Restoration Specialties Franchise Group, Home of ERS and ART, Restructures

Industry News
July 27, 2020

Restoration Specialties Franchise Group (RSFG) is pleased to announce Chris Ring as President & CEO of the organization. Although Chris has been at the helm for the past two years as president, the addition of the CEO responsibilities marks a significant moment in the company’s evolution.               

The RSFG family of specialty restoration brands will pivot and separate from their long-time home in Livonia, Michigan, which is where Electronic Restoration Services (ERS) was born. The Restoration Specialties headquarters team is currently searching for a new home in Michigan in order to better manage the brands from a national level.

Chris Ring expressed that the past retirement of founder Lee Capatina and this final organizational change “position the company to meet its vision to be the expert of choice for specialty restoration. Our contractor and carrier customers need a company with long term dedication to specialty contents
for their residential and commercial customers, from coast to coast. And we are here to fill that need.”

Restoration Specialties manages four specialty restoration brands. In addition to ERS, they oversee Art Recovery Technologies (ART), Document Restoration Services (DFD), and the soon to be launched Textile brand (TEX).

The Livonia, Michigan, company-owned franchise remains strong and viable under the leadership of Leo Gusfa. This franchise handles losses in all specialty categories for southeast Michigan and greater Toledo as well as maintains a large loss team that handles Commercial and CAT events. Leo Gusfa shared “I am so pleased to continue to work with Chris as he expands his leadership role and positions RSFG into the future.”

Restoration Specialties Franchise Group (RSFG) is a national leader in specialty restoration. Their locations across the U.S. restore and recover electronics, art, and documents for residential and commercial claims. They deliver fast, effective, worry-free solutions to customers whose belongings and equipment have been compromised. The expert teams respond 24/7/365 to restore everything to preloss condition with a one-year warranty on most items.

RSFG's portfolio of brands includes Electronic Restorations Services (ERS), Art Recovery Technologies (ART) and Document Restoration Services (DFD) and Textile Extraction Xperts (TEX).
