How to Choose a Restoration Business That Stands Apart

If you're an entrepreneur looking to make a difference in your community, then perhaps starting your own restoration business is for you. That’s because in addition to providing you with flexible work hours, the ability to control your own earning potential, and the opportunity to establish a legacy family business, a restoration business positions you to provide a much needed service in your community. In essence, restoration businesses are there for customers when they need them most — whether it’s after a natural disaster, fire, or severe weather event. In addition, owning a remediation business can also prove to be lucrative.  In fact, the remodeling market alone from natural disasters, flooding, or fire damage accounts for over $100 billion each year. With an industry of this magnitude, it’s easy to see how owning a restoration and remediation franchise offers entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to earn a handsome income. One critical aspect of owning a successful restoration business relies on making your business stand out from your competitors. From best marketing practices to professional training, leveraging the advantages of an established, highly professional restoration business will help ensure your short- and long-term success. Let’s take a look at a brief overview of how to choose a restoration business that stands apart:

To franchise or start from scratch?

When starting a restoration business, you essentially have two options: You can start your business from the ground up or you can purchase a franchise. There are benefits to both approaches, so the decision should be based on your individual situation. Buying a franchise can get your business up and running faster, but it may require a larger upfront investment. In most cases, investing in owning a franchised restoration business will provide some key benefits. Remember earlier how we talked about the importance of best marketing practices as a way to stand out from competitors? This is one of the primary advantages of purchasing a remediation and restoration franchise.

AdvantaClean® is an excellent example of a professional restoration company that puts a priority on branding and marketing as a way to differentiate itself from its competitors. Aa a leading name in the remediation and restoration industry, AdvantaClean provides many services including moisture control, radon removal sanitizing, mold removal and remediation, water and fire damage & clean up so homeowners can recover quickly and return to a normal lifestyle as soon as possible.

Additionally, they also provide hands-on training and digital marketing tactics and best practices so that you can market at the local level to help increase your customer reach and build a robust online presence.

Professional training makes all the difference.

While impactful branding and marketing communicate the advantages your restoration business might have over your competitors, you still need to have the proper training to back up your marketing efforts while on the job. Because technology is constantly evolving in the remediation and restoration industry, staying current with the latest products and having access to professional training is paramount to success. Again, with AdvantaClean, you can rest assured they have you covered.
