Jon Isaacson, The Intentional Restorer

Contractor

Jon Isaacson has been in the skilled trades for over 20 years. His introduction to property restoration started with an advertisement in the local paper for a carpet cleaner position with a franchise operation. Jon was hired as a remediation technician for a new mold department that was forming during the "mold is gold era." With a young family, he sought every opportunity for additional training and overtime, which exposed him to water damage mitigation, fire damage cleaning, contents pack-outs, and repairs. Jon has helped start, grow, and revive various divisions including full service, mitigation, abatement, remodeling, and repairs. He is currently the Vice President of Operation for ARES Restoration in Puyallup, WA.
