Damage control

What Damage control does

Damage Control, operating under DBAs DC Restoration and DC Damage Control, is a regional property damage restoration and general contracting firm headquartered in Mesa, Arizona. Founded in 2002 by Gary Goodman, the company provides 24/7 emergency response and full-service restoration for residential and commercial properties affected by water, fire, mold, asbestos, and biohazard events. It operates six service lines — emergency services, water damage mitigation, mold and asbestos abatement, fire damage restoration, cleanup (biohazard, trauma, crime scene), and structural repairs/general contracting — delivered through on-site crews dispatched from five offices across Arizona (Mesa, Tucson, Prescott) and Texas (Austin, San Antonio).

The revenue model is project-based professional services: pricing is quoted per incident, work is performed on a one-time basis, and revenue is generated from mitigation, remediation, and reconstruction engagements. Distribution relies on a 24/7 emergency phone line (888-266-6030) as the primary acquisition channel, supplemented by a website contact form, insurance carrier referrals (USAA and Farmers are referenced in testimonials), and word-of-mouth. The company coordinates directly with insurance carriers on behalf of policyholders, embedding itself in the claims workflow. It holds Arizona Registrar of Contractors licenses (194543, 237464, 274688) and employs 101-250 staff including IICRC-certified technicians.

There is no proprietary technology platform or disclosed AI capability; operations rely on industry-standard restoration equipment for moisture detection, drying, and decontamination. Ownership is closely held, with founder Gary Goodman and his son Griffin Goodman both serving in CFO roles, alongside long-time partner/estimator Derec Bradshaw. The company has not raised external capital, made disclosed acquisitions, or moved outside the Southwest region. Its competitive position rests on certified technical staff, regional office density, and established insurance-carrier referral relationships rather than technology differentiation.
