About Jonathan Friedman

I’m the owner of Lightspeed Restoration of Austin, where we help homeowners and businesses recover quickly from water damage, fire damage, mold remediation, and indoor air quality issues. We’re a full-service restoration company, which means we handle everything from initial mitigation through reconstruction—so our customers don’t have to juggle multiple vendors during an already stressful situation. When something goes wrong in a property, speed and trust matter. Our focus is simple: show up fast, communicate clearly, and do the job right the first time—so people can get back to normal without unnecessary stress. Before starting Lightspeed, I spent 20+ years in operations, strategy, and finance—working with Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, and startups. That background shapes how I run the business today: disciplined, data-driven, and focused on execution. I’ve led teams, built companies, and managed complex situations—but what I enjoy most now is building a local business that people can count on when it matters most. If you’re in Austin and need a dependable, full-service restoration partner—or want to connect—feel free to reach out.
