Garland Restoration did all the repairs after a roof leak damaged the ceiling, wall and the floor. Shawn came early morning, took notes of all the damages and measured the floor to report to Mercury Insurance. First time going though a home insurance claim and the walk was long ,but the results very impressive. Tyler, the project manager arranged every team to do their work as each day progresses . He is young ,has positive energy and respond fast. I believe they worked with integrity , honesty and good will. Thank you to every single person who spent time doing a great job and to Mike who put a beautiful new vinyl water proof floor. Very professional and super reliable. So now, the house looks amazing! Thank you ! read more

I will never use another contractor!. Amazing personalized service. They immediately responded to my many questions and kept to a demanding schedule on a complicated job. If they said they'd be there, they would; not like other companies who take your money and run. Every person I dealt with were amazing. They supported me every step of the way. Even handled my 91 year old husband with dementia with patience and kindness. The new flooring they installed looks like a work of art. The folks who did my kitchen pack out took the detailed molding and toe kicks and tossed them but Garland was able to replace them and match them to my custom milk painted and glazed cabinets. I am so grateful for their outstanding work, kind attitude and professionalism. Thank you! Di-Ann S read more

In doing a recon. project on a bedroom and shower including walls, in general all the different companies involved with Garland were professional and reliable. The finished shower is beautiful and so much better than the old leaky one. My thanks to Tim and Tyler for working seamlessly with Mercury Insurance to successfully keep the project moving until the end! Highly recommend Garland Restoration! read more

Garland Restoration did the repairs after a leak damaged the living room and kitchen in our home. Derek Thomas was the Project Manager and coordinated terrific contractors who all did an excellent job with their part of the project, including Steve and the guys who removed our kitchen cabinets and extremely heavy countertop, amazingly without any damage, Angel and Denny who did the drywall repairs and painting, the guys who reinstalled the kitchen cabinets, countertop and sink, the plumber who came to hook everything up, and Raoul, who repaired the carpet and cleaned it. Everyone was great. We highly recommend Garland and are completely satisfied with the wonderful job they did repairing our home. read more

As part of an insurance claim, Garland came out for an extensive job touching every room of our home and blew me away with their attention to detail at the start of the process and thorough execution of the construction. At the estimation stage, they detailed a long scope of work that I looked over very carefully myself, ultimately finding that they were impressively accurate about detailing fair, eligible costs to be covered by insurance, while not overcharging me for the extra improvements I asked for during the rebuild. They were very flexible about allowing me to save costs by DIYing some of the tasks in their estimate, and about giving me time to decide on flooring options. My take-away was that their experience on the front end really helped my bottom line here, as catching all these details up front saved me money by making sure insurance covered everything I could possibly be eligible for. During the construction stage (drywall, flooring, shower tiling, painting), the communication was fantastic, and as a new homeowner, I valued their patience when I asked questions and asked for options on rebuilding things differently than the old build. They were great at pulling permits quickly and making sure the crucial visits from the city inspectors went smoothly, and kept the door open at the end of the job for final touch-ups as we settled back into our home. Great communication paired with great execution, from people who have a lot of experience in the industry. I would recommend Garland to anyone. read more

We used Garland Restoration to repair our floor and walls after a plumbing slab leak. They were efficient, honest, and reasonably priced.

I highly recommend the Garland Restoration Company and crew. They did an excellent job restoring my home from a broken waterline under my porcelain tile and concrete slab. Their crews carefully packed out all my furniture throughout my home and stored it while they replaced all my floors, repaired walls & painted. They were patient, careful and did an excellent job in returning my home furnishings with care. read more

This review is way overdue. I've been meaning to write it a few months ago, but circumstances didn't allow it. I want to tell you all that I had a very positive experience with Rob from Garland. From day one, what he promised he delivered. We had water damage from a broken pipe and he was so organized and extremely responsive and reliable. I want to share a photo of one product of the job that he had his crew work on. See photo attached. Thank you, Rob!! We appreciate all your hard work!! If ever something bad happens, God forbid, I'm asking for your help! read more

