They contacted me promptly, sent a crew quickly. The crew explained their recommended approach in detail, and the schedulers followed up with me while the job was in process. We were kept in the loop the whole time. Easy and well-coordinated followup visits to check the progress of drying things out, and retrieve their equipment. Some minor snafus with post-project email communication- sounded like a system email problem- but it was resolved in time, and didn't impact the quality of the work. Strong recommend.

When…read morethey sent us the demo invoice it included visits to "monitor the drying equipment" that never happened. When we tried to move things forward with the company, the representative blatantly lied about previous conversations and requested next steps. We are now shifting to have other companies bid on this project, meanwhile our roof is leaking and we have no drywall and insulation in our living room.

Threw out 20+ bags of debris in my backyard. The insurance did not make payment until 4 months later. I gave him his cut of $19000 which he came immediately to pick up the check. He threw out the debris 1 month later. The debris attracted many rats in my backyard, and my lawn was destroyed. I kindly asked Kevin to fix my lawn. He said he would. This was back in June of 2024. I called him multiple times, he would no longer answer or return my calls. It is May 2026 and my lawn still has not gotten repaired. Kevin fix my lawn now!

We…read morehave had the most agonizing experience and now need to go through it all again because they did not restore our home, instead they damaged it and left work unfinished, abandon the job. Total scam artists, shotty work, unprofessional unskilled workers, invalid workers, constant deceit, misleading, acts of fraud, website is 100% misleading. Icing on the cake - insurance referred us to them so we thought we were in good hands. Just trying to save someone else the hardship.

So we have had a sewage backup in my home and unfortunately my homeowners told me they work with…read morethis company called national catastrophe. I said ok I looked at that review my insurance adjuster had issued and part of the check belonged to me. They had an addendum for the opening and closing of the concrete which I believe was $2300. John turner said I should hand him the check plus my deductible and if there was anything left when they were done I'd get my portion of the check back via check or cash (strike 1) All the floor got cleaned the paneling and drywall cut, I'm assuming the framing cleaned as well. Concrete poured, dumpster filled. Dehumidifier going. I received check from insurance company and told john turner I had to send it which I overnighted it to my mortgage company and he said and we gonna keep charging and keep going. Friday was the last day their crew was here, Saturday they poured concrete (paid $700 for outside concrete guy, (said concrete would be completely dry I. 24-36 hours) charged me $1000 for making a phone call) nobody came Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Monday then a lone woman came prolly to clean up dust from concrete work. Nobody told me nothing that nobody was coming out for over a week. Strike 2 and 3. This Job started end of October my house is flipped upside down inside out. Their crew I understand in and out they propped screen door open but for like 3 days while taking out trash left the prop on and unfortunately bent my rear screen door. I'm hoping they sell the door closer at Home Depot because it's completely bent. I told them if they are waiting for the check to complete the job then don't come back. I don't pay my auto mechanic before they do repairs. I don't pay carpet cleaners before they clean carpets. Why would I pay for a $19,000 job + after deductible when the demo isn't even completed. Hell they didn't even tear the carpet off the stairs. I'm sure I paid for the dumpster. I received check on Saturday deposited it cleared on Wednesday. John turner picked up check for the demo work they did (over $7000) picked up check and told my wife the dumpster was being picked up tomorrow. Is that his call? Or is it because he was fired for job abandonment without telling homeowners hey we're not coming back for over a week (not the week of thanksgiving probably 2nd week in November) Don't get me wrong they did a phenomenal job with the demo work. Just to much negatives to continue with this company. I got guys coming out to hang drywall at $16 a sheet. Flooring im gonna do as well as painting. Gonna have to order a new dumpster and pay for another 1 because NatCat thinks my adjuster is their liaison and my adjuster is gonna contact me. You'd think you open your home to this company and homeowners have your company here when homeowners aren't home but do not have the decency to say hey Mr---- or Mrs ----- we ain't gonna be here next week. I got nothing but crickets. Then once paid they call to pickup dumpster and yet leave garbage bags of clothes trashed still in basement.

They subcontract out several of your projects bexuaee they don't have the man power. Anyways if you want the owner wife showing up to pack out your belongs in a Porsche Taycan then this is the company to hire. ( that was a red Flagg). She was nice and her work crew was better than the basement group staff. Then they will loose your inventory Sept 2022 request to return all my stuff back and return it in pieces 2 years later. Call them or email and you get responses back months later. And then no communication till they take you to civil court. While I was nice and gave them 35 k to start the job with one page invoice. Then the insurance company is telling me my deductible was placed under one of there sub contractors they had our contents removed. What a joke. Well if you have a fire and want a company that hires people than have poor work ethic this is them. We terminated them because of gross mis -management. Asking to move back in our home and the owners decides to go to Poland. Then when they return to they used the excuse they were @ there lake house. While State Farm left us @ the hotels. Moving forward. They never gave itemized bills just money they could attempt to extract from State Farm. Be weary of what u sign with them. Also look up how many people they have take to civil court. I have videos and pictures from our surveillance caneras of the staff coming around after 10 am. Taking long lunches in the park. Sitting idlinggggg g the master group trucks. Coming back in the house after lunch work for about less then hour and then head back to Barrington because of traffic delays. Keep away from this company. Billing !!! they will attempt to bill your insurance and if the insurance denies them they will go after you. Without even provide a billing of what they actually did. They will damage your belongings more so than any natural damages such as a fire in a home. If you value your home than there is no value to this restoration company.

Mike from ServPro was incredibly quick to respond to our inquiry, we him and his team at the apt, we went through and let them know what needed deep cleaning and they even disposed of some items left by the tenant. Mario was the team leader and he was extremely responsive and let us know how the progress was going. When we checking in to see the progress, the ozonator they used completely removed the cigarette smoke smell. From ceiling to floors - the team cleaned everything and made the unit look and smell brand new. We HIGHLY recommend working with Mike and Mario's team. They quoted us a fair price and that was the price we paid - no hidden fees. We were 1000% happy with their work.

So, my story is that I am a single home owner and I have a lot of little to-do's and I want 1 single source as my go-to. I was skeptical that BDK would actually want to take on my small jobs and to my surprise, Brad and I were able to work out a pricing and work arrangement that will allow me to get things done on my budget and timeline. I am impressed with Brad and his business acumen, and while I have not had any work done yet, I trust that all will go well and that I will update my review to 5 stars. You know, with all the online resources it is actually harder than ever to find a contractor who is willing to do little things. I have emailed and talked to a half dozen contractors who want to charge a lot for minimal jobs. Finding a contractor of quality whom I can trust is a big undertaking, so I feel so good going into this relationship with BDK.

It's now June 16th and they have not been back to put everything together. We call repeatedly and are told that Jeff will return our phone calls and never hear back. They sent out a floor guy but he can't do anything until the cabinets are installed. Servepro kept telling us they can't do anything until floors are installed. Now they say they are waiting on a cabinet but I am confident nothing is happening. I used servepro at the recommendation of an amazing plumber as I was told servepro handles everything beginning to end and it would be less stress. Well it's been more stress than ever and here I am with a torn apart space one week before having 14 people stay at my house. I haven't been able to work efficiently as I walk through this space daily to get to my work supplies and my kids can't use their play-space as it's next to all of this torn up stuff. We have a counter and sink just laying in the middle of where they normally play/watch tv. I can't recommend based off our experience.
