Overview: In August of 2022 we received an emergency response phone call from the manager of the
Super-8 Motel in Belgrade, MT to help with a sewer back up,that had affected 14 of their rooms.
Sewage of course is a serious matter and is categorized as category 3 "black water" meaning it is grossly
contaminated and can contain pathogenic,toxigenic, or other harmful agents and can cause significant
adverse reaction to humans if contacted or consumed.This job was large in scope with all carpet,
padding, baseboard, and dry wall being removed from the affected rooms. Of course this was completed
as is everything we do, to industry standards.The time constraint on this was tight, as the motel did
have to be shut down, in order to minimize disruption to the business we assigned a large crew to be
able to finish this job and get the operation back up and running, and restored to it's pre-loss condition.
The general manager and point of contact for this project was Anita Johnson,who can be reached at
406-548-8261.

Overview: In December of 2022 we responded to a daytime emergency response at The Montana State
University Field House in which a fire suppression system flooded thirty individual offices on upper and
lower level floors. Montana State University has a large facilities and maintenance crew,who were
responsible for pulling all carpet on site, and were able to relieve pressure in areas with water build up.
Buffalo Restoration worked side-by-side with the facilities team at MSU and were able to coordinate
around their staff to contain the loss, set up fans and dehumidifiers and were able to start the drying
process.As some will remember December of 2022 saw record low temperatures, and the size and
complexity of the loss were a strain on our resources due to the size, complexity and our extremely high
call volume during this time— But as a company we were able to organize an initial emergency response
crew in little time and have people on site within the hour. In addition to the drying process, Buffalo
Restoration was also able to handle the contents of the offices, and keep the field house open and
functioning for the athletic events MSU was scheduled to host during this process.

Overview: We received a call from The City of Bozeman—Facilities, at roughly 2:30pm on February 16,
2022 to respond to a floor drain that had backed up into the offices located on the main floor of the
building and had affected the lower level as well; and we were able to have a foreman on site by
3:15pm.The loss in total affected 12 rooms,the loss was categorized as a category 3 "Black Water"
sewage loss (grossly contaminated and can contain pathogenic,toxigenic, or other harmful agents and
can cause significant adverse reaction to humans if contacted or consumed). Our foremen and
technicians performed deconstruction to the affected rooms, removing all contaminated materials.As
part of our service, whenever deconstruction happens on the jobsite, Buffalo restoration performs
cleanup to ensure a clean and safe workspace,that also promotes drying and moisture removal. All
Buffalo Restoration equipment was removed by 02/23/2022. Following industry standards Buffalo
Restoration was able to restore the building to its pre-loss condition and remove all the moisture
content in the wall,floors, and ceilings. After the drying process was completed,the City of Bozeman
contracted Buffalo Restoration to handle the reconstruction services as well. Our contact at the time of
the project with the City was Mike Grey—number listed is 406-579-4343.

Overview: One of the most complex jobs in Buffalo Restoration's more recent history was that of the
Montana State University—Marga Hosaeus Fitness Center roof collapse during March of 2019. Buffalo
Restoration was contracted by Martel Construction. Martel contacted Buffalo for a consultation walk-
through and inspection of the building post-collapse. Buffalo was not contracted through Martel until 2-
months after the collapse;while conducting our on-site inspection,visible mold was forming and there
was still moisture affecting the building. Buffalo set up containment on the mold growth, and then
proceeded to set forth a drying plan to meet the challenges and complexity of the scope of the loss to
include fans, dehumidifies, and temporary heat allocations for the affected rooms.The process from
start to finish on a job of this scale was much longer than what is typical—and mainly because of set
backs in working with other contractors on site, that would move or turn off Buffalo Restoration
equipment to set up workstations, ultimately extending our drying period.Also, on projects with this
type of extensive damage, monitoring drying progress, creating logs and monitoring/moving equipment
can take upwards of an entire day to meet industry standards. In the end Buffalo Restoration was able
to perform our work to industry standards, and create a positive experience for the University, our point
of contact on the job was John Kalmon at 406-600-4057.

Overview: In our 30+year history, Buffalo Restoration has been trusted to restore and care for some of
Bozeman's most iconic buildings. One of the icons we have had the privilege to restore was the Federal
Building on Babcock St. in downtown Bozeman in December of 2016.The loss started as a roof leak that
slowly worked down affecting all floors below.This job not only had a large scope but had the added
complexity of working with an industrial hygienist due to the contents of the water that had leaked
through—category 3 "black water" due to animal waste and the origination spot of the leak. Our team
was able to put an approved plan together with the hygienist, and we were able to apply heavy biocide
to the affected areas and carpet, prior to setting our fans and dehumidifiers.This ensured that any
bacteria or germs that had penetrated the affected floors,would be safe for human occupancy. We
were able to restore the building back to it's pre-loss condition. Our point of contact for the project was
John Marino at 303-296-5420.

Formerly known as Buffalo Painting, established in 1976, Buffalo Restoration was officially incorporated
in December of 1991 after noticing a significant lack of resources for commercial & residential
restoration services. Ben and Gail Yanker started operations in their garage, slowly adding employees
through the 90's, before eventually moving into their first commercial shop at 107 Bridger center dr. for
17 years, then breaking ground and moving into their current facility at 555 Manley Rd. across from
WealthVest Financial and Glen Rotary Park in 2012. What started as two employees in 1991 has
blossomed into 47 full-time employees as of February 2023. For over 30 years Buffalo Restoration has
been Southwest Montana's premier restoration contractor serving Gallatin, Park, Madison,Jefferson,
Meagher, Broadwater, Beaverhead, Sweet Grass and Carbon counties.
We provide full-service damage restoration services including: water damage,fire damage; smoke and
soot removal; mold remediation; residential &commercial cleaning,Air Duct/HVAC system cleaning;

service restoration. We aim to provide disaster restoration services focused on solutions that are highly
valued by homeowners and businesses throughout Montana so that we can live up to our mission
statement of"We Make It Feel Like Home Again".
Since our inception in 1991 Buffalo Restoration has been one of the nation's leading restoration
companies in determining industry standards. Our owner Ben Yanker served on the Board of Directors
for the Restoration Industry Association (RIA) and has helped develop and write many of the standards
followed by other restoration companies across the world today. It is also evident in the type of training
and development that we use today; With over 75%of our staff holding industry certifications (all at
zero cost to our employees), and 3 of them holding the title of Certified Restorer(CR),which is the
penultimate achievement in comprehensive restoration, project management, and consulting mastery;
with Ben Yanker being the very first CR in the state of Montana. It is because of our highly educated and

Our firm is more than capable of meeting and producing time and budget requirements when
expectations are communicated clearly before work is set to begin. Our staff is highly educated and
experienced, and adept at handling/adjusting to meeting demands (Livingston Floods of 2022— Bridger
Canyon Fire of 2020), we are currently operating at optimal staff levels to handle incoming projects, but
we can flex and grow our staffing significantly to handle large disasters.
Claims:
Buffalo Restoration is happy to report that as of the date of this report our firm has not had any claims
paid for liquidated damages after completion of a project under contract with a public owner.
