Skip the year-plus it takes to win insurance referral work by taking over a Houston restoration business that already has it.

The business restores properties after water, fire, and mold damage, with water damage making up most of the work. It also sells and manages the rebuild, using partner contractors for the reconstruction, so a customer gets one company from the emergency cleanup through the finished repairs.

Jobs come in through established referral relationships with major insurance companies and third-party administrators (TPAs), so the pipeline does not depend on heavy marketing. Revenue is growing, and the business serves one of Houston's high-income areas, where jobs tend to run larger and higher value. Restoration is an essential, recession-resilient service, and buying this business costs less than opening a new franchise and building a referral network, a reputation, and a trained team from zero.

Highlights include:

- 89 five-star Google reviews accumulated over 6 years in business
- Backed by one of the top 4 restoration brands in the U.S., well known in Houston
- Newly leased, larger facility with room to add contents packout work
- Trained team of 4 and franchise operating systems already in place
- 6 to 8 week franchisor training, no restoration experience required
- Seller financing possible for a qualified buyer

This is not an absentee investment. It fits a hands-on owner ready to step into the field project manager role and move the office assistant to part time, or a husband-and-wife team that can run the office as well, and either path lowers payroll.
