We had a fantastic experience with Rapid Response Restoration. Last fall, we experienced an…read moreemergency plumbing failure that lead to our finished basement floor being dug up to conduct the repairs. Our insurance made us whole on the plumbing work, but fought us on restoring our basement back to its previous finished state. This is where Rapid Response came in. After reaching out to Rapid Response and hearing our situation, Daryl reassured us this is their speciality and they will work with our insurance. From there, Rapid Response took this nightmare off our hands and communicated clearly through the entire process. Daryl was on the case and received approval from insurance to replace our entire floor. Seth and team worked quickly and did a fantastic job. Becky and her guys arrived promptly every day to complete the work, kept us informed of the status of our project at all times, and caused minimal impact to our daily life. We were even able to easily maintain our work schedules while the repair work happened. We could not be more grateful we found Rapid Response. They truly lived up to their name and made what would otherwise have been a bear of a project into something much more manageable. Now, our finished basement looks beautiful, and we'll absolutely think of Rapid Response in the future when we need other home improvement or repair work done. Thanks, Rapid Response Team!

I did a little research and found Rapid Restoration through their numerous 5-star reviews on Yelp and other websites and reached out to Daryl and a few other companies to see what it would take to get our house back into shape. Right from the first moment on the phone I knew that Daryl and Rapid Restoration would be the company we would go with. He gave me a thorough education about the process and gave me helpful advice right from the first moment. His help over the phone was always clear and accurate. He set us on the right path immediately. Seth and his crew were in our house within 48 hours to do the mitigation and boy were they thorough. The floor was pulled up, the room was disinfected and dried. And all the while, Daryl and Seth made sure that we had the documentation and backup necessary to communicate with our homeowners insurance company. With the mitigation done, the crew came back a few weeks later to actually do the repairs and get our floors back to the condition they were in before. This was equally impressive. The workmanship was truly beautiful. Seth has a great eye for design and color. Everything matches and looks beautiful. Every transition and grade was thought through and installed with accuracy and quality. Overall, youhear about the nightmares of dealing with homeowners insurance. There was NONE OF THAT. The Rapid Restoration crew were so buttoned up and knowledgable that we had literally no conflict or pushback from our homeowners insurance company. If you've had a similar issue in your own home - don't even think about it. Just call Daryl and the Rapid Restoration crew. I recommend them WITHOUT RESERVATION.

The next day Doug came by with a camera and showed us that there were tree roots in the pipe. He was able to schedule service for the next day. So far so good. The team came out the next morning and said that if everything went smoothly they would be done by about 2:30. Well, everything did not go smoothly. They dug up our front yard and said that there was nothing wrong with the pipe where Doug had told them to dig. They sat around for an hour, waiting for Doug to get back to them. When he did, they were told that the clog was much farther away from the house than where they dug and had to keep digging closer to the sewer clean out. They did not finish until 9:00pm. The problem is that while they spent half the day digging in the wrong spot, they damaged bushes and knocked over a tree that were nowhere near the clog. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. In their response, they said that the pipe took an unexpected turn. As you can see from the attached pictures, the pipe was perfectly straight; Doug and the team just miscommunicated about the location to dig. I know that in this kind of a job, damage to the landscape is unavoidable, and they are not responsible for the unavoidable damage, but because of their miscommunication, there was a great deal of avoidable damage. I have asked them to reimburse me for the portion of the landscaping that they should not have damaged, and they have refused. I have not asked for a refund of my fee as they did the work they were supposed to, nor have I asked for them to pay for all my landscaping. I have merely asked them to pay for the damage that was caused by their mistakes. They have refused.

I have extreme sensitivity to mold, so I needed to hire someone who understood mycotoxins, how they affect sensitive individuals, how to eliminate them, and how to prevent future mold problems. I contacted Catalyst on a Friday. Zac did the inspection that same day and provided an estimate that evening. He began remediation on Monday. Zac is a great communicator and very efficient. It was so easy working with him throughout the process. His pricing was reasonable compared to other estimates I received. Dealing with mold is incredibly stressful and physically and mentally draining. They took all the photos and documentation I needed to send my insurance company, truly making the process easy from end to end.

Hamilton's Unlimited was here before the plumbers and had my house back to normal in less than four…read moredays - including new drywall and paint. On a Sunday evening, a huge clog backed up the drain for both of my 2nd Floor bathrooms and the water ran down into my 1st Floor ceiling. I got the water turned off and called the plumber and Kevin at Hamilton's Unlimited. Since I also have a Powder Room on the 1st Floor, I told them both it can wait until Monday morning. Early the next morning the plumber called to say they were running ahead of schedule and asked if they move me up. Of course, I told them yes. By the time the plumbers got here (early), Hamilton's Unlimited had already removed all of the wet ceiling, disinfected the framing, set up fans and a dehumidifier, and hauled away the debris. As a bonus, having the ceiling open like that helped the plumbers determine where the clog was which saved me even more time and money. That afternoon, after everyone had left, I was sure I'd be dealing with this for a week or more. However, over the next 48-hours, Hamilton's Unlimited kept in contact with me, even stopping by, to ensure that the drying process was progressing to their liking. By Thursday afternoon - less than four days after the leak - they had installed all new drywall, sanded, and fresh paint on the entire ceiling and one wall. Done. Like it never even happened - only quicker and less painless.

As I took another step, my foot sank into the carpet, leaving behind a soggy footprint. One more step, and I could hear water sloshing beneath the carpet. Ugh, our basement was leaking! I searched for help online and found AdvantaClean of Frederick. After reading their excellent reviews, I gave them a call--and I'm so glad I did. I spoke with the owner, Dave, and it was clear that he knew exactly what he was doing. He was calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring, which helped us feel less overwhelmed. Dave got us on the schedule right away, which was such a relief. He reviewed the basement, provided us with a reasonably-priced quote and we gave him our business. He and his team arrived promptly and got right to work. Using specialized equipment, they were able to pinpoint the source of the leak. They carefully removed our water-damaged sofa along with several bags of damaged items, and they did it all with care and efficiency. They then sealed off the affected area with plastic sheeting and neatly removed the damaged drywall. Dave set up industrial fans and a dehumidifier to dry everything out over the course of several days, staying in communication with us the entire time and periodically stopping by to monitor progress. Dave is not only professional, but also has a good sense of humor and is easy to talk to. He was quick to respond to texts and answered all my questions clearly and thoroughly. If you ever find yourself in the stressful position of dealing with a water-damaged basement, I can't recommend Dave and AdvantaClean of Frederick highly enough. They truly went above and beyond.

When they sent me the invoice ($3400+), I still had the following issues: 1) Whoever used my ladder left it a complete mess, covered in plaster. Not a huge deal but would've been nice if they cleaned it off. 2) Materials were left in my garage (insulation & plaster bucket) and nothing was swept up 3) My garage door doesn't close properly - it worked fine before your company started work. There are garage door wires hanging from the ceiling still 4) The plaster job done on the weight-bearing beam looks horrible - holes, etc. You tell me - is this standard quality of your company's work? 5) Shingles on the roof are buckling. They didn't before. 6) Shingles on side of roof just look horrible - about 1 1/2 inches to far out. I didn't include a picture of the other side for comparison, but it immediately caught my eye when I walked up. They didn't return my phone calls, did a poor job (construction lead was supposed to come out & inspect but failed to do so), and took WAY TOO LONG to complete. This was a 1 week job.
