Renew Medic™ didn’t set out to reinvent the restoration industry. It simply focused on a problem no one else was solving.
“Whenever there is water or fire damage in the home, there are three parties who tend to be involved,” said Renew Medic President, Chris Gammill. “There’s the mitigation companies that don’t want to touch cabinets, the insurance companies, which save a ton of time and money by not replacing an entire kitchen, and the homeowners, who get to stay in their home thanks to our specialized bracing system.”
This means that, in most claims, the cabinets become the bottleneck. No one wants to take them on, yet everyone pays the price when they can’t be addressed quickly.
Recognizing that shared problem and offering a mutually beneficial solution has fueled Renew Medic’s fast rise. Launched in 2024, the brand won more than 60 territories in its first year, a pace driven not by aggressive expansion but by what Storm Miller, REP’Ms Director of Franchise Development, calls “a win for all three parties involved.” Potential owners quickly recognize the white space, a service with virtually no direct competition inside an industry that’s been waiting for a more efficient answer.
For franchisees, the moment the model clicks is often when they realize that solving a niche problem doesn’t make the business small; it makes it essential.
“Mitigation companies love us because we take on what they won’t,” said Miller. “Insurance companies love us because the savings are immediate, and homeowners love us because they get to stay in their homes instead of being displaced.”
However, a smart concept alone doesn’t guarantee momentum. Renew Medic built its Franchise Success Center to ensure new owners have the foundation they need. Miller calls it “real support, not a quick onboarding.” It provides training in sales, marketing, HR, accounting and operational nuances most franchisees haven’t touched before.
That combination of clear market demand, strong economics and unusually robust support for a young brand has defined Renew Medic’s early trajectory.
“When everyone in the process gets a win, the model tends to carry itself,” said Miller.
Renew Medic’s story is still unfolding, but its momentum reflects something simple: a thoughtful solution landing in the right market at the right time.
