## Story

IRVINE, Calif. - Home Franchise Concepts announced today it is launching a new company in the restoration market. Lightspeed Restoration provides 24/7, service from highly trained technicians to address water and fire damage restoration as well as indoor air quality (IAQ) improvements for residential and commercial properties.

Lightspeed Restoration is making its debut in three markets, with franchisees opening for business in the coming weeks in Lexington, Kentucky; Mobile, Alabama; and Covington, Louisiana. These local owners will answer an increasing demand for restoration and remediation amid common household water emergencies, structure fires, storms and other natural disasters that leave consumers in need of immediate, expert help.

“Our executive team has been serving in this industry for over 30 years, and we recognize the need for a restoration company that sets itself apart with fast response times and experience working with insurance carriers,” said Steve Willis, president of Lightspeed Restoration. “The Lightspeed starts with our in-house call center dispatching to homes and businesses 24/7 and continues with our caring, highly trained technicians who have a passion for coming to the rescue. They know exactly what to do to mitigate water and fire damage or to improve indoor air quality.

Their knowledge of the insurance process also helps to speed up the process and reduce stress for everyone involved.”

Both Willis and Troy Coolidge, Lightspeed’s vice president of operations, have over three decades of experience in cleaning, restoration and IAQ. Willis has been with Home Franchise Concepts since 2021 and has an extensive background in the residential and commercial restoration and cleaning industry. Coolidge has worked in almost every aspect of the business throughout his restoration career, with vast experience in training and supporting franchise networks.

“Increases in extreme weather events, coupled with aging infrastructure and subpar building methods, have created a heightened demand for expertise in this area. Backed by the proven leadership of Steve and Troy, the Lightspeed Restoration team is poised to make an immediate impact on the local communities they serve,” said Andrew Skehan, president and CEO of Home Franchise Concepts.
