Restoration & Remediation

What Restoration & Remediation does

Restoration & Remediation is a B2B trade media publication serving the restoration and remediation industry, operated as a brand under BNP Media, Inc., a fourth-generation, family-run media company headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan and founded in 1926. The publication covers water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, contents restoration, catastrophe response, cleaning and sanitation, contamination remediation, HVAC, indoor air quality, and adjacent business management topics for restoration contractors, franchise networks, insurance adjusters, and IICRC training candidates across North America.

The product portfolio centers on a flagship print magazine and digital website (randrmagonline.com), a weekly email newsletter, the Ask the Expert podcast distributed on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, a multi-format video slate (TradeTalks, Ask Annissa, Tech Tip Tuesday, Marketing Monday), on-demand webinars, the KnowHow Library educational hub, an online Buyer's Guide directory, and a print/digital reference product (The Cleaning, Restoration, Inspection, and Safety Glossary, $89.95). In 2026, R&R added Ask R&R AI, an NLP-powered Q&A assistant on the publication site. The Experience Convention and Trade Show, held annually in Las Vegas, anchors the in-person component and is described as the largest cleaning and restoration industry event.

Revenue is generated across five streams: paid magazine subscriptions (pricing not publicly disclosed), advertising and sponsorships (including native sponsored content placements from partners such as Cotality and Violand Management Associates), exhibitor and registration revenue from The Experience Convention, one-time product sales such as the Glossary, and webinar sponsorship/registration fees. The publication operates without external institutional ownership as part of BNP Media's broader trade-media portfolio, with corporate functions (finance, marketing, creative, production, events) shared at the parent level.
