Water Damage Restoration
Our water damage restoration service addresses emergencies from burst pipes, floods, or storms. Using dry ice blasting and industrial dehumidifiers, we extract water, dry affected areas, and repair structural damage. Partnering with trusted contractors, we replace carpets, drywall, and flooring to restore your property to its pre-damage condition.
Fire Damage Restoration
Fire damage restoration includes soot cleanup, debris removal, and structural repairs. We clean and replace damaged walls, ceilings, and flooring while salvaging salvageable items. Our team works swiftly to deodorize and sanitize affected areas, ensuring your property is safe and habitable as quickly as possible.
Mold Removal
Mold removal services involve inspecting affected areas, containing contamination, and purifying air with HEPA filters. We replace damaged materials like drywall and flooring while using antimicrobial treatments to prevent regrowth. Our process ensures a thorough elimination of mold hazards from your home or business.
Smoke Damage Cleanup
Smoke damage cleanup includes removing soot residues, deodorizing interiors, and restoring surfaces. We clean or replace damaged textiles, fixtures, and structural elements while using specialized equipment to eliminate lingering odors and airborne particles from fire incidents.
Disinfecting Services
Our disinfecting services use germ fogging technology to eliminate bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19. This deep sanitization process targets hard-to-reach areas, providing peace of mind for residential and commercial clients seeking enhanced hygiene protection against infectious pathogens.

This company rocks! We had smoke blowback from a fireplace that coated the house in soot. Tori and Rob did an amazing job cleaning top to bottom. Called the emergency number, had a quick response and they worked with insurance adjuster promptly. Highly recommend this company!

We had a water leak from upstairs through the ceiling. Our house is over 160 yrs old, so ceilings were PLASTER ! Ceiling also had a texture. This was not easy to match,. Between COVID delays and other issues the job took way longer than expected. But this was no reflection on the company. Things happen that CAN NOT be predicted especially in OLD houses. In the end the ceiling was fix, matched the texture, painted and the house was cleaned ( and exceeded my VERY PICKY expectations.) EVERY worker that came into my house was kind, friendly, respectful and professional. I did not CHOOSE First Choice

We would like to thank First Choice Restoration and their team for a wonderful job. They handled everything from finding the water issue, dealing with insurance, cleaning up and drying out damaged areas in the home and then putting all new flooring, ceiling and bathroom back together. I would highly recommend them for any of your restoration needs. Top notch company for sure...

They sent someone over to address my basement flooding very quickly. They did a great job cleaning up the mess, it took them no time at all and they were very nice! Very very appreciative!!

I recently had what I would call a 2 building sewage explosion. One basement had almost two feet of brown water in it, the basement of my property next door had about 8in of raw sewage in it. I called First Choice because they came highly recommended from a trusted source. Jim actually physically responded to the site within an hour to assess my problem. In less than 24 hours both basements had sewage removed. The cement floor in one basement flushed with water, the dirt floor basement had all sewage removed, one bucket at a time, and lime spread on both floors. Absolutely everything was removed
