Chris, originally from Ohio, and Shelley, originally from Florida, are the owners of First Restoration Services. Still very active in everyday operations, they have both built a company together that continues to strive year in and year out. First Restoration Services started as only an emergency services company and now FRS is a licensed general contractor completing rebuilds after fires and home remodeling. FRS also specializes in cleaning for the insurance industry by cleaning your contents, and home or business and are now involved in the home cleaning business.
