This may be an ok company if you are paying them directly but, whatever you do... do NOT sign the…read moreform they hand you that basically says "your insurance company will pay us directly, not you".
If you do this, consider it a death sentence to your home.
I had a small water leak in my kitchen. The plumber removed a portion of drywall to find the leak and we saw that we had a spot of mold about the size of a potato.
I called my insurance company and filed a homeowners claim. Elements came out about a week later and said they'd get started the following week.
The first thing they did, was have me sign this form I spoke about. I figured it was standard and that it was just part of the process. I was wrong.
Once I signed, Elements told my insurance company is was a $10,000 job and that they needed to basically destroy a 10x10 foot area in my home... which they did. They did this, solely to scam money out of my insurance company.
When they told me they were going to basically ruin my house, I of course told them "no". Then they told me that once a mold claim is opened on a home, that the home could not be sold unless the mold claim was officially certified / closed. Basically, this meant that I HAD to let them ruin my home, or else I wouldn't be able to sell my house in the future. This was a lie but, I didn't know any better at the time.
Anyways, they thoroughly ruined my whole kitchen. Removed 2 walls, ripped up carpet, removed tile and busted my kitchen cabinets and ruined my counter tops. All this for a spot the size of my hand, that could have been fixed in about 5 minutes with some anti-microbial spray.
5 months later, my kitchen still isn't back in order. I had multiple contractors come out and none could match my existing cabinets or flooring.
The worst part is that the Elements workers were so sloppy, that they damaged parts of my house that weren't even in the work area. The bumped equipment into my walls, they banged up my front door and they ruined my floors in multiple spots OUTSIDE OF THE WORK AREA. When I called them about it, they just ignored me (since my insurance company was paying them, I had no leverage and they didn't care how they treated me)
So now I've spent thousands to fix my kitchen ... my cabinets no longer match, the guys at Elements broke my granite counter tops in multiple spots, and my floors need to be complete redone... all because Elements wanted a bigger check from my insurance company.
Companies like this, are the reason the cost of insurance is so high. These people are professional scam artists.
