USAA has this company to use for remediation. Their bid came in very reasonable compared to other remediation companies I had received bids on. They work very well in conjunction with our insurance. We had a father son team come over ( very polite and kind) remove the bottom kitchen cabinets, we had a slab leak earlier in the year. They were very careful to remove and not do any additional damage to the our kitchen. Originally we were anticipating keeping our counter tops so they did accomplish this for us. They cleaned up after each day. Looked spotless for a tear out. Very professional . Although with careful work it did take a little longer than we expected but they were very clean and we really appreciated the cleaning up really well each day they came . We did not use them for the remodel. We had another contractor in line for that job. but I would use them again. If I needed removal and remediation. Easy to work with. read more

Would like to give a big thanks to Luis from Classic Restoration. He and his workers recently completed a project on the lower floor of our home. The work done restored our home to better than it was before. Really appreciate the time spent and the hard work needed to complete the job Thank you very much tv read more

I asked my insurance agent (from Nationwide) what company they use for water restoration services from my washer flooding my bathroom into the downstairs neighbor. She gave me Classic Restoration's contact info. Classic came right away to assess the situation but was slow to do construction and restoration. I had to contact them multiple times after them promising to start and complete work. Tile work in the bathroom where the damage was is STILL not resolved (loose tiles) and restoration construction in the bathroom is poorly done and already falling apart. Multiple attempts to contact them have failed (either no call back or failure to show up). Even though they guarantee their work, good luck contacting them again for any follow-up once they get paid. I'd think twice about using them. read more

Sam did the water mitigation and Luis handled the construction crew. It did take 7 months, but ultimately I was pleased with the quality of work. There were custom tiles that were needed that added to the timeline. Also, the furniture was not set up as requested, but Luis was very responsive and took care of everything himself. Yes, I would recommend them and use them again. read more

Do not use this company. If your insurance wants to use this company, ask them to use another company or take a cash out if they won't change companies and find a reputable company on your own. My experience: I had an AC water leak that blew up into a job where all my floors and some walls and paint needed redone. Asbestos had to be removed. They removed my AC/Heater to remove Asbestos in the closet. They took almost 1 week to get started after the abatement and demo were done. They wasted another week by not returning my calls, emails, or text messages. When they moved my appliances back in, they moved a rat back in with my stove, and my refrigerator was full of mold. They never offered to replace either and started arguing with me about their liability. They now are treating me with a lien if I don't pay the remainder, and they refuse to my central heating unit, which they placed outside along with my other appliances back in during winter. My wife and my two-year-old son had to stay in an air b&b for 2 months only to get moved back in with trash left on the property, damage done to a wall with the move in, mold in our refrigerator, a Rat living in our stove, and no AC or more importantly heat. They would only offer to clean the rat feces out of the stove and offered no other help. Tried to find ways to escape responsibility. I am currently in the process of getting a lawyer to fight them on the lien. I would give them a -5 if I could and normally don't make reviews but if I can save a future consumer from going through what I went through and also fight this contactor who bloated the scope which interns passes on higher insurance fees to our local consumers than it is worth it. If anyone has had a similar experience message me on yelp. Class action might need to be taken on this company. read more

I had to take a moment and write this review for Classic Restoration for the amazing work they did at my apartment. I'm a renter and was introduced to Classic after my property manger brought them in to handle some mold issues at my place. As anyone else would, I had concerns regarding mold exposure. They explained to me the entire process and the steps they would take to make sure my home was secured. The affected area was covered to make sure the rest of my house was not exposed during the mold remediation process. I appreciate the extra steps you guys took and for the 5 star service I received from your company. read more

We had a water pipe burst in our beauty salon that ended up flooding our entire floors and walls. As a business owner it was crucial to find a company who can get the job done quickly and efficiently to get my business back on track. Classic Restoration and Construction was essential in helping me reopen my business and keep my clients happy. The project manager Jose was amazing, he explained the entire process and kept me updated. Great communication and quality work. read more

I was introduced to classic restoration by my home insurance after filing a claim for water damage. The person who assisted me through the entire process was Jose. He was able to explain the entire process and was very informative. Not only did he handle the mitigation portion but also helped coordinated with the pack out company to facilitate moving my belongings. After drying my home they also did the repairs. Left my floors better than how I originally had them. Keep up the good work fellas ! read more

