Their company was recently rated as one of the top 100 companies to work for in their state. Dean Stamper - Regency DKI, Michigan. is the son of a well-known and accomplished person in restoration. We all learn from our mistakes.

Clifford Stratton II - Owner of Regent Restoration DKI in Dallas TX. His father is in the construction business in San Antonio but Clifford has built this company on his own.
