BEAUMONT, Texas — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation brands, is targeting the coastal city of Beaumont, Texas, and the Lake Charles, Louisiana, community as it continues its rapid expansion across the country. The franchise brand is looking to capitalize on its ongoing success by securing multi-unit franchise owners who will fulfill their mission of unparalleled customer service and quality of work within the Beaumont and Lake Charles communities. Through market research, PuroClean estimates the cities can support up to two new territories.

“The Beaumont/Lake Charles area has been a community at the top of our list for expansion for a while now,” said Tim Courtney, Vice President of Franchise Development for PuroClean. “We are seeking strategic franchise partners in this region as it continues to see a growing population with increased economic activity. We feel this locale is under-served with professional restoration services for damage caused by water, fire, mold, and biohazards to homes and businesses. With an ever-changing climate, we also value this area as a strategic location to assist in a territory that experiences a high frequency of severe weather, such as hurricanes.”

The PuroClean brand is highly regarded not only within the property restoration industry but within the franchising industry as well. In 2022, the company received recognition for the brand in national business awards programs, including PuroClean ranking No. 84 on the Entrepreneur Magazine annual Franchise 500® list, rising 13 places from the previous year’s ranking.

“We are thrilled to continue expanding our brand’s unique concept into new markets throughout the country, as we have gained a loyal following,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “Our brand has cemented itself as a necessary service for all types of professionals and households in both suburban and urban communities. No matter who you are or where you live, PuroClean brings peace of mind that your home or business is in the best hands during the property restoration process.”

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is excited to announce that their very own President and Chief Operating Officer, Steve White, will be celebrating his tenth anniversary with the company this September.

As a US Army Veteran and self-proclaimed ‘franchise guy,’ White brings to PuroClean a process driven mind-set and people first focus. Throughout his tenure, White has cemented himself as a leader within the restoration and home remediation industry, propelling the PuroClean name to new heights and achieving unprecedented growth for the franchise. In this time, he has doubled the number of franchise locations, tripled the average franchise unit sales, and quadrupled profitability and system-wide sales.

Steve has taken this brand to new heights, and I am incredibly proud to be working alongside him to service as many customers as we can. We are all grateful for the work that he has accomplished, and we are excited to see where he will continue to take the company.”

White’s journey at PuroClean has been intentional, methodical, and steadfast.

From the beginning, White has set overarching goals that the team has exceeded, further solidifying the trust he has instilled within the brand. He has become the focal point of leadership within PuroClean, a guiding light where both the support team and franchisees are excited to move the brand forward and positioning themselves as the leader in property water damage remediation, fire and smoke damage mitigation, mold removal, and biohazard clean-up services. White credits his transformational leadership qualities to mentors he has had along the way both in the Army and past franchise brands, instilling a family atmosphere that is radiant throughout the PuroClean culture.

“I am tremendously humble and proud of the work that I have done here at PuroClean,” said Steve White. “I was admittedly apprehensive to accept the position of COO when I was first approached, but I would not change my experience for the world. The amazing people that I have met these past ten years are nothing short of incredible, and I am excited to be a part of an exceptional growing brand like PuroClean.”

White guides his teams to always ask how they can help franchisees more, so it is rewarding for him to see that year in and year out, the brand is turning a profit and keeping people fulfilled. White is tremendously proud of the work he and the PuroClean family have accomplished and is looking forward to what the future has in store.

“Steve White has been an incredible addition to the PuroClean family,” said Frank Torre, Vice Chairman of PuroClean. “From the minute he took over the COO position, there was a change for the better. Both our franchise owners and Home Office team saw the outstanding leadership qualities that he possesses and were able to rally around his ideals and propel the brand to what it is today. We are all so grateful for Steve and the work that he has done for the PuroClean family.”
