacent to our Community Archive and Research Center broke off during a violent storm and punctured the roof of the building in ten places, we were at a loss as to how to begin the repair and clean-up process. One call to EDS and we were on our way to start picking up the pieces from the storm. The EDS team responded quickly and they arrived on-site from Charlotte to Michigan within 24 hours of the initial disaster. They worked expeditiously with expertise and care to save our valuable history.
Director, Historical Museum
After our fire and water damage, EDS’s arrival was swift, and they immediately put my mind at ease, explaining thoroughly how the restoration process would proceed. It simply amazed me how quickly the team deployed and how quickly they got to work. Your team worked tirelessly in the heat in our production facility daily to thoroughly restore every corner. Your entire team, to the supervisors and technicians, was all top-notch!
