About Our Disaster Restoration Company

Royal Plus, Inc. was shaped long before it became a company, beginning in the childhood of our founder and President, Matt Odachowski. At just nine years old, Matt experienced firsthand how devastating disasters can be when a defective stove caused a fire that destroyed more than half of his family’s home in Baltimore, Maryland. Rather than walk away, his family rebuilt the home themselves and eventually sold it. That experience sparked a lifelong understanding of resilience, rebuilding, and hands-on problem solving.

The next chapter took place in Harford County, Maryland, where Matt’s parents purchased a foreclosed, half-built house at auction. Together, the family completed the structure and fully renovated the home. Years later, they took on an even larger challenge, building a house from the ground up on a plot of land in Ocean Pines, Maryland. Summers and winter weekends were spent constructing the home as a family, reinforcing the values of hard work, perseverance, and craftsmanship that would later define Royal Plus.

While helping with these projects, Matt also worked various jobs. During high school, he cleaned carpets for work in Bel Air, Maryland. By age 16, he had saved enough money for what he thought would be his dream car, a 1964 Mustang. That dream changed when his employer decided to leave the industry and offered to sell Matt the carpet cleaning equipment. Faced with a choice between the Mustang and an opportunity to start his own business, Matt chose the equipment. His first work vehicle became a red Chevette, modified to hold carpet cleaning machines. In 1983, Royal Plus Carpet Cleaners was born.

The word “Plus” quickly took on deeper meaning. Royal Plus expanded beyond carpet cleaning into flooring, plumbing, and HVAC services. In 1987, Matt’s future wife, Denise Odachowski, joined the company. She became Vice President of Royal Plus and helped grow and strengthen the family-owned business. As customer needs evolved, particularly following hurricanes and floods, Royal Plus expanded further into disaster restoration.

Today, Royal Plus, Inc. is a full-service disaster restoration company with eight locations along the East Coast. Our two largest facilities, located in Snow Hill, Maryland, and Winter Springs, Florida, total more than 220,000 square feet. Royal Plus is a licensed General Contractor and Home Improvement Contractor and holds occupational licenses or certificates of authority in nearly all of the contiguous 48 states.

We continue to grow on the strong foundation built by Matt Odachowski and guided by our mission, values, and a dedicated team of professionals who are committed to helping communities recover and rebuild when it matters most.
