The Famco Story

For more than four decades Famco has been providing the finest in metal and stone restoration services.

The company was founded by Mel Smith whose business philosophy was both simple and profound: There is a right way to do everything, and the right way is the only way.

That tradition continues with the acquisition of Famco by Able. Able and Famco's pursuit of excellence and refusal to compromise continue to set the standard in the industry. Famco's meticulous attention to detail, proprietary training methods and state-of-the-art business practices — including its specialized vitrification process for stone cleaning — along with its versatile team of master craftsmen, have made Famco an industry innovator.

Famco has provided restoration services to the following landmarks: The Egyptian Museum, The Clift Hotel, The Old Federal Reserve Bank, the Embarcadero Center, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, The Department of Public Health S.F., The Alameda County Courthouse, The Juno, Alaska Post Office, The Deanza Hotel, Bank of America World Headquarters and Ghirardelli Square, to name a few.

Famco's customer-oriented philosophy is evident in the dedication of its employees and loyalty of its customers, many of whom have been with the company since its inception.

For 42 years, Famco has provided services to more than 10,000 satisfied customers. And now, with its recent merger with Able Services, will continue to expand nationwide.
