About Priority 1 Restoration

When your home gets hit by fire, water, or storm damage, you need someone who treats it like their own.

How It Started

We've been serving Matthews and surrounding communities since 1997. Back then, the gap was obvious: when disaster struck—a burst pipe, a fire, a storm—homeowners faced a chain of contractors who treated each job as a transaction, not a situation. Insurance claims went untouched. Communication stopped. People felt abandoned when they needed someone most.

We decided to become the opposite. Every project we take on reflects a simple promise: we show up with integrity, we know our craft deeply, and we handle the complexity—especially with insurance companies—so you don't have to. That commitment shaped everything we've built since. Our team isn't just trained; our job coordinator brings over 20 years of hard-earned experience to every single project. Everyone on our staff understands construction from the ground up because we knew from the start that remediation and reconstruction demand both technical skill and judgment.

We're Master Certified with IICRC credentials and we've navigated complex insurance claims with enough experience to know what questions to ask and which corners never get cut. When you're standing in water-damaged home or facing a rebuild, having someone on your side who speaks both construction and insurance fluently makes all the difference.

'Our goal is to deliver exceptional value and exceed expectations by providing the utmost quality service, acting with integrity, and exemplifying high moral standards.'

What We've Learned

Water damage teaches you urgency. In the first hours after a flood or pipe burst, extraction and proper drying mean the difference between a manageable situation and structural failure. We respond fast because we've seen what happens when moisture sits.

Mold and crawlspace damage taught us that what you can't see spreads. A compromised foundation, rotting wood, or settled framing isn't just a cosmetic problem—it undermines everything built on top of it. Deep inspection and transparent assessment save money and heartbreak later.

Insurance claims are solvable if someone knows the language. We've resolved hundreds of claims by understanding both the damage and how insurers assess it. We handle the paperwork and technical documentation so you can focus on rebuilding your life. Being certified and experienced with all insurance companies means your claim doesn't fall through cracks between adjusters and contractors.

Finally, we learned that construction knowledge matters in restoration. If you don't understand framing, electrical, mechanical systems, and finishes, you can't truly assess what's at stake or what a proper fix looks like. That's why everyone on our team has building background. It makes us safer, faster, and more reliable.

How We Work

When you call, you get someone who listens and asks the right questions—not someone reading a script. We dispatch professionals trained in emergency response, dry-out, water extraction, and remediation. We pack out belongings when needed, handle odor control, manage structural repairs, and see projects through to rebuild or remodeling completion.

We also know that disaster cleanup sometimes extends beyond damage restoration. Crime scene cleanup, trauma cleanup, and specialized odor control are services we offer because we understand that communities need partners who show up for the hardest moments, not just the profitable ones.

If insurance is involved, we send claims directly to your carrier and coordinate every step. You don't navigate that alone. If it's emergency roof tarping or tree service to stabilize the property, we're equipped and ready. If it's a full kitchen, bathroom, or flooring remodel as part of the rebuild, our cherry-picked construction team delivers turn-key finishes with no surprises.

When damage happens, call us. We've been ready since 1997 and we're ready now. Friendly, personalized advice is free. Honest assessment is guaranteed. Let us handle what comes next.
