In Its First Year on the Franchise 500, This Restoration Services Company Shows Impressive Growth Best Option Restoration makes a splash on a very competitive franchise list this year.

Water damage remediation. Structural drying. Mold remediation. Damage re-construction. Debris removal. You name it, when it comes to disaster restoration, the team at Best Option Restoration knows what they're doing. And it shows. Since the company started franchising in 2018, the brand today has grown to include nearly 70 franchises across the U.S.—up an impressive 240% over the last three years.

That's what powered this young brand onto the annual Franchise 500 ranking this year (#483 overall), scoring in the top 15% in size and growth. "This is the most recession-resistant industry in the franchise space," says Kyle Chiasson, President of Best Option Restoration. "There's never a question of whether there will be work—pipes will burst, mold will grow, and fires will unfortunately happen. These incidents occur daily on streets across America, driving demand in a $250+ billion industry."

With an initial investment of $186,000 to $230,000, Best Option Restoration says franchisees can benefit from exclusive territories, low overhead, and a solid business model. But what really sets the brand apart from others in the industry is its thermal technology, Chiasson says.

"Our proprietary systems enhance the ability to dry structures in half the time of any other system, saving franchisees valuable time and labor costs on every job," he says. "This technology also ensures clients see their property restored to pre-loss condition faster than anyone else in the market, giving us a distinct competitive advantage."

Committed to smart growth

New Best Option Restoration franchisees all receive 40 hours of classroom training, 15 hours of on-the-job training, as well as many levels of ongoing support. Additionally, the company this year partnered with several national networks to support franchisees' overall growth and help them save money on consumables through major retailer discounts, Chiasson says.

That's not the only big change that franchisees are excited about. The brand added asbestos abatement to its lineup of services and upgraded its software systems at no additional cost to franchisees. "These updates streamline everything about their business operations, making it even easier for franchisees to succeed and grow in our system," Chiasson says.

"Our management team in this company are true BIZ Experiencess who are experts in building thriving companies," he continues. "The home restoration industry is a sector that isn't going anywhere, and Best Option Restoration is leading the charge."
