TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FirstService Corporation (TSX and NASDAQ: FSV) (“FirstService”) announced today that its subsidiary, First Onsite Property Restoration (“First Onsite”), has recently acquired Insurance Restoration Specialists (“IRS”). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1985 and headquartered near Newark, New Jersey, IRS is one of the largest independently owned commercial restoration service providers throughout New Jersey, while also serving its clients within the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas. IRS provides emergency mitigation and reconstruction services to a broad range of institutional customers in the insurance, education, healthcare and government sectors, with particular expertise in environmental remediation, facility infection control, and HVAC cleaning and inspection.

“This transaction follows on the heels of our prior acquisition of Manhattan-based Maxons Restorations. The addition of IRS provides us with greater capabilities to serve the marquee New York City market and the broader Tri-State region of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,” said Stacy Mazur, First Onsite CEO, U.S. “The strong, collaborative leadership at IRS, combined with their deep customer relationships and environmental experience in key practice areas, provides a seamless fit with our operations. We look forward to having them join the First Onsite team,” he concluded.
