Restoration Industry Statistics

Dataset

This report aggregates 651 RestoreRadar-listed restoration provider records across 20 metros in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Illinois, South Carolina, CA, NY, and MA. It measures what RestoreRadar can source consistently across the published directory: provider-stated 24/7 response and direct insurance billing, public Google rating and review volume, domain-matched Google Business locations, IICRC Certified Firm matches, and official state mold-credential matches.

Within this directory dataset: 86.6% of listed records state 24/7 response, 53.0% state direct insurance billing, 77.6% have a matched public Google rating, and 24.6% match an IICRC Certified Firm record. These are proportions of RestoreRadar’s published records, not national industry rates.

Download the figures to compare the companies listed in each area. The totals come from the same listings shown in our directories and company profiles. The report does not contain provider contact details or personal information.

Limits

This snapshot describes our current listings. Without a comparable earlier snapshot, it cannot show industry growth, decline, or trends.

Emergency-response language is more prevalent than direct-billing language. 86.6% of listed records state 24/7 response, while 53.0% state direct insurance billing—a 33.6 percentage-point gap. Both are provider website statements, not tests of availability, response speed, or claims handling.

Public business identity is easier to corroborate than specialized credentials. 81.3% of listed records have a domain-matched Google Business location. The narrower IICRC and state mold-credential matches use different official source scopes; a missing match remains unconfirmed and must not be read as evidence that a provider is unqualified or unlicensed.

Metro Signals

This chart compares the share of listed records whose provider website states 24/7 response or direct insurance billing. It uses the same metro rows as the downloadable data and is provided as an SVG for legible reuse.

Publishers may embed the current SVG without resizing a screenshot. Keep the visible “not a census or market-share measure” note and the branded source attribution so readers can inspect the methodology.

The chart summarizes RestoreRadar’s published directory records as of 2026-09-10. It does not measure total local supply, market share, current availability, response speed, job quality, or claims performance. You may also download the SVG directly.

By Metro

The table compares the current directory footprint metro by metro. “24/7” and “insurance direct” are statements observed on provider websites. Ratings and review totals are public Google Business data attached only when the business identity can be matched. Credential counts require a named match in the relevant official registry.

By Service

A provider can appear in more than one service row, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. They show the depth and geographic reach of each service category inside the current directory, not the total size of the U.S. restoration industry.

Local Data

Compare company counts and reported services for each type of damage in each metro. The 80 rows summarize our local directories; the download does not identify individual companies.

Download the metro-by-service CSV. Providers can appear in more than one service row. Counts describe RestoreRadar’s published directory footprint—not total local supply, current availability, market share, or service quality.

Directories

Choose a city and damage type to compare companies. These 80 local directories include the listings counted above, with company details, sources, and questions to ask before hiring.

Water Data

RestoreRadar currently classifies 588 published provider records under water damage restoration across 20 covered metros. Within that service row, 526 (89.5%) state 24/7 response, 325 (55.3%) state direct insurance billing, and 449 (76.4%) have a matched public Google rating.

149 water-service records (25.3%) match an IICRC Certified Firm entry. Missing matches are unconfirmed, not negative findings. Providers can appear in more than one service row, and these figures describe RestoreRadar’s current directory classification—not the total number, market share, revenue, or performance of water-damage companies.

Method

Provider websites. RestoreRadar records service coverage, 24/7 response, and direct insurance-billing statements when they are visible on a provider’s own website. These are attributed provider statements, not independent tests of response time, availability, coverage, or claims handling.

Google Business data. Public rating, review-count, and location signals are included only when the Google Business identity is matched to the provider’s website domain or another approved identity key. The review total is the sum of the public review counts represented by those matched listings; RestoreRadar does not reproduce individual reviews in this dataset.

Official credentials. IICRC Certified Firm status is matched against the IICRC Global Locator. State mold credentials are matched against the official Texas TDLR, Florida DBPR, or Louisiana LSLBC roster. The narrower claim and its limitations appear on each eligible provider receipt.

Freshness and corrections. The aggregate inherits the committed provider, city, and service provenance date shown below. Provider facts change, registries change, and companies enter or leave markets. To report an error, use the contact page. For the evidence classifications and dispute rules, read Verification Standard v1.0.

Fields

The JSON download carries these definitions, source classes, limitation notes, citation text, and canonical methodology links alongside the data. Counts are non-negative integers; a missing confirmation must not be interpreted as a negative finding.

Questions

How big is the restoration industry?

This report cannot establish the total U.S. company count, revenue, or market size. It covers 651 provider records currently published by RestoreRadar across 20 metros; companies outside that directory footprint are not counted.

What trends can this restoration industry dataset show?

It can compare current counts and proportions within RestoreRadar’s published records across metros and services. It cannot measure change over time because this release is a current observational snapshot, not a historical time series.

Is this a census of every restoration company in these metros?

No. It is an aggregate snapshot of the provider records currently published by RestoreRadar. A company may operate in a metro without appearing in this dataset, and the counts should not be read as market share.

What does a missing provider signal mean?

It means RestoreRadar did not confirm that signal from the provider website, a domain-matched Google Business location, the IICRC Global Locator, or an official state roster. It does not establish that the provider lacks the attribute.

Can I download and cite this data?

Yes. Metro aggregates and the metro-by-service detail are available as separate CSV files, and the full aggregate report is available as JSON. Cite RestoreRadar, link to this report, include an access date, and preserve the coverage and limitation notes.
