Most restoration contractors stop at the drying equipment. Panhandle also runs a kitchen and bath design center, at 112 31st Street in Wheeling, backed by exclusive distribution deals on flooring, tile and fixtures. It is open to restoration clients as well as to new-construction and ordinary home-improvement customers, which means a fire or flood job can finish with selections made in house rather than routed through third-party vendors and installers.

Robert C. Contraguerro, Sr. founded the company in 1977 on a straightforward premise of fairness, honesty and quality work. Nearly fifty years later the operation spans six states.

The Wheeling headquarters has expanded to 55,000 square feet and holds a temperature-controlled warehouse and contents storage area, ozone treatment chambers, drying rooms and industrial wash bays. A separate 7,000 square foot dispatch center keeps equipment staged to move at any hour. That contents-side capacity is what the investment buys: Panhandle reports salvaging more than 85 percent of soft goods such as clothing, sporting equipment and stuffed toys that would once have been declared non-restorable after smoke, fire, water or sewage damage.

Five offices carry the geography. Wheeling, Morgantown and Charleston cover West Virginia, Springdale handles the Pittsburgh side, and a fifth office sits well outside the Ohio Valley entirely, in Sarasota, Florida.

Claims are handled directly with the carrier. Panhandle submits full itemized estimates and appraisals, and states its aim as minimizing the policyholder’s out-of-pocket cost while securing the benefits the policy actually provides. Free inspections are offered up front, and financing is available for work that falls outside coverage.

Mold remediation here is framed around cause rather than symptom. The crew locates and repairs the moisture source that fed the growth, on the reasoning that removal alone leaves the same conditions in place.

The broader service list reaches past emergency response into document drying, structural drying and climate control, biohazard cleanup, reconstruction, custom home building, and routine cleaning of carpet, upholstery and air ducts, for residential, commercial and industrial properties alike. Memberships with CORE Elite, Restoration Affiliates and DKI supply additional training and large-loss resources.
