Downs Construction Expands to Nanaimo, BC, Strengthening Vancouver Island Service Coverage

Nanaimo, BC (Mar. 6, 2025) – Downs Construction, a proud partner with The Pro-Claim Group, is excited to announce the opening of its new office in Nanaimo, BC. This strategic expansion enables Downs Construction to extend its trusted restoration services to more residents across Vancouver Island, building on the strong foundation it has established in Victoria and Duncan.

At the heart of Downs Construction’s success is its dedicated team, who bring expertise, compassion, and a relentless commitment to helping others in need. Their passion for restoring not just properties but also peace of mind has defined Downs Construction’s reputation in the industry.

“We’re excited to expand our office to Nanaimo,” said Rod Absolon, General Manager of Downs Construction. “We’ve seen the positive impact our work has had in the Greater Victoria area, and we’re eager to ensure that more people up island receive the best possible experience. No one likes dealing with a flood or a fire in their home or business, and we know we’re pretty good at making the best out of a terrible situation. Our goal is simple: we just want to help people when they need it most.”

With a relentless focus on excellence, Downs Construction has earned a reputation for going beyond the standard restoration process. While many companies focus solely on repairs, Downs takes a more thoughtful approach—prioritizing solutions that minimize waste, reduce disruption, and restore properties efficiently and sustainably. This commitment to doing what’s best for both homeowners and the environment is what truly sets Downs Construction apart.

Beyond restoration, Downs Construction has always prioritized community engagement. The new Nanaimo office will not only provide top-tier restoration services but will also invest in the local community—hiring local talent, partnering with regional suppliers, and supporting initiatives that strengthen the neighborhoods it serves. Most recently, Downs Construction sponsored a Buddy Bench for the community at a local elementary school.

Tony Scott, CEO of The Pro-Claim Group, shared his enthusiasm for Downs Construction’s continued success and expansion, stating, “Downs Construction’s growth is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our people, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see our team extend its impact across Vancouver Island. What sets Downs apart is more than just technical expertise—it’s the way they approach restoration with care, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. This expansion into Nanaimo is a natural next step as we continue to raise the bar in our industry. Our focus has always been on delivering not just high-quality service, but on redefining what people should expect from a restoration company—one that leads with integrity, sustainability, and genuine compassion. I have every confidence that with the dedication of our team and the support of our clients, Downs Construction will keep making a positive difference where it matters most—both in people’s lives and in the communities we serve.”

The new Nanaimo office is now open, ready to deliver the same high-quality restoration services that have made Downs Construction a household name on Vancouver Island.
