Restoration 1, a franchise specializing in emergency restoration and reconstruction services, has announced the appointment of Tom Gissler as president.
Bringing 13 years of industry experience to this role, Gissler will be responsible for the overall leadership of the brand, at a time when service-based businesses are seeing exponential demand and, subsequently, growth.

I look forward to achieving new growth milestones every year to service more customers.”
Prior to this new role, Gissler worked in various leadership and support roles at disaster restoration brands such as Rytech Inc., Grayson Recovery & Vigilant Restoration, PuroSystems, Belfor, and ServPro.
