Aeret Restoration

What Aeret Restoration does

Aeret Restoration, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned property restoration and reconstruction company headquartered in Southwest Florida, founded in 2017 and operating across Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Marco Island, Sarasota, and Tampa. The company provides a unified suite of IICRC-certified services — water damage restoration (S500), mold remediation (S520), fire & smoke restoration (FSRT, OCT), storm and hurricane response, and in-house general-contractor reconstruction — delivered under a single-accountability model from initial mitigation through final close-out. Operations are supported by an owned, GPS-tracked fleet of 2,000+ high-capacity dehumidifiers and air movers pre-staged for 60-minute response across the region, with FLIR thermal imaging and moisture mapping as core forensic diagnostics and Xactimate-compatible documentation for insurance carrier alignment.

Aeret serves two primary segments: luxury residential homeowners (Port Royal estates, waterfront properties, gated communities) requiring discreet, finish-preserving emergency response, and enterprise property professionals in hospitality, condo/HOA, healthcare, office, retail, and education segments who engage through formal MSAs and two proprietary retainer programs — CARE™ (post-construction readiness and priority-response partnership for occupied portfolios) and SAFEGUARD™ (construction-phase risk protection embedded into the building lifecycle). Marquee reference accounts include Naples Grande Beach Resort (450+ rooms restored 12 days post-Hurricane Ian with a 75-person team), Margaritaville Beach Resort (145 personnel mobilized), Horizon's at Bonita Bay (multi-area renovations up to $1.2M), and Port Royal estates. Revenue is generated through one-time project-based emergency restoration and reconstruction work (event-driven, insurance-aligned billing via Xactimate) combined with recurring retainer fees from CARE™ and SAFEGUARD™ programs. The company is led by CEO Ken Brown (nearly 30 years of restoration experience) and VP Kenny Brown, with no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership.

Revenue model

1. Emergency Restoration & Remediation Services: One-time project-based fees for water mitigation, mold remediation, fire & smoke restoration, and storm damage response — billed per scope of work with direct insurance carrier coordination. Revenue is event-driven, generated when property losses occur.
2. Reconstruction Services: In-house general contracting for post-mitigation rebuild — structural repairs, drywall, flooring, millwork, cabinetry, roofing, and finish carpentry. Billed per project scope under a single contract, coordinated with insurance carriers via Xactimate.
3. CARE Program Retainer: Tailored retainer-based service agreements for occupied buildings — providing priority response, dedicated point of contact, building surveys, pre-loss documentation, site preparation, and continuing education. Structured at the asset, portfolio, or ownership level with consolidated billing.
4. SAFEGUARD Program Retainer: Tailored retainer-based construction risk protection program embedded in the construction lifecycle — covering readiness engineering, rapid stabilization, precision mitigation, and project continuity. Pre-negotiated unit pricing and defined response SLAs structured under MSA agreements.

Broad incumbents

• Servpro Industries: Largest US restoration franchise network offering water, fire, mold, and storm damage services across 2,000+ territories. Overlaps directly with AERET's core service lines but operates through a franchise model with national brand and carrier-network scale rather than a single locally-owned regional operator.
• BELFOR Property Restoration: Global leader in disaster recovery and property restoration with commercial-scale catastrophic event response. Comparable in water/fire/mold/storm services and large-loss mobilization, though BELFOR's geographic breadth and commercial-industrial mix differ from AERET's luxury residential concentration.
• First Onsite Property Restoration: Large North American restoration and reconstruction company serving commercial, healthcare, hospitality, and residential customers. Comparable in full-service mitigation-plus-reconstruction delivery at multi-region scale.
• ServiceMaster Restore (ServiceMaster Brands): Long-established national restoration brand within the ServiceMaster portfolio, providing water, fire, smoke, and mold restoration plus reconstruction services. Comparable core offering with significantly larger brand and franchise network.

Direct peers

• Paul Davis Restoration: National franchise network providing water, fire, mold, and storm restoration plus reconstruction services to residential and commercial customers. Closely comparable full-service restoration-plus-reconstruction offering; competes for similar property owner accounts though with a franchise-driven rather than locally-owned model.
• PuroClean: National franchise system focused on property damage restoration (water, fire, mold, biohazard) with a strong residential and small-commercial orientation. Direct comparable in service mix and target customer profile to AERET's homeowner-facing restoration work.
• BluSky Restoration Contractors: National commercial-focused restoration firm with significant presence in healthcare, hospitality, and multifamily sectors. Closely comparable to AERET's hospitality, healthcare, and condo/HOA verticals and the SAFEGUARD-style pre-loss program positioning.
• Cotton Global Disaster Solutions: Commercial and large-loss restoration specialist with strong catastrophic-event response capabilities. Comparable to AERET in hurricane and large-engagement mobilization (similar to the Naples Grande and Margaritaville scope), with a broader geographic footprint.
• All Dry Services: Growing franchise restoration brand offering water, mold, fire, and biohazard services to residential and commercial customers. Direct service-line overlap with AERET, with a comparable franchise-versus-independent competitive dynamic against local operators.

Regional players

• GDI (Greenland Disaster & Infrastructure): Southeast US-focused disaster recovery and reconstruction firm with strong Florida presence in hurricane response. Direct comparable in geography and large-loss mobilization capabilities, though broader in public-sector and infrastructure work than AERET's luxury focus.