After our pipe burst and caused substantial amount of damages, Gary Marcellus (Estimator) of CRC was hired by our Mercury Homeowners Insurance to perform an Estimate for Rebuild / Reconstruction of my home. He is the best, he arrived on time, he's very polite and sympathetic of our situation. He's also very professional quick and responsive! Unlike, numerous Restoration Companies that we have encountered, they were either late, unresponsive or unreliable. Gary is definitely a great asset to CRC! If we haven't already hired a contractor, we would definitely hire him and CRC. Thank you Gary, for your excellent service! read more

Rigo and team did a great job in working with us in getting our walls and flooring repaired and replaced after flooding issues.

It was a great decision that we acquired the services of Classic Restoration to restore our floors, walls bathroom and cabinets that were damaged by water leaks. Their project manager, Eddie is very professional and knowledgeable with the restoration project. Our favorite part of the entire construction is the bathroom, although they also did well with the painting and remodelling of our cabinets and drawers. If you are thinking of remodelling your home or require restoration of your property I "highly recommend" Eddie, Tony and their excellent and reliable team. They're amazing!

Chris and Daniel are very professional, hard working, and down to earth.i highly recommend their services. Great people.

Classic restoration is very responsive and professional. They mitigated a rain water damage for my house. In the middle of the project I had another pipe burst in the bathroom. They took care of that too. They did a nice job with putting plastic and tape in the right locations so there is no exposure to other rooms/ areas. They definitely know what they are doing. read more

I had water damage. The insurance company sent them. They wanted me to sign a proceed with work authorization but they couldn't even give me an estimate for the soundproofing subfloor. Total bullshit. They will take advantage of you. Beware of this company. Then, j had 1/2" maple flooring yet they wanted to down sell me an engineered flooring product. Not what I wanted and would only increase their profit margin. It appears I can't reply. You only gave an estimate. Which was incomplete. There was no work done so probably no file. Ajay M replied with lies so he can pretend he doesn't know what I'm Talking about. Classic bullshit maneuver. It was Ernesto's estimate. He didn't have a clue what the lightweight concrete subfloor would cost. Yet they wanted me to sign my life away. read more

Awful Quality, general manager didn't care about quality of work after it was finished. I would never hire them again, and urge anyone thinking of hiring Classic Restoration and Construction to think again. They just want your money, and don't care after the work is done. So sad. read more

Classic Restoration & Construction handled the removal of cabinets & flooring after water damage in our unit. They also handled the mold remediation. Jose/the project manager & the de-construction team did an excellent job on our property. I was very pleased with the communication & results of the job. I am hiring them for the re-construction. read more

While I was hospitalized, Jan. 1, 2023 through Jan. 5, 2023, my husband filed the homeowner's insurance claim to repair the ceiling hole that resulted from my fall from our attic. Jon was our assigned contact for the ceiling restoration. When I fell through, it took down the ceiling from part of the dining/kitchen and part of the front entry hallway. They had two different textures and paint finishes. From the start to the finish, Jon was in touch, and after each stage/crew he inspected and took photos of their work. Jon asked us more than once if we were satisfied as the stages were completed. He also asked if the crews cleaned up tidy to our liking after the work day. Since I am currently confined to a wheelchair, Jon made sure we were accommodated along the way with a space for us while the work was done in either room. The ceiling is repaired, and it was a pleasure to work with Jon and the sub-contractors he selected. They were all top notch! read more

We recently experienced main bathroom shower pipe leaks in the walls, flooring and down through the ceiling and walls of the below garage. Classic Restoration efficiently and cleanly demolished our damaged materials and minimized the negative impact to our daily routine. Eddy, our project manage, was very professional, helpful, guiding us through the process from beginning to end. He is customer conscious and a great communicator for both us and our insurance adjuster. We used this restoration opportunity to additionally remodel the entire main shower, bathroom flooring, walls, light fixtures, baseboards, countertop, paint, etc. Our primary construction team, Pedro (supervisor) provided excellent and constant communication. Luis, Edgar and Pedro did exceptional work installing the tile, plumbing, painting, drywall, etc. They were punctual, tidy, considerate. Pride in their craftsmanship and hard work is clearly evident in the finished outcome. It truly was a pleasure to work with their team and hope to do so again in the future. We have already recommended Classic to friends with projects on the horizon. read more

