Why Choosing a Local Veteran-Owned Water Restoration Business Matters

We hope that you never have a water emergency. But when water damage strikes, choosing the right restoration company can make all of the difference in how quickly and effeciently your home is restored. While large restoration franchises may be well known, there are significant benefits to choosing a local, veteran-owned business like First In Restoration. Here’s why working with a company rooted in your community provides a better experience for homeowners in need of water damage restoration.


1. Personalized Service & Community Commitment

Large restoration franchises handle high volumes of jobs, often treating customers as just another number. A local veteran-owned water restoration business like First In Restoration is built on relationships, prioritizing personalized service and treating each customer like they are family. We are part of the community and take pride in helping our neighbors recover from water damage with care.


2. Integrity & Discipline from Military Service

Veteran-owned businesses are founded on values like integrity, dedication, and discipline—qualities ingrained through military service. As a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, First In Restoration’s founder, David King, brings a mission-driven approach to water restoration, ensuring that every job is completed with precision and excellence. Every job is well documented and photographed, every detail is recorded and uploaded to Company Cam. We send thorough and detailed reports to the customer's insurance company every time we have a job. Homeowners can trust that they are receiving honest, transparent service from a team that values hard work and commitment with the customer's best interest first and foremost.


3. Faster Response Times & Local Expertise

Time is critical in water damage restoration. Unlike large national companies that often have scheduling backlogs and out-of-town crews, First In Restoration responds quickly to emergencies because we are based in the same communities and areas that we serve. Our team understands the unique water damage challenges specific to Gwinnett, Barrow, Hall, Clarke, Walton, and Jackson Counties and provides solutions tailored to those local needs. During hurricanes we experienced in fall of 2024, we received a lot of calls asking what our turnaround time was because the "big restoration companies" were about a week behind. First In Restoration is available to come out the same day, typically within the hour.


4. Competitive Pricing Without Franchise Markups

National franchises like those come with higher service fees to cover corporate overhead and their advertising costs. As a locally owned business, First In Restoration offers fair, competitive pricing without unnecessary markups. We focus on providing high-quality service at a cost that makes sense for homeowners.


5. Supporting Local Businesses & Veterans

Choosing a veteran-owned business helps support those who have served our country while keeping resources within the community. By hiring First In Restoration, you’re not just investing in top-tier water restoration services—you’re also supporting local jobs, businesses, and a veteran’s commitment to service beyond the military.
