Engineering Inspections and Restoration Services was founded in 2021 following the tragedy of the Surfside Condo Collapse. Our founder, Art Fleahman is a condominium resident himself, with 40 years of background in construction. He knew instantly that he had the background in construction required to aid the everyday condo owners and the lawmakers working to prevent another tragedy. He worked hard and gained connections to the State legislature, became a registered lobbyist, and worked closely with the leaders in Tallahassee to perfect the Milestone and SIRS laws. While still not perfect, our company is still on the leading edge of Florida law, and closely working with the legislature to ensure the everyday condo owner is safe and financially well.

Today, EIRS remains at the forefront of Florida law, continuing to advocate for condominium safety while expanding our services. While at first we started with only providing Milestone Inspections and SIRS, we have grown exponentially to encompass a wide variety of services. We now are pleased to offer major and minor restoration services, project management and third-party oversight for restorations, consulting services, maintenance programs, SIRS, Reserve studies, and much more! Our main focus is, and always will be, safety and security for everyday condominium owners by providing Practical Solutions to Complex Problems.
