What recent reviews say

Absolute's work quality divides reviewers sharply. When staff engage directly on restoration jobs-flood response, mould remediation, water damage-they often earn praise for attentiveness and organization; technicians like the team receive specific credit for careful, detailed work and communication. Yet this praise is overwhelmed by sustained complaints about reckless driving by company vehicle operators, a problem multiple reviewers say has persisted for nine years.

Critical concerns emerge around restoration outcomes too. One condo project receiving $30,000 in insurance funding resulted in separating vinyl flooring and incomplete drywall repair; the project manager dismissed concerns and stopped responding after the third failed attempt. The split rating (53% five-star, 41% one/two-star) and volume of safety-focused criticism suggest internal consistency issues and possible culture misalignment between field crews.

Watch-outs
