OUR STORY

Who We Are

Atlas Contracting Group was built after more than twenty years in the field. We are a Florida-licensed general contractor serving the Orlando metro area, working both insurance restoration and retail remodeling. We handle the insurance side by documenting the loss and working with the carrier, and we manage the entire job under one contract.

Rather than having one person try to handle sales, estimating, scheduling, construction, and customer communication, our process assigns defined responsibilities throughout the project: a field consultant and detailed written proposal at the front end, a dedicated project manager once construction begins, professional permitting and inspection coordination, and — for insurance work — Xactimate estimating and direct carrier communication.

Who You'll Work With

Wesley Shortt, Owner
Wesley Shortt
Owner

Wesley brings more than 20 years of experience in construction, restoration, and insurance-related property repairs, plus eight years as a Master-at-Arms in the U.S. Navy. He built his restoration career from the ground up, starting in mitigation before developing deep expertise in insurance restoration and working directly with carriers and adjusters. At Atlas, Wesley leads business development, with a focus on clear communication and accountability from first call to final walkthrough.

Business Development Manager

At Atlas, Gio leads the sales and production sides of the business. That means he oversees both ends of the customer experience, the first conversation and the finished work which is deliberate. When the person who sells the job is the same person accountable for delivering it, promises tend to match reality. He also serves as a field inspector and report author, personally documenting property conditions and authoring the reconstruction scopes the company submits to carriers and adjusters.

Yes. Atlas is a Florida-licensed general contractor, CGC1529417, and carries insurance for the work we perform.

Rather than one person juggling sales, estimating, scheduling, and construction, we assign defined responsibilities across the project — a field consultant and written proposal up front, then a dedicated project manager through completion.
