Ethics Count!

Ethics in today’s business world is hard to find. With some of the largest corporations failing across the nation, as well as worldwide, it’s not hard to see why. CEOs have been getting increasingly larger salaries and bonuses while the companies they were supposed to be running started crumbling right underneath them. We all heard about Merrill Lynch’s CEO John Thain who, as the company was barely afloat, paid more than one million dollars to refurnish his office.

Advanced Restoration isn’t close to being a multi-billion dollar business, but we do understand the power of ethics. We are not 100% perfect all the time, but we always promise to be honest and correct our mistakes. As Certified Restorers and members of RIA, Advanced Restoration is held to a high standard and ethical code which states:

• We will do our work right and at a fair and reasonable price.
