24/7 emergency restoration for homes and businesses throughout the City of Poughkeepsie, Town of Poughkeepsie, and Dutchess County. Water damage, mold remediation, fire repair, and full reconstruction, handled by one local team from start to finish.
Restoring Poughkeepsie Properties Since 2019
KPM Restoration is a locally owned restoration company serving Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County. We’re not a franchise. We don’t rotate crews in from other regions. When you call us, you get technicians who know the area, understand the housing stock, and respond fast.
We’ve completed over 175 restoration projects across Dutchess County: from burst pipes in Southside Historic District Victorians to commercial flood cleanup along Route 9. Our project managers are on-call for every emergency, and our crews are IICRC-certified in water restoration, fire damage, and mold remediation.
What makes us different:
Poughkeepsie has one of the most diverse housing stocks in the Hudson Valley. The city contains over 80 properties on the National Register of Historic Places: Queen Anne Victorians, Colonial Revivals, and Italianate mansions built during the city’s industrial heyday. Meanwhile, the surrounding town offers mid-century suburban homes in Arlington and Spackenkill, college-adjacent housing near Vassar and Marist, and everything in between.
National franchises apply one-size-fits-all protocols. We understand that an 1880s Victorian on Garfield Place requires different restoration approaches than a 1960s ranch in Red Oaks Mill. We also handle your insurance claim directly: documenting with Xactimate, communicating with your adjuster, and fighting for full coverage.
Our Restoration Services in Poughkeepsie
KPM Restoration handles the full scope of property damage from emergency response through final reconstruction. One company, one point of contact, one bill to your insurance.
Water Damage Restoration
When to call: Burst pipes, flooded basements, appliance leaks, sewage backups, or any standing water in your home or business.
Poughkeepsie’s older homes are particularly vulnerable to water damage. The city’s Victorian-era housing stock often features aging plumbing, finished basements without proper moisture barriers, and original hardwood floors that can’t tolerate prolonged moisture exposure. The Hudson River floods Waryas Park and waterfront areas during major storms, and the Fallkill Creek can overflow during heavy rains.
What we do: 24/7 emergency extraction, structural drying with commercial LGR dehumidifiers, thermal imaging to find hidden moisture, and direct insurance billing. We specialize in drying historic plaster and original woodwork without causing secondary damage.
Response time: 60 minutes or less to any Poughkeepsie address.
Mold Remediation
When to call: Visible mold growth, musty odors that won’t go away, respiratory symptoms that improve when you leave the building, or post-water damage inspection.
The Hudson Valley’s humidity, regularly exceeding 70% in summer, creates ideal conditions for mold growth. Poughkeepsie’s older homes, with stone foundations, limited ventilation, and decades of deferred maintenance in some neighborhoods, are especially susceptible. We frequently find mold in basements, attics, bathrooms, and inside wall cavities after water damage that wasn’t properly dried.
What we do: KPM Restoration is a New York State Licensed Mold Remediation Contractor. We execute remediation protocols written by your licensed assessor, perform containment, HEPA air filtration, safe removal of affected materials, and antimicrobial treatment. We coordinate moisture source correction to prevent recurrence.
Important: New York State requires separate companies for mold assessment and remediation. We can refer you to licensed assessors in the Poughkeepsie area.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
When to call: Any fire damage, from a small kitchen fire to major structural damage, plus smoke odor, soot on surfaces, or water damage from fire suppression.
Fire damage is rarely just fire damage. Smoke penetrates soft materials, soot coats every surface, and fire hoses leave behind significant water damage. Poughkeepsie’s historic homes present additional challenges: older electrical systems increase fire risk, and original woodwork, plaster, and period details require careful restoration rather than replacement.
What we do: Emergency board-up and securing, debris removal, soot cleaning (including soda blasting for heavy deposits), ozone and hydroxyl treatment for smoke odor, water extraction from suppression efforts, and full reconstruction of damaged areas.
Response time: 60-90 minutes for fire emergencies, 24/7.
Storm & Flood Damage
When to call: Damage from severe weather: roof leaks, fallen trees, flooding from heavy rain, or wind damage.
The Hudson River reached minor flood stage at Waryas Park during the December 2023 storm, and similar events have flooded waterfront properties multiple times. Inland, summer thunderstorms overwhelm storm drains in older city neighborhoods, and the Fallkill Creek corridor experiences periodic flooding. The December 2023 and July 2023 storms caused significant damage throughout Dutchess County.
What we do: Emergency tarping for roof damage, water extraction from storm flooding, tree damage cleanup coordination, and full restoration of weather-damaged structures. We document everything for your homeowner’s claim.
Reconstruction & Repairs
When to call: After any restoration project that requires structural repair, or for standalone repair work on water-damaged, fire-damaged, or deteriorated structures.
Most restoration companies subcontract reconstruction. We don’t. Our in-house crews handle drywall repair, painting, flooring installation, trim work, and structural repairs. One company from emergency response through final walkthrough means no gaps, no finger-pointing, and one point of contact for your insurance carrier.
What we rebuild: Drywall and plaster, hardwood and tile flooring, cabinets and trim, painting and finishing, and structural framing when required.
Biohazard & Trauma Cleanup
When to call: Situations involving blood, bodily fluids, or other biohazardous materials, including unattended death, crime scene cleanup, or hoarding remediation.
These situations require specialized training, proper PPE, and disposal protocols that standard cleaning companies aren’t equipped for. We handle these calls with discretion and professionalism.
What we do: Safe removal and disposal of biohazardous materials, deep cleaning and sanitization, odor elimination, and restoration of the affected space.

What Poughkeepsie Neighbors Say
Our Victorian on Garfield Place had a burst pipe that damaged the original plaster ceilings. KPM dried everything without cracking the plaster and handled all the insurance paperwork. Couldn’t have asked for better service.
Michael & Susan T., Southside Historic District
Basement flooded during the December storms. KPM arrived fast, extracted the water, and found hidden moisture in the wall cavities. They prevented what could have been a major mold problem.

Do you handle insurance claims for water and fire damage?
Yes. We work directly with all major insurance carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, NYCM, and Travelers. Our team uses Xactimate, the industry-standard estimating software required by insurance adjusters, to document every aspect of your claim. We communicate directly with your adjuster to advocate for full coverage and offer direct insurance billing.
Do you serve both the City and the Town of Poughkeepsie?

Can I stay in my home during the restoration process?
Whether you can remain in your home depends on the “category” of damage:
- Minor Water Damage: Usually allows you to stay in the home while drying equipment runs.
- Mold Remediation: Often requires you to avoid the “containment zone” for safety.
- Fire & Biohazard: Temporary relocation is typically required due to air quality concerns, soot exposure, or a lack of essential utilities.
We will provide a safety assessment during our initial inspection to help you make an informed decision.
How long does the restoration process typically take?
While every project is unique, most Poughkeepsie restoration projects follow these general timelines:
- Water Damage Drying: 3 to 5 days for structural stabilization.
- Mold Remediation: 1 to 5 days depending on the size of the affected area.
- Fire & Smoke Damage: Ranges from one week for cleaning to several months for major structural reconstruction.
