Texas-Based First Call Restoration Acquired by BELFOR

Industry News
December 13, 2016

BELFOR Property Restoration (BELFOR) has just announced the acquisition of San Antonio, Texas-based First Call Restoration. The Texas office will provide services to the San Antonio community, including Bexar, Comal, and Kendall counties.

“Whether through a strategic acquisition such as this one or through organic growth, BELFOR prides itself in collecting the most talented and passionate people in the industry,” said Sheldon Yellen, CEO of BELFOR Holdings, Inc., the parent company of BELFOR Property Restoration. “We are thrilled Patrick and the First Call team will be joining BELFOR to better provide for our customers in their time of need.”

First Call Restoration was acquired by BELFOR as a strategic expansion into the San Antonio market. The First Call Restoration team brings a strong foundation in service, compassion and empathy for each and every customer, along with years of experience in repairing and restoring residential and commercial damage from water, fire and smoke, mold and biohazardous materials. The acquisition gains BELFOR foothold in the San Antonio community and will enable the utilization of resources from nearby BELFOR offices in the event of a large weather or regional catastrophe.

“It is with great excitement that we join the BELFOR family and continue to serve our friends, family, and community,” said Patrick McGrath, General Manager for BELFOR San Antonio. “BELFOR was a natural fit because of the equal importance they place on integrity, loyalty and commitment, to both their employees and their customers.”

BELFOR Texas also has offices in Austin, Belton, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and Waco. From seasonal perils such as foundation separation caused by extreme heat to volatile weather patterns bringing unexpected tornadoes or hail storms, BELFOR will respond 24/7 to provide single-source restoration services.

BELFOR’s Texas offices have received numerous local honors from Contractor Connection, an industry leader in contractor managed repair services. National awards include the number one ranking for 16 consecutive years in Qualified Remodeler Magazine’s “Top 500 Award” and the Restoration Industry Association’s most prestigious award, the “Phoenix Award.”

For more information or to contact the BELFOR Property Restoration San Antonio office, please call 210-399-3315.
