I've been meaning to update this review for four years. I hope you will read this entire addendum…read more My experience with this company made a complete U-turn by the end making me wish i had called a friend/ contractor trust to get a personal referral. Or taken the route I detail at the end of this addendum. The cost for this company's work was enormous and inflated because they assume insurance will pay for the work. Actually all the companies that were involved had inflated costs because they assume insurance will pay. My insurance company would not cover the leak. When i contacted companies mentioned in this review being Ultra Dry with that information, without fuss they discounted their services to what i thought was a reasonable charge, but their portions of the job were small compared to Ultra Dry, which did a lot more work. Sean fougt my request to reduce the fee tooth and nail and was not friendly about it. I went over the detailed invoice and, luckily I paid some attention to the equipment they were using and the things they did. I could tell right away the invoice was not only inflated but a boilerplate invoice they probably use for all jobs and hope no one will notice. This is probably why insurance sm costs are so high. My insurance company was State Farm. To their discredit, not only did they resist opening a claim as mentioned in the original review, but they did not send an appraiser out for two weeks. As old as i am, I had never dealt with a homeowner claim and did not realize this was unusual, plus all the companies led me to believe insurance would cover it, so I did not push. ( We could have packed up our own bathroom and small office rather than incur that charge!) To the credit of the appraiser, who felt badly he had to deny the claim, he offered to review the Ultra Dry invoice and, from his inspection under the house and in the bathroom, told me what had, and had not, been done that they were billing me for. It matched up well with my own assessment, giving me more confidence to negotiate with Sean, the owner. It's been four years so I don't recall if he threatened small claims court, but I knew that was an option for me. In the end he cut the bill down enough for me to relent and pay it. I hope this will warn others off and cause anyone seeing my original, glowing review to realize it won't be a fair or good experience unless your insurance pays it all. During this process I discovered there are private insurance adjusters who have worked for insurance companies and know how the industry works. I would contact one of those First and have them come out. They know how companies asses claims and can help you report the event in language that may have a better chance of getting it covered. In future I would gladly pay for this out of my pocket because the bathroom cost over $22,000 not including the abatement work done before it which i never added up because of the trauma. I apologize for taking so long to add this addendum and to anyone who used this company only to be ripped off because of my initial review.

I should probably add the Orange Restoration crew to our Christmas Card list we see these guys so…read moremuch. This time around we worked with Pedro and Rosa on remediation needs due to a significant leak in our condo that the HOA never took care of properly more than 8 years ago (follow up with your HOA people! learn from my mistakes!). The guys moved our furniture, gutted out place, and made sure it was ready to pass a mold inspection by Hovey Environmental. Plastic was put down, furniture covered, etc. Then came "Team Dean" again, with Luis, Alberto, and Hermino handling the rebuilding of our floors, ceiling, paint, etc. And above all, estimates were provided and other insight for our insurance company and HOA battles. If you've never been down that road, this stuff matters. For those hesitant, I'm going to note that we didn't supervise the team. This was our second rodeo with them (first was with the handsome Dylan two years ago) and we had total trust letting them come and go as needed. I hope you never have a need for Orange Restoration, but if you do, trust that they're going to do a solid job.

I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with Olympia. From the very beginning,…read morethere were red flags -- hidden fees, poor communication, and what I now believe were deliberate attempts to manipulate documents. After reviewing the paperwork, I noticed discrepancies that were never disclosed or explained -- including an overcharge of $1,557.56 for four days of dehumidifier. When I raised concerns, I was met with vague excuses and zero accountability. One individual in particular, Alex, stood out for all the wrong reasons. His behavior was unprofessional at best and downright unscrupulous at worst. He gave off a strong "shady alley guy" vibe -- dishonest, throwing out false estimates, and down right sleazy. I've since learned that others have had similarly negative experiences with this company, and it's clear this isn't just a one-off issue -- it's a pattern. Due to the severity of the situation, we are currently filing a dispute with several entities to formally address Olympia's unethical conduct. To anyone considering doing business with Olympia: be extremely cautious. Double-check everything. Get all agreements in writing and reviewed independently. In my opinion, their practices are deceptive and unethical. STAY AWAY AND HIRE A DIFFERENT PROVIDER. I attached their explanation to their $1,557.56 four days of dehumidifier and the invoice
