Advanced Laser Restoration is a mobile laser cleaning and restoration franchise founded in 2022 in Wilmington, North Carolina. Headquartered in Hampstead, NC, the company operates with eco-friendly, chemical-free laser technology to clean and restore metal, stone, wood, concrete, and more.
It offers a wide array of services, including wood stripping, biofilm and graffiti removal, rust and corrosion mitigation, injection mold cleaning, soot removal, and grease extraction.

What sets Advanced Laser Restoration apart is its pioneering use of laser cleaning—a safe, precise, and environmentally responsible alternative to sandblasting or harsh chemicals.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Advanced Laser Restoration offers a comprehensive training program to prepare franchisees for operating their laser cleaning business. The training is structured around both initial instruction and ongoing support. Here are the main training programs:
Advanced Laser Restoration does not offer franchisees any exclusive or protected territory. Franchisees are expected to operate primarily from a home base, and the franchisor does not assist with site selection or provide geographic exclusivity.
This allows the franchisor to maintain flexibility in granting new franchises or operating outlets in any area. Although franchisees can advertise and market their services locally, the franchisor has the authority to form regional advertising cooperatives based on media markets or other geographic criteria.
These cooperatives may include both franchisee-owned and company-owned outlets, with shared financial contributions and voting rights. Therefore, while there is structure to support marketing within an area, there is no formal territorial protection against internal competition.
