Denver-based BluSky Restoration Contractors LLC, a national property restoration company, has acquired Salt Lake City-based Liberty Restoration.
The merged companies will continue as BluSky Restoration Contractors, operating 65 offices in 27 states. In addition to restoration services currently provided by Liberty, BluSky plans to add its commercial roofing and healthcare restoration business lines to the Salt Lake City, Layton and St. George markets.
“Liberty Restoration is another strategic addition as we bolster support for our customers in the West,” said Drew Bisping, BluSky CEO. “We are excited to grow our BluSky family and further expand in the state of Utah.”
“Established in 2005, privately owned and operated Liberty Restoration takes pride in providing restoration services to various communities in Utah, not only cleaning the visible damage, but doing so with pride and integrity,” the transaction announcement said. “A notable core value the Liberty team abides by is the ‘Grandma Rule.’” In other words, treat everyone as you would your own grandma — with kindness, gentleness and care.”
Liberty owner John Williamson will join the BluSky Owner’s Council, and Bisping will continue as CEO of the merged firm.
“From the beginning, Liberty’s mission has been to provide a safe, stable, family-friendly work environment for our employees and to provide our customers with the highest level of service,” said Williamson. “I am confident that partnering with BluSky is the best way for Liberty to continue to meet that mission. With the additional scope and resources BluSky brings to the table, I am excited for the opportunities that will be available to the Liberty team and its customers.”
The acquisition is the 16th in a strategic plan of mergers and acquisitions in the past six years to support BluSky growth, according to Bisping.
