Our Story
Building Communities. Restoring Hope. Delivering Results.
Catastrophe Assessment & Restoration Experts (CARE) was founded on a simple belief: communities deserve experienced professionals who can help them recover, rebuild, and emerge stronger after disaster strikes.
As a veteran-owned company, CARE combines construction expertise, disaster recovery experience, and deep knowledge of HUD-funded Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) programs to support Federal, State, and Local Government agencies, prime contractors, and recovery stakeholders throughout every phase of the rebuilding process.
Our team brings experience in damage assessments, Xactimate estimating, housing rehabilitation, reconstruction oversight, progress inspections, final inspections, compliance support, and disaster recovery program operations. We understand that successful recovery requires more than repairing structures—it requires restoring stability, accountability, and confidence within affected communities.
Over the years, CARE personnel have supported disaster recovery and housing programs across multiple states, helping homeowners, businesses, contractors, and government agencies navigate the complex path from damage assessment to final project completion.
Today, CARE continues to support community recovery through construction services, restoration projects, disaster recovery operations, and CDBG-DR program support. Our commitment remains unchanged: delivering accurate solutions, maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, and helping communities rebuild stronger than before.
At CARE, our name reflects more than who we are—it reflects how we serve. We bring Commitment, Accountability, Reliability, and Excellence to every project, every partner, and every community we support.
