A national commercial restoration and construction company continues to build its presence in Owensboro after first arriving in response to a major hailstorm in early 2025.
BlueTeam, a U.S.-based provider specializing in commercial restoration, construction, and roofing, entered the local market following storm damage that impacted properties across the region. Since then, the company has remained active in Owensboro, working on multiple projects while developing relationships with local businesses and property managers.
“We’ve been in Owensboro since March of last year,” said Birman Jenkins, a field sales representative for BlueTeam. “The big hailstorm brought us in, and we had some guys come out to see where we could help put the town back together.”
BlueTeam operates as a turnkey provider for commercial clients, including portfolio managers, asset managers, and property owners. The company focuses exclusively on commercial properties such as hotels, apartment complexes, senior living facilities, industrial sites, and municipal buildings.
“We do the full construction,” Jenkins said. “We do restoration, construction, and storm damage relief — whatever your property needs to be restored back to its normal state before the storm.”
Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with additional operations in Houston, Texas, BlueTeam has expanded to more than 20 locations nationwide. Jenkins said the company’s growth has largely been driven by demand and long-standing relationships with major commercial clients.
“We expanded with the demand,” he said. “We have over 1,600 accounts, ranging from hotels to large commercial properties. A lot of our work comes from referrals and responding when those clients experience damage.”
While BlueTeam is known for its disaster response work, particularly during hurricanes and severe storms, Jenkins emphasized that the company also handles renovation projects, fire and flood restoration, and capital improvement work unrelated to storm damage.
“That’s just a portion of what we do,” Jenkins said. “We also do renovation work and long-term projects. We’re more than just storm response.”
In Owensboro, BlueTeam has taken on several projects since arriving, including work at the Oasis Shelter, the Conference Inn, and the H.L. Neblett Community Center. Jenkins said the company’s ability to scale operations allows it to take on both large and smaller commercial projects when working in a concentrated area.
“When we have a big project in a market, it allows us to help some of the smaller commercial properties as well,” he said.
Jenkins, who is based in Tennessee, frequently travels to Owensboro to oversee projects and build connections within the community. He said relationship-building is a key part of his role, particularly in helping property owners navigate the recovery process after storm damage.
“My job is to create as many relationships as possible and understand what their emergency response plans look like,” Jenkins said. “Sometimes there are delays with insurance or contractors, and we try to help move that process along.”
He added that BlueTeam often assists clients with insurance claims, including re-inspections or advocating for reconsideration when claims are denied.
“There are several properties in Owensboro that still need work,” Jenkins said. “We try to figure out what the holdup is and see if we can help.”
Although the company does not maintain a permanent physical office in Owensboro, Jenkins said BlueTeam maintains a consistent presence in the city and plans to continue working in the region.
“We’re nationwide, but we have a local feel,” he said. “We’re high-tech, high-touch.”
