We are proud to be a second generation family business serving the community for over 27 years!
Jerry Thomas started Specialized Cleaning & Restoration Inc in 1992 in a small shop. He started with one van, a few air movers and dehumidifiers. Since then Jerry has become known throughout the area as an industry expert who is passionate about his work. After several moves to bigger and bigger facilities, he finally built his dream facility in 2001 with a final expansion in 2010.
In 2001 Seth Sandness (son-in-law) started working at Specialized as a technician. Seth is now the President and overseas all projects. Jerry’s two daughters, Amber and Stacey, started working for the company in 2003 and 2005. They have worked in all areas of the company from technician to office management. Today Stacey is Vice President and overseas client relations. We occupy a 16,000 sf fully secured and temperature controlled facility with an indoor operation for rug cleaning, blind cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning plus heated storage for contents. We are also proud to have on-location the largest amount of drying equipment in the state! We invite and encourage people to visit our facility – the coffee is always on so please take a moment to stop by.

Did you know that the cleaning and restoration industry is not regulated? That means anyone can open a business and come into your home or office without any training. Training and certifications take time and are an investment we believe in. Visit the IICRC website and verify our training! We are proud of the commitment to education our team puts forth.
