Crescent Restoration has a long family history in the fabric care business. In 1974 Merrill Jacobs founded Sycamore Cleaners, but the family business history goes back farther, to 1930, when Merrill’s father started in the fabric cleaning industry as Model Cleaners in Memphis, Tennessee. The family business continued, as Merrill ran the successful company until 1991, when his son, Russ Jacobs, purchased the company and renamed it Crescent Clceaners. Originally started as an over-the-counter dry cleaner, as the company grew when it added fire damage cleaning to its list of services. By 2001, the company exclusively started specializing in fire restoration services. And with that, one final name change to Crescent Restoration. Serving Tennessee, Eastern Arkansas and Northern Mississippi, Crescent Restoration is the only company in the mid-south specializing in the restoration of fabrics damaged by fire, soot, smoke odor, water and mold. Crescent Restoration’s equipment, technologies and services make the company a leader in their market.
