Recognition highlights sustained growth and momentum as Protect Environmental builds a broader home services platform
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — August 20, 2026 — Protect Environmental, a national home services company focused on protecting people and property, today announced that it has earned a place on the 2026 Louisville Business First Fast 50, recognizing the 50 fastest-growing privately held companies in Greater Louisville. Louisville Business First will announce the final rankings, based on three-year revenue growth, in October.
The Fast 50 recognizes companies based on three-year revenue growth from 2023 through 2025. Protect Environmental’s inclusion reflects the significant growth and momentum the company has built as it expands its services, geographic footprint, and customer base.
“We’re proud to be recognized among Louisville’s fastest-growing private companies,” said Byron Crews, Chief Executive Officer of Protect Environmental. “This recognition reflects the incredible work of our team and the investments we’ve made to build a stronger, more diversified company. But we’re not focused on growth for growth’s sake. We’re building a scalable platform that creates long-term value for our customers, our employees, and our partners.”
Founded in Louisville in 2005, Protect Environmental now serves 8 markets across the U.S. and has evolved from its roots in radon services into a broader home services platform, with capabilities spanning insulation, radon measurement and mitigation, mold remediation, chemical vapor intrusion, water quality testing and treatment, and other services that protect the health, safety, efficiency, and performance of properties.
The company’s growth strategy combines organic expansion, strategic acquisitions, geographic growth, and diversification into new service offerings. Most recently, Protect Environmental acquired ARC Insulation, expanding its home services capabilities and advancing its strategy to provide more comprehensive solutions for property owners.
“Fast growth is important, but sustainable growth is the goal,” Crews said. “We’re investing in the people, technology, infrastructure, and capabilities needed to build a scalable platform. Every new service and acquisition strengthens our ability to serve customers while creating another building block for the company we’re becoming.”
Protect Environmental serves residential and commercial property owners across the United States with solutions designed to protect occupants, preserve property assets, and improve the long-term performance of the built environment.
The Fast 50 recognition follows Protect Environmental’s first-ever ranking on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies, providing additional third-party recognition of the company’s growth at both the local and national levels. The company‘s Fast 50 ranking will be announced in October, when Louisville Business First publishes the complete list of companies in order of three-year revenue growth.
