Restoration Business Advisors, a firm dedicated exclusively to the restoration and remediation sector, has a deep-rooted mission to help business owners build stronger companies and position them for successful exits that command premium valuations.

Founded by Paul Williams, with partner Mike Ovens, Restoration Business Advisors combines decades of experience from two highly complementary perspectives. Williams brings more than 15 years of investment banking, mergers & acquisitions, and strategic advisory expertise, having executed billions of dollars in complex transactions in restoration and across numerous other industries. Ovens contributes decades of hands-on operational leadership in restoration, having built businesses from the ground up, served in senior leadership roles, and led as an owner in the industry.

Together, the firm leverages this complementary expertise to provide highly customized services that address the unique nuances of the restoration industry. Supported by a deep bench of M&A and industry professionals, Restoration Business Advisors delivers results that redefine what owners should expect from an advisor.

Restoration Business Advisors provides services including:

  • Sell-Side M&A Advisory – Running controlled, competitive sale processes that maximize outcomes for restoration owners.
  • Buy-Side Advisory – Guiding investors and strategic acquirers in sourcing, evaluating, and acquiring restoration businesses.
  • Valuation Services – Delivering market-driven, restoration-focused valuations grounded in the unique and nuanced market dynamics of the restoration industry.
  • Strategic Growth & Value Optimization – Partnering with owners to strengthen operations, improve profitability, and position businesses for future premium exits.

“We understand how the market values restoration businesses, we speak to owners and in-market buyers every day, and we know what actually drives performance in the field,” said Williams. “That combination gives our clients a significant advantage in building value and preparing for an eventual sale.”

Ovens added: “Restoration owners want an advisor who understands their business inside and out. We’ve lived it, from jobsite challenges to complex financial negotiations. We bring both worlds together to get results for our clients.”

With an exclusive focus on the restoration industry, Restoration Business Advisors works with clients across the U.S., helping them strengthen operations, maximize value, and navigate competitive sale processes with confidence.
