Building and maintaining trust is the most fundamental aspect of the restoration industry and something we take very seriously at Proguard Restoration. It is the cornerstone of our success as a company. With over 35 years of experience in the restoration industry, our team has the experience and skill set you can put trust into. Our office is located in Sanford, the Gateway City to South Florida. We draw our name, Proguard Restoration, from the history of our beloved city.
Florida was acquired by the United States from Spain in 1821, but the Seminole Wars would delay settlement. In 1835, the Seminoles burned the port of Palatka on the St. Johns River, at the time, the major artery into Central Florida from the East Coast. Consequently, an army garrison was established upstream, on the southern side of Lake Monroe near a trading post. This army garrison was named Camp Monroe. The garrison was attacked on February 8, 1837 and suffered one American casualty. It would be restored and renamed Fort Mellon in honor of Captain Charles Mellon, the sole American casualty of the attack.
The town of Mellonville was founded around Fort Mellon in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. In 1870, “General” Henry Shelton Sanford bought 12,500 acres to the west of Mellonville and laid out the community of Sanford. Believing it would become a transportation hub, he called it “The Gateway City to South Florida.” Incorporated in 1877 with a population of 100, Sanford was born. Sanford later absorbed Mellonville in 1883.
Fort Melon was founded to guard our governments investment into Florida, we were also founded to professionally guard an investment.
