The Story Behind Gallagher Restoration
For more than 15 years, the Gallagher family has responded to water, fire, mold, and wildfire emergencies across Southern California — one home, one family, one crisis at a time.
A family that shows up when it matters most.
Gallagher Restoration is a family-owned and operated restoration company based in Canyon Lake, California. What started as a small crew answering emergency calls has grown into a full-service restoration team responding across five counties — but the way we work has stayed exactly the same.
Aaron Gallagher leads every job the way he would treat his own home: fast, honest, and grounded in doing the right thing for the customer. That's why our neighbors keep calling us back and referring us to their friends.
Aaron Gallagher — Founder & Owner
Aaron grew up in Canyon Lake, California, in a close-knit lake community where teamwork, hard work, and looking out for your neighbors weren't slogans — they were how the town operated. A childhood spent on sports fields, in the ocean, and on skateboards taught him resilience and camaraderie long before he ever ran a company.
He got his start in restoration through a chance opportunity with a friend, and a first job turned into a calling. Aaron trained himself in contents restoration and emergency response, driven by what the work actually meant to the people on the other end of the phone: not a damaged wall, but a family whose life had just been upended. That perspective became the foundation of Gallagher Restoration.
Fifteen-plus years later, Aaron leads an IICRC- and ANSI-certified crew responding to water, fire, mold, and wildfire emergencies across five Southern California counties. He credits the company's growth to the technicians and staff who share his standard for the work — and to the community that raised him, which he supports through youth sports sponsorships, school donations, and partnerships that help families through tragedy.

“I really appreciate the work done by David Schumm of Gallagher Restoration during a recent AC condensation leak in my attic. David was incredibly professional, communicative, and easy to work with through the whole process. He made a stressful situation so much easier to manage, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring our home was taken care of properly. I highly recommend David and the team at Gallagher Restoration if you ever need reliable, honest service. Thank you.”

From day one, everyone was professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Anytime I had questions, they either had the answers right away or took the initiative to find them and point me in the right direction. Their communication was consistent and timely—even after 12 months into this process, they continued to respond quickly and support me when I needed…”
Saul Huerta“I came home to leak from the upstairs bathroom. Called Gallagher Restoration after hours. Nick was so nice and confirmed they would be out early the next morning. Nick and Daniel were respectful of our home, made sure to protect everything. The communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Gallagher Restoration Jennifer, Nick, and Daniel.”
DeAnn Smith“I have really bad water damage to my flooring in my bathroom. Gallagher Restoration was recommended by my property management company and I would also recommend Gallagher Restoration as well because they truly delivered. The first person on the team that came out to my home for water damage to my flooring in my bathroom was Nick, Nick was friendly and very polite. The day that Nick showed up to my house he was on time like he said he would be and very respectful. Nick communicated with me…”
Lateraa Frierson“What a life saver! Our home had a slab leak and Nick came out that night and vacuumed up water from half of my house and put in blowers, dehumidifiers and air scrubbers. He was here until 10:00pm! Caleb was here every single day moisture testing the walls and adjusting fans. Nick and his supervisor Juan checked in and showed up often! What an amazing team! Will recommend them over and over again!”
