History

The company began as Quality Awning & Construction in 1946, which became Haniel EnviroServices by 1980. All of Haniel EnviroServices' restoration operations were eventually consolidated in 1998 under the BELFOR name.

In 2011, Belfor's CEO Sheldon Yellen was featured in CBS's primetime show Undercover Boss.
