The franchisor offers a mandatory initial training program (covering up to three individuals). Training will take place over the course of 96 hours online, covering introduction and establishment of the business, finance, water restoration and mold remediation (an additional 40 hours of online documentation/CRM training is also offered). An additional 32 hours of in person training is required in Jupiter, Florida.
In addition to an initial training program, the franchisor provides ongoing support of franchise owners, delivering a proven system and proprietary manual. Franchisees get access to proprietary tools and systems for scheduling, job tracking, CRM, billing as well as ongoing support as necessary.
The franchisor requires use of certain technology including Lever 360, which is required for CRM and POS functionality, and QuickBooks Online, which is required for bookkeeping and financial management.
All Dry does not require a restoration background to become a franchisee, making it a strong option for both first-time owners and experienced operators. The brand is looking for driven, service-minded entrepreneurs who want to build a business around relationships and excellence in customer care, not just technical skills.
All Dry franchisees are expected to actively lead a streamlined, systems-driven restoration business — overseeing technicians and office staff, following the brand’s defined processes and using its tools and 24/7 support to manage jobs from intake through billing. The model is built so owners spend more time leading and growing the business than doing field work themselves. All Dry does not position itself as a true semi-absentee opportunity, so new owners should plan on being hands-on, especially at launch, with the potential to step back into a more executive role once a strong team is in place.
All Dry Services does not publicly promote any specific financing programs or lender partnerships for franchisees.
With nearly 63,000 damage restoration businesses operating in the United States and sustained annual growth of more than 4%, the restoration market is thriving and valued at nearly $45 billion.
Several factors are driving this growth, including the increasing frequency and severity of floods, fires and storms, aging homes and infrastructure in the United States, the trend toward urbanization and a close working relationship with insurance companies, which often fund restoration projects.
All Dry Services stands out in an increasingly-crowded market thanks to its fast-start model, operational simplicity and strong corporate support (which aims to get franchisees operational within 30-60 days). The company's approach is designed for efficiency, featuring advanced technology, a streamlined marketing system and direct partnerships with insurance companies to manage claims for customers.
In terms of competition, All Dry Services faces competitors like ServiceMaster Restore, SERVPRO, PuroClean, Rainbow Restoration and 911 Restoration. However, All Dry Services’ unique focus on 24/7 availability, transparency and a diverse slate of services offered set the brand apart.
