Gap sits at the crossroads of rural charm and suburban convenience. The mix of older farmhouses, newer developments, and historic commercial spaces creates unique restoration challenges when damage occurs. Here are common issues we help local property owners handle:
With a blend of older and newer plumbing, plus unpredictable weather, issues can catch homeowners off guard. Water can seep into drywall, subfloors, and carpets if it isn’t addressed quickly, increasing the risk of mold and structural deterioration. Our team responds quickly to dry affected areas, prevent spread, and complete water damage repair so your property is safe and livable again.
We treat both visible soot and lingering odors with specialized smoke damage cleanup methods, so you’re not left with residual damage or unhealthy indoor air. Prompt action helps reduce long-term corrosion and staining, and our fire and smoke damage restoration process is designed to address both visible residue and hidden impacts.
Many residents first notice a musty odor or minor discoloration, but it can spread into wood framing and insulation if left untreated. Our team uses moisture testing to find the full extent of the problem and completes mold remediation to help prevent it from coming back.
In many cases, quick action helps prevent water intrusion and additional structural damage. Our crew handles emergency tarping, debris removal, and repair and reconstruction for everything from historic barns to family homes, helping protect your property before the next round of weather.
Our reputation is built on the trust and satisfaction of the families and businesses we’ve served throughout the region. Read what our clients have to say about their experience working with our certified restoration team.

Our basement flooded due to a broken sewer pipe. Major did a wonderful job of clean-up. Anthony and Cam did an awesome job of putting our room back together the way it was before the flooding. I would highly recommend Major and Anthony and Cam!Posted on GoogleBrittany KohlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We can’t say enough amazing things about Major Restoration Services! After an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience with ServPro, Major Restorations came in and completely turned our situation around. From the very first phone call to the final walk-through, they were fair, transparent, and professional every step of the way. Duy was incredible—he came out right away to assess the water damage, had a detailed estimate to us the same day, and got the job started the very next morning. From there, the entire project was completed in less than a month! He even reviewed our outrageous invoice from ServPro and pointed out where they were clearly overcharging us. His honesty and industry knowledge were such a breath of fresh air. Tyler started tear-out and water remediation and was fantastic—thorough and clearly knew exactly what needed to be done. Jay and Cameron took care of the remodel and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of their work. They were friendly, respectful, and clearly cared about doing the job right. We truly hope we never need water damage services again, but if we do—or need any remodel work—Major Restoration Services will be our very first call. This is a company that genuinely cares about their clients and takes pride in doing the job right. They’ve earned our trust and our business for life!Posted on GoogleChrissy SpottsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I wanted to make sure I leave a review of the team at Major Restoration. I purchased my first home in May of 2024. Within days of moving in, I had a plumbing issue that needed immediate correction. I contacted my insurance company who has a national contract with another national restoration service. After the initial company came to my house, they remediated the sewage damage and I was told I would be contacted by the restoration team to complete the restoration. MONTHS went by with little to no response from the other company. After getting the run around for months and not having use of my first level and full bathroom, I had my fill of the nonsense. I reached out to Major Restoration, hoping beyond hope that the team there could help me. My initial call was exactly what I needed at the time - I was met with compassion and quick estimate set up. Duoy and Brian came out to see what was left after the other company refused to complete the work. They were extremely kind, compassionate and thorough, ensuring that the estimate they worked up for the insurance company would completely restore my first level and get me whole again. Within weeks, the team at Major Restoration begun the work of putting things back together for me. They worked with a plumbing sub-con, DeRose Plumbing, who were also very kind, respectful and understanding. Major didn't just restore my first level - they made the space BETTER than it was when I bought it. The work they did was NEXT LEVEL. My family room, bathroom and laundry room are the showpiece of my house now, thanks to Major! I can't recommend this team enough. They were thorough, professional, kind and respectful. Every single team member, from the estimate team to the restoration crew to the office staff, treated me with respect and kindness, and the restoration work was completed impeccably. My only regret is that I listened to my insurance company and allowed them to pull in a national company to address the issue. In the future, my first choice will be Major Restoration.Posted on GoogleJack SchatzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We had an air conditioner leak into the wall. Major came out and corrected the problem and installed a new floor as well. Everything about the job was well done. Would definately use them again. Highly recommend.
