COMPANY HISTORY
The incorporation of Rapid Recovery Services in 2005 by president Robert Newman was a natural progression in his already distinguished career as a general contractor and emergency mitigation specialist. During his years working as a Project Manager for large disaster remediation firms in the metropolitan area, Bob Newman learned not only the most effective approaches to disaster remediation but also the finer points of earning  a client’s trust and confidence at a very trying time -- whether that client is a busy property manager, an insurer, or an anxious homeowner.

In those years Bob also established a powerful network of colleagues, contacts and experts in the field. To fulfill his vision for RRS, he mined this network to assemble the best integrated emergency mitigation team in the New York area. With the opening of an office and warehouse in Astoria, Queens, the company gained not only a central location to the five boroughs but also the closest operational springboard to Manhattan and therefore the fastest response time – an issue of critical importance to the proper securing and assessment of a property loss site.

Another key part of Bob’s vision was to ensure the delivery of quality services by making RRS into a one-stop shop that provides most of its services on an in-house basis. By offering the entire spectrum of emergency mitigation services without the need for extensive subcontractor involvement, RRS is able to provide superior quality control and a consistent, supportive relationship with each client.

Today, RRS counts among its clientele several major international insurance firms – including prestigious private-client groups – as well as large NYC insurance brokerages and property management interests.  The company offers an unparalleled focus on customer service and the assurance that each job will be performed quickly, cleanly and professionally to the complete satisfaction of all involved parties.
