BluSky Restoration Contractors LLC, a Denver-based national property restoration company, has acquired ARS Cleanup Restore Rebuild, based in Logan. The combined companies will operate as BluSky Restoration Contractors.
Founded in 1985, privately owned and operated ARS provides restoration services to commercial, residential, government and educational institutions in the Utah, Idaho and Wyoming markets. ARS owner Jud Eades plans to step away from day-to-day operations of the company. Drew Bisping, BluSky CEO, will continue as CEO of the merged firm.
BluSky is a full-service restoration{mprestriction ids="1,3"}, renovation, environmental and roofing provider for properties damaged by water, fire, storms and other disasters across the nation. The company operated 53 offices in 21 states. In addition to restoration services currently provided by ARS, BluSky plans to add its commercial roofing and healthcare restoration business lines to the Logan; Ogden; Salt Lake City; and Rock Springs, Wyoming, markets.
“ARS has a long-standing reputation of taking care of their clients and is culturally aligned with BluSky in many ways,” said Bisping. “We are excited to grow our BluSky family and further expand in the Utah and surrounding markets.”
“BluSky had the most similar employee culture and plans in place that would take the best care of our team with immediate opportunities for them to grow personally and financially,” said Eades. “ARS clients are some of my closest friends. It was important for me to partner with a company that could not only take care of our clients locally like we have for decades, but also expand to take care of them nationally. It was very clear to me and an easy decision to partner with BluSky.”
BluSky was founded in 2004 and this acquisition is the 12th in a strategic plan of mergers and acquisitions in the past six years to support BluSky growth.{/mprestriction}
