Helping disaster victims to recover in the wake of tragedy is an essential community service. We maintain a firm resolve to provide the best customer service possible, offering integrity, honesty, and dependability around the clock to the communities we serve. And after 14 years, we continue to serve as a dominant, positive force throughout the restoration industry. Although disaster relief is a core part of what we do, we also make ourselves available for any type of unexpected structural emergency, including fundamental structural issues that can arise from aging systems and construction problems. Our business not only demonstrates economic resilience, but it’s also highly scalable, offers a low cost of entry, and delivers attractive gross and net profit margins. Initially, franchise owners operate out of a small industrial office space with a limited number of employees, as well as standardized vehicle and equipment packages.

Semi-Absentee Ownership (Optional): UWRG Owners don’t need to do any of the technical work themselves and instead can simply hire a GM and small team of IICRC certified technicians, offering Franchise Owners greater flexibility and more time to focus on growth. Well-Suited for Multi-Unit Ownership: 62% of our system is composed of multi-unit Owners (with one Owner running 10 territories!). UWRG offers large, protected territories and an affordable investment that makes it easier to expand into multiple areas. 2:5 Brand Support Ratio: We have 10 dedicated franchise support employees for a system of 25 Franchise Owners. This ratio is almost unheard of in a franchise brand and represents unmatched brand support! We go above and beyond, helping Owners to hire employees, as well as providing new employee training services at our corporate office. During extreme weather events, we can also turn our corporate HQ into a dedicated call center. A High Demand Essential Business: UWRG offers essential services for all economies and geographic locations. And when we are not working to rebuild following natural disasters (which are increasing in frequency), we are working tirelessly to restore structures facing the typical array of infrastructure problems. A Great Opportunity for Owners at All Experience Levels: Owning a UWRG franchise is most ideal for entrepreneurs who already own and operate another service business, since UWRG ownership will complement existing relationships with contacts.
