Buy a Best Option Restoration Franchise

Best Option Restoration (B.O.R.) is a property disaster-restoration franchise serving homeowners and businesses affected by water, fire, mold, sewage and storm damage. Technicians work to return damaged properties to “pre-loss” condition under IICRC S500 industry standards, and the franchisor bills insurance companies directly to simplify the customer side of each job.

Founded in 2016 and franchising since 2018, the brand is based in the Denver area of Colorado and has grown to a nationwide network of locations across much of the United States. It runs a home-based, low-overhead model rather than a brick-and-mortar storefront, with franchisees operating protected territories that the franchisor positions as among the largest in the restoration category.

The business is project-based and insurance-driven, combining emergency mitigation with restoration and repair work. An “administrative backbone” system handles insurance billing and bookkeeping, while a custom technology platform manages scheduling, billing and job tracking, leaving owners free to focus on operations and local growth.

Why buy a Best Option Restoration Franchise?

Restoration is a needs-based category that holds up well across economic cycles: water, fire and storm damage occur regardless of the wider economy, and most work is funded through insurance claims rather than discretionary household spending. That gives a B.O.R. resale a degree of demand stability many consumer franchises lack.

To buy a Best Option Restoration franchise is to step into an established brand with a home-based, low-overhead structure that keeps fixed costs down, protected territories that limit internal competition, and multiple revenue lines spanning water, fire, mold and reconstruction work. The administrative backbone system and direct insurance billing remove much of the paperwork independent restoration operators handle alone, and incoming owners inherit recognised certification standards and a national support team rather than building credibility from scratch.

Best Option Restoration – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New owners complete initial training at the Colorado headquarters: 40 hours of classroom instruction plus 15 hours of on-the-job training, including water-damage restoration technician certification to IICRC S500 standards. Ongoing support runs through live webinars, conference calls and online programs, a franchisee intranet, marketing programs across digital, print and referral, and operations manuals, with a custom technology platform for job scheduling and customer billing. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and platform access B.O.R. provides to incoming owners and existing crew.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits a hands-on local operator comfortable leading field crews, coordinating subcontractors and managing the urgency of emergency call-outs. Restoration experience is not required, as training covers technical certification, but owners should be sales-minded and relationship-driven: building referral ties with insurance adjusters, plumbers, agents and property managers drives much of the work. Strong project-management, customer-service and organisational skills matter, as does a willingness to be on call and respond quickly when damage strikes.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Best Option Restoration was named to USA Today's "Top Businesses of 2025" list and has ranked on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 in both 2025 and 2026, also appearing on the magazine's 2025 Fastest-Growing Franchises list. It has been recognised as a FranServe Fran-tastic franchise in 2025 and 2026, aligns its technicians with IICRC S500 certification, and carries strong HomeAdvisor service ratings. For resale buyers, this recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral network and standing with insurers.

  4. Industry / Market

    Demand for disaster restoration is driven by an aging US housing stock, frequent severe-weather events and the high incidence of water damage, with industry sources estimating thousands of US households suffer a water emergency every day. The North American disaster-restoration services market was valued at roughly $15 billion in 2023, with the United States accounting for the large majority, and a record run of billion-dollar US weather disasters has kept demand elevated. Because most work is insurance-funded and non-discretionary, the category tends to stay resilient through downturns.
