Three Generations of Phoenix Restoration — The Kowalski Family
59+ years. Three generations. One Phoenix-owned, family-operated restoration company committed to doing right by every customer, every job — since 1967.

From a Phoenix Home Office in 1967 to Arizona's Largest Family-Owned Restoration Firm
Kowalski Construction started in 1967 from a Phoenix home office. Three generations of the Kowalski family have grown the company into one of Arizona's oldest and largest restoration and repair contracting firms — without ever leaving Phoenix or losing the family-business culture that started it all.
Today, Kowalski responds 24/7/365 across all of Northern and Southern Arizona — including Phoenix metro and Tucson. Same family. Same values. Same phone gets answered by a real person, day or night.
