01 — Industry Overview

Why Buy a Restoration?

From the Restoration Industry Deep Dive — Issue #006

The U.S. restoration market hit $7.1 billion in 2025 (IBISWorld) with forward growth accelerating to 5.3-5.8% CAGR (Mordor Intelligence) as climate disasters surge 35% since the 1990s. Water damage drives 50% of revenue, fire/smoke 43%, with average claims of $12,500 and $83,500 respectively (Insurance Information Institute). PE has deployed $6B+ across 50+ platforms since 2018, with exits like HighGround (13 acquisitions in 5 years to Knox Lane) and American Restoration (8-brand roll-up to Morgan Stanley) proving the playbook. Quality operators with $5M+ revenue and diversified service mix command 4x-7x EBITDA vs. sub-$2M shops stuck at 2.8-3.0x SDE. Labor shortages (500K+ skilled workers needed), insurance carrier withdrawals, and margin compression threaten smaller players while platforms scale through tech, training, and carrier partnerships.
