Founded in 2009 by Dragan Krstic in Lorton, Virginia, Voda Cleaning & Restoration began as DNA Pro Cleaning & Restoration. In 2023, the company rebranded and launched its franchising program, rapidly expanding across the United States.
Today, Voda is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, and operates under the leadership of CEO Dan Claps and COO Zach Nolte.
Voda offers a comprehensive suite of services, including carpet and floor cleaning, water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, storm damage restoration, mold remediation, and odor removal.
This dual-service model provides franchisees with multiple revenue streams, catering to both residential and commercial clients.
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.
Voda Cleaning & Restoration provides a detailed training framework to prepare franchisees for operating their business effectively. Here are the training programs outlined by the franchisor:
Voda Cleaning & Restoration provides franchisees with a defined Franchise Territory, where they are permitted to operate their business and serve customers. Within this territory, Voda agrees not to establish or authorize another franchisee, provided the agreement remains in force and the franchisee is not in default.
Franchisees may serve customers located up to 25 miles outside their territory, but only with prior written consent and as long as it doesn’t infringe on another franchisee’s area.
However, this territory is not exclusive in a broader sense. Voda and its affiliates retain the right to sell products and services, including through online platforms, and to operate or authorize other similar or different businesses under different names both inside and outside of the franchise territory.
