Restoration 1 of Tampa Bay

What Restoration 1 of Tampa Bay does

Restoration 1 of Tampa Bay is a locally owned franchise location within the Restoration 1 network, which operates as America's largest independent restoration company with 250 locations nationwide under parent entity Restoration 1 Franchise Holding LLC, headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The franchise is part of Stellar Service Brands and provides 24/7 emergency property restoration services across three core categories: water damage restoration (extraction, drying, structural repair for burst pipes, flooding, sewage, and storm damage), fire damage restoration (smoke/soot removal, deodorization, board-up, reconstruction), and mold remediation (containment, removal, air quality restoration). All technicians operate to IICRC-certified standards, and the franchise differentiates through rapid mobilization (typically within an hour of a logged call), insurance-claims coordination with major carriers, and contents pack-out/storage capabilities.

The business model is built on three revenue streams: (1) project-based professional services revenue billed directly to property owners and insurance carriers through emergency response and restoration work; (2) franchise fees and royalties collected by the parent network from independent franchise operators like the Tampa Bay location; and (3) financing facilitation revenue via partnerships with Regions Bank and Wisetack that enable customers to spread costs over time. Go-to-market combines top-of-funnel content marketing and social media, bottom-of-funnel referral partnerships with plumbers, insurance agents, and property managers, and a National Accounts Program for multi-location commercial clients. The Tampa Bay franchise primarily serves residential homeowners and commercial property managers in the Tampa Bay area, with secondary relationships through insurance carrier preferred-vendor networks.

Operationally, Restoration 1 has invested in franchisee enablement through a June 2024 strategic partnership with KnowHow, an AI-powered mobile-first training and operational how-to app offering IICRC-standard content in 12 languages. Pricing is quote-based, varying by damage severity and project scope, with free initial inspections and financing options offered at select locations. The company has no disclosed revenue, headcount, or financial metrics for the Tampa Bay franchise in the source materials, and no institutional investment or PE backing details are provided.

Direct peers

• Paul Davis Restoration: Franchise-based residential and commercial restoration company offering water, fire, and mold remediation with a similar insurance-partner and emergency-response GTM motion. Directly comparable franchise unit economics and customer profile.
• Rainbow Restoration (Neighborly): Franchise restoration brand owned by Neighborly (same parent portfolio as Mr. Rooter, Mr. Handyman) offering water, fire, and mold restoration across the U.S. Directly comparable franchise model with cross-brand referral synergy that Restoration 1 lacks at the portfolio level.
• PuroClean: Franchise restoration network (~350+ locations) providing water damage, fire, mold, and biohazard cleanup services to residential and commercial clients. Competes directly with Restoration 1 on franchise recruitment, local market share, and insurance referral pipelines.
• ServPro: The largest U.S. property restoration franchise network (~2,000+ franchises), offering the same water, fire, and mold restoration services to residential and commercial customers through a franchise model and national-account relationships with insurance carriers. Direct head-to-head competitor in nearly every Restoration 1 market.

Broad incumbents

• 911 Restoration: Franchise restoration brand focused on water, fire, and mold with strong emphasis on emergency response and customer experience marketing. Overlaps significantly with Restoration 1 on residential GTM and insurance referral flow.

Others

• CoreLogic (insurance data & restoration workflows): Not a direct restoration competitor, but a key ecosystem participant — providing property data, claims analytics, and workflow tools used by insurance carriers and restoration contractors (including networks like Restoration 1) to triage and price restoration jobs.
