FirstOnSite Restoration is the leading national provider of disaster restoration services in Canada to residential, commercial and industrial clients. FirstOnSite is a full service restoration provider with emergency and re-build expertise in water losses, wind damage, fire and smoke damage, sewer backup, document restoration, hurricane and tornado restorations, odour control, contents handling, drying, electronic repairs, mould remediation, asbestos remediation, petroleum spills and infection control.
FirstOnSite was formed in February 2007 through the merger of Edenvale Restorations and Woodhouse Contracting, two leading regional disaster restoration firms. Following the initial transaction, FirstOnSite acquired an additional 14 regional disaster restoration firms in Canada. The company now has over 1,100 employees operating out of over 40 cities in all but one of the Canadian provinces.
FirstOnSite’s vision is to build the pre-eminent disaster restoration company in Canada with coast to coast representation, a consistent customer service offering, and a corporate sales and marketing function dedicated to winning business on a national scale. At the same time, FirstOnSite remains proud of its regional heritage. Many of the original founders of the business continue to play key management roles and ensure that the company meets the needs of local customers.
FirstOnSite was established to seize an opportunity in the Canadian market. In the context of a consolidating insurance and insurance adjusting industry, Canada lacked a leading national provider of disaster restoration that could provide quality, consistent, and transparent service across the country. Before the creation of FirstOnSite, the industry was highly fragmented with a large number of regional players. FirstOnSite has made substantial progress in consolidating the industry and is focused on enhancing its customer value proposition and integrating its operations to support further growth.
