What public records show for food service in Calais
Past emergency
Calais and DR-4764
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4764, severe storms and flooding, on March 20, 2024 for Washington County, which includes Calais, for an incident that began January 9, 2024. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Washington County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Calais stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Washington County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Rogers Point Road – Road and embankment washout, undermining" (roads and bridges, about $801,000) in Washington County after DR-4764, a severe storm declared March 20, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Calais
A kitchen renovation in Calais usually means new hoods, walk-ins, or floors, and weeks without cooking. A temporary kitchen trailer, booked early, covers that gap.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Calais
Maine is in FEMA Region 1, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Washington County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Maine is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Calais would travel I-95 and local routes, as it would for nearby Eastport and Washington County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Calais
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Calais's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose an assisted living community's kitchen in Calais schedules a 4-month renovation, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-95 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 4-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,540 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
