What Drives Us

The values behind the way ETF Restoration works.

Hands-on leadership, honest work, and a commitment to doing the job right are at the center of how ETF Restoration serves Northeast Ohio.

Quality Over Quantity

Every project is approached with the belief that clients deserve results that reflect the value they are paying for, not rushed volume-driven work.

Direct Communication

Clients get responsive communication and hands-on leadership instead of being pushed through a call center or disconnected process.

🛠

Practical Expertise

Real field experience, strong construction management knowledge, and restoration know-how guide the way our team approaches each project.

Community Commitment

ETF Restoration believes in giving back and investing in the same Northeast Ohio communities that shaped the company’s leadership team.

Meet The Owners

A leadership team built on friendship, experience, and shared standards.

ETF Restoration was founded by a close-knit leadership group with deep local roots, hands-on field experience, formal construction education, and a shared commitment to helping families and businesses through difficult situations.

Nick Clark

Co-Owner | Business Leadership | Operations Focus

Born and raised in Grafton, Ohio, Nick Clark brings local pride, business discipline, and personal accountability to ETF Restoration. After graduating from Midview High School, he studied Aviation Science and earned his pilot license before completing a second degree in Business Management and Administration from Lorain County Community College.

Nick is married to his high school sweetheart and is raising a young family while continuing to serve the communities that helped shape him. His approach to leadership is rooted in integrity, hard work, and a firm belief that honest service and quality workmanship matter more than anything else.

“We founded our own business with a clear purpose: a firm belief in quality over quantity. Providing clients with honest work, reliable service, and results that truly reflect what they are paying for matters most to me.”

Nick Fitzgerald “Fitz”

Co-Owner | Construction Expertise | Restoration Field Experience

Nick Fitzgerald, known as Fitz, is a construction expert from Grafton, Ohio who earned his bachelor’s degree in Construction Management from Kent State University. He built a strong foundation in the restoration industry through a decade of boots-on-the-ground field experience, gaining firsthand knowledge in project execution, site conditions, planning, and recovery work.

That field-tested background now helps ETF Restoration deliver practical solutions, sharper oversight, and strong project management from the earliest stages of damage response through finished outcomes. Fitz brings the mindset of a builder who understands both the pressure of restoration work and the importance of getting the details right.

“For a full 10 years, it was boots-on-the-ground work, mastering the art of turning chaos into flawless comebacks. That experience still drives the way I approach every project today.”

Josh Mitchell

Co-Owner | Construction Management | Long-Term Project Vision

Josh Mitchell’s respect for the trades began early, inspired by his father’s work ethic and the discipline of the working class. After starting in construction right out of high school and attending LCCC, he went on to earn a Construction Management degree from Kent State and spent more than a decade with The Whiting-Turner Construction Company in Columbus.

Eventually, Josh returned to Northeast Ohio with a clear mission: build something meaningful with lifelong friends and create a company that helps people in times of need. His motivation is centered on helping families regain safe, functional spaces and helping team members grow into the best version of themselves professionally.

“My motivation is simply to help folks in a time of need. I want to help provide a new space for a family to enjoy and make memories for years to come.”
