About Us
Liberty Restoration Group was founded through the strategic merger of two premier ServiceMaster Restore franchises ServiceMaster St. Charles and ServiceMaster by Angler. This union brings together over six decades of combined restoration expertise under the leadership of three industry veterans: Josh Kijanko, Geoff Ganz, and Mark Gerken.
Our Leadership
Our founders share a common commitment: to serve families and businesses throughout the Metro East Illinois area during their most challenging moments with integrity, expertise, and compassion.
Josh Kijanko brings more than 20 years of ServiceMaster Restore experience, having built ServiceMaster St. Charles into a model of operational excellence and customer care. His leadership philosophy centers on authentic relationships, strategic growth, and empowering teams to deliver exceptional results.
Geoff Ganz contributes 14 years with ServiceMaster by Angler and over 30 years in the restoration industry. With more than 20 industry certifications, Geoff has helped thousands of Metro East property owners recover from disasters. His dedication to intentional service and commercial restoration expertise strengthens our ability to handle projects of any scale throughout St. Clair County, Madison County, and beyond.
Mark Gerken adds nearly a decade of ServiceMaster experience and a proven track record of scaling service businesses.
