Like Father Like Son

              The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Like father like son. Monkey see monkey do. There are a million sayings that you can say when referring to a son acting like his father. Mike Johnston was the owner of SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress and SERVPRO of Champions 1960 for a long time. He has performed many water restoration and fire restoration jobs throughout his life. Working under him as a helper was his son Chris Johnston.

              When Chris, who is now the owner, was in high school he bought his own car. To pay for this car he worked at SERVPRO of Champions 1960 under his father. Performing hands on water restoration and fire restoration jobs. As Chris said “I knew I wanted the car but I didn’t think about the cost of gas!” So throughout high school Chris paid his gas bills and car bills by being a restoration technician.

              After College Chris came back to Houston, TX to take over the family business so his father could retire. SERVPRO of Katy/Cypress and Champions 1960 is truly a family owned and family operated business; second-generation business. Chris cares about this business almost as much as he cares about his clients.
