Starting a Restoration Business

Start a Business That Restores People’s Homes and Lives

The structural and emotional damage can be devastating for homeowners who have experienced a fire or flood. Unfortunately, these events are an inevitable part of life requiring the services of skilled professionals who can help restore people’s homes and lives.

If you simply consider the increasing trends of natural disasters, you can sense the widespread need for restoration services. According to Restoration & Remediation Online, our country had experienced the following events in 2020 alone:

• 13 hurricanes
• 30 tropical storms (record high)
• 31 tropical depressions (tied for the record)
• Wildfires in at least eight states
• A drought
• Three tornado outbreaks

Research firm IBS World predicts a strong forecast for the industry in its 2021 January report.

Discover what a career in restoration and remediation services can mean for your future and see how franchise ownership with Rainbow Restoration® can be your path to professional success.

Why The Restoration Industry?

A History of Consistent Growth and a Lush Future

Being a business owner can be extremely rewarding, both professionally and personally, and this can be especially true in the property restoration industry. Natural and accidental disasters are inevitable, and there's ongoing opportunity to help people by starting a water and fire restoration business.

As noted in a recent article on industry trends found on Restoration and Remediation online, the restoration business is compelling for several reasons, including:

• Restoration is vital and needed regardless of economic or social influences.
• The health of the indoor environment is becoming more essential.
• Outside people, companies, and equity firms are realizing restoration is a great, long-term industry.
• Restorers are uniquely suited to diagnose, triage, and treat very challenging and unusual situations on a micro and macro level.

And research firm, IBIS World, notes the strong demand for restoration services.

Owning and managing a disaster restoration business requires commitment and hard work, but it can be personally and professionally fulfilling. You help people through the most challenging times of their lives – the aftermath of a hurricane, a flood, a fire.

Rainbow Restoration franchise owners are prepared for mostly emergency-based work; they expect to start with hands-on management and grow into executive ownership. And they know they're supported along the way.

The core requirements for owning a franchise location (beyond the investment) are integrity, a big heart, and eagerness to succeed. If this sounds like you, let's take the next step.

The Value of Neighborly

A Family of Top Franchises

Rainbow Restoration is proud to be a part of Neighborly, which is a community of independently owned and operated franchise businesses focused on repairing, maintaining, and enhancing properties. We began as Dwyer Group 40+ years ago, launching with a single home services brand. Today, we’re the world’s largest home services franchisor of 19 brands and nearly 5,000 franchises collectively serving 10 million+ customers across nine countries.

Though Neighborly is a large franchise system, our culture is close-knit with a family business atmosphere.

We attribute our continued growth to this culture, and to teaching and upholding our company's values.
