Teevan Restoration had modest beginnings in 1963 as a painting business founded by Jim Teevan who used it as a means to supplement income while pursuing higher education. Other student friends of Jim were hired on with the same motivation. One of Jim¿s fellow Yale graduates was Benjamin Ladomirak who also became a member of the Teevan team. The company took on a life of its own driven by customer demand for bigger and expanded services beyond painting. The company evolved into remodeling and historical restoration in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ben eventually stood out as the most competent individual to carry on the business ideal when the founder developed cancer. The Teevan Restoration ideal was carried forward by Mr. Ladomirak after Jim Teevan¿s death and continues today with the founder¿s standards. The company has been honored with a Chrysalis Award for Remodeling Excellence in 2008, a NARI CotY Award in 2008 and a Big 50 Award from Remodeling Magazine.
