Our Team

In 1995 Kevin graduated with a degree in accounting and relocated to the southeastern United States. He and Sarah, his wife of 27 years, have the goal of creating a legacy for their three children with the business. The industry has provided their family with many opportunities, and he loves being able to make a difference in people’s lives. Before entering the construction side of the restoration industry, Kevin was an underwriter, claims field adjuster, and worked for a third-party administrator in the industry. The last 10 years of his now 21-year career on the restoration side of the business has been as the owner of Camel City Restoration. Kevin is actively involved at Two Cities Church in Winston Salem, is an assistant hunter safety skills coach, and enjoys being a husband, dad, and friend. He holds certifications through the IICRC in fire, water, and mold and carries the company’s general contractor’s license. Kevin serves as a board member for both the NC Grange Mutual Insurance company and the Mid South Cleaning and Restoration Association (MCRA) trade organization.

Shannon is one of Camel City Restoration’s project managers. He is father to a 19-year-old graduate. He previously owned a construction company and has 25 years of construction experience with half of that being in the insurance restoration industry. Customer service is his priority when dealing with a loss because he understands the mix of emotions that come with having your daily life interrupted due to disaster. Shannon enjoys long walks at your remodel, muscle cars, guns, and Slim Jim’s.

He maintains his adjuster’s license which allows him to better advocate for Camel City’s clients. When he is not working with friends at CCR, Shane enjoys spending time traveling with his wife and daughter.

While a recent addition to the Camel City Restoration family, Khristy has known Kevin for longer than she can remember since he’s been her brother-in-law for 27 years. She comes to Camel City with an extensive insurance industry background in personal homeowners and automobile insurance lines. After meeting her husband in 2016 and starting a family soon after, Khristy decided to pursue her dream of becoming a real estate agent. As a licensed real estate agent, she truly loves the opportunity to help others with the process of homebuying and selling, from start to finish. In her spare time, she can be found spending time with her family, working puzzles, or exercising with her niece.

He and his wife lived in the Dominican Republic for three years where he worked as a youth pastor until they came back home for health reasons.

When his employer started the process to retire and cut back on work, Darrell came to work for Camel City Restoration in May 2023 as a carpenter.

Did You Know?
You Have the Right to Choose

People often don’t realize that they do not have to go with the companies recommended by their insurance, which are often nationally franchised companies with little quality guarantee. You can choose local companies that have quality guarantee and know how to put you first. We encourage you to be hands on with your insurance! You have a right to choose who is in your home, and Camel City Restoration has a great working relationship with insurance companies!

Climatized and Secure Warehouse Storage

Should your damage require that your personal property leave the climatized environment of your home, we have the answer. Our offices are attached to our climatized warehouse and you have the option to let us store your furniture for you. This means that your personal property will remain at temperatures between 67 and 72 degrees. Extreme changes in temperature or exposure to high or low humidity can have a negative impact on your personal belongings, so why choose an on site storage unit that does not offer regulated temperature? We also have 24/7 security through our warehouse cameras, installed to guard your possessions, and we scan each of your items so we know where they are located at any given time.

Collectively we hold industry certifications to perform at top levels in our field and we hold state licenses for lead remediation. North Carolina Lead Certified

North Carolina General Contractors License
IICRC – Fire & Smoke Restoration
