About Us
Panhandle Cleaning & Restoration has been in the disaster recovery business since 1977, founded by Robert C. Contraguerro, Sr. on a commitment to fairness, honesty, and quality work. That reputation has carried the company across six states, including here in Charleston, SC, where property owners can call on Panhandle for water, fire, storm, mold, and biohazard restoration whenever disaster strikes.
Our technicians are IICRC-certified and continue their training through ongoing seminars and workshops, so they're prepared to handle anything from a burst pipe to major fire and smoke damage. We carry an inventory of more than 3,000 pieces of advanced equipment, including infrared moisture detection cameras and large-loss dehumidifiers, to assess and address damage thoroughly from the first visit.
As a full-service contractor, Panhandle manages every stage of recovery, from the initial free inspection through cleanup, mitigation, and reconstruction. We have extensive experience working with major insurance providers and provide detailed, itemized documentation to help keep your out-of-pocket costs down and your claim moving.
We're also proud members of DKI, CORE Elite, and Restoration Affiliates, networks that connect us with the resources and shared standards needed to respond to property damage of any size, any time of day or night.
