“I make sure every one of my Tri-County
employees and subcontractors reflect my personal
core value of people before profit.”
Since 1994, Tri-County All Restorations has been South Florida's trusted partner during life's most challenging moments. When water damage threatens your home, mold contamination endangers your family's health, or fire destroys your property, we're the neighbors who show up with expertise, honesty, and genuine care.
Founded by Gary Ackel, a Fort Lauderdale native, Tri-County began with a simple mission: treat every customer's home like our own family lives there. Gary recognized that the restoration industry was filled with companies that prioritized profits over people, often recommending unnecessary work to maximize revenue.
We took a different path. Over three decades, we've built our reputation by sometimes walking away from profitable jobs when customers didn't actually need expensive remediation. We've saved homeowners thousands by recommending cost-effective solutions instead of unnecessary demolition. This approach has earned us the trust of over 11,000 South Florida families.
