ACR

What ACR does

ACR Companies (formerly AccuChem), founded in 1991 and headquartered in Mansfield, Texas, is a privately-held commercial disaster recovery and specialty cleaning services provider. The company serves enterprise and commercial clients across more than 20 U.S. states through a network of 1,400+ Authorized Service Providers (ASPs) operating from 1,076 points of presence with a one-hour emergency response capability. Its core offerings span emergency restoration (water damage, fire/smoke, mold/contamination, storm damage), specialty cleaning (carpet, hard surface flooring, HVAC ductwork, upholstery, textiles), and full-scope reconstruction services. The company deploys proprietary, capital-intensive equipment — including trailer-mounted desiccant drying units, portable emergency generators, temporary vital utilities, and advanced air filtration systems — and organizes its work around the four phases of emergency management (prevention, response, recovery, mitigation). In 2023, ACR served 813 commercial clients and cleaned 80 million square feet of carpet, reporting a 98% customer satisfaction rate since inception.

The business operates on a professional services model combining project-based fees for restoration and construction engagements with recurring revenue from structured service agreements (Master Service Agreements, Service Level Agreements, Memoranda of Understanding, and Emergency Response Programs). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers targeting property managers, healthcare facilities, large retail chains, hospitality operators, manufacturing sites, municipal/government entities, and critical infrastructure owners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per project under pre-established contractual frameworks. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise account management for anchor relationships plus an ASP partner program that recruits independent licensed providers with guaranteed monthly cash flow, dedicated account managers, equipment discounts, and access to ACR marketing plans — extending geographic reach without proportional corporate headcount.

ACR is led by CEO Carey Wood with divisional presidents Javier delAngel (Restoration) and Jesse McDonald (Cleaning), CFO Monte Sturgeon, Operations Director Kevin Karl, and Sales & Marketing Director Norm Perkins. The company has remained privately-held for its entire 30+ year history with no disclosed external funding, institutional investment, parent-subsidiary relationship, or M&A activity. There is no evidence of SaaS, AI/ML, or platform technology layers; the moat is built on physical asset density, contractual stickiness, and a distributed service-provider network rather than proprietary software.

Scale indicators8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Servpro Industries: Servpro is the largest U.S. disaster restoration and cleaning franchise network with national commercial and residential coverage. ACR competes for the same enterprise property restoration, water/fire/mold mitigation, and specialty cleaning work, but Servpro's brand recognition and franchise scale dwarf ACR's network.
• ServiceMaster Restore: ServiceMaster Restore (part of ServiceMaster Brands alongside ServiceMaster Clean) provides commercial and residential disaster restoration, cleaning, and reconstruction nationally. It competes directly with ACR's restoration and cleaning franchise-equivalent services and benefits from the broader ServiceMaster brand portfolio.

Direct peers

• BELFOR Property Restoration: BELFOR is the global market leader in commercial disaster recovery and reconstruction with operations across the U.S. It directly competes for ACR's commercial water, fire, smoke, and storm-damage restoration book at major enterprise and industrial accounts, and offers the same restoration-through-rebuild vertical integration ACR emphasizes.
• PuroClean: PuroClean is a national franchise network providing commercial and residential property damage restoration, including water, fire, mold, and biohazard cleanup. It overlaps with ACR across commercial mitigation services and competes for many of the same property-management and retail accounts.
• First Onsite Property Restoration: First Onsite is a North American commercial-focused restoration and reconstruction provider offering water, fire, mold, and storm response plus rebuild services. It directly competes with ACR's national enterprise model, particularly for multi-site property management, retail, and healthcare accounts.
• BMS CAT: BMS CAT specializes in commercial disaster restoration, content restoration, and reconstruction for retail, healthcare, hospitality, and industrial clients. Its emphasis on large commercial accounts and pack-out/content restoration overlaps tightly with ACR's commercial mitigation and recovery offering.
• Paul Davis Restoration: Paul Davis is a national franchise network for property damage restoration, emergency mitigation, and reconstruction. It is one of the closest direct peers to ACR in terms of commercial focus, services offered, and use of a distributed network/franchise model across North America.
• Rainbow International Restoration: Rainbow International (a Neighborly brand) is a national restoration franchise specializing in water, fire, and mold remediation plus specialty cleaning. Its commercial accounts and franchise structure place it in close competition with ACR, especially in multi-site property management.
• Cotton Global Disaster Solutions: Cotton Global Disaster Solutions is a large commercial disaster recovery and logistics/restoration provider serving enterprise and government clients. It overlaps with ACR's critical infrastructure, government, and large retail restoration focus, including pack-out, contents restoration, and reconstruction.

Others

• Stanley Steemer: Stanley Steemer is one of the largest U.S. commercial and residential carpet, hard-surface, and air duct cleaning operators. It is comparable to ACR's specialty cleaning division for carpet, hard surface, upholstery, and air duct services across multi-site commercial accounts.