Had to file a claim for a leak in the laundry room. Classic came after the leak was fixed and went above and beyond to get it done. Rigo was excellent and thorough with the work. He was easy to get a hold of when needed and very helpful whenever we had questions. Laundry room turned out better than before. Will be using them in the future and would highly recommend them. Thank you!! read more

Ajay Mody and the Classic Restoration and Construction company has our highest recommendation for the excellent job they did in restoring my home after the bottom floor was flooded from a broken water pipe. Our insurance company did immediate mitigation and gutted the flooded areas. Then they told us to get a contractor to put it back together. Four days after the flood, my husband suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, and I was left with managing the overwhelming, unplanned project. A close friend highly recommended contractor, Ajay Mody, which I called. He came out and met with me and my daughter, and calmly, expertly outlined how he would go about the reconstruction. We greatly appreciated his patient explanations, "education", and support, since we had no background in handling this type of situation. Originally, the insurance company offered only $5,000 to cover what was a $40,000 job. Ajay assured me he could work with the insurance company to bring their reimbursement up to a realistic figure. This took a great deal of his up front time in which he did analyses and prepared reports to justify cost of the work to be done. Ultimately, he was successful, and the work began. He and his foreman, Eddy Perez, organized a careful, hardworking crew to plan and carry out the restoration. Meanwhile, I had to move out a distance away. They brought plans and samples to me for review and authorization, and suggested many creative options. They kept both me and my daughter well informed all the way through the process. I ended up with a dream kitchen, with lots of extra, creative features--much better than the original! The family room and dining rooms were carefully reconstructed, and we were delighted with the results. Ajay and Eddy were always very responsive and prompt in addressing any questions and special requests. We highly recommend their work and service! read more

Classic Restoration and their construction manager Rigo did a fantastic job rebuilding half my home. After 2 water leaks in 6 days (burst pipe and rain leak) and 2 insurance claims they got right to work. My bathroom, laundry room and front closet look better than a brand new build. I'm so stoked with how it turned out after being completely gutted and rebuilt. My living room, ceiling and partition walls also came out and were replaced and painted to match beautifully, even the crown molding, you would never know it was all torn out. If I ever need construction work done again at my place I'll definitely be calling Rigo and his crew Classic Restoration. read more

Thank you so much Eddy for the great communication and making sure we were content with the restoration. I am very pleased with the professionalism. We had very bad water damage and unfortunately didn't find out until it was unsafe, was recommended to call and glad I did. read more

Eddy and team did a great job repairing the water damage at my home! I would definitely use Eddy and team for future construction needs.

We were thrilled with the prompt and professional services provided by Classic Restoration and Construction. Jose was very knowledgeable and professional in helping us through the mitigation process. Chris and Danny were hard working, personable and courteous. I would recommend this company to anyone. read more

I used this company because my insurance company recommended them after a slab leak. I assumed that they would be professional. They were anything but. From dealing with Mike, one of the project managers, he was condescending, flakey, flat out lied to me, and tried to pocket money that was owed to me. To the non licensed, non qualified workers that came into my home. It was a complete joke. Paint dripping down the walls, faucets put on crooked and not even, mirrors barely hanging on the wall, couldn't even secure a towel hook! I had to constantly email the company and talk to the worker about the issues. This went on for close to a month. I was beyond stressed, daily headaches, in and out of a hotel with 3 dogs for a month. At the end I was at my wits end, and on that weekend had somebody professional come over to complete and secure what they couldn't do. Wow, the things he did correctly in a short amount of time, when this company couldn't do it in weeks. I spoke with the manager at the company and tried to explain why I didn't think I should have to pay full price for this job, he threatened to put a lien on my house! Mike showed up at my home a few hours later threatening me with an envelope, telling me that either I come down to the office to sign the check (insurance sent them the check, but my name was also on it) or the next morning I would have a lien on my house. My hands were tied, and once again this dishonest, unprofessional company got away with it again. I've spoken to other people that have had the same experience. I shared everything with my insurance company, and they were sending all the information to the department that hires these companies. I can only hope they no longer use them. If they do, if your insurance company recommends this company, or if you are doing your own research, please save yourself a lot of headaches and don't use this company. If I could do it all over, I would have done things much different from the beginning. read more

