About Shad Friend — Owner and Lead Technician
Shad Friend founded Ben Davis Restoration in 2015 and has specialized in biohazard and crime scene cleanup since 2017. With CTS (Crime Trauma Scene) certification and several hundred biohazard jobs completed across Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, Shad leads a team trained specifically for trauma cleanup and not general restoration work.
Why Specialization Matters
Most restoration companies handle floods, fires, and occasional biohazard work. Ben Davis Restoration focuses exclusively on trauma scenes. This specialization means our team understands the emotional weight of these situations and operates with a level of compassion that general contractors can't match.
Shad has traveled hours to help families locate insurance documents and personal belongings at no charge because finding coverage and reducing stress for grieving families is as important as the cleanup itself.
