MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION - RUN FROM THIS COMPANY…read more After receiving a bill for over $6000.00 for less than 4 days of fans running in my home 50% of the time, I called to speak with the owner to inquire about the outrageous charges on the bill and charges for unauthorized work performed by her employees, she said she would look into it. Well instead of looking into it, she just emailed me her husbands phone number and said I should talk to him because she wasn't there? I spoke with the husband for about 2 unreasonable minutes, that was a total waste of 2 minutes. Might as well been trying to talk to a wall. Just asked him to revisit the bill and to work with me on this. He refused even though they did work they were not authorized to do and charged for equipment that was not in operation 50% of the time. Overall talk about taking advantage of people. After a water pipe burst and basically flooded the first floor of our home, ruining all wood flooring (4 rooms), tile floors and kitchen cabinets. We contacted a local contractor to help with this devastating and horrifying situation. The contractor removed all visible water from all the floors and the better part of all baseboards effected. Problem #2 We're in the process of selling the home and it's under contract with Buyer. About 3 days into this disaster, we were unfortunately referred to Restoration 1 by our Insurance Adjuster, he felt the home wasn't drying fast enough. We contacted Restoration 1, they responded on the same day. When they arrived, they had me sign documents that was basically held them harmless of any/all responsibility which is understandable when dealing with water, problem was I practically had to beg to get a copy of what I signed, even the Insurance Adjustor requested them twice for me. They don't give you copies of what you sign while they are there. I immediately explained to their employee that I already had a contractor and he would be available to remove any part of the structure that they needed to have removed in order to get the place dry. Well that wasn't well excepted! I made it perfectly clear they are only authorized to remove any remaining baseboards and sheetrock as necessary. They seemed upset that I already had a contractor and the contractor would be doing all the demo. At this point, they kept telling me what they would be able to do, I had to keep telling them "I have a contractor"! It was a very uncomfortable situation. I left and they brought in their equipment, when I returned the next day, they had removed doors and door jams. When asked who authorized them to do this and why they did that, they just said they needed to because they were damaged. Just total disregard for the direction I clearly provided to them. I ask where the door jam were and to return them back to my house. They never did and had multiple excuses. First they said they left them in the garage and they don't understand where they went, then it was we threw them away already and cannot not return them. 50% of the time, the equipment was not in use or stacked in the garage or in a corner somewhere, because the contractor was working in the house. Their bill says the equipment was monitored and in operation, well that wasn't exactly the truth. They had also taped and wrapped plastic around the back of the damaged kitchen cabinet, with no fans blowing in that area (one of the main places water soaked). I do believe plastic normally retains moisture and doesn't allow the area to dry (Thats where they would do their moisture test to show their services were still required and it wasn't ever going to dry.) During one of their visits to the house, their employee had a conversation with the Buyer that is purchasing our home. I was informed by the Buyers Realtor that she couldn't believe what the Restoration 1 employee was telling the buyer about the status of the moisture level in the house and was scaring her to death about mold. This almost cost us the sale of the house and it took quite a bit to convince the Buyer there was no problem with mold in this home. There is absolutely no reason for their employee to be providing private information about my house with anyone other than their contracted client. Needless to say, I asked them to remove their equipment and I had to ask multiple times, they threaten me by stating "They would not provide a certificate that the house was dry and moisture free to my insurance company and insurance adjuster". I felt like they were trying to hold me hostage to keep their equipment onsite for as long as possible. I WOULD DO MINUS STARS FOR RESTORATION 1 IF POSSIBLE!

I was very pleased with the outcome in having Restoration 1 of Conroe do the work on my home…read more An older home, ca. 1980, the plumbing is largely galvanized steel. It developed pin hole leaks, apparently a common occurrence at its age. Fortunately, the major damage was to the garage. Upon inspection, there were issues with the horizontal hot water runs for both the ground and second floor. I had a plumber replace all of that with PEX, which left the sheet rock repair. I had 3 estimates with Restoration 1 coming in at the best price. Shain Mann, the owner, was present each day, ensured quality work and protection of contents throughout the job and was very pleasant to work with. He pointed out some minor mold issues that he corrected along the way. The quality of the sheet rock work and painting was excellent. This included ceilings with texture matching, walls with texture and paint matching, etc. Very nice. I encourage anyone looking for recovery from water damage to check these guys out. My only caution applies to all such service providers: they like the insurance jobs where they can tack on high margin items without challenge from the insurance company. Take the time to closely review each line item of your estimate if you are paying your own way - it can save you $500-800.

Was hoping to get a quote for a hoarded living situation for my good friend. The man from the get go gave me a strange feeling and his demeanor felt positive on the outside up until the point of which he stepped outside to take a call. My daughter informed me the man was next to the car window of my daughter's car loudly talking very hastily about the living situation and the contents of the house. Multiple times complaining about the state of my friend who was with me and her disabled veteran husband. My good friend recommended me this Company and i usually don't like to leave long or negative reviews but my experience with the man was so negative. The only reason i'm giving this two stars is because the woman was gracious enough to call me back and to be completely respectful the entire time even after learning what had happened.

I was dealing with a difficult situation from states away, and felt borderline helpless. From the very beginning, Rick stepped in with compassion, professionalism, and a solutions-focused mindset that immediately put me at ease. He quickly assessed the condition of the home, came up with a clear plan, and communicated with me every step of the way. Rick and his crew went above and beyond, not just cleaning, but completely transforming the house and bringing it back to a spotless, livable condition. Their work was exceptional, and their integrity was just as impressive. Rick's dedication didn't just improve a property, it truly changed someone's life.

That allowed humidity into the walls and caused mold and paint blistering around my front entry door. I turned again to YELP to locate a company to remediate the results and find the cause or source of the problem. Alan's Restoration had the highest number of 5-star reviews so I took a chance and contacted them - now wary of the highly rated YELP reviews. Turns out this outfit is worth their 5-stars - and then some. EXCELLENT customer service including accurate and frequent communication, fast response, quick turnaround, friendly people and most important - when a substantial problem (that they did not create) developed during the project - they came back after completion and corrected it the next day. And I'm sure it was probably at their expense. Not many companies like this around anymore. I know that for sure from nearly 70 years of experience with 50 in project management. It's a real crap shoot these days when contracting with anyone on YELP or pretty much anywhere else, as I unfortunately found out with that cable company that caused this entire problem. So, I could not rate this company any higher and I recommend them more than any other I've dealt with in many decades. They yanked my bacon outa' the frying pan on this one.
