ServiceMaster Restore

When homeowners deal with water, fire or mold damage, the first call is usually urgent. For&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-servicemaster-restore-franchisees-offer-flexibility-in-finance-options-2731701" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ServiceMaster Restore</a> franchisees, that early conversation often centers on a practical question: how is this going to get paid?At&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/servicemaster-restore/info">ServiceMaster Restore</a> in Nampa, Idaho, franchisee Christopher Davis and Marketing and Sales Manager&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/riane-tynan/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-servicemaster-restore-franchisees-offer-flexibility-in-finance-options-2731701" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Riane Tynan</a> have built financing conversations directly into their intake and inspection process. Their goal is to help customers understand their financing options.“We ask what happened and create a space to have that conversation,” said Davis. “A lot of times, customers don't know what they need, you're there to help them. We go over the whole [financing] process.”&nbsp;<h2>Helping Customers Understand Their Options</h2>In the midst of a loss, it can be stressful to navigate the financial aspect of restoration. That’s where ServiceMaster Restore comes in, providing clarity and clear guidance on financing options. Once Davis is on site, the conversation shifts to helping homeowners understand what comes next.&nbsp;“We leave information behind, then we start working the estimate,” Davis said. “It’s about staying engaged with the customer and using financing as another tool in our toolbox.”The company walks customers through the scope of the work, the costs involved and the options available to cover those costs, including third-party financing through ServiceMaster Restore partners, bank loans and home equity lines of credit. Acting quickly during the early stages of property damage is critical to limiting the extent of the problem.“Homeowners need to take action quickly to protect their homes and belongings from further damage. Water can cause immeasurable damage to a home, and high humidity levels can wreak havoc on its contents,” said Mark Rohlfing, senior manager of local sales at ServiceMaster. “Soot and contaminants from fires tend to be acidic and can cause etching and corrosion on certain materials that could all be avoided through quick decision-making to engage a mitigation company like ours to take action.”Many homeowners are conditioned to seek multiple bids and choose the lowest price, but that approach can create problems during restoration projects. The lowest price isn’t always the best option when it comes to protecting property values and equity in the home.“When forced to make quick decisions to protect your home, what really matters is understanding the intended scope of work and the reputation of the company you hire,” Rohlfing said.&nbsp;Davis explains the options to his customers: doing some of the work themselves, hiring ServiceMaster Restore to complete the project or combining the two. From there, deeper financing discussions typically begin, and that is when the handoff to Tynan happens. She serves as the financing point person, guiding customers through third-party options and helping them choose a plan that fits their situation.“It just creates a space for them to even think about it themselves. Maybe they can use a credit card because they could get airline points for that, for example,” she said. “You don’t have to use our financing. But it gets them thinking.”<h2>Becoming Part of the Solution</h2>Both Davis and Tynan say that integrating financing into everyday operations has changed how customers respond.“When people call us, it’s because they need help,” Davis said. “Financing lets us stay part of their solution all the way through.”Importantly, they stress that customers are never pushed toward a specific product. Some choose bank loans, credit cards or home equity options instead.&nbsp;When handled the right way, financing is not an awkward sales conversation. It is a service that helps homeowners move forward during one of the most difficult moments they will face, while allowing restoration companies to stay engaged, supportive and responsive from start to finish.For more information on franchising with ServiceMaster Restore, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-servicemaster-restore-franchisees-offer-flexibility-in-finance-options-2731701" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/.</a>&nbsp;

