Buy a COIT Cleaning and Restoration Services Franchise

COIT Cleaning and Restoration Services is a family-owned specialty cleaning and restoration franchise founded in 1950 in San Francisco. Named for the landmark COIT Tower near its original location, the brand has spent more than seven decades building a reputation across residential and commercial cleaning and post-disaster recovery.

The brand operates across three business segments: routine cleaning services covering carpet, upholstery, drapery, and air duct cleaning; surface restoration work on stone and hardwood floors; and emergency restoration following water, fire, or related damage. This service breadth lets franchisees serve both homeowners and commercial property managers across recurring and project-based needs.

With over 106 markets served and more than 12 million customers, COIT is one of the larger established specialty cleaning networks in North America. Franchisees operate under exclusive territories, meaning no competing COIT units serve the same market. The brand remains family-owned, which has maintained a consistent culture and support structure across the franchise system.

Why buy a COIT Cleaning and Restoration Services Franchise?

COIT’s combination of routine cleaning and emergency restoration creates a multi-revenue-stream business within a single franchise. Routine services covering carpet, air duct, upholstery, drapery, stone, and hardwood floors generate steady repeat customer activity, while restoration work offers access to urgent, higher-ticket jobs that tend to be less price-sensitive. This mix adds resilience across different economic conditions.

The brand’s marketing program generates thousands of jobs per month across the network, reducing the prospecting burden on individual franchisees. Exclusive territories protect against internal competition, and more than 75 years of operating history provides consumer recognition that a new independent operator would take years to build.

COIT Cleaning and Restoration Services – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    COIT provides two weeks of classroom training covering operations, marketing, and service delivery across all cleaning and restoration lines. Ongoing support includes a leadership development program addressing recruiting, staff motivation, marketing execution, and daily operations management. The brand's system-wide marketing program generates thousands of jobs per month, and franchisees have access to purchasing cooperatives within the network. Resale buyers should confirm with COIT what transfer training and program access are available to incoming ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    COIT suits operators who are comfortable managing technicians and coordinating across multiple service types; the business involves scheduling crews rather than performing the work personally. Strong candidates bring a background in operations, customer service, or field-service management, and are comfortable with local sales and community outreach. Prior experience in cleaning or restoration is helpful but not required, as the brand's training covers the technical side. A willingness to recruit, develop, and retain staff is central to running a successful COIT unit.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    COIT has built recognition through more than 75 years of continuous operation, a service model spanning routine cleaning and emergency restoration, and a consumer-facing 100% satisfaction guarantee that dates to the brand's founding. The brand's longevity, with franchisee operations in some markets dating back to the 1960s, reflects sustained consumer trust across generations of ownership. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, including customer reviews, referral relationships, and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US commercial and residential cleaning services market is projected to grow by approximately $37.8 billion from 2025 to 2029 (Technavio), driven by professional cleaning demand across homes and businesses. COIT's positioning in both specialty cleaning and emergency restoration gives franchisees access to two demand streams: routine maintenance spending and post-disaster recovery from water, fire, or storm damage. Restoration work is largely non-discretionary, adding resilience in economic downturns. For resale buyers, the mix of residential and commercial clients in a territory signals where local revenue concentration is strongest.
