Ironclad Restoration Marketing works exclusively with restoration companies, it's all we do, and it's why we're good at it. Restoration isn't like other industries. Demand spikes with hurricanes, storms, and floods, then turns on a dime for the everyday losses; black mold, dishwasher leaks, fire damage. Winning that work means showing up at the exact moment a property owner is searching, and that's what we build our clients to do.
It's also why restoration contractors across the country look to us as a leading voice in the space. Ironclad was founded in 2015 by Ben Ricciardi and John “JC” Cariaso, and in the years since, Ben has authored multiple books on Restoration Marketing and launched the nationally syndicated “Restoration Rundown Podcast”, while our team has produced over 400 YouTube videos. It all adds up to one thing: hard-won insight that keeps our clients ahead of their competition. When you work with Ironclad, you're not getting a generalist agency dabbling in restoration. You're getting the team that helps set the standard for it.

Ben is the founder and CEO of Ironclad Restoration Marketing, a digital marketing agency based in South Florida that has worked exclusively with restoration companies since 2015.
Ben also owns and operates Ironclad Engineering, a civil site development contractor — so when he talks about the day-to-day reality of running a home services or contracting business, he's speaking from firsthand experience, not just marketing theory.
Ben is the author of The SOME BS Guide to Internet Marketing for Restoration Contractors — a standalone follow-up to his original No BS Guide — a regular contributor to industry publications including R&R Magazine and C&R Magazine, and hosts The Restoration Rundown Podcast. He also hosts the Ironclad Marketing Minute, featured in R&R Magazine.
Ben is a Christian, husband, and father of three. Faith and family come first for him, and that same commitment — showing up, doing right by people, and building something built to last — is what he brings to Ironclad and its clients every day. Outside of work, he trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and spends time with his family in South Florida.

JC brings over 20 years of digital marketing experience to his role as Chief Operating Officer of Ironclad Restoration Marketing — including work with global brands like Ferrari, Puma, Columbia Sportswear, and Sony Music.
As COO, JC oversees daily operations across every department — sales, business development, account management, project management, and production — keeping execution sharp for every client on the roster.
For the past 10+ years, JC has focused specifically on the restoration industry, working with everything from national franchises to independent operators across the United States. That blend of big-brand marketing chops and deep restoration-specific experience is what keeps Ironclad's delivery consistent at every level.
