Lightspeed Restoration is a water and fire damage restoration franchise founded in 2023. It was established in Flower Mound, Texas, where it also maintains its headquarters at 777 International Parkway. The brand is part of Home Franchise Concepts, a major home-services franchising group, and it began franchising the same year it was launched.

The franchise provides emergency restoration services for both residential and commercial clients. Its offerings include water removal, fire and smoke damage cleanup, mold remediation, indoor air quality improvement, duct cleaning, board-up services, storm recovery, and complete reconstruction.

Lightspeed Restoration stands out in the competitive restoration market with its IICRC-approved training facility, in-house call center services at no extra cost, advanced technology systems, and robust catastrophe and insurance program support.

Training

Lightspeed Restoration provides comprehensive training programs for franchisees to ensure successful business operation. The franchisor delivers the following structured training components:

1. Initial Training Program: This mandatory program is offered to the franchisee and one employee at no additional cost. It encompasses classroom and on-the-job instruction, covering the operational, technical, and management aspects of running a Lightspeed Restoration franchise. Any additional personnel can attend for a fee of up to $1,500 per person.
2. Academy Training: This segment is designed for franchisees, their managers, and optionally one other attendee at no cost, pending space availability. The Academy delves deeper into business execution and brand compliance.
3. Ongoing Training and Development: Lightspeed Restoration offers continuing education on new products, services, and methods as they evolve. This ensures franchisees stay up to date with industry trends and best practices.

Territory Protection

Lightspeed Restoration offers territory protection to its franchisees through a clearly defined “Protected Territory” agreement. This territory is specified in the Franchise Agreement and disclosed to the franchisee before signing, ensuring that the franchisee has exclusive operational rights within that area.

The Protected Territory typically requires the franchisee to establish a commercial office/warehouse within 180 days of signing the agreement, subject to the franchisor’s approval based on specific criteria.

While Lightspeed Restoration provides this territory protection, it does not guarantee exclusivity against competition from non-franchised businesses or digital channels that may reach into the territory.
