LIHU‘E – Locally owned and operated Premier Restoration Hawaii (PRH) today announced that Anthony Nelson of Makawao, Maui has been promoted to president. Formerly the Chief Commercial Officer, in his new role as president, Anthony is now responsible for finance, growth strategy, achieving annual sales and process goals and overseeing all operations across the state for Hawaii’s full-service mitigation and restoration company. PRH provides one-stop solutions for water, fire, mold, and storm damage to residential and commercial properties on Maui, Oahu, Hawaii Island and most recently, Kaua‘i.
“I am so excited to work with the PRH team in this new role and there’s no other team that I’d rather be working with or responsible for,” Anthony said. “For me, it goes back to our core values—customer first, team, play to win, pride in work, communication—and our team goes out of their way to live these values. The clearest outcome of our quality work and excellent service is our Google reviews. We’re giving people a positive experience when their house just flooded or caught on fire. To get a high rating when people are dealing with that, it’s a real testament to what our team is doing in the field every day.”
In addition to his new responsibilities and the coaching and development of their leadership team, Anthony achieved his goal of expanding PRH’s services to Kauai with a brick-and-mortar office and full-time staff of 20 to service the Garden Isle. In December 2020, Anthony led the acquisition of The Professionals Kauai, located at 4247 Kapaia Road in Lihue. Boasting 32 years in operation, Kauai’s oldest and largest restoration company brought in over $4 million in sales in 2019. Now under the Premier Restoration Hawaii banner, it remains the only brick-and-mortar restoration company on the island, continuing full service to island residents and companies.
“I saw the opportunity to partner with Premier Restoration Hawaii first and foremost as a chance to serve the community of Kauai far more than I would have been able to as a stand-alone company,” said Mike Wallace, former owner and Lawai resident, and now the general manager of Kauai operations. “We are excited to be a part of a company that strives for quality and places great value in relationships with our customers.”
All 20 Kauai staff will continue working during the transition. As the general manager of Kauai operations, Wallace will be responsible for oversight of operations and customer relations, bringing decades of experience and long-standing relationships to the Premier Restoration Hawaii team.