Garland Restoration - The Shower!! - General Contractors Near Me - Orange, California

Stay Away From Garland Restoration! I hired Garland Restoration to restore my bathroom after a leak in December turned into a nightmare. It took them 4 months to finish, and the project manager, Rob, was unprofessional, and was extremely pushy (not to mention he reeked of cigarettes ). He constantly made false promises and attempted to pressure me to use specific vendors, which felt like a kickback scheme. Despite the insurance paying for a new vanity, they simply restored the old one. When I confronted them with evidence, they only replaced some parts and offered a shower door to appease me. To top it off, their workers left my backyard filthy, stained my floors while completing some of their work, and didn't even clean the new bathroom properly, even though after-work cleaning was included. They also left their trash for us to dispose of. If you value honesty and professionalism, and good work, avoid Garland Restoration at all costs especially having Rob as your project manager. I'm attaching some pictures of the 'finished' work. read more

Garland restored our downstairs bathroom after a huge under-slab leak. Garland was great to work with. First Shawn came out. I explained what I wanted and we agreed in writing. Kevin oversaw the restoration. Other workers came out depending on what the task was, tiling, plumbing, etc. This was all during the pandemic. They observed COVID protocols. I got the bathroom I imagined and wanted. I was very happy. And, I'm not easy to please. read more

They restored our second bathroom beautifully. They worked within budget and delivered what was asked for.

Nathan Carey has been there for me and my family. This has been a very stressful situation and I have been in and out of the hospital and even then he made sure to take care of us. Our house has been turned upside down, no kitchen or 2nd bathroom due to water damage. I cannot say enough how Amazing he has been . My family from the bottom of our heart thank you for always being there for us. You can be rest assured that Garland Restoration will be there with you every step if the way. Thank you Nathan read more

I am really satisfied with all the work they have done. Detailed and well experiential. My house looks like a new one now.

We hired them to restore the house after water damage. In the end, most of the work was completed correctly. Our adjuster Tim and project manager Kevin would often ignore texts and emails. I won't go into detail but the job was estimated to take 3 months turned into 8 months. I am currently using Serv Pro for another project and it night and day things are rolling along quickly so far. read more

From the beginning to the end Garland performed well in restoring our home from water damage. That is from pack out to pack in they were on top of things. The subcontractors were all excellent as were their employees doing their respective jobs. We feel fortunate that our insurance company recommended Garland Restoration. Not only were they good they were professional, pleasant, respectful and easy to work with. Don C read more

Had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We had a water leak that resulted in our entire floors needing to be replaced, which required drying, packing out etc... Their team worked well with our insurance, kept us updated and on time completion. Would highly recommend and use them again . read more

Garland did the estimate so low and when servicemaster did the estimate I think it's more realistic .Garland did the estimate when the demolition wasn't complete yet.They should have come when all the walls were demolished so that they can have a much better idea. read more

I would not suggest doing business here, the team and project manager Derek over extended the time line and failed to communicate on critical aspects of the project. Garland Restoration seems detail oriented but failed to follow the line by line item job scope that made up their pricey quote. The MO for this business seems to be stand behind crummy work and bully the customer while insisting that they and their work were completed correctly. After much headache and getting the business owner involved they eventually made things right when I opened a bond claim and pressed to take the issues to court. read more

The entire first floor of my mother-in-law's house flooded a couple of months ago. Her insurance company had Garland Restoration repair or remodel everything. I had the pleasure of working with Nathan Carey and Daniel Acosta. I've had issues in the past with contractors never responding to my calls or texts. This was not the case with Danny and Nathan. They always responded right away. This alone would have impressed me, but every dealing I had with them was terrific. They are the nicest guys! Everything was explained and taken care of. Danny even went with us to select some of the items. My mother-in-law's first floor looks amazing, practically brand new. These guys are the best! read more

We are selling our house and during the inspection found there was moisture under our kitchen sink. I called Garland Restoration, and Shawn (the owner) came out. He very professional and gave me a couple practical and affordable options. Adrian (the tech) came out on time and also very professional. He explained everything he was going to do, then after he was finished detailed the work he had done. I would highly recommend the team at Garland Restoration read more

