Restoration Specialists

What Restoration Specialists does

Restoration Specialists is a privately held, owner-operated restoration and remediation services company headquartered in Columbus, New Jersey, serving the Philadelphia and South Jersey market across Burlington County, the Delaware Valley, and surrounding Pennsylvania and New Jersey municipalities. Founded in 2017 by Steven Yeretzian, the company delivers water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, mold remediation, storm and flood damage restoration, and biohazard cleanup, supplemented by reconstruction, content restoration, board-up and tarping, carpet cleaning, and disinfecting services. Its technology stack is composed of conventional restoration equipment, including industrial water extraction units, air movers, dehumidifiers, moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and HEPA-filtration air scrubbers, combined with IICRC-, ABRA-, and OSHA-aligned work protocols rather than any proprietary software or AI systems.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer and field-service model, dispatching IICRC-certified crews to customer properties on a 24/7 emergency basis. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-priced service fees for emergency mitigation and restoration work, most of which is funded via homeowners or commercial insurance claims, with the company assisting policyholders through documentation and Xactimate billing. Customer acquisition relies on local SEO targeting city-specific service areas, a Google Business Profile (4.9/5 from 110+ reviews), word-of-mouth referrals, and insurance-carrier preferred-vendor relationships; a Restoration Renegades network listing broadens inbound lead flow. The customer base spans residential homeowners (the primary segment) and a diversified commercial book across property management, automotive rental, healthcare, nonprofit, and horticulture end-markets.

Operationally, the company runs a lean single-site structure with cross-state licensing in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania, background-checked field staff, and a dedicated commercial-services vertical serving healthcare, education, government, hospitality, and retail facilities. There is no parent company, no institutional funding, and no disclosed headcount, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-led operating model. The combined positioning — multi-state licensing, multi-discipline certifications, 24/7 emergency response, and integrated mitigation-through-reconstruction capability — supports the company's positioning as a full-service regional restoration contractor rather than a specialist or a national platform.
