Path to ownership
From First Conversation to Opening Day
Owning a restoration franchise shouldn’t feel like a maze. Here’s the general shape of how it works with Texas Damage Response, from the day you reach out to the day your location opens with our referral network behind it.
How It Works
We’re opening our first locations, so the details of each stage are still being finalized. We’ll walk you through the current version when we talk.
Stage 1: Reach out
Send the inquiry form with the market you have in mind and a little about yourself. It takes a few minutes and commits you to nothing.
Stage 2: An introductory conversation
Our owner or someone from our team calls to learn about you, answer your first questions and walk you through the opportunity.
Stage 3: Your market
We look at the territory you’re considering together, including how our plumbing franchise partners operate there.
Stage 4: Review the details
You receive our Franchise Disclosure Document and we work through founding-owner terms one-on-one. Take your time, ask questions and bring in your own advisers.
Stage 5: Make it official
If it’s a fit on both sides, we sign the franchise agreement, no sooner than 14 days after you receive the disclosure document, as federal law requires.
Stage 6: Build and open your location
Our system for building a new location takes it from there, through setup and on to running jobs the way we run them in San Antonio.
Who It’s For
The conversation is open to people already in restoration or mitigation, people in other trades and home services, and business owners from other industries who want work that matters to the people they serve. It starts the same way for everyone: with where you want to operate and what you’re looking for.

Questions About the Process
It depends on the market, your situation and how quickly the earlier stages move, so we don’t put a timeline on it here. We’ll talk it through for your territory.
Not necessarily. Tell us your background on the inquiry form, with or without restoration experience, and we’ll talk through what the system covers for someone in your position.
During the review stage, and always at least 14 days before you sign a franchise agreement or pay any money, as federal law requires.
No. The inquiry form starts a conversation. Nothing is offered or agreed until you’ve received and reviewed our Franchise Disclosure Document.
This information is not an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, a franchise. An offer can be made only through a Franchise Disclosure Document. Some states require a franchisor to register or file with the state before offering or selling a franchise there. We will not offer or sell a franchise in any such state until we have met that state’s requirements.
