Severe Fire Incapacitates Custom Cabinet Manufacturer

An extensive fire in the completed orders section of this 75,000 square foot facility caused a cessation of all business operations of this Long Island, NY custom cabinet manufacturing plant. After consulting with the business owners, MAXONS outlined a fast-track recovery strategy which began with removal of the extensive fire debris while our team of cleaning specialists worked around-the-clock to restore their manufacturing operations. Work continued for several weeks thereafter until all traces of the fire were restored and the company went back to business.
