L5 Restoration is a Holyoke property restoration and remodeling contractor founded by Altavise Chinn, who in a December 2024 feature in the Bay State Banner was named the first Black woman-owned restoration business in Massachusetts. The company says it handles interior and exterior restoration, painting, flooring, deck repair, remodeling and historic preservation, with a team it says carries more than 20 years of combined experience in the trade. On Angi, the business is listed as five years old, with a narrower service list there covering assembly, home organizing, painting and wallpaper work. A newer name in the property restoration space with a lot of press around its founder's story — worth asking to see recent project photos and references directly when you reach out.
“As the first Black woman-owned restoration business in the Commonwealth, Altavise Chinn is on a mission to restore the world — one building at a time.”
