Paul Davis Restoration Expands Company-Owned Operations

TORONTO, March 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX and NASDAQ: FSV) (“FirstService”) announced today that Paul Davis Restoration has recently added to its company-owned platform with the acquisition of its franchised operation serving the Houston, Texas, Raleigh, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee markets. The owner will retain an equity interest in the business and continue to lead the existing management team in overseeing day-to-day operations. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquired operations constitute one of the largest franchises in the Paul Davis network and render a full range of remediation and restoration services to residential, commercial, and institutional property owners and property managers.
