We’ve never been a company to stand still.
From the beginning, Best Option Restoration has looked for better, smarter ways to approach restoration. That mindset has shaped how we serve customers, support our franchisees and build the business.
Because of that approach, we’ve been named a Top Evolving Brand at the 2026 International Franchise Professionals Group Retreat in Hollywood.
The award recognizes us as a brand that is continually evolving through technology and innovation, whether that means using new tools to improve daily operations, finding better ways to drive sales or using technology to enhance the products and services offered to customers. For BOR, that spirit is nothing new.

A history of doing things differently
One of our earliest examples was also one of our biggest: using heat to dry properties faster. At a time when traditional restoration methods were the norm, BOR saw an opportunity to approach the process differently. That willingness to challenge the status quo became part of who we are and it still is today.
As our franchise network has grown, so has our focus on what will continue to spark growth for the company.
“Best Option Restoration has been a forward-thinking, technology-driven company from its very inception,” said Brian Brinegar, BOR’s Franchise Liaison. “Using thermal technology to dry faster was our first paradigm shift in the industry, and we continue to use emerging technologies to shape our future.”
That evolution has taken many forms over the years. It’s in the technology we use in the field, the systems we continue to improve and the tools we provide our franchise owners to help them run their businesses more effectively.
And perhaps most importantly, it’s in our willingness to keep asking a simple question: Is there a better way to do this?
Evolving alongside our franchise owners
The past year has been an exciting one for BOR. We’ve continued to grow our franchise network while investing in the people, systems and technology that help our owners build strong, successful businesses.
As our franchise owners grow, their needs evolve. As the restoration industry changes, we need to change with it. And as new technology creates opportunities we couldn’t have imagined a few years ago, we want to be willing to explore them. It’s this approach that has helped BOR continue to evolve while staying true to what has always mattered most: people, service and doing the job right the first time.
“We’ve never been interested in doing things a certain way just because that’s how they’ve always been done. What drives us is finding a better way, whether that’s in the field, at HQ or in the tools we put in our owners’ hands. We’re grateful to IFPG for this recognition and it makes us even more excited about what’s next.” — Kyle Chiasson, President of Best Option Restoration
Recognition for where we’re going
As the leading franchise growth platform serving more than 1,500 franchisors, franchise consultants and vendor partners, IFPG’s recognition is meaningful to our team because it reflects more than a single initiative. It recognizes a culture of continual improvement.
To be recognized by a group so closely connected to the franchise community is a great reminder that the work happening behind the scenes at BOR matters.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come and we’re even more excited about what’s ahead. Here’s to continuing to evolve, continuing to grow and continuing to leave the world better than we found it.
