Resoration Company Celebrates 35 Years

(Wood Dale, IL, March 8, 2010) – Disaster Kleenup International, Inc. North America's largest disaster restoration contracting organization, today announced that DKI member company, Missouri Contracting & Cleaning, is celebrating its 35th anniversary of serving the restoration needs for the Kansas City metro area and surrounding communities.

When the current owners, Bruce and Amy Storts, first started providing restoration services to the Kansas City area, they had a staff of four co-owners, two trucks, and were hand-writing estimates on yellow notepads.  Missouri Contracting has evolved from a four-person staff conducting business in a one-room office, to employing 20 people housed in a 17,000 square foot facility designed for greatest efficiency specific to the restoration business. Missouri Contracting and its sister company, AAS Cleaning Systems, also owned by the Storts couple, work closely together to rebuild and repair property damage, as well as clean damaged contents.

“Since we began our restoration and cleaning business, we have seen some really significant changes,” states Bruce Storts, President and CEO. “Technology has made the most considerable impact on how we do business.” Storts continued, “Another important change over the years is the amount of training, certification, and educational support available in the industry.”  

Missouri Contracting employees are trained and certified in restoring smoke, soot, water, mold, and even sewage contaminated property. “We can boast about having the best-trained and certified staff in the Kansas City Metro area, as well as the most up-to-date cleaning equipment and solutions available in the industry,” claims Storts. “We have Certified Remodelers and Certified Lead Carpenters, as well as IICRC-trained technicians.”

When people experience a catastrophic loss to their home or business, it is very devastating to them emotionally and financially. Missouri Contracting employees know that it’s their job to make the rebuilding process as stress-free as possible. The business is built around providing a complete line of reconstruction and cleaning services, quality work, and peace of mind for those in need, while working within insurance policy parameters.
