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 four 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 four 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.
