They have been there for our local team members whenever they needed their help or ideas. The future looks very good, and after just one year, we are happy to expand into the Okanagan Valley."

“What drew us to the Paul Davis network was the opportunity to serve people in their time of need. The restoration industry allows us to not only focus on the mitigation aspect of a project but also other related property services. Just having the Paul Davis name gives us credibility, allowing us the opportunity to seek various avenues for work.
It’s great when you have a large network onboard striving for the same results. We are able to lean on not only the franchisor for help and direction, but we can also reach out to any fellow franchisees to share ideas and come up with solutions to almost any issue that arises.”
