About the business

David Taylor

Owner

David Taylor was born into construction. His father was a respected general contractor, and David grew up learning the craft — the materials, the systems, the way a building is put together from the foundation up. He earned his general contractor license and spent years as a custom home builder and remodeler, developing the deep understanding of building assemblies that restoration demands. A business transition led David to Missouri, where he was introduced to the restoration industry working alongside family. The experience changed his direction entirely. He recognized that restoration required everything he knew about construction — but demanded something more: the ability to act decisively under pressure, to earn a family's trust in the worst moment of their lives, and to navigate the complex intersection of technical restoration work and insurance claims. In 2022, David founded First Response Restoration LLC, establishing the Houston headquarters at 16011 Hollister St — a central location that puts his team within 60 minutes of any home or business in Harris County and the surrounding metro. He subsequently expanded to the Rio Grande Valley, establishing a second IICRC-certified location in Edinburg, Texas to serve South Texas's growing market. David holds four IICRC technician certifications — WRT, ASD, AMRT, and FSRT — covering every major damage type the company handles. He personally oversees major projects and maintains the technical standards that have earned the company its BBB A+ rating and IICRC Firm certifications at both locations.

Our family faced a difficult situation requiring biohazard cleanup, and the team handled everything professionally and compassionately. They arrived the same day, completed the work safely, and kept us informed throughout. Their certified technicians were outstanding, and their attention to detail was impressive. My go-to restoration company in Houston.

The owner, David Taylor, is highly knowledgeable, professional, and always communicative throughout each project. The quality of their work is second to none. I highly recommend First Response Restoration for any water damage or mold remediation needs.

A late-night flooding emergency could have been a disaster, but their 24/7 emergency service saved the day. The certified technicians arrived quickly and got to work right away. Their flood damage restoration expertise was obvious from the start, and they kept us informed throughout the process. Truly a reliable restoration contractor in the Greater Houston area.
