Seven thousand, one hundred and fifty-five. That is the number of homes and businesses that Evolve Construction & Restoration has brought back from the wreckage of hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and hailstorms since the company opened its doors. Each figure represents a family that needed someone to show up, finish the work, and stand behind it. On that record alone, founder Jaser “Jay” Zaabri has built one of the most active disaster restoration operations in three countries, generating $160 million in revenue.
Getting there required more than good intentions. It required systems, certified crews, round-the-clock response capacity, and the kind of operational consistency that does not happen by accident.
The Record That Stands on Its Own
Evolve’s operating numbers are not marketing copy. They are documented figures attached to real addresses, completed permits, and closed insurance files. The company holds IICRC and HAAG certifications, two of the most rigorous credentials available in the restoration and roofing sectors. Every project carries a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee and a 60-day completion pledge. A written price match against any comparable licensed and insured quote is available to every client from day one.
The service scope covers hurricane, fire, wind, mold, water, and hail damage restoration, as well as roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and full residential and commercial remodels. Evolve’s emergency line operates around the clock, and where site access permits, crews are deployed within hours of first contact.
Zaabri has spoken openly about the experiences that shaped how he runs the business. “I’ve been burnt many times,” he has said, and that history is visible in how the company operates: no shortcuts on materials, no abandoned jobs, top quality materials and service technicians, and a price match that puts the burden of proof on Evolve rather than the client. That experience of being on the losing end of a bad contractor relationship is precisely what shaped the standards he set for his own company.
What 35 Markets Actually Means
Scaling a restoration business across the United States is a logistical challenge that most contractors never attempt. Every market carries its own building codes, weather conditions, insurance frameworks, and homeowner expectations. A crew working the Gulf Coast after a hurricane operates in a completely different environment than one responding to the aftermath of a wildfire in the San Fernando Valley. Evolve has active operations in Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Calgary, Edmonton, and Parklea, New South Wales.
Managing quality across that geography requires more than hiring. Evolve University, the company’s sales and service training program, runs fully online and equips professionals with the skills needed to maintain consistent client experiences regardless of which market they serve. Evolve Recruiting places performance-driven talent across the company and with external construction firms, using revenue outcomes rather than placement volume as the measure of success.
The result is a company that can absorb the scale of a major catastrophe event without losing the attention to detail that a single homeowner expects on a one-property job.
The Giving That Runs Alongside the Revenue
A portion of the proceeds from every Evolve project flows directly to community relief. Evolve has committed to delivering 280,000 meals in 2026 through the It’s4TheKids Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to children facing health and well-being challenges. Each signed client agreement generates a $50 donation to the Drums of Hope program, and the company matches any half- or full-barrel contribution made by a customer, turning every restoration job into a direct act of community relief.
The Evolve Foundation runs a parallel program that provides property assistance and microgrants to veterans and low-income homeowners who cannot cover restoration costs after a disaster. Taken together, Evolve has directed $2.5 million toward community restoration and relief efforts, a figure tied directly to the number of jobs the company completes. The more work it does, the more it gives.
