Founded in 2016 by seasoned entrepreneur Nick-Anthony Zamucen, Best Option Restoration (BOR) has quickly become a standout name in the disaster restoration industry.
Headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, the company began offering franchise opportunities in 2018. Since then, BOR has expanded to over 65 locations across the United States, with plans to continue its rapid growth.
BOR provides a full range of services, including water damage repair, fire and smoke restoration, mold remediation, storm damage recovery, contents cleaning, and large-loss commercial restoration.
What sets BOR apart from its competitors is its commitment to innovation and efficiency. The company uses proprietary thermal technology that dries structures in about half the time of traditional methods, cutting both labor costs and customer downtime.
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.
The franchise BOR Franchising, LLC offers several structured training programs for its franchisees:
BOR Franchising, LLC offers its franchisees an Exclusive Territory, meaning that as long as the franchisee complies with the agreement, no other franchise, company-owned, or affiliate-owned business will be placed within that area.
This allows the franchisee to serve clients only within their designated zone, with temporary permission to service nearby unassigned areas until another franchise is placed there.
However, this territorial protection does not guarantee success or profitability, and the franchisor explicitly states that performance is up to the franchisee.
