Professional Impact

Eleanor Terlecki has built her career in the restoration industry, beginning in Texas in 2018. After spending three years with a competing company, she joined PuroClean, where she gained another year and a half of valuable experience before making the move to Maine to open her own business. Through her dedication, industry knowledge, and commitment to helping others succeed, Eleanor has established herself as both a business owner and a trusted resource within the PuroClean network. Her impact extends beyond her own business, as she regularly supports fellow owners across the country by helping them navigate company programs, strengthen their understanding of the industry, and find ways to grow. In 2026, her contributions were recognized with the Rainmaker Award at the PuroClean convention, a peer-nominated honor celebrating her willingness to share knowledge and make a difference throughout the organization.

Personal Passions

Outside of work, Eleanor enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their two cats. She also has a passion for attending Renaissance festivals, where she loves experiencing the creativity, history, costumes, and unique atmosphere that make each event special. Whether exploring a festival or enjoying a relaxing day at home, she values making time for the people and experiences she enjoys most.

Love for Androscoggin

Eleanor enjoys discovering the local businesses, entertainment, and activities that make the Lewiston-Auburn area a great place to live and work. She recommends Great Falls Comedy Club for a fun Friday or Saturday evening filled with laughs, Orphan Annie’s for exploring unique vintage finds, and El Rodeo for a satisfying meal. From local entertainment and one-of-a-kind shopping to neighborhood dining, Eleanor appreciates the variety of experiences the community has to offer and encourages others to get out and explore local favorites.