We contracted "Classic Restoration and Construction" to complete a "toilet water backup" project for us. Their work and their sub-contractors work was outstanding. The Project Manager, Eddy Perez, was easy to work with, understood our eagerness to return to our home and scheduled the work accordingly. Also, of special note, was "New Generation Contractors" owner Gerardo and his employee's Alex and Giovanni (Gio). Their skills related to drywall repair, tile installation, baseboard installation and painting were exceptional. I would highly recommend them for this type of project. They are at the top of our list for any future work in these areas. HEK read more

I had a water leak between the Bathroom and Closet. I called AAA my Insurance Company and Jose Garcia, CRC, contacted me within 20 minutes of my call to AAA. Jose coordinated all the required Restoration services; Leak Detection, Asbestos Testing, removal of all of the damaged and wet areas. Daniel and team arrived and within two days the area was dried out and ready for repair. A very easy process, great customer service, reliable and answered all of my questions. Great job, Jose and team! I would highly recommend this company. Maria Soto Long Beach, ca. read more

Extremely thorough and friendly service. Did excellent work, and contractors performing the work were friendly and respectful. We originally had another restoration company on site, who, while they may have been great themselves, used pressure tactics and did not explain the process well. Classic Restoration was not like that at all--they did not use pressure techniques, and took the time to answer questions and allow us to figure out how we wanted to proceed with the repairs we needed. Highly recommend them and their team. Eddy was very responsive, and reachable via phone or text. read more

We had a bad leak in our wall where a water pipe broke and leaked slowly and quietly under the bed in one of our offspringer's rooms. When they said "Hey Dad my floor is wet!" i knew we were in for troubles. The insurance co. AAA referred us and we had Dillan out to estimate and he educated us about what would or would not be covered. Very helpful and smart! Job is in progress now, and we are hoping for good outcomes. They will have to remodel 2 bathrooms and fix much of the flooring in our place. Hope this never happens to you or anyone in your family!!! read more

I used these guys after we found a leak in my roof that caused some drywall to ruin. They were at my house quickly and provided a fair estimate for service. We would use them again for drywall services. read more

My elderly relative had an accident and needed some drywall and door jamb repair . CRC was recommended by the insurance USAA. The Lake Forest office took the job. I was on a short timeline to help my relative and fly back home. Jon, the project manager responded right away. He understood my urgency and was so kind to an elderly gentleman. He scheduled his visits when help was in the house, kept in touch frequently, and got the job done quickly and professionally. Raoul did great work and was also super kind and accommodating. I can't say enough about Jon and his magic touch in helping our family. Very well done and thank you! read more

"eddy worked at my house and dis a great job with all repairs, Highly recommend Classic Restoration "

This is a belated review, but I do want to give a shout out to Classic Restoration and Construction from Lake Forest for the great job they did on my house. I had a pipe leak and resulting serious water damage to my kitchen/dining room, including floors, cabinets, walls, baseboards, etc., and Classic did an excellent job of handling the situation and getting it all put back together right. Special kudos to Eddy Perez from Classic who ran the whole thing and was great to work with. read more

I had water damage from my bathroom sink that spread through the house. I was devastated. I had a terrible experience with another company, so my insurance company recommended Classic. Matthew Leonhard and Andrew Doten arrived on the scene and my shattered nerves began to settle. They dried everything out without a hitch. Thank you for help! Next step, reconstruction team...I hope they are just as good as Matt and Andrew. read more

This company was recommended from AAA insurance company after I experienced water damage. The quality of work was horrible, and the job was never completed. Flooring was not installed properly throughout the home (as confirmed by an outside inspector), and they have never owned up to providing a resolution/restitution. The say they will take care of things and then string you along. Bad business! After 6 months of trying to get the company to fix the problem, then being offered a cash out to not have to fix the faulty installation, I was told the project manager Daniel Monroy no longer works there. Had to start all over with Gary Marcellus. Sent all the information requested, photos, outside inspection report, etc. and I am still awaiting a resolution (for almost a year in total!) I would absolutely NEVER EVER hire this company. Not only did they leave my home in worse condition than before the water damage, they refuse to do the right thing and honor their word. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! read more
