Company History

Giertsen has operated since 1918 and remains family owned. Over nearly a century the company grew from small local cleanup crews into a multi-service restoration firm. That history includes work through severe Illinois weather: heavy spring rains, harsh winters that freeze pipes, and summer storms that damage roofs and basements. The firm has been BBB accredited with an A+ rating since 1979, reflecting steady service and accountability.

Leadership

Leadership keeps the family-run approach while employing licensed specialists across trades. Managers coordinate with insurance, local building officials, and property owners to move projects from emergency response through final repairs. Staff also participate in local trade groups and training programs to stay current on restoration techniques.
