Veteran Owned. Mission Driven.
Stars and Bars Restoration isn't a franchise or a national chain. We're your neighbors — a veteran-owned, Colorado-based restoration company that brings military precision and dedication to every job.
Meet Robert Hewett
Robert Hewett founded Stars and Bars Restoration with a simple mission: provide Southern Colorado with honest, high-quality restoration services backed by real expertise and personal accountability.
As an owner-operator, Robert is personally involved in every major project. He answers the phone when you call, oversees the work on-site, and doesn't consider a job done until you're satisfied. That's a level of commitment you won't find from national chains.
Robert holds five IICRC certifications — WRT, ASD, AMRT, FSRT, and OCT — the industry's most recognized credentials for restoration professionals. This training ensures that every job is done right, following the latest industry standards and best practices.
Based in Colorado City, CO, Stars and Bars serves communities across Southern Colorado — from Colorado Springs to Trinidad, Cañon City to Alamosa. When disaster strikes, our team responds fast because we know these communities are home.

What Sets Us Apart
Owner on Every Job
Robert personally oversees every major project. You get direct access to the decision-maker, not a crew lead relaying messages to a distant office.
True 24/7 Response
We answer our phone at 2 AM on Christmas. Water damage doesn't schedule itself, and our response doesn't wait for business hours.
Insurance Experts
We've worked with every major carrier. We document thoroughly, communicate directly with adjusters, and handle billing so you can focus on recovery.
One Team, Start to Finish
From emergency water extraction to final paint touch-ups, one company handles it all. No subcontractor shuffle, no finger-pointing, no delays.
Honest & Transparent
We tell you what we find, recommend what you need (not what maximizes our invoice), and provide clear pricing before work begins.
Community First
We live here. We serve our neighbors. When your property is damaged, we take it personally — because it's our community too.
