Knight Commercial

What Knight Commercial does

Knight Commercial is a US-based commercial restoration, construction, and roofing services provider founded in 2001 and headquartered in Addison, Texas. The company operates three integrated service divisions: Restoration (24/7 emergency response for flood, fire, mold, biohazard, and structural damage with HAZWOPER-certified technicians and advanced drying/desiccant/environmental stabilization equipment); Construction (design-build, interior finish-out, renovation, construction management, and new construction across concrete-tilt, masonry, wood frame, ICF, and pre-engineered metal building methods); and Roofing (repairs, reroofing, temporary roofing, and roof asset management across TPO/PVC, EPDM, built-up, modified bitumen, and metal standing-seam systems). Knight is licensed for construction in 47 states, roofing in 40 states, and biohazard cleanup in 49 states, supported by 13+ strategically positioned branch offices across major US metros.

The business model is project-based professional services: revenue is generated through quote-driven contracts sized by scope of damage, facility type, and service requirements, with pricing not publicly disclosed and adjusted in coordination with insurance adjusters and carriers. The go-to-market emphasizes direct customer engagement via a 24/7 emergency hotline (877-965-8200), website contact forms, and on-site service delivery, supplemented by partnerships with insurance carriers and facility management firms (including named references Crawford GTS and C&W Services). Knight serves two primary customer segments — commercial property owners/managers and insurance carriers/adjusters — with secondary exposure to commercial construction buyers and multifamily roofing clients.

Knight Commercial is privately held and backed by OMERS Private Equity (North American Buyout platform). In January 2026, the company appointed Joel Wiegert — former CEO of Artera Services and Dayco LLC — as Chief Executive Officer, succeeding co-founders Adam McKelvey and Peter Tredennick who transitioned to board roles. Headcount is reported in the 101-250 range with active hiring across 15+ US cities.

Direct peers

• BELFOR Property Restoration: The largest global commercial and residential restoration company, offering fire, water, mold, and storm response plus reconstruction. Directly comparable to Knight's restoration line and a key competitor on national carrier panels.
• ServiceMaster Restore: National restoration franchise network covering water, fire, and mold remediation with strong insurance-carrier relationships. Closest scaled competitor to Knight's restoration and reconstruction model in the U.S. market.
• Paul Davis Restoration: Franchise-based restoration and reconstruction firm serving both residential and commercial clients with insurance-driven work. Comparable in operating model (multi-service, insurance coordination) to Knight's commercial restoration business.
• Cotton Holdings: PE-backed national provider of restoration, disaster recovery, and construction services with strong catastrophe-response capabilities. Highly comparable as a PE-sponsored, multi-service national restoration platform competing for the same carrier and adjuster relationships.
• Servpro Industries: Largest U.S. property restoration franchise network, predominantly residential but with significant commercial and CAT-event work. Comparable to Knight on national reach, insurance-driven demand, and rapid-response positioning.
• BMS CAT (Blackmon Mooring & Barton ITC): National commercial-focused restoration and reconstruction firm with deep insurance-carrier ties across the U.S. Direct competitor for large commercial-loss claims similar to Knight's enterprise and CAT-event pipeline.
• PuroClean: Franchise restoration network specializing in commercial and residential water, fire, mold, and biohazard cleanup. Comparable to Knight on restoration service mix, insurance relationships, and rapid-response positioning.
