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. My team. We do the assessment. We run the equipment. We take the moisture readings. We send you the updates. If something isn't right, you're telling the team that can fix it — because we're standing in your house.
You get the actual tools. We use FLIR thermal imaging cameras to see moisture inside walls before we cut into anything. We use a Protimeter MMS3 to get accurate readings — not the $30 pin meter from the hardware store. We run commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. We 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. We 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 you talk to. 4D is owner-operated — that means I oversee every assessment, my team runs the equipment under my protocols, and we're there until the job is done. We 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 We 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.
