Residential work may be the bread and butter of the property restoration industry, but commercial large loss takes PuroClean Franchise Owners to another level. Through its infrastructure and strategic partnerships, Franchise Owners can pursue larger projects and truly maximize revenue potential as a full-service restoration provider.
PuroClean Franchise Owner Brian Towne of Bloomington, Illinois, knows these large-loss projects can propel your business forward.
“Getting exposure to commercial large-loss work really changed how I think about what’s possible in this business,” Towne said. “One of our most recent large-loss projects will be almost four times what we did in revenue in our first full year in business.”
It shifted Towne’s approach to his business structure.
“It made me realize that growth isn’t limited by your market,” Towne said. “It’s limited by your ability to handle bigger opportunities when they come.”
Remediating fire damage at a restaurant was an eye-opener for PuroClean Franchise Owner Brock Phillips of Terre Haute, Indiana who leverages the PuroClean brand to diversify into commercial work.
“Commercial large loss has created an additional revenue stream,” Phillips said. “It’s a completely new marketing opportunity and a continuation of what we already do.”
PuroClean's sister company, Signal Restoration, specializes in national commercial large loss restoration, giving PuroClean Franchise Owners a unique competitive advantage. Through this relationship, Franchise Owners like Phillips can leverage Signal's resources and expertise to take on commercial projects at scale.
“Working with a partner like Signal becomes important for dealing with the customer, insurance, and consultants,” Phillips said. “It keeps us focused on producing the job and not writing estimates, ROMs, or going back and forth on … [any] changes they want.”
For PuroClean Franchise Owner Danny Ognean of Anaheim, California, a hotel loss demonstrated how PuroClean’s full-service restoration capabilities can allow Franchise Owners to capture more of the revenue available within a single commercial project.
What started as remediation of mold throughout portions of the hotel expanded into water damage cleanup following an unexpected pipe failure. Ognean’s team was ready to respond as the scope evolved.
“This project demonstrated that commercial restoration offers tremendous opportunities for PuroClean Franchise Owners ,” Ognean said. “Success comes from strong project management, technical expertise, effective communication, and the ability to adapt when conditions change It also reinforced the value of the PuroClean brand and network, which gives Franchise Owners the support and credibility needed to compete for larger commercial restoration projects.”
Joe Thomas, president and CEO of PuroClean National Response Team (NRT), emphasized that large-loss projects can dramatically expand the revenue ceiling for Franchise Owners, who can access the PuroClean network’s resources and capacity for projects that extend beyond the geography or capabilities of a single location.
“Residential jobs [are] great. You need that everyday work,” Thomas said. “… The commercial piece is the most lucrative, highest level of pressure and, ultimately, the real test for you and your team. If you can work and perform at a high level, that high is off the charts. It truly separates you from everyone else in the field.”
