Why 911 Restoration?
Franchisees can launch quickly as home-based business, supported by a 24/7 national call center and an in-house marketing engine that handles lead generation and digital advertising.
The brand offers a turnkey system featuring proprietary Gazingle CRM technology to manage field operations and comprehensive training through "911 Restoration University." With SBA approval, significant veteran discounts, and a proven track record of helping owners scale to multi-million dollar territories, 911 Restoration combines high-margin technical services with a compassionate, people-first culture.
Ideal Candidate
Essential Core Skills
Leadership & People Management: You will be hiring, training, and motivating a crew of technicians. Success depends on your ability to lead a team that performs high-quality work under high-stress conditions.
Empathy & Communication: Since you are dealing with people during one of the worst days of their lives (fires, floods), the ability to be a "calm in the storm" is critical. You must gain the trust of distraught property owners quickly.
Sales & Relationship Building: A large part of the business involves networking with local insurance adjusters, property managers, and real estate agents to build a referral pipeline.
Problem-Solving: Restoration jobs are unpredictable. You need to be able to think on your feet when structural or environmental issues arise mid-project.
Ideal Background
While "all walks of life" are welcome, the most successful owners often come from:
Military or First Responders: The disciplined, systematic approach to emergencies makes veterans and former first responders an ideal fit for the 911 Restoration model.
Corporate Executives & Managers: Those who understand P&L statements, operational efficiency, and high-level strategy often scale their territories faster.
Existing Contractors: Many "Conversion Franchisees" are already in the home service industry (plumbers, HVAC, general contractors) and want to add the high-margin restoration revenue stream.
Sales & Business Development: Individuals who aren't afraid to go out into the community and "hunt" for new commercial accounts.

Testimonials
Chris P. – Reno, Nevada
Chris joined the system with zero prior experience in property restoration, having previously owned a small window cleaning company. He is one of the brand's most notable success stories, scaling his business to an astounding $10 million in annual revenue.
"If I can do it, anyone can. It’s about choosing the right system and putting in the work. We've had clients cry and hug us because we showed up when no one else would. That's when you realize this is bigger than business—it's about people."
Dan – Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania
Dan frequently speaks about the importance of the diversified lead sources the corporate office provides, which allowed him to focus on local growth rather than just "chasing" jobs.
"Relying on just one source of leads is risky. [With 911 Restoration], you have online lead generation, national accounts, and local business development working together to create a steady flow of jobs and long-term success."
