FirstOnSite History

Who we were, and who we are

For more than 30 years, the FirstOnsite team has been at the forefront of disaster restoration across Canada.

The FirstOnSite name was introduced three years ago to unite a number of highly regarded regional businesses, and to develop a consistent service delivery model across Canada – something that had never been done before in the restoration industry.

We continue to build and integrate our team, capitalizing on the advantages our corporate infrastructure provides while relying on the expertise that exists throughout our regions. In doing so, we combine the advantages of a large company with the agility and focus of a small company environment.

Today, we are an established and expanding national entity with over 1,100 employees, 40+ locations, and 20 affiliate partners providing remediation, restoration and reconstruction services. We are comprised of industry experts and highly skilled, IICRC-certified technicians dedicated to providing excellent customer service. We own the largest inventory of state-of-the-art equipment in the Canada, with coast-to-coast coverage and 24/7 emergency service working with the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

We put things right – the right way – each and every time.

Testimonials

During our recent renovations we were very impressed by the dedication throughout the project. We felt very safe to leave the house, all scheduling and changes were communicated well and they always cleaned up daily. We wanted to express our appreciation. — Jim and Hazel F., Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
