Global Restoration

What Global Restoration does

Global Restoration is a privately held restoration services firm headquartered in Jasper, Georgia, founded circa 1991/1993 and operating across North Georgia including Pickens County and the Atlanta Metro area. The company provides emergency and post-disaster restoration across four core service lines — water damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and storm damage — supported by full reconstruction, roofing, emergency roof tarping, tree removal, and crime scene/biohazard cleanup. Service delivery is built on IICRC-certified technicians with additional specialty credentials (ICRA for healthcare, HAZWOPER and Bloodborne Pathogens for biohazard work), and is executed through a 24/7 emergency phone line with field dispatch.

The technology stack is services-oriented rather than software-oriented: Injectidry wall-cavity and floor drying systems enable non-invasive structural drying, Odorox technology addresses odor and bacteria in smoke and mold remediation, Matterport 3D digital twin scanning documents pre-restoration conditions, and Xactimate estimating software aligns claims documentation with insurance industry standards. These tools are integrated into the workflow rather than sold as products; the company's moat is operational craft, certifications, and insurance-channel credibility rather than proprietary software.

The business model is primarily project-based professional services revenue — quote-driven fees for mitigation and reconstruction, with insurance carriers reimbursing covered losses and customers paying deductibles upfront under a 40/40/20 milestone payment schedule. A secondary recurring revenue layer comes from the Emergency Response Program, an annual commercial membership offering priority response, disaster planning, Matterport documentation, and preferred pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, anchored by the emergency phone line, website contact forms, insurance adjuster coordination, and word-of-mouth referrals, with no retail or e-commerce channels. The company is independently owned by Jonathan Schooler with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or parent company.
