What recent reviews say

Most customers report fast response and professional crews who communicate clearly and deliver quality work. A significant minority, however, describe abandoned jobs with no follow-up contact after initial inspection or crew work, and at least one reports a technician's mischaracterization of damage may have resulted in a denied insurance claim.

Praised for
  • quick emergency response
  • professional and friendly staff
  • thorough work and attention to detail
  • good communication and daily updates
Watch-outs
  • jobs left unfinished without follow-up
  • poor communication and unreturned calls
  • site report inaccuracies affecting insurance claims
fast-responseprofessional-crewthorough-dryingpoor-communicationincomplete-workcourteous-staffsaved-property
Best for: homeowners with flooded or fire-damaged basements who value quick response and transparent communication during repairs.
Think twice if: jobs may stall after initial crew work; follow-up contact cannot be assumed even if damage assessment was completed and removal begun.

Strengths

  • rapid emergency dispatch
  • multi-trade crews (plumbing, painting, flooring in-house)
  • daily updates and transparent process explanation
