Renascent

What Renascent does

Renascent Inc. is a privately held, family-owned commercial and industrial demolition contractor founded in 1982 and incorporated in Indiana in 2004. The company provides six integrated service lines — structural demolition, selective demolition, explosive demolition (controlled implosion), recycling and recovery, abatement and remediation of hazardous materials, and demolition consulting — serving enterprise customers across healthcare, higher education, transportation infrastructure, sports venues, power plants and industrial facilities, and commercial and hospitality buildings. Documented project work includes the $11M GM Warren Transmission Facility demolition, the $10.6M Gainbridge Fieldhouse arena renovation, the $9.8M Sheraton Atlanta Airport implosion, the $6.5M University of Virginia implosion, and healthcare and airport projects across multiple states.

The company operates with 300+ employees, a fleet of 250+ owned equipment pieces, and an Experience Modification Rating of 0.82, which signals a below-average safety incident profile. Renascent distinguishes itself with an industry-leading 98% typical recycling and landfill-diversion rate, 3D modeling for pre-planning complex explosive demolition, and certified abatement/remediation capabilities for asbestos, lead, mercury, PCBs, and biohazards. The firm is a WBENC-certified woman-owned business (CEO Linda Campbell) and holds NDA and CDRA industry memberships, with affiliated sister companies CW Waste Services and CW Recycling providing vertically integrated waste handling and material processing. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting facility owners, general contractors, and government entities on project sizes ranging from $1.6M to $11M+, with offices in Indianapolis (HQ), Nashville, Royal Oak MI, and Washington D.C., and project reach across 13 states.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price and cost-plus project contracts with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers; the company self-reports $100M in annual sales. Marketing combines project case studies, social content, and a NASCAR Xfinity sponsorship with driver Ryan Ellis (2022-2024 seasons) as a B2B brand platform with track-side customer engagement. Renascent has not raised external equity funding and is privately held within the Campbell family ownership structure.
