Sage Restoration, a restoration business located in Overland Park, was founded in 2010 after its owner made the decision to leave corporate America and make the leap into small business ownership. Since opening as a one-woman show, the company has since grown to employ 10 individuals including six technicians, two project managers, an office manager and a salesperson to develop corporate relationships.
