Paul Davis Restoration Inc. (PDR) concluded 2024 with 29 new territories awarded, 23 in the US and 6 in Canada bringing its current total of locations to 356. The company is planning for another stellar year of growth in 2025 highlighting its continued dominance and innovation in the restoration sector of franchising. 

PDR is increasingly adopting sustainable materials and processes, such as biodegradable cleaning agents and energy-efficient equipment, to meet the growing demand for environmentally conscious services.

With the rise in natural disasters, there is a growing focus on pre-disaster planning, risk evaluations, and emergency response services. To that point PDR became a $1 million sponsor of The American Red Cross in 2024 and continues to support the charity with Blood Drives, installation of smoke alarms, and participation in other important joint initiatives. 

Among PDR’s recent achievements is its staggering jump on the venerable Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise500® to the position of No. 65 out of 500 for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

"Our franchise development efforts this year reflect a commitment not only to growth, but to the enthusiasm of many of our strong franchisees who are acquiring more territories and opening new markets,” said Rich Wilson, President, and CEO of Paul Davis Restoration.

In addition to growth achievements PDR is known for its state-of-the-art training facility in Jacksonville Florida, which is recognized as the best and most advanced facility of its kind. Training focuses on a series of hands-on modules, each demonstrating advanced mitigation, restoration and contents cleaning methods using the latest equipment and advanced technology. Training takes place in two large theater-style classrooms with state-of-the-art audiovisual systems.

The center reflects the vision of the award-winning Leslie Anderson, Senior Vice President of Training & Launch for PDR. Anderson is also on the Executive Committee of The IICRC, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification. It's a non-profit organization that provides certifications and sets standards for professionals in the cleaning, inspection, and restoration industries.

“We have all the best team members in place to continue to climb to the top of the restoration industry,” concludes Wilson.
