We have worked with countless contractors and Ronald by far was the best communicator. He was transparent and very clean and meticulous with his work.

His pricing is fair and we will definitely be working with them for future projects. Thank you R& J Services for your professionalism in this industry. It is refreshing.

If you are one of those unfortunate people out there who happen to own a home and can't call a…read morelandlord to fix your troubles, you tend to rely on certain groups of people to help you out when daily living in your home goes south. Take for instance, a 3-year-old in a 2nd floor bathroom with plenty of toilet paper and a toilet that will not stop running. The power of water is an awesome sight to behold, but when it comes dripping and pouring through your 1st floor ceiling, your shock and awe tends to belong more to the panic variety than wonder and amazement. For those of you who have not had this life experience, I offer these sage bits of experiential wisdom: 1) don't panic, 2) shut off the water, 3) get towels and mops, 4) call a plumber, 5) pray (can't hurt), and 6) call Power Dry. My family was the victim of just such an incident this past week, and needless to say you do feel rather helpless and worried when you see an upstairs bathroom turn into a sequel of "A River Runs Through It". Sooner rather than later, you are going to want to call professionals who can get to scene and help alleviate the moisture problem, for fear of mold setting in. That's where Power Dry comes in. We were fortunate enough to be home when this happened, so the damage was contained fairly readily. Our insurance agent (State Farm) recommended Power Dry, as they were a preferred provider for these types of situations. Although our guys were way over in Missouri on another case at the time we called, they got to our house as quick as possible and were able to start hooking up industrial blowers and dehumidifiers relatively quickly. The whole process probably took just under an hour. They were very methodical and certainly gave the impression that they had seen these situations many times before and knew what to do. The sound of several blowers and dehumidifers can be rather disturbing ... sort of like living on the tarmack at KCI. But you do what you have to do. After 48 hours, they were able to come back and take most of the equipment out, and another 48 hours later we were cleared to have all of the remaining equipment removed. The guys who provided service to us were friendly, knowledgable, and even dealt well with our excited 3-year-old daughter. I don't recommend going out of your way to try and find an excuse to get the Power Dry folks over to your domicile anytime in the foreseeable future, but if you need them, they are a great bunch of guys and ladies to have on your side in a tough situtation. A+++

I have very mixed feelings about Power Dry. We originally hired them for water mitigation after our…read morehome flooded, and that specific team did a great job. Based on that, we hired their restoration department to put our home back together. That was a massive mistake. The restoration process was extremely disorganized. We were promised a project manager to oversee everything, but we had a revolving door of different people. We effectively had to act as our own general contractors, communicating constantly just to ensure the work got done. After the work was finished, the refinished floorboards started lifting. Power Dry dragged their feet for months before coming to look at it, and then completely refused to fix it. They blamed the issue on the 'humidity' in our home--an absurd excuse considering we have lived in this house for 14 years without ever having this issue before. Because they refused to stand behind their work, we withheld our final payment until the floor was fixed. Instead of working with us, they placed a lien on our house. We had to hire an entirely different contractor to fix Power Dry's mistakes. We offered to pay Power Dry the remaining balance minus what we paid another contractor to fix the problem. We ultimately had to hire an attorney to get the situation settled and the lien removed from our property. If you have a flood, their mitigation team is fine. But I would strongly advise against ever using their restoration department.

I hired Rapid Renovations (Ryan Mansfield) to epoxy my front porch and when he came out to bid it…read morehe talked about how good they are doing epoxy coatings. I hired him to do the project a 7'x22' porch with two steps and the start date for the project was late September (awaiting materials) and the actual start date was mid October. After the initial coat the material was wavy and was not a professional job. I sent him pictures and he agreed it has some issues and he would be out to correct it, stating "it will be perfect when I am done and you will be 100% satisfied". After lots of call and messages (him wanting more money to complete the job) Ryan came back out mid December to sand and recoat the porch ( Still has waves after the 3rd coat and demanding the rest of the payment). I didn't pay him the rest because I wanted to see the final outcome still not satisfactory even to the standards he talked about. I have not heard anything back from him sense to see if I was satisfied with the project and it still needs the top coat done (He did leave 2 half gallons of epoxy here). So before you hire this company to do any work for you I would suggest not paying anything upfront and only pay when the job is complete and you are completely satisfied with the work. Pros: Very good talker. Cons: Does not show up on time After payment other clients are more important Asks for more money when he makes costly mistakes Poor communication after job has started doesn't finish the job!
