TLDR - They wanted to tear up 1/4 of my house for 4-5 gallons of water. You decide if that sounds…read morereasonable. I had a high-pressure fire extinguisher leak from a pin hole opening in my bathroom that lasted less than 30 minutes Saturday evening. 125psi through a 1mm hole hurts when you try to deflect the water with your hands! But I lucked out! The water hit the back wall over the tub. What was on the tile was mopped up quickly and what made it to the downstairs ceiling exited from two light fixtures. Thanks to the miracle of Chat gpt, I'm confident that a total of 8 to 10 gallons of water left the pipe. I estimate half of it went down the drain or was mopped up (this is important later). Omar and Leo from express restoration arrived in less than 2 hours. They were professional and set up three dehumidifiers (bathroom, kitchen and pantry), marked the affected areas, explained the next steps and went over restoration scenarios. They left saying we need to wait and see how bad it is after a few days. Had the rest of the experience went as well, they would have gotten 5 Stars. Omar and Giovanni showed up early Monday. Giovanni, the project manager looked at the three areas and went straight into explaining the work they were going to do. Remove the downstairs ceiling (10x10 in the kitchen and 4x10 in the pantry), take all the flooring out of the bathroom and the bathtub to expose the back wall (6x15), remove closet carpet because the carpet got a little wet. ALL BEFORE TAKING ANOTHER MOISTURE READING. He said they would get started right away with the demo. I asked him to press pause and start with reevaluating the walls and inspecting for damage. His eyes went through a reboot. Trust me when I say this, except for the 8"x 8" hole cut by the sprinkler repair man, there was ZERO damage to the walls. They were not soft, not bulging, no paint falling off a single wall. In my heart of hearts, I believe had I not said anything, they would have torn my house up without taking another reading. Omar came in and I explained to him that I was skeptical of the extent of work they were trying to do. He took out his meter and used the surface touch function on the walls in the affected area. They also used their thermal camera that showed water spots in expected localized areas. And here's the problem. I was advised by friends in the restoration business. Two of them independently said that the company should test every wall with the two prongs that puncture the wall, not the surface touch meter before deciding to cut into anything. That didn't happen until I said I wanted that reading. My friends also said that since there was no visible damage or long-term leak, the measure of whether or not my walls needed to be opened up to dry should be a comparison of how the walls were drying. Although Omar and Leo marked the walls with tape during their initial response, Omar chose to test the lowest parts of the wall, where water would normally drain and emphasized that wet reading. When I asked about other parts of the walls, the areas that were wet Saturday, the readings showed that the walls were drying. In the ceiling, he tested around the fixtures where water escaped and a visible drywall tape seam. Again, my friends told me that those areas would obviously read wet since that's where the water escaped. At that point, I told Omar and Giovanni that my friends in their business advised me that since there wasn't visible damage, and I didn't have a long or active leak, my walls would dry on their own, especially considering there was probably less than 5 GALLONS of water that escaped into the house and we live in California, not Florida. Instead of demolishing the bathroom and kitchen ceiling, Omar started mentioning less invasive options. He wanted to lift up the carpet and open a wall adjacent to the bathtub to see the wall behind it. In the kitchen, he said he could start with a 2'x 4' exploration hole around the drywall tape to see how wet the area was and allow for more airflow. To be honest, had he started with that, I probably would have a large hole in my kitchen and ripped up closet carpet and wall right now. But it still didn't sit right. The carpet felt like i just had it shampooed. It was in no way damp or dank. And a 2x4 hole seemed awfully big for simple ventilation. My friend had water come out a recessed light two years ago. Her repair company cut an 18"x18" hole in the ceiling and formed a wind tunnel with a fan and plastic. When I mentioned that, Omar said that would also work just as well. His justification for the hole, even though the walls should dry, was that the wood is still wet and that why I need to open up the walls. I turned down the service and sign the memo saying so. It's Wednesday. The carpet is already completely dry. I got a meter from Home Depot and I'm measuring the drywall readings and watching the affected area shrink daily.

Bello Express Carpet Care was recommended to me by another carpet cleaner who unfortunately does…read morenot service my area. They were professional on the phone and carefully went over my expectations as well as the service they could provide. Few things that I noticed: 1. Professional attitude - Bello arrived on time and after the initial walkthrough, he went over the entire process. He went over different types of carpet cleaning they provided (standard vs. deep clean), how long the process will take, how long to dry, face masks/shoe covers they'd use (he even offered me some shoe covers!) 2. Competitive pricing - pricing was very competitive from the quotes I received from other cleaners. Bello also provided a breakdown of the cost and answered any questions I had. I appreciated that he was upfront with the costs and there were no hidden/unexpected charges at the end. 3. They have a portable machine! I was worried that the truck mounted machine wouldn't be able to reach my unit so they were kind of enough to bring a portable machine (does require extra charge though). 4. Thorough and careful - the team brought corner protectors so that their machines did not damage the walls/paint. They also took the time to wipe up any wet spots left by the machine on the non-carpeted areas. I am very satisfied with their professionalism and quality work. I'll be recommending them to anyone I know who needs their carpets cleaned and will definitely use their services again!

Very disappointing experience…read more Communication was poor throughout the project. I rarely knew when they were coming or what the timeline looked like unless I asked. The biggest issue is that they damaged a custom cabinet during removal and were unable to match it when replacing it. Their first attempt was a plywood cabinet that looked nothing like the surrounding cabinetry. The second attempt used solid wood but still didn't match. They eventually brought in another cabinet maker and got closer, but the replacement still very obviously does not match the rest of my kitchen. Now I will have to hire another company to redo the work to get a proper match. Their solution was offering 20% off the invoice, which doesn't come close to covering the cost of fixing the problem. If you're installing all new cabinets from a wholesaler, their work might be fine. But if you have custom or high-end cabinetry that needs to match, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

They came and removed the affected walls' baseboards and carpet ends, and set up some drying and dehydration machines for the affected areas, which we had running over the course of 3 days. Afterwards, they merely came and removed the machines, and did a check to confirm that the area was dry enough. The job should only have been worth a small amount for the labor involved, plus the rental costs for the machines. But they charged us a whole $2,000, and they didn't even put any baseboards or carpet ends back in, saying that repairs were not a part of this work order, and that we'd have to pay for a whole new work order in order to do so! We had originally only agreed to pay $2,000 because we thought it was only reasonable that everything would be put back in place and repaired at this price point. The problem we have here is that the company never clearly and explicitly communicated with us to ensure we understood that repairs were not included before we signed to agree to the work order, which they would have done if they were an honest company. We had only received an email that briefly mentioned the lack of repairs involved in the job. When we asked for an itemized cost breakdown and expressed our disappointment, they only sent us a very general report of the work they had done, and had the audacity to claim that it is unfair to them for us to say and ask for these things! We now still have missing baseboards in the rooms that they worked on and the carpet ends are still removed in the closet, as we have not reinstalled them yet. If this were a company that cared about customers, they would have ensured our understanding of the limits of the job before signing. They obviously did not do so, and it seems like such omissions and unclear communications could have been done intentionally to try and get as much money from us as possible, abusing our lack of understanding. I do not recommend hiring this company, as they appear to not respect customers and be deceptive in their communications and practices in order to try and rip them off.
