There were surprises along the way (e.g., missing chunks of foundation as a result of previous retrofits) and things beyond the actual foundation (unpatched holes in the bottom exterior walls). Action Restoration went above and beyond to resolve my issues and it is amazing how warm the upstairs floor is now! I cannot say enough about how rare and pleasant it is working with a company that follows through on commitments, answers when you call, 30+ years of expertise, respectful of clients, and, most importantly, human beings that are there to help you, not to take advantage. I give Action Restoration a solid 5-star rating across the board: Communication: 5 stars; Professionalism: 5 stars; Quality of the work: 5 stars; Cleanliness: 5 stars; Overall Experience: 5 stars.

Initial assessment made in June for a two week job and was to be completed by end of August. That…read morewas the pitch by the general manager. Contract signed a few days later stipulating that work would begin before the end of August. Job not started until mid September and still not completed by end of October, 6 weeks later. After contract signed and before work started the project manager said that the job would never be completed in two weeks, however she told me twice that once started her crews would not be pulled off to do other work. There were periods from 3 to 8 days when nobody appeared on site. 25 feet of corner foundation was open to the world and left exposed for a week with some plastic sheets blowing in the wind. Crews did not know from one day to the next if they were returning to my home to continue work. My calls to the front office were received with comments about how crews can't work in the rain ! Retaining walls were not removed but buried just beneath the surface; I stopped one crew from using a Sawzall to cut buried plywood only inches from an underground natural gas line. In frustration I terminated the contract and hired two independents to finish the job. Consequently other contractor schedules were thrown off and ultimately unable to finish work before the winter set in. During the final conversation with the general manager he only said that he would take my complaint as "constructive criticism" never once apologizing for the inconvenience. If you do hire this company to work on your home expect to have them demand a cheque from you every few days for each small step of work they complete. At one point I had an email requesting payment for work no yet completed. I do not recommend this company.

In June 2023, the owner insisted on full payment in cash, along with a guarantee. Once work began, they left my foundation uncovered for 3 months! The owner didn't answer his phone or emails. After 3 months, I finally received a call asking for an additional $20,000! Claiming it was unexpected, which is completely normal in this industry, I refused because I couldn't afford it. The owner refused to reimburse me, and I had to hire a new company. Don't make the same mistake I did; hire another company!