<a href="https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/">ServiceMaster Restore</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.servicemasterclean.com/">ServiceMaster Clean</a> are partnering with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hireheroesusa.org/">Hire Heroes USA</a> for the fourth annual We Serve: Veterans Golf Tournament on May 28 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.&nbsp;Since 2023,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/servicemaster-restore/info">ServiceMaster Restore</a> and Clean have raised over $700,000 for Hire Heroes USA, supporting their mission to keep career services completely free for veterans and military spouses. This tournament is a part of building on that mission. Two hundred guests are already expected, including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarrid-%E2%80%9Cjay%E2%80%9D-collins-b737aa58/">Jay Collins</a>, the lieutenant governor of Florida.&nbsp;“Since we partnered with Hire Heroes USA in 2023, we have seen tremendous support from the Restore and Clean networks,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johntovar/">John Tovar</a>, group president at ServiceMaster Restore and Clean. “From this annual&nbsp; golf event to the many local events, hosted by franchisees, our franchise networks have embraced this partnership and have made it their own.”ServiceMaster Restore was named Hire Heroes USA’s 2025 Partner of the Year. In addition to fundraising events like the tournament, the franchisor works with the organization year-round to create employment opportunities for veterans. It connects local franchise owners to Hire Heroes USA’s job board which helps match qualified veterans with opportunities across the ServiceMaster Restore network.&nbsp;“Every team, department, and franchise across ServiceMaster Restore and Clean has embraced the opportunity to create meaningful employment outcomes for veterans and military spouses,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rossdickman">Ross Dickman</a>, CEO of Hire Heroes USA. “That kind of mission alignment creates real impact—not only for the military families being served, but for the communities and organizations investing in them.”Franchise owners who have also served in the military, like Air Force veteran&nbsp;<a href="http://linkedin.com/in/chris-jeter-8996a587">Chris Jeter</a>, know firsthand the importance of hiring veterans. The event is also a chance to come together as a company and celebrate the mission of Hire Heroes USA.“I know how hard it is to transition from the military mindset to a civilian mindset and Hire Heroes USA offers the tools needed to be able to do that,” Jeter said. “The golf tournament is a fun event. I'm not a golfer, but getting out there and mingling with former military people, and just being able to build camaraderie and tell stories and explain what it's been like since I've gotten out has been great.”&nbsp;Events like the golf tournaments not only highlight the importance of the Hire Heroes USA mission and create awareness, but the funds raised directly contribute to its core programs and put veterans and military spouses into meaningful careers.“It’s critical that companies continue prioritizing veteran and military spouse hiring strategies,” Dickman said. “Organizations like ServiceMaster Restore and Clean understand that supporting the military community is not only the right thing to do—it’s also a competitive advantage. Veterans and military spouses bring leadership, adaptability, resilience, and a mission-oriented mindset that strengthens teams, culture, and long-term growth.”In addition to the national tournament in Florida, franchisees around the country will also host events in their local communities. One event took place in Charleston, South Carolina, led by franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-beinkampen-176955351/">Justin Beinkampen</a>.“Around five or ten percent of our population in Charleston is military active duty or family,” he said. “We run into these folks, we serve these folks, we work with them, go to church with them. We’ve always been around the armed forces here in Charleston, so getting involved with Hire Heroes just made sense. We’re a service-minded industry, so we look for people who want to serve. Veterans are used to being part of a team and having a mission, and that fits exactly with what we do."Strong turnout at these events helps build understanding and appreciation for the skills and abilities that veterans and military spouses bring to the workforce. With a large turnout from franchisees, vendors, partners and military guests, the organizations will continue the outstanding work of ensuring veteran skills are included in the labor market.“Our annual golf tournament has turned into an event&nbsp; our partners now mark on their calendars,” said Tovar. Our franchisees and partners understand the mission of Hire Heroes and are willing to give their time and resources to support their cause in supporting our veterans and their spouses. Our veteran community has given so much to this country, it’s the least we can do to give back to them.”&nbsp;For more information on franchising with ServiceMaster Restore, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/.">https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/.</a>&nbsp;About ServiceMaster Restore®:&nbsp;With approximately 2,000 franchised and licensed locations around the world, ServiceMaster Restore and ServiceMaster Recovery Management (SRM) serve customers through a global network of franchises available 24/7/365 to provide residential and commercial restoration services resulting from damage caused by water, fire, smoke or mold.

McRaven</a>, Air Force veteran, whose message centered on resilience and leadership. “He really talked about dealing with challenges that he faced not only in the military but also in life, and why you have to buckle down and think positively,” Yoder said. “It was a really inspirational message.”<h2>Recognizing Excellence Across the Network</h2>The conference also gave ServiceMaster Restore a chance to recognize franchisees who had delivered strong results and helped set the standard for the rest of the system. “We celebrate our top-performing locations,” Yoder said. “We’ve outlined a playbook that shows franchisees the areas to focus on, and those are correlated with growth and profitability.”<h3>Marion E.

