Rooted in the Trades
Serving Payson and Rim Country homeowners with honest, certified water, mold, and fire restoration since 2002.
Built On Family & Craftsmanship
I'm Shane Ekwall, a hands-on general contractor and Payson resident committed to delivering honest, certified restoration services with a personal touch. Every job reflects the values I was raised with - quality, integrity, and hard work.
"Call us and we're on our way - 24/7 for water and mold emergencies in Payson."
Growing up in a family of contractors - father, uncles, grandfather, and three brothers - I spent summers on job sites with my dad starting at age 16. Soon I was working full-time in construction, and I earned my Arizona General Contractor license in 2002. After years of industry work across Arizona, I chose to relocate to Payson to finish my career and give back to a place I love.
Ekwall Restoration brings 20+ years of professional experience in water damage repair, mold remediation, and home restoration to Payson and Rim Country. Because we are a licensed General Contractor - not a mitigation-only company - we handle both the emergency response AND the rebuild. One team, one warranty, one project manager from the first call to the finished walkthrough.
We know Rim Country because we live here. Monsoon humidity in the attic, evaporative cooler leaks, log and cabin construction, north-facing walls that condense moisture inside the cavity in winter - these are patterns we've seen for two decades.
On Call 24/7 for Rim Country
Water damage doesn't wait, and neither do we. Whether it's a burst pipe in the middle of the night, monsoon flooding, a mold problem discovered before closing, or fire and smoke damage, our team dispatches around the clock across Payson, Star Valley, Pine, Strawberry, Christopher Creek, and the rest of Rim Country. Fast response is what keeps a small loss from becoming a full rebuild.
One License, One Warranty
Most restoration companies are mitigation-only - they dry out, remove, and leave, and you're left coordinating a separate drywall crew, finish carpenter, and painter. Because Ekwall is a licensed Arizona General Contractor, the same company that stabilizes your home rebuilds it. Framing, drywall, flooring, cabinets, paint, and finish work all under one project manager and one workmanship guarantee.
