24/7 emergency response for water, fire, mold and storm damage with full-service reconstruction led by Owner/Operator Gregg Garland.
Paul Davis Restoration of Southeast MO, Carbondale & Paducah will open on October 17, 2025, bringing around-the-clock property damage restoration to homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Cape Girardeau MO, Carbondale IL, and Paducah KY. From day one, the new franchise will provide 24/7 emergency response support by trained technicians and project managers who guide customers through mitigation, cleanup, and potential reconstruction. The team’s operating principle is simple and steady: restore property and peace of mind with care, clarity, and consistent communication.
The franchise will respond to water, fire, smoke, mold, and storm damage events. Emergency crews will stabilize loss sites, begin mitigation, and coordinate the transition to reconstruction when needed. Services are designed for both residential and commercial properties, with scheduling built to minimize disruption and downtime. The coverage area includes communities throughout Southeast Missouri as well as nearby parts of Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky.
The operation is structured to keep customers informed at every step. A single point of contact will explain the process in plain language, provide frequent updates, and coordinate trades so that property owners understand what is happening and when. The team strives to connect quickly after the initial call and to mobilize on-site within hours where conditions allow, helping limit secondary damage and move projects forward as efficiently as possible.
Leadership
Owner and General Manager Gregg Garland will lead a locally owned and operated team focused on compassion, craftsmanship, and accountability. Garland and his staff emphasize responsiveness and over-communication so that families, business owners, and adjusters have the information they need during stressful moments.
