RESTORATION CONTRACTING SERVICES, INC.

What RESTORATION CONTRACTING SERVICES, INC. does

Restoration Contracting Services, Inc. (RCS) is a family-owned disaster restoration and environmental mitigation contractor headquartered in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area (New Kensington mailing address, Pittsburgh service designation) and operating since 1999. The company delivers a unified suite of seven service lines covering the full property-damage and indoor-environmental-risk lifecycle: water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, and wind damage restoration, complemented by radon testing and mitigation, mold inspection and remediation, indoor air quality system installation (including EZ Breathe ventilation and UVC hardware), and crawl space encapsulation. Service delivery is field-based across four southwestern Pennsylvania counties (Allegheny, Butler, Indiana, and Westmoreland), with 24/7 emergency phone response and on-site estimates rather than remote quotes.

The company's technology stack is industry-standard rather than proprietary: IICRC-certified applied structural drying techniques, EPA Lead-Safe and PA Radon credentials, radon mitigation system design and installation, and Xactimate (Verisk) computer estimating software that aligns pricing with insurance adjuster rates. Equipment consists of conventional moisture meters, air movers, dehumidifiers, and ventilation hardware. The business model is professional services billing for one-time mitigation and remediation engagements, with the majority of restoration revenue flowing through insurance claims processed at standardized industry rates and radon/crawl-space work billed directly to consumers (with consumer financing available via MoreHouse Finance).

RCS serves a fragmented base of residential homeowners as the primary segment, plus commercial property owners, and operates a referral-driven go-to-market in which local plumbers, realtors, and insurance agencies function as informal channel partners. The leadership team is concentrated within the founding Bonura family (Mike Bonura Sr. as Owner/President, Michael Bonura Jr. as Radon Specialist, Penny Bonura as Office Manager) and is supported by roughly 10 total staff including IICRC-certified field technicians, an estimator, and customer-service roles. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity.
