The Version for People Who Don't Read About Pages
I'm Phil Sheridan. I own and operate 4D Restoration out of Edmond, Oklahoma. I did six years in the Oklahoma Army National Guard, including a deployment to Afghanistan. After that I was a police officer, then spent time doing insurance inspections — which is how I learned what adjusters actually look for. I started 4D in January 2024 because I wanted to do restoration the right way — one person, accountable, no middleman.
If you call (405) 896-9088, I'm the one who answers. If you schedule a job, I'm the one who shows up. I've done this more times than I can count, and I'm available 24/7.
That's the short version. Keep reading if you want the rest.
How I Got Here
I live in Edmond. I work in Edmond. Most of my jobs are within an hour of my house, which means I run into my customers at the hardware store, at the post office, and at my kids' school events. That matters. It means I can't do a bad job and disappear. I live here.
I spent six years in the Oklahoma Army National Guard. Deployed to Afghanistan in 2011, came home in 2012. I'm a service-disabled veteran.
When I got back, I became a police officer. It was good work — showed up, handled the situation, did the paperwork, went home. I liked the structure. But the hours and the schedule took a toll with four kids at home. My wife and I looked at it honestly and decided something had to change.
So I pivoted. I did insurance inspections for a while — which turned out to be one of the most useful jobs I've ever had. I learned how adjusters think, what they document, what they look for, and what makes them approve or deny a claim. I didn't know it at the time, but I was training for what I do now.
Restoration made sense. Property damage is real. The panic is real. The fix is physics and protocols and showing up. Between the Guard, policing, and the inspection work, I had the discipline, the crisis training, and the insurance knowledge. All that was left was the technical skill.
I got my IICRC certifications. I trained under experienced restorers. I learned what good looks like — and I learned what the industry usually delivers instead. My customers seem to agree.
I started 4D Restoration on January 3, 2024, because I got tired of watching people get average work at emergency prices.
How This Actually Works
Here's what you get when you hire 4D:
You get me. Not a franchise crew. Not a subcontractor I've never met. Me. I do the assessment. I run the equipment. I take the moisture readings. I send you the updates. If something isn't right, you're telling the person who can fix it — because that person is standing in your house.
You get the actual tools. I use FLIR thermal imaging cameras to see moisture inside walls before I cut into anything. I use a Protimeter MMS3 to get accurate readings — not the $30 pin meter from the hardware store. I run commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. I use botanical antimicrobials that won't poison your air while they're cleaning it.
I couldn't tell you what's in my living room right now. I could draw you a floor plan of my equipment trailer from memory.
You get documentation. Every reading, every photo, every change to the scope — documented. Years of insurance inspections taught me exactly what adjusters need to see. If your insurance company asks a question, I have the answer in a file, timestamped, with photos. I don't wing it.
You get honest scoping. If your situation needs two fans for three days, I don't put six fans down and charge you for a week. I scope what's necessary. Not what's maximally profitable.
I'm usually sitting in my truck at ten till, waiting for it to be polite to knock.
I treat your house like I'm a guest who happens to be carrying industrial equipment.
Things People Ask Me
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=01 "Are you the person who actually shows up, or do you send employees?" ▶ ENTER
I'm the person who shows up. 4D is owner-operated — that means I do the assessment, I run the equipment, and I'm there when the job is done. I don't send someone you've never met to your house. If you call 4D, you get Phil.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=02 "You started in 2024 — isn't that pretty new?" ▶ ENTER
The company is new. I'm not. I did six years in the Guard, then spent years in law enforcement and insurance inspection work before I ever picked up a dehumidifier. I've completed hundreds of projects since launching. The business is young. The experience isn't.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=03 "What does "mitigation" mean — do you do the full rebuild too?" ▶ ENTER
Mitigation is everything between "this just happened" and "now a general contractor can rebuild." I stop the damage, dry the structure, remove contaminants, and get your property to a point where reconstruction can begin safely. I don't do the rebuild itself — that's a different trade, and I believe in staying in my lane. Some companies try to do everything. I'd rather be excellent at one thing. If you need me right now, head to my <a href='/emergency/'>emergency page</a>.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=04 "How does your background help with insurance claims?" ▶ ENTER
Before starting 4D, I spent time doing insurance inspections. I know how adjusters think, what documentation they need, and what makes them approve or push back on a claim. When I document your damage, I'm documenting it the way the adjuster's going to want to see it — because I've been on that side of the clipboard.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=05 "Can I call you directly, or do I have to go through a dispatcher?" ▶ ENTER
You call me directly. (405) 896-9088. That's my phone. No phone tree, no "press 1 for water damage," no hold music. If I'm on a job, I might not answer on the first ring, but I'll call you back within minutes. If it's an emergency, text me — I check texts even when my hands are occupied. You can also <a href='/contact/'>reach me through the contact page</a>.
Get Phil.
You know who I am now. You know how I work.
If you've got water, mold, fire damage, or something you're not sure about — call me. I'll tell you what I see, I'll tell you what it takes, and I won't sell you anything you don't need.
(405) 896-9088 — Call or text. I answer.
Talk to Phil
Same number. Same Phil. Call or text — I respond to both.
