“Josh and team are fantastic to work with and I highly recommend them!”
Kyle Brody
“KPM responded immediately after I had water damage to my home from winter ice dams. Project managers Dave and Dan were transparent, kept me informed, and easy to communicate with during the mitigation and rebuild phases. The workers were very respectful of my home and did an excellent job. Special thanks to Red who was a consistent presence during our rebuild, very attentive to our feedback, and did quality work. My home was restored to it's predamage condition. I highly recommend trusting KPM with your restoration project!”

“KPM Restoration was outstanding from start to finish. Tom Robertson and Jamie Kennedy responded immediately when I reached out with my issues. They responded incredibly fast when I had water damage, which immediately took a lot of stress off my plate. From the moment they arrived, it was clear they take their work seriously and care about doing things the right way. They took the time to properly tape off the affected area and laid down plastic to fully protect my carpeted staircase—something I really appreciated. They didn’t rush the job either. They used moisture meters throughout the process to make sure every bit of water was fully addressed, not just what was visible. They even went as far as pulling my entire carpet to ensure nothing was left behind that could cause future issues. That level of thoroughness and attention to detail is hard to find. Professional, meticulous, and reliable. I highly recommend KPM Restoration to anyone dealing with water damage.”

“KPM did an outstanding job on a recent job I used them for. I have a major sewer backup at a building I manage. Eli, Evan and Gabe did a fantastic job. They cleaned and sanitized the impacted areas. Did a ceiling, floor and cabinet removal...prepping it for new installation. Highly recommend!”
Jim Murray
“We were so impressed with KPM Restoration! They did an incredibly thorough evaluation of our issue and the team worked incredibly hard and efficiently to help us with severe ongoing water damage that caused so many issues in a room at our facility. All in all, it took around 3 days and they left the space super clean, too! We would certainly use them again. A special thanks to Rob & Colin who were SO easy to work with, great communicators, and kind!”

“KPM was recommended to me by a friend and my insurance company for a sewer backup cleanup. Jeremy was the first person I spoke with. He was a pleasure to speak with. He was very understanding and compassionate to the situation and came to access the damage. He set up our appointment for the service and actually had a cancellation and had a crew here 2 days after he accessed everything The clean up crew was absolutely AMAZING! They were extremely thorough in the cleaning but what really made me happy I chose them was THIS crew and how compassionate they all were and made sure to ask about things that they thought could possibly be of any value to us. They had us tell them and mark anything we wanted sanitized (if possible) as well. Most would just toss it without even thinking about it. They were all very personable and a pleasure to have work for me and let me tell you these guys BUST their butts doing this stuff! GREAT JOB GUYS!!! All around I was EXTREMELY pleased! Thank you again KPM!”

“What really showed me KPM’s value is when they discovered more issues that the adjuster and even myself missed. They operated like doctors”

What to Know
Understanding Fire and Smoke Damage
Emergency Board-Up and Securing Your Property
After the fire department leaves, a damaged building is exposed to weather, wildlife, and trespassers. Our first job is to stabilize the structure: boarding up broken windows and doors, tarping compromised roofs, and fencing off unsafe areas. Insurance requires this step and will not cover additional damage caused by leaving the property open. We respond 24/7 and dispatch crews from our Capital Region operations.
Smoke, Soot, and Odor Removal
Smoke damage extends far beyond what burned. Soot is acidic and will permanently etch glass, chrome, and finished metal within days if not cleaned. Smoke odor penetrates drywall, plaster, insulation, HVAC ductwork, carpets, and upholstery. We clean salvageable surfaces using dry-sponge, wet-chemical, and ultrasonic methods depending on the material, and we deodorize with thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment.
Water Damage from Fire Suppression
Almost every fire job is also a water job. Suppression hoses dump thousands of gallons into a structure in minutes, and that water soaks into subfloors, plaster, hardwood, insulation, and contents. If we do not extract and dry it fast, you are looking at warped floors, ruined cabinetry, and mold within 48 hours. Our crews handle the water damage restoration side of a fire loss in the same visit.
Restoring North Adams's Historic Mill Architecture
North Adams's 19th-century mill worker housing and converted industrial buildings around MASS MoCA have original brick masonry, plaster, lath-and-plaster walls, hardwood trim, and architectural details that are difficult to source today. Our reconstruction crews are experienced with historic preservation. We rebuild to match the original craftsmanship whenever possible.
One Team from Emergency to Final Rebuild
KPM Restoration handles the full scope in house: mitigation, contents cleaning, structural demo, and full reconstruction. That means you are not juggling a mitigation company, a contents cleaner, and a general contractor. We document everything in Xactimate (the estimating software adjusters require), bill your insurance directly, and keep the job moving.
How Fire Damage Restoration Works
From emergency response to handing back the keys, we manage every phase of your fire damage recovery.
Emergency Board-Up and Securing
We secure your property immediately, boarding windows, tarping roofs, and stabilizing structures to prevent further damage, weather exposure, and unauthorized entry.
Documentation and Insurance
Every inch of fire, smoke, soot, and water damage is thoroughly documented with photos, scope reports, and Xactimate estimates. We meet with you and your adjuster to agree on the restoration plan.
Water Removal and Drying
We extract all firefighting water, set up commercial drying equipment, and monitor moisture levels to prevent mold growth.
Smoke, Soot, and Odor Removal
All surfaces are professionally cleaned. We use thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators to permanently eliminate smoke odors. If needed, we pack out contents to our facility for off-site cleaning and safe storage.
Reconstruction
Our crews handle the full rebuild: framing, drywall, flooring, paint, and any other repairs needed to restore your property to pre-loss condition. One contractor from start to finish.
