Frontier Restoration

What Frontier Restoration does

Frontier Restoration is a privately held, locally owned property damage restoration contractor headquartered in Shawnee, Kansas, serving the Kansas City metropolitan area since its founding in 2013 by Greg Marsden and Doug Day. The company provides water damage mitigation, fire damage restoration, mold remediation, full structural reconstruction, biohazard cleanup, air duct cleaning, and carpet cleaning to residential homeowners as its primary customer segment, with secondary commercial work across offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and educational facilities. Technical operations are built on IICRC-certified protocols (WRT and ASD), thermal imaging, non-penetrating and penetrating moisture detection, LGR dehumidifiers, HEPA air scrubbers, and high-velocity air movers, with a Class A General Contractor license enabling end-to-end project lifecycle management from initial emergency response through final reconstruction.

The business operates on project-based professional-services pricing with no publicly disclosed rate cards, and a substantial share of revenue is reimbursement-driven through homeowners insurance claims processed via direct adjuster coordination. Go-to-market combines a 24/7 emergency phone line as the primary bottom-of-funnel channel with content marketing (educational blog, Google Business Profile), organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and preferred-vendor referrals from insurance carriers. Distribution is entirely direct field service within a four-county KC footprint, with no franchise, reseller, or external investment structure in place.

The team comprises roughly 17 individuals across co-founders, general and operations management, marketing, project management, project estimating, mitigation direction, and field technicians, with a layered management structure that has formalized marketing and mitigation functions beyond owner-operator capacity. The company is not publicly listed, has no parent company, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates as a single-market independent services business with regulatory certifications (IICRC, Class A General Contractor) serving as the primary structural barriers in its market.
