Thompson Restoration Associates

We’d like to share that Arianny Damian will be closing her chapter with Thompson Restoration Associates.

During her time at Thompson, Arianny played a meaningful role in our growth and momentum. Her energy, creativity, and authenticity helped elevate our brand and expand how we show up across the community and the industry. Much of the visibility and traction we benefit from today reflects the passion she brought to her work.

Arianny’s impact can be seen through the evolution of signature initiatives such as our annual golf outing, increased visibility through speaking engagements and industry panels, and consistent representation of Thompson across more than eight nonprofit and professional boards. Through this work, she helped position Thompson as a forward-thinking organization deeply invested in long-term relationships and community leadership.

While we are saddened to see her go, we are proud of the path she’s choosing and grateful for everything she has contributed. Arianny is stepping away from the restoration industry entirely to pursue a new and distinctly creative direction, and we know she will bring the same excellence and intention to whatever comes next.

The connections she helped build — rooted in trust, presence, and purpose — are ones we are committed to carrying forward as part of our mission of Rebuilding Property and Restoring Lives.

Please join us in thanking Arianny for her impact and in wishing her continued success in her next chapter!

The work doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.
It waits for people who are ready to respond: calmly, safely, and with care. That’s who we are.

A letter from our Owner, Tim Thompson:
"I was saddened to hear that George Thomas passed away on New Year’s.

George was a longtime force in the restoration world here in Columbus, spanning decades. He started his business just a year or so after I started mine—47 years ago—and his firm, George Thomas Contracting, quite literally helped thousands of families and business owners recover from tragic property losses. George always did things the right way, ethically and professionally. He also served our community for many years on the Columbus building licensing board.

Those early days of restoration were different—in the best way. Contractors talked to one another. We helped each other. We shared best practices, lessons learned from doing things right, and even from the mistakes we made along the way. There was a group of owners who got together monthly for happy hour, simply to talk shop and mentor one another. If I ever needed another set of ears or some honest advice, I could always count on George.

When George closed his business about 10 years ago, it was a sad day for me. Yes, he was a competitor—but more importantly, he was a colleague and a friend. I knew then that the landscape of restoration contracting locally was changing, and that a hole had opened up in our small community.

I will miss George Thomas.

My thoughts are with his family and all those whose lives he touched.

Tim Thompson C.R.
President
Thompson Restoration Associates"
