Originally from Nigeria, Charles first became a PuroClean Franchise Owner in 2021 when he opened PuroClean of Victor Heights in California. Less than 18 months later, he opened a second fire and water restoration franchise<\/a>, PuroClean of West Los Angeles. His determination, aptitude for the industry, steady growth, and dedication to service all contributed to Charles winning the Rookie of the Year award at the 2024 PuroClean International Convention in Denver, Colorado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles says he had tried other business ventures in the past, but the support from the Home Office and other Franchise Owners made a huge difference \u2013 and puts PuroClean among the top restoration franchises<\/a> on the market today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the things I highly appreciate as a PuroClean Franchise Owner is how quickly people are willing to respond when you have questions or when you\u2019re in a situation where you need insight from more experienced folks,\u201d he says. \u201cWe share our successes and our failures, and together we become better at what we do. The benefit is in knowing we truly can do a lot more by collaborating. To me, PuroClean culture means leadership that holds service to others at its core.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles was already an insurance industry specialist before deciding to venture out on his own into property damage restoration. While researching brands, he talked to a friend who already owned his own PuroClean remediation services<\/a> franchise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis story was unique, as he had little to no prior experience with a property restoration company<\/a>. Getting to know the dynamic of the PuroClean Way and the support he received as he ventured into this complex industry made it a no-brainer for me to lean into PuroClean.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Charles, the PuroClean Way means being humble and willing to be the help.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe consistently encourage our team to take pride in what we do and work with grit, patience, and a willingness to go the extra mile for our customers,\u201d he says. \u201cIn many cases, homeowners we\u2019ve helped have given us genuine feedback about how much we care to be the help.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting Your Own Restoration Franchise<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One look at restoration industry statistics<\/a> makes it clear that it\u2019s only continuing to grow. The industry is currently worth $41.2 billion U.S.<\/a> and that number is expected to grow to $75.8 billion US by 2034. This growth is due to the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters due to climate change. Property damage restoration is also a recession-resistant industry because hurricanes and fires still happen no matter what\u2019s happening in the rest of the economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given this outlook, you might be wondering how to start a restoration company<\/a>. With PuroClean, the process couldn\u2019t be simpler! Between the franchise fee, vehicles, and equipment, you\u2019re looking at an investment of $225,000 to $245,000 to get started. PuroClean can help with financing options, and if you\u2019re a military veteran, we offer a discount on the initial franchise fee through the PuroVet<\/a> program. There are so many great opportunities to generate revenue, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
