Case Study: Rapid Response Storage Keeps a Local Restaurant on Track After Storm Damage

Client Overview:

A beloved restaurant in Fairfield County, CT —well-known in the community as a go-to for great food and warm hospitality—suffered an unexpected blow when a large tree fell on the building during a storm.
