Our Mission & Values

Empower restoration contractors to embrace innovative technology by making it simple and accessible

Innovation

We encourage trying new approaches. If they work, we've done something awesome! If we've failed, we learn from it!

Growth

We want to create a network through which we can all grow personally and professionally together.

Integrity

As a company, we strive to maintain honesty and transparency with our customers, our partners, and others.

Social Responsibility

We believe in being cognizant of the impacts we may have in our market and take responsibility over this.

Curiosity

We encourage each and every team member to ask "what if?" and to openly collaborate with one another.

There is a story behind our unique name, which may help you understand who we are and what motivates us! In essence, it is all about family and business, and the two are one and the same.

What Does "Albi" Mean?

restoration project manager

A lot of clients and prospects ask “Why Albi?”. Albi is a name very dear to us here with a lot of meaning. When they were coming up with the name of their new venture, Shamoil and Alex were looking for a female futuristic name to incorporate with their future AI mission.

As they were bouncing around names, Albi stuck out to them. 2 years ago, Alex made a promise to the mother of his soulmate in a letter while she was on her death bed that he would take care of her daughter, protect her, and be there for her.

“Alby” was her nickname. She was innovative – the only one out of 7 sisters that took the initiative to get her driver’s license. She raised her three children alone, was passionate about what she did, and loved helping people. She was a firm believer in social responsibility and helping others.

The name still lives with us today – we need more people in the world like her. Albi is an innovative product as a restoration project manager; it listens to employees’ behaviors and reports on that. Albi will be the first product with advanced AI in the restoration industry. Albi is a product created by a passion for change.

In addition to their daily 9 to 5 jobs, both founders have spent sleepless nights creating something new. Both founders have a history of passion within the restoration and software industries. They harbor a passion for meaningful change. Here at Albi, we believe in social responsibility. We put the well-being of our clients, employees, and vendors before our profits.
