“I love the storm-repair and insurance-restoration business because it allows me to help people rebuild after disaster strikes,” said Steve Shanton, CEO and founder of Venture Construction Group. “I have the same passion for life and my business. Work with passion, give with passion and always take the time to help others.”

In addition to providing construction, renovation and restoration services, Venture Construction Group helps property owners recover quickly after storm events such as hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, wind, fire and flood.
