Guardian Restoration Partners Launches with Alpine Investors to Transform Home Restoration Industry

Alpine Investors has announced the launch of Guardian Restoration Partners, a new platform created to partner with and elevate exceptional home restoration businesses. Simultaneously with its launch, Guardian has formed partnerships with three leading restoration providers: DryLux Restoration, Dry Kings, and Midwest Restoration. These companies are well-respected in their local markets of Arizona, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Wisconsin, respectively, and known for their commitment to community and quality service.

Guardian Restoration Partners is focused on collaborating with top-tier local restoration brands that specialize in helping home and property owners recover from emergency situations. These events include damages caused by water, fire, mold, lead, asbestos, and biohazards. With a people-first approach, Guardian aims to facilitate growth for its partner businesses by focusing on talent acquisition and development, and by strategically investing in technology and efficient systems. This support structure allows business owners to concentrate on what they do best: delivering outstanding customer experiences during critical times.

The leadership team at Guardian Restoration Partners includes Bruno Slosse as CEO and Brian Willis as President, who will spearhead the company’s M&A strategy. Bruno Slosse brings extensive experience from his previous role as President and CEO of Vendavo, a software company catering to global manufacturers and distributors. His expertise is expected to be crucial in guiding Guardian and its partners through significant growth phases. Brian Willis, recruited through Alpine’s talent program, previously held a position at GTCR, a prominent private equity firm.

“The launch of Guardian Restoration Partners is incredibly exciting for me. Our vision is to become the most impactful company in the restoration industry, and we are dedicated to building this business the right way,” stated Bruno Slosse. Brian Willis further elaborated, “Building the right way means prioritizing an exceptional employee experience, maintaining a customer-centric approach, and steadfastly honoring the legacies of the businesses we partner with.”

Daniel Cohen, Partner at Alpine Investors, commented on the new partnerships, “DryLux, Dry Kings, and Midwest Restoration have earned outstanding reputations in the restoration industry for their dedication to providing superior emergency restoration services. We are thrilled that these companies have chosen to partner with Guardian for their next phase of expansion. Alpine’s commitment to building great companies, particularly within the home services sector, makes us an ideal partner for Guardian.”

DryLux Restoration, established in Gilbert, Arizona in 2010 by Ben and Robert Horne, has a strong history of protecting and restoring homes across the Mesa and Phoenix areas.

Dry Kings, founded by Jenny and Matthew Sharpe, has been dedicated to restoring properties and livelihoods in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade. Their commitment to high standards of care after water or fire damage is well-recognized. Partnering with Guardian Restoration Partners will accelerate Dry Kings’ expansion and hiring initiatives, all while preserving their culture of integrity and customer focus.

Midwest Restoration, founded in 2008 by Coyne Borree in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, was built with a mission to serve his local community. With a team of compassionate and dedicated professionals, Midwest Restoration provides 24/7 emergency services for both residential and commercial properties across numerous Wisconsin counties.
