Dry Kings Restoration

What Dry Kings Restoration does

Dry Kings Restoration is a California-based, family-owned building restoration contractor providing emergency disaster recovery services to residential and commercial property owners across the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Novato with three additional offices in San Francisco, San Jose, and Walnut Creek, the company delivers water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, smoke and odor removal, mold remediation, sanitization, emergency board-up, packout, equipment rental, and specialized lead abatement services — handling the full lifecycle from initial 24/7/365 emergency dispatch through final reconstruction. Operational stack includes advanced moisture mapping technology for hidden-water detection, Matterport 3D scanning for insurance documentation, thermal fogging/ozone/hydroxyl generators and HEPA filtration for smoke and odor remediation, and EPA-approved ULV fogging for disinfection, supported by IICRC, OSHA, CSLB, and BBB credentials.

The company operates on a project-based professional services revenue model, with pricing determined per engagement based on damage scope and complexity, supplemented by equipment rentals and customer financing options for uninsured losses. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer, driven by a prominent 24/7 emergency phone line, a network of over 100 location-specific SEO pages targeting Bay Area cities and counties, an extensive educational blog, and referral relationships with insurance carriers and adjusters who direct policyholder claims to the firm. Over 1,500 restorations have been completed to date.

In August 2025, Dry Kings joined Alpine Investors' Guardian Restoration Partners platform as a founding partner alongside DryLux and Midwest Restoration, a structure designed to deploy PE capital into the fragmented U.S. disaster restoration market and provide operational and staffing resources for accelerated growth while preserving the founding brand's identity and customer relationships.
