Allow us to re-introduce ourselves.
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably checking out the new look and trying to learn a bit more about who we are. First off, welcome.
I’m Matt, and I was born and raised here in Cranbrook. Growing up, the Paulson name always meant something. It stood for hard work, doing right by people, and being there when it counted. That’s what it still means to me today. Before I got into restoration, I worked in a heavy-duty industry. It was tough, demanding work, but it never felt like I was helping anyone in a meaningful way. What we do here is different. When someone’s dealing with a flood or a fire, they’re often feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Being able to step in, calm things down, and start putting their life back together—that’s what keeps me going.
Paulson is still very much a local company. We’re your neighbors, your friends, your hockey teammates. We know this town, and we care about it. At the same time, being part of the Pro-Claim Group means we’ve got a little extra horsepower behind us. We’ve got access to great tools, smart systems, and a support network that helps us raise the bar while staying true to who we are.
Cranbrook’s home, and we’re proud to be here for it.
Paulson exists to restore, lives, the planet an communities. At Paulson Fire & Flod, our purpose goes beyond restoring buildings – we restore what matters most.

We’re not just repairing property; we’re helping people rebuild their lives. By restoring the places they call home or the businesses they rely on, we return a sense of security, comfort, and peace of mind to families, employees, and communities.

We are making a meaningful and measurable impact on the environment. By identifying and addressing our largest sources of CO2 emissions, we are actively reducing our carbon footprint. Through initiatives like diverting debris from landfills, cutting waste, and adopting sustainable practices, we’re leading the way toward a greener future for our industry and our planet.

Communities are at the heart of what we do. Whether we’re helping families return home, restoring businesses that bring people together, or supporting local organizations, we strengthen bonds and create lasting progress. Our goal is to leave communities better than we found them—fostering connection, collaboration, and a brighter future.
The work we stand behind, every single day.

Learn More Here! When someone calls us, they’re usually having one of the worst days of their life. We get that. We listen first, then we get to work. Every person on our team is here because they care about doing good work and about the people we’re doing it for. We don’t cut corners. Whether it’s a flooded basement or a full rebuild, we hold ourselves to a standard we’d want if it were our own home. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we hire, how we train, and how we show up every day. Our crew is what makes this work. We take care of them so they can take care of you. We hire good people, give them what they need to do their best, and make decisions that put them first — because that’s what puts you first too. We’re always looking for better ways to do things. Faster drying, less waste, smoother rebuilds. We don’t do things a certain way just because that’s how they’ve always been done. If there’s a better approach, we’ll find it. We live here too, and we want to keep it worth living in. That means reducing what we send to the landfill, cutting emissions where we can, and moving our fleet to electric vehicles. Restoration doesn’t have to come at the environment’s expense. Cranbrook and the East Kootenays aren’t just where we work. They’re where we live, where our kids go to school, where we coach and volunteer. Giving back isn’t something we add on. It’s part of who we are.

I first met Robert Paulson in 2019. We sat down, shared stories, and talked about why we do this kind of work. Right away I could tell he was the real deal. He cared deeply about people, about this community, and about doing things the right way. That kind of leadership is rare.
When Robert decided it was time to step away from the industry, he told me he believed we were the right people to carry on what he had built. That trust meant a lot to me. And while the road hasn’t always been perfect, I’m proud to say we’re doing exactly what he hoped we would.
Paulson Fire & Flood still feels like Paulson. The heart of the company is alive and well, thanks to folks like Matt and Shandi. They’re from here, they know the community, and they care about the people they serve. That matters.
At Pro-Claim Group, our purpose is to restore lives, the planet, and communities. Paulson lives that purpose every day here in Cranbrook. This work isn’t just about fixing damage. It’s about helping people through incredibly difficult moments and making sure they feel supported along the way.
That’s what Paulson does. And we’re proud to support them.
