Company

Overview

Founded 2020

Year Established

This company was established in 2020, marking the beginning of its journey to unite independent restoration brands under a single national platform.

Over 12 States

U.S. Presence

The company operates in a significant portion of the U.S., leveraging its national resources while maintaining a strong local execution strategy through its acquired brands.

Backed by private equity (Trivest, later Knox Lane), the company has grown through strategic acquisitions across the U.S.
It provides round-the-clock emergency response for water, fire, smoke, and mold damage, paired with full reconstruction.
Typical projects range from residential flood and mold remediation to large-scale fire damage rebuilds.
By preserving local brand identities, HighGround empowers founders to scale while accessing shared tech, analytics, and insurance-claims support.
Operating in over a dozen states, the company blends national resources with local execution via brands like Rocky Mountain, Allklean, Allphase, and Same Day.
Financial backing from Trivest and Knox Lane fuels expansion in digital marketing, M&A, and operational efficiency.
Unusual fact: despite rapid growth, it maintains family-brand autonomy—turning chaos into calm without rebranding acquired companies.
