Disaster Recovery Restoration is a licensed general contractor headquartered in Tempe, AZ — 977 W 23rd St, 85282 — operating under AZ ROC #349012, a KB-1 Dual license for residential and commercial construction. Tempe is the city we know best: the ASU campus and its tens of thousands of students, the Town Lake corridor, the Mill Avenue District, and the older residential pockets near downtown each generate their own kind of rebuild work, and we handle all of it. Multifamily property managers, ASU-area landlords, and downtown commercial tenants form a significant share of our recurring-customer base.
The Contractor Whose Address
Is a Tempe Address.
Most contractors serve Tempe from somewhere else. We serve it from 23rd Street. That proximity changes the practical things — response time measured in minutes, walkthroughs scheduled same-day, a project manager who can be on site between inspections — and it changes the accountability, because our reputation lives where our clients do.
Under one KB-1 Dual license we carry Tempe projects from damage assessment through structural rebuild and finish work — student housing, Town Lake commercial space, and the mid-century homes near downtown alike — with no subcontractor handoff in the middle.
How It Works
Our General Contracting Process
Call the contractor down the street
Our headquarters is at 977 W 23rd St, Tempe — so when you call, you are calling a company whose trucks are already inside city limits. We answer 24/7 and can typically have someone at a Tempe address in minutes, not hours.
Scope it in writing
Before a hammer swings, you get a written scope. For insurance rebuilds we estimate in Xactimate, the platform your adjuster already works in, so approvals move faster and supplements carry the same evidentiary weight as the original estimate.
Permits & inspections handled
Where Tempe requires permits, we run the submittals and inspection schedule ourselves. Mid-century structures near downtown often need code upgrades during a rebuild — we fold those into the scope up front instead of surprising you mid-project.
Structural work in-house
Framing, subfloor, sheathing, and load-path repairs are performed by DRR employees under our KB-1 Dual license — the same license that covers the multifamily buildings and commercial spaces we rebuild along the Town Lake corridor.
Finish to match the building
A 1950s-era Tempe bungalow, a student-housing unit, and a Mill Avenue storefront all call for different finish standards. Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and paint are matched to what the building actually is — not to a one-size-fits-all spec.
Walkthrough & documentation
The project closes with a walkthrough against the written scope, a completed punch list, and a documentation package — permits, photos, and scope records — for your files, your carrier, or your property-management records.

FAQ
General contractor Tempe — FAQ
Is DRR a licensed general contractor in Tempe?
Yes — and Tempe is more than a service area for us; it is where DRR is headquartered. General contracting runs under AZ ROC #349012, a KB-1 Dual license valid for residential and commercial projects throughout Arizona, and the firm behind it is IICRC certified, BBB A+ accredited, bonded, and insured.
Where in Tempe are you located?
Our headquarters is at 977 W 23rd St, Tempe, AZ 85282. Because we dispatch from inside city limits, response time to Tempe addresses is measured in minutes — for emergencies and for scheduled walkthroughs alike.
Do you work with ASU-area landlords and multifamily property managers?
Constantly. Multifamily property managers, ASU-area landlords, and downtown commercial tenants make up a significant share of our recurring-customer base in Tempe. We understand turn schedules, semester timing, and occupied-building logistics, and we plan rebuild phasing around them.
Can you rebuild an older, mid-century Tempe home?
Yes. The residential pockets near downtown Tempe include mid-century construction where a water or mold loss often opens up original framing, plaster, and outdated assemblies. Our rebuilds bring those areas to current code where required, document every change, and match finishes so the repair does not read as a patch.
Do you handle commercial projects downtown and along Town Lake?
Yes. The commercial half of our KB-1 Dual license covers tenant improvements, storefront and office rebuilds, and larger commercial reconstruction. The Mill Avenue District and the Tempe Town Lake corridor are blocks from our headquarters, and downtown commercial tenants are among our regular clients.
Will you coordinate with my insurance carrier?
Yes. Scopes and supplements are written in Xactimate, the same environment your adjuster uses, so estimates, change documentation, and final billing all reconcile cleanly. If we handled your mitigation, the same project manager stays on the file through reconstruction.
Can you also handle the roof on a Tempe project?
Yes. In addition to the KB-1, DRR holds AZ ROC #365125 — a CR-42 Specialty Dual Roofing license — so a storm-damaged roof and the interior rebuild beneath it stay under one company and one contract.
How long does a typical rebuild take?
Scope drives schedule. A single-room rebuild usually takes a few weeks; larger whole-floor or whole-structure projects run from roughly two months to six or more depending on size, finishes, and permitting. You receive a written schedule before work starts, updated as the project moves.
