Meet the Leadership Team

JAMES ILARDI, CEO & Founder

Bi James has long been an outspoken advocate for accountability and integrity in the water intrusion and reconstruction industry. He demonstrates this passion by providing creative reconstruction protocols for challenging projects, accomplishing them within or under budget. His expertise has contained costs for clients and benefited them in the areas of construction defect identification and resolution across the Southeast.
 
In 2006, James served as Chairman of the Florida Coalition on Healthy Indoor Environments, leading a joint effort among national IAQ organizations to pass a Florida law protecting the indoor environmental rights of the general public. This law required remediation companies to have proper experience, certification, and carry insurance.

BARBARA ILARDI, Accounting Director

Barbara oversees our accounting department and manages vendor/insurance accountability, lien, and payout procedures.
 
Originally from the Chicago area, Barbara holds an AA in Paralegal Studies and worked in the legal field for 13 years. She’s been a business owner for more than 20 years, and is passionate about a natural approach to health and nutrition, as well as volunteer work.

We recently had TRUE Engelmeier Roofing replace the roofs on the Church and two of our buildings and repair the roof on another building at St. Stephen Catholic Community here in Winter Springs, FL. They have been very professional, helpful and engaged in the entire process and gone above what they contracted for to do the job correctly. They kept us informed of the process the entire time and everyone we worked with was professional, respectful and communicative to ensure we were satisfied with the work they were doing. Any issues that came up were addressed right away. We met with the CEO Jim Ilardi and account manager Geoff Kendrick often during the process, who went out of their way to accommodate our needs and ensure we were satisfied. I am happy to provide a reference for them at any time.

Director of Facilities
St. Stephen Catholic Church
Winter Springs, FL

As a management company, the replacement of the roofs on 23 townhouse buildings and a clubhouse, was an extraordinary task. Needless to say it took the total cooperation and endless follow-up from a reputable roofing company. True was always willing and able to work with both the management company and the anxious homeowners to insure they were replaced quickly and accurately with as little inconvenience to the homeowners as possible. Thank you True Engelmeier Roofing!
