Mississauga, ON (Nov. 3, 2025) – First Onsite Property Restoration, Canada’s leading property restoration company, is pleased to announce that it has acquired RBT Restoration By Trades, a full-service property restoration company based in Kelowna, British Columbia.
“RBT Restoration By Trades has earned its local reputation through disciplined execution with the kind of quality that keeps phones ringing,” said Peter Corsano, EVP of Operations at First Onsite. “The company’s focus on delivering an exceptional client experience aligns perfectly with our vision at First Onsite. This acquisition enables us to better serve our national clients in this growing community, further expand our complex-loss capacities, and strengthen our offering in Kelowna and across the Okanagan.”
Founded in 2020 by co-owners Giles Evans, Brie Greenwood, and Ken Kilpatrick, RBT provides trusted support to residential and commercial clients through its relationships with property managers, adjusters, brokers, and stakeholders across the region. The company’s comprehensive property restoration services include emergency response to flood, fire, and storm events, as well as complex claims restoration services.
Driven by a vision to apply a customer-centric approach to restoration, RBT’s three co-owners will maintain their leadership roles in the Kelowna business, which has now become the Kelowna branch of First Onsite. They are eager to continue serving their customers with the added strength of First Onsite’s resources and national structure behind them.
“We were very impressed by RBT’s experienced leadership team, including the team’s strong capabilities and its respected local relationships in Kelowna. This acquisition provides First Onsite with a strong base to grow our business and is another example of First Onsite’s expansion plan at work to better support our insurance partners across Canada,” said Corsano.
