First Onsite Property Restoration Further Broadens Geographic Footprint

Acquires Complete DKI and Moore Restoration


TORONTO, Aug. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX and NASDAQ: FSV) (“FirstService”) announced today that its subsidiary, First Onsite Property Restoration (“First Onsite”), has recently acquired Complete DKI (“Complete”) and Moore Restoration, Inc. (“Moore”). Terms of the two transactions were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Pensacola, Florida, Complete is a leading provider of disaster restoration services in the Florida Panhandle region. Complete’s three offices provide emergency and catastrophe response, construction services, environmental services, and fire, smoke and water damage repair to a broad range of commercial and insurance clients.

Moore, founded in 1997 and based in Indianapolis, is a market-leading commercial restoration services firm in the central Indiana region. Moore has developed a particularly strong reputation and expertise as a leading provider of infectious control and disinfection services to hospitals and a wide range of other healthcare clients across the Midwest U.S.
