Not Your Average Restoration Company

We wanted to know what makes Washington DC’s number one restoration company so special, so we took a few minutes to talk with Vice President of Business Development, Tom Plant.

The first question we had for Tom was what makes Paul Davis Restoration unique compared to their competition in Washington DC. Here’s what he had to say:

“Paul Davis has been around since 1966. Our primary business, literally since 1966, has been to provide emergency services and restoration to people who have suffered water damage, fire damage or storm damage. It’s not as though we came from another industry because we thought this was an interesting business to be in; we’ve always been in this business. We think we understand what the customer really needs, and we think we’re pretty darn good at providing that service.”

Tom went on to say:

“We’ve gotten where we are thanks to a lot of training and putting in the effort to find the right people to work for this company. It definitely takes a special person to get up in the middle of the night and go a long way to help somebody, and not everyone on the street is excited about doing that for a living. We’re very careful about who we hire, and we want to make sure those people are really focused on taking care of our customers.”

We also asked Tom about Paul Davis Restoration’s mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Tom told us:

“This year, we’ve made a concerted effort to actually get more involved in the community. We have some core values that we focus on and talk about on a daily basis. It’s all based on the Golden Rule — treat others like you’d expect to be treated yourself. If we do that on a daily basis with each and every customer, people will really respect that and appreciate that. I’ve always said to our people, ‘Treat each customer as if they’re the only customer.’”

Building Success With the Right Team

When we asked Tom what their secret is to such a strong online reputation at Paul Davis Restoration, he attributed it to the really good people they have on their team who serve their customers the right way. Many of their customers are pretty traumatized, and the team at Paul Davis goes out of their way to provide the best possible service for them. Tom added:

“If we make them happy and they feel good about it, then we do ask them very kindly to give us a good rating…”

Apart from building the kind of online reputation any business would envy, Paul Davis Restoration has spread the word about their service through advertising in Frederick Lifestyle, by visiting potential customers face to face, by posting about interesting topics on Facebook and LinkedIn, and by educating their customers through lunch and learns and seminars. They are also very involved in their community, where they participate in community events, four different Chambers of Commerce, the Rotary Club and nonprofit events to help out the less fortunate.

Every business owner wants to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Paul Davis Restoration has. After we asked what advice he has for them, Tom emphasized the importance of taking care of your customers, being proactive about asking for reviews and building a solid online image.


Congratulations to the team at Paul Davis Restoration for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Tom, for taking the time to speak with us!
