Hays + Sons

What Hays + Sons does

Hays + Sons is a privately-held, veteran-owned property disaster restoration company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in 1982, the company provides emergency restoration services to residential, commercial, multifamily, municipal, and healthcare property owners across Indiana, western Ohio, and northern Kentucky through eight physical office locations and a marketed 24/7 response window of one to two hours. It claims status as the largest restoration firm in Indiana and has completed more than 40,000 restorations over its operating history.

The company's service portfolio spans six integrated lines—water removal and mitigation, mold remediation, personal property restoration, board-up, fire and smoke cleaning and rebuild, and storm repair—delivered through a standardized Respond-Evaluate-Estimate-Restore process. Field operations rely on certified technicians (Water Restoration, Mold Remediation, and Smoke & Odor Remediation), infrared cameras for moisture detection, and Matterport 3D modeling for damage documentation. A dedicated Contents Restoration facility provides climate-controlled warehousing, ozone odor treatment, electronics repair, and artwork restoration. Roofing services are offered under an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor partnership that brings access to manufacturer warranty programs.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-driven professional services model, with published pricing tiers ranging from roughly $450 for minor water damage to $20,000+ for severe incidents, and total-loss reconstruction billed at full structural rebuild value. Customer acquisition combines SEO-driven digital presence, a 30+ article educational blog, 24/7 emergency phone intake, online service request forms, and bottom-of-funnel insurance routing via approved-vendor status with networks such as Sedgwick's direct repair program. All projects carry a two-year warranty and full insurance coordination through structural reconstruction, positioning the firm as a single point of accountability from mitigation to rebuild.
