Company Mission: The individuals who comprise National First Response could do a lot of things in this world, but we have chosen to be in the restoration business because it fulfills on how we want the world to be – that all individuals and families have an opportunity to live in a comfortable home that provides them peace, security, and love. National First Response exists to fully restore the property and lives of those impacted by natural and man-made disasters. Company History: The company, based in Tempe, Arizona, has experienced steady growth since its founding in January 2008. At its inception, National First Response had just a single truck and just a few air cleaning and drying pieces of equipment.
