J.C. Restoration Makes Crain’s List of Chicago’s Biggest Minority-Owned Businesses

JC Restoration
December 3, 2021

J.C. Restoration, Inc. (JCR) has earned a spot on Crain’s 2021 list of Chicago’s biggest minority-owned businesses, ranking at number 25, based on 2020 revenue.

Headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Ill., and a 100% Hispanic/Latino-owned company, J.C. Restoration employs over 100 people and experienced 18.2% revenue growth from 2019 to 2020. JCR is proud to be a certified minority business enterprise (MBE) and rank on this list, after starting out in 1982 with just a garage full of equipment, a handful of hardworking laborers, and raw determination.

“It is a true honor to be ranked among Crain’s 2021 list of Chicago’s biggest minority-owned businesses, especially after a very difficult 2020 for many companies. We work very hard to achieve growth every single year, and this is wonderful validation for not only our entire staff, but for our Hispanic/Latino ownership and my family legacy” president Warner Cruz stated, “J.C. Restoration works very hard to do right by our customers in the area of disaster restoration. To be recognized here at home in Chicago is very rewarding.”

Crain's list of Chicago's biggest minority-owned businesses features 52 minority-owned companies with 2020 revenue over $2 million. The full list includes additional information on employment headcounts, majority owners, revenue growth percentages, and the specific minority group(s) of ownership. Five new companies made it to the top 25, and three of those five are Asian-owned. Crain’s also reported that 2020 was a breakout year for minority-owned financial firms.
