Role: Founder, Leader, and Chief Vision Wrangler

Michael co-founded Allied Restoration Company with his dad back in 2002 — before TikTok, smart homes, or oat milk lattes. They started with one location in Seattle, Washington, a truck, some big ideas, and probably a roll of duct tape. By 2010, Michael launched the San Francisco office and took things up a notch. Fast forward to today, and Allied is one of the fastest-growing private companies in America — a fact that surprises no one who’s seen Michael on a mission (or on caffeine). As the fearless leader of Team Allied, Michael is in charge of pointing the ship in the right direction, yelling “let’s go!” a lot, and making sure the culture stays strong, the team stays sharp, and the coffee stays hot.

Team Allied Lives by These Fundamentals:

1. Do what’s best for the customer and deliver legendary service.
2. Find a way and go the extra mile (yes, even when it’s uphill).
3. Speak straight — no corporate mumbo jumbo.
4. Create win-win solutions.
5. Celebrate success and keep things fun (bring donuts).
6. Look ahead, anticipate, and be proactive (aka, don’t wait for the roof to leak).
7. Be process-oriented — but not boring.

Role: Restoration Technician Extraordinaire, Moisture Terminator & Quiet Jobsite Hero

Ramon is the guy who doesn’t say much — because he’s too busy getting things DONE. Whether it’s water damage, fire cleanup, or mold that thinks it’s in charge, Ramon shows up with his gear, his game face, and a quiet confidence that says, “I’ve got this.” He doesn’t need a spotlight, just a solid plan and a dry pair of boots. Ramon works circles around the chaos — always focused, always efficient, and always five steps ahead of the next problem.

He’s known for:

1. Getting the job done right the first time
2. Working faster than his coworkers can drink their coffee
3. Keeping calm while others are duct-taping things in a panic
4. Silently judging your mop technique (and then fixing it)
5. Celebrate success and keep things fun (bring donuts).
6. Look ahead, anticipate, and be proactive (aka, don’t wait for the roof to leak).
7. Be process-oriented — but not boring.

With Team Allied’s core values in his back pocket, Ramon is the dependable, no-drama technician every restoration job needs — because when he’s on the site, the job isn’t just done... it’s done right.

Role:Financial Wizard, Budget Tamer & Michael’s Money Muse

Melissa isn’t just Team Allied’s money person — she’s the money whisperer. With a sparkle in her eye and a spreadsheet at the ready, she helps wrangle the numbers, organize the chaos, and keep the company’s financials looking tighter than shrink wrap on a brand-new dehu. Whether she’s waving her wand over budgets, untangling receipts that look like they’ve survived a flood, or guiding Michael from “random pile of papers” to “flawless monthly report,” Melissa does it all with patience, precision, and the kind of charm only a true money sorceress can pull off.

She’s known for:

• Turning financial fog into fiscal clarity
• Getting the biz into tip-top financial shape (without using a crystal ball)
• Holding Michael accountable with a smile... and a spreadsheet
• Making “revenue forecasting” sound almost fun

Melissa brings structure, strategy, and just the right dose of sparkle to everything she touches. If Team Allied’s finances are sharp, clean, and future-ready — you can bet Melissa had a magic wand in that.
