CFDR vs. Rainbow Restoration: Local Matched Pros vs. a National Franchise
Rainbow Restoration is part of the Neighborly corporate family — one of the largest home services franchise networks in the US. When you call CFDR, you get Ryan directly, not a Neighborly call center. Here's what that difference looks like when your home is flooded.
Call 321-420-7274 — Talk to RyanTwo Corporate Layers. Double the Overhead.
Rainbow Restoration franchisees pay royalties to Rainbow — and Rainbow pays a percentage to Neighborly, their parent company. That double overhead flows through to pricing. CFDR's network is independent local pros with no franchise fees, no corporate royalties, and no parent company taking a cut. You pay for your restoration, not corporate infrastructure.

One Call. Full Restoration.
No corporate layers between you and the person who answers.
No corporate chain between you and your pro
Rainbow → Neighborly → franchisee creates three layers between you and accountability. Ryan Solberg answers directly, dispatches directly, and is personally responsible for every job in the CFDR network. One person. One phone number. Full accountability.
Full scope: mitigation, mold, and rebuild
Rainbow franchises vary in scope — some stop at mitigation, some include mold but not rebuild, some refer out entirely. Our pros cover the full restoration under one contract and one Xactimate estimate. You don't coordinate between three contractors after the mitigation phase.
No franchise overhead in your quote
Rainbow pays royalties to Neighborly; that cost flows through their pricing. Independent local pros in the CFDR network carry no franchise overhead — their pricing reflects actual local market rates for the work, not a corporate fee structure.
Florida mold license — no subcontractor needed
In Florida's climate, mold begins growing within 24–48 hours of a water event. If your Rainbow franchise subcontracts mold work, that creates delay and coordination gaps. CFDR network pros hold Florida Mold Remediator License MRSR5370 — they remediate in-house.
Complete Xactimate scope for insurance
A Rainbow mitigation estimate does not include reconstruction or mold costs. When your adjuster sees a partial scope, that is what they budget. Our pros write a complete Xactimate estimate — mitigation + mold + rebuild — that your insurer processes as a complete claim.
Ryan answers at 2 AM, 24/7/365
Neighborly-routed calls don't reach the owner at 2 AM. Ryan does. His number doesn't change, doesn't go to voicemail, and doesn't connect to a dispatcher. When your home is flooding, you reach the person making the decisions.
