CRDN Ranked #1 for Sales Growth in Disaster Restoration for Third Time in Four Years, Named to 2026 Franchise Times Top 400 List

CRDN, an international franchise of industry-leading contents restoration specialists, has been ranked the #1 franchise for sales growth in the Disaster Restoration category of Franchise Times magazine’s 2026 Top 400 list, outpacing category peers including SERVPRO, Paul Davis Restoration, and ServiceMaster Restore. The recognition marks the third time in the last four years that CRDN has led the category in sales growth. 

CRDN experienced total global sales growth of 18.4% in 2025 over 2024, nearly five times the 3.7% average growth across all franchises in the Disaster Restoration category during the same timeframe. 

CRDN also was named one of the Top 400 global franchise chains, ranking 208th in 2026, up from 219th in 2025, and climbing from 320th just five years prior in 2021. Franchise Times uses total global sales across all franchise units for the prior calendar year to determine their yearly ranking. The CRDN franchise network reported $277 million in total global sales for calendar year 2025, up over 76% from $157 million in calendar year 2022. 

In response, CRDN CEO, Wayne M. Wudyka, said, “Expanding CRDN’s services from specialty contents restoration for textiles, electronics and art into a full contents restoration solution for home and business owners has turbocharged our franchise network and it’s exactly what our carrier partners have been asking for. Our growth has been impressive, yet we’re still in the ramp-up phase. CRDN franchisees are expanding their operations and adding staff like we’ve never seen, so I’m very excited for what is still to come.” 

“Insurance carriers are increasingly in search of contents restoration service providers who can handle the entire process following a fire or water disaster, instead of piecemealing out the home or business owner’s possessions to three and four different vendors. Consolidating a complicated process into a single vendor is a win-win for the insurer and the policyholder, and CRDN is uniquely positioned to offer this benefit as the only network of its kind with true nationwide coverage in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.” 

 

CRDN is an international organization of highly trained contents restoration specialists who provide insurance restoration services for personal and commercial insurance carriers and other end user clients.  

Organized and launched in 2001, CRDN has created a model of restoration specialists by aggregating under one brand with standardized systems, a service that previously didn’t exist to serve the growing category of insurance claims, providing inventory, pack-out, cleaning, storage, and delivery services as a complete disaster restoration solution for all contents. 

CRDN’s national claim assignment call center can be reached 24/7 at 800-963-CRDN (2736) or users may submit claim referrals online at crdn.com.
