City of Galveston Disaster Recovery - Round 1

Hurricane Ike made landfall in Texas in September 2008 and left behind severe damage to the island of Galveston. To help rebuild the community, funds were granted to the City of Galveston to complete needed housing repairs. Round 1 of the City of Galveston disaster recovery program included both reconstruction and rehabilitation projects. Unfortunately, multiple General Contractors were not able to finish the work provided to them. DSW was given the opportunity to help turn the program around. Although awarded some new assignments, most of the work received came in the form of “takeovers” from other contractors who weren’t able to finish their scopes of work.
