GUS Welcomes Paulson Fire & Flood
Strengthening Restoration Services Across the Kootenays
Cranbrook, BC (Oct. 1, 2025) – Paulson Fire & Flood, a trusted name in disaster restoration since 2002, is officially joining the GUS network. Based in Cranbrook, the company has built a strong reputation across the Kootenays for 24/7 emergency response, certified expertise, and community-focused service.
Paulson provides fire and water damage restoration, mold remediation, disaster clean-up, and general contracting. Its fully IICRC-certified team of dedicated local professionals is recognized for technical excellence, attention to detail, and a people-first approach to restoration. The company’s “dry-first” philosophy reduces repair times, limits demolition, and diverts waste from landfills, creating a faster, greener, and more cost-effective restoration process.
“We have been supporting communities across the Kootenays for many years and we are proud of the work we do here,” said Matt Currie, Project Manager at Paulson Fire & Flood. “Cranbrook is home, and joining the GUS network allows us to stay true to our roots while collaborating with other respected restoration companies nationwide. It is not about changing who we are, but about growing, learning from each other, and continuing to show up for our community.”
Paulson’s involvement in the community includes support for the local hockey team, contributions to the children’s hospital auxiliary booklet, funding the Lorena Mockos Memorial Scholarship, and participation in local events. The company is also working toward several partnerships with local pet rescue societies.
“Paulson Fire & Flood perfectly embodies what we look for in our partners: technical expertise, integrity, and community commitment,” says Jaime Smith, Director of Franchise Development at GUS. “Their addition to the network allows us to strengthen our presence in the Kootenays and continue building on a solid foundation of trust, professionalism, and Canadian leadership.”
