Restore STL is a St. Louis real estate investment team restoring neighborhoods one home at a time.

Our Story

Kevin Dairaghi, Founder of Restore STL

Kevin Dairaghi started his career as an engineer before moving into construction in 2005, where he rehabbed his first home for an investor. He saw firsthand how restoring one property could change an entire block. That conviction grew into Restore STL — a team of local investors, contractors, and real estate professionals who buy distressed houses so owners can move forward and neighborhoods can come back to life.

Today, Restore STL focuses on South St. Louis neighborhoods including Dutchtown, Bevo Mill, Marine Villa, and Carondelet. We work with homeowners facing tough situations — inherited properties, costly repairs, sudden life changes — and provide honest, straightforward solutions. No pressure, no fees, no runaround.

“I started flipping houses because I wanted to restore neighborhoods. What I realized is that what I was actually rehabbing was myself.”

— Kevin Dairaghi, Founder
