The History Of Purofirst Disaster Services

Rob Hunter and his wife Carol Ann started the Purofirst Franchise with his mother, Barbara Hunter, almost 30 years ago. At the time, he owned a construction company that specialized in building homes and post offices.

The Hunters started in their garage with one or two jobs a month. Over time, Purofirst kept getting bigger and the construction company kept getting smaller.

After five years, Rob built a 10,000 square foot facility he thought they would never outgrow. But eight years later, they outgrew it and built their current 27,000 square foot facility on a nearby two acres. Progressively, he has been blessed to grow into a dominant player in the restoration market, becoming one of the biggest restoration companies in the state of Kentucky.

Purofirst has built a reputation of honesty, integrity, and taking pride in what they do. These key principles are what attracts customers to Purofirst.