ServiceMaster Restore Celebrates Systemwide Excellence at 2026 Annual Conference

For more than 65 years,&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/">ServiceMaster Restore</a> has been one of the most recognized names in residential and commercial disaster restoration. With more than 800 franchise locations across several countries, and with the backing of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.servicemaster.com/">ServiceMaster Brands</a>, the company has built its reputation on responding quickly when water, fire, smoke or mold damage disrupts homes and businesses.Now, the company is placing a stronger emphasis on managed repair services, allowing franchisees to take projects from initial mitigation through full reconstruction.<h2>Why Managed Repair Services Matter Now</h2>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-stateson-32974747/">John Stateson</a>, vice president of construction services, this shift is largely driven by customer preference, as reported in a J.D. Power studies the team commissioned and researched.Adding managed repair services opens more doors at the local level. Adjusters, agents and referral partners often look for providers who can take a project from mitigation through the rebuild. Handling the full scope of work removes the need to juggle multiple vendors, and that shift makes franchisees easier to work with and more reliable in the eyes of local partners.“Being able to become that single-source solution will grow your business that much better as the years go on,” Stateson said. “In my experience, I spent half my career in this industry as a franchisee, and because we offered construction, we were able to get work from so many referral sources and consistent, repeatable work because they knew that we were trustworthy, that we did quality work and they continued to come back to us.”That has not always been the standard approach. For years, insurance carriers often split mitigation and reconstruction between separate vendors because of concerns about conflicts of interest. In practice, though, that setup often led to delays, mixed messages and a more frustrating experience for homeowners. Now, both carriers and customers are placing more value on having one company oversee the job from beginning to end.With improvements in documentation tools and project management technology, Stateson said brands like&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/servicemaster-restore">ServiceMaster Restore</a> can now provide transparency and eliminate the gray areas that once made separation necessary. “We can tell a better story,” he said. “We can help justify and prove what needs to be done, and also deliver a better product.”<h2>Improving the Customer Experience After a Loss</h2>When mitigation and reconstruction are handled by separate companies, customers often struggle to understand who is responsible for each phase. Miscommunication can lead to finger-pointing between vendors and longer project timelines. By integrating managed repair&nbsp; services, franchisees simplify the process.“They have one company that they’re going to talk to throughout the project,” Stateson said. “There’s a lot less confusion around it. I also think that when you have that single provider delivering that solution end-to-end, that provider is more likely to put its best foot forward. And so it improves the quality of the experience.”Because reconstruction planning can begin while mitigation is still underway, projects often move faster overall. Eliminating vendor handoffs reduces downtime and accelerates completion.<h2>How the Brand Supports Expansion into Managed Repair</h2>ServiceMaster Restore is investing in training, technology and peer collaboration to help franchisees integrate or expand managed repair services, especially since construction within a restoration environment is distinct from traditional contracting. Franchisees are not remodeling homes. They are restoring properties to pre-loss condition, often working within insurance guidelines and tight timelines.“When you go in to do construction for restoration, every project’s a little bit different,” Stateson said. “You’re not remodeling. You have to restore. The restorative construction piece is unique in that sense, and it can be more difficult. So we work to provide a lot of training and best practices.”The brand is developing playbooks, structured training programs and best-practice frameworks to guide franchisees through operational integration. Peer-to-peer collaboration also plays a significant role, connecting experienced operators with those just entering the managed repair space.&nbsp;“We also want to work to enhance technology around it,” Stateson said. “We’re looking into the technologies of artificial intelligence, documentation technology and then blending that into our overall processes around construction.”<h2>Getting Started: A Measured Approach</h2>Franchisees exploring managed repair services for the first time need to start with the basics. Requirements are not the same everywhere. Licensing rules can change from one state or municipality to the next, and the difference matters. In some markets, restoration work can be done without a license, while construction work cannot. Before moving forward, it is important to understand what is required locally, how permitting works and whether the franchise agreement allows for adding new services.“Oftentimes people want to jump into it with both feet and get the really big jobs because it’s a lot of money,” Stateson said. “But the reality is when you take that big of a risk with a really big job with a little bit of experience, you can easily get yourself into financial harm.”<h2>Beyond the Standard Offerings: Growing Local Revenue</h2>As disaster restoration continues to evolve, ServiceMaster Restore’s focus on managed repair services reflects a broader industry shift toward accountability, efficiency and customer-centered delivery.For franchisees, integrating reconstruction is not simply about adding revenue. It is about strengthening referral relationships, shortening project timelines and creating a more seamless experience during one of the most stressful moments a customer can face.For more information on franchising with ServiceMaster Restore, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/.">https://franchise.servicemasterrestore.com/.</a>&nbsp;
