About

A desire for a

Different way

United Restorers was borne out of frustration — a desire to see things done a different way — the right way. Franchise Systems, high-cost Lead Generation and Preferred Vendor Programs have made it nearly impossible for independent restoration companies to compete – and thrive. We change that for our clients.

Through multiple marketing efforts, we put you, the Restorer, in charge of your leads, creating an environment where your local brand grows.

At United Restorers

We Believe In...

  • Your Freedom

    We believe restoration and mitigation companies — regardless of their affiliation — should be free to do what they do best, not bogged down with trying to make the phone ring.

  • Your Leads

    We believe your company should own incoming leads from start to finish; we are not a referral service. We become an extension of your Sales/Marketing Teams.

  • Your Brand

    We believe in promoting your local brand above all else; customers find YOU, not us.

From the

Founder

 

My name is Jon Grubb. Together with my wife, Janet, we own United Restorers. I began work in the construction industry at the age of 15 — working for my dad by helping him with the “computer stuff” he didn’t understand. By 16, I was working for him in the field. Truth be told, I was probably better suited to the “computer stuff”.

Fast forward a decade (and a different coast), I had been recruited to a commercial reconstruction company based in Southern California. This experience was my first taste (sometimes literally) of Restoration work. And I was hooked.

Then in 2009, I joined a national Restoration Franchisor. Soon I was their Vice President of Operations. During this time, I recruited and launched more than two dozen franchised locations. I trained dozens of owner/operators, branch managers and countless employees. On a national scale, I developed multiple technology systems as well as training, marketing & compliance programs — most of which are still in use today.

But I came out of franchising a bit jaded. The brand I worked for didn’t offer the help my franchisees needed and certainly not in the time-frame I thought was appropriate. And so, United Restorers was borne out of frustration — a desire to see things done a different way — the right way. I wanted to make the phone ring for clients . Afterall, the phone not ringing seemed to be their biggest pain point.

Over the last 15 years, I have talked to thousands of Restorers. My company (founded in 2013) has helped hundreds of Restorers launch, grow and thrive. I also co-founded the Alliance of Independent Restorers (the trade group that grew out of Facebook’s “Restoration Rebels”). And, yes, I’ve also learned 1) not all franchises are bad and 2) a lack of phone calls isn’t always a Restorers biggest pain point — among other things. But we can discuss that later.

We’re not just “a marketing company”. We understand Restoration — with all its highs and lows — better than most. We’ve managed advertising budgets of hundreds and hundreds of thousands. We understand franchising, its pros and cons, and we see in the team at DRYmedic a ton of potential. And we are just as selective with who we work with as you are.

We’re eager to get to know you and your team. Schedule a call with me here and see if we might be a good fit for one another.

you may be asking yourself

What's the alternative?

Is there a better way? We tackled these questions by looking at the needs most Restorers have:

Restorers need the phone to ring.

Restorers need to grow their brand’s identity within their local market.

Restorers need the same tools mega franchises and Lead Generators use without the strings attached.

Restorers need to be enabled to tackle the “big stuff” if they so choose.

United Restorer’s

Experience

I began work in the construction industry at the age of 16 — working for my dad. More than twenty years later, I can confidently say I know the industry very, very well. Along the way, I’ve honed other skills that have helped my clients grow their businesses substantially. United Restorers’ support typically becomes 35-65% of our client’s annual revenue. And our total costs hover around 8% of our client’s average monthly revenue.

Put another way, we show good returns.
