About
Pioneer Restoration
FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED
We are a family, owned and operated company. Scott and Marj, husband and wife, operated together. We believe in giving high-quality service to those experiencing a disaster of any kind that we can help with. Scott is IICRC triple master certified. We are quickly growing towards being the premier water damage company serving Eagle River, Chugiak, and beyond. We started by offering carpet cleaning in 2013 and quickly added several services over the next several years. We added limited water damage services in 2015 and grew by leaps and bounds after the earthquake in 2018! Since then we have filled out our ranks with amazing friends and family to provide amazing service!

Hey, I’m Malachi. I’ve been with Pioneer Restoration for a little over a year and love it!
If I had to choose a summer hobby, It’ll always be fishing. Unlike winter, where I choose to be a hermit crab.

I attended UAF for 2 years. I’ve been working in mitigation for 2½ years, and always excited to help. I love cooking and have been trying to make something new to try every week and I’m always open for suggestions. I also enjoy table top rpgs. My favorite system to play is City of Mist. Other hobbies include singing, dancing, video games, and board games.