We experienced two different water leaks in two years but had a very good experience with Garland Restoration. The first was major and required replacing a large portion of wood flooring and trying to preserve large pieces of kitchen granite. It was a difficult time just after the pandemic but our project manager, Tyler, did an exceptional job keeping things moving. The second was a smaller leak, and again, Tyler brought in the right specialists to finish the project quickly. Both were mostly covered by insurance, but Garland was very reasonable on prices for extra work and upgraded materials so we felt they provided good value. Tyler was excellent answering our texts and calls. Doing a good job one time is wonderful. Doing it twice is superb. read more

I am posting a complete review on Garland below after having been patient for more than 6 months now. Stay away from this company and definitely don't consider them for a larger project (flooring, kitchen or bath remodel). Mercury Insurance recommended me to use Garland after I had a slab leak in my kitchen. Ofcource having limited contacts on various contractors for different things involved in this big project, I decided to use Garland at my own risk based on insurance recommendation and I still repent each week on the blunder I made. Breakdown of why this review - There is a project manager named Derek who has no clue on the details and he had to be notified of each task whether its ordering hardwood, ordering slabs, arranging for a plumber, checking on the measurements for the hood or even courtesy of cleaning up after the work, its as if I am managing a project manager. They completely messed up my hardwood installation in the family and living room due to which now I am so paranoid that I have to hire a different contractor to get my kitchen flooring done right. The hardwood install guys (owner named Glen I believe) did such a terrible job that even Garland's crew who was there in my house acknowledged it and said to me that you need to complain to the insurance. These guys are so unapologetic that they completely denied that the flooring was installed incorrectly, so I took two other reviews from flooring experts who came in and saw all the faults I had noticed. From hardwood install delays to kitchen design approvals, this company has their project management & quality of work in question big time! I absolutely don't recommend their services due to sloppy work, missed communications at every step (including informing us of the time contractors would come next day), and the quality of the jobs is terrible at best (they left doors open overnight once when we were out of the house). Due to all of this mess, me and my family (with two kids 8 & 11) have been without a kitchen since October 2023. It's a joke and a shame for this company & Mercury insurance frankly that they can't get their act straight! I hope Garland's management sees this and takes corrective action to address these for their future customers at least and I hope Mercury insurance takes note of this and doesn't recommend Garland anymore. Please feel free to reach out to me for any more details if you need. read more

Professional, good communication throughout and quality work! We are so grateful that our home insurance assigned Garland to restore our condo after a washing machine flood. We had extensive water damage and they restored our place to look better than it did before! Nathan, Derek and their team did an excellent job! Highly recommend. read more

Garland Restoration came to our home after our water heater filter exploded and flooded our house. They were quick, efficient and professional. They worked around our schedule and stayed on top of it and worked quickly. This is the second time they did restoration, and we would use them again and again. Kevin was running the project and he showed up regularly to make sure things were moving along and we were satisfied. They did everything we needed, and the results look great. I would hire them again and again for the work that they do! Thank you Garland Restorations! read more

Excellent service team and great communication and coordination. Really appreciate the team that took care of our water damage in our garage and laundry room. They were quick, efficient and worked well with our insurance agent. Thanks so much. Would definitely recommend. From Natalie in the office to Jorge and his team. They are all great. read more

Super professional, responsible, and respectful! They under promised and over delivered! Our project manager was hands on and visited the site every day to check on things. He even installed our bathroom vanity himself! They made our 1960s bathroom into a brand new farmhouse look! I would definitely use Garland Restoration again! read more

We had a flood in our bathroom and it created water damage in our walls and floors. As soon as our insurance said it was covered they gave us Garland Restoration and we went with them and we are so very happy we did. They did a phenomenal job! It was done really quickly as well. DANNY with Garland is the MAN!!! He got right on the job. We didn't need to wait. We have one bathroom in our house of two adults and four small children and they worked really hard to make sure we had a toilet as soon as humanly possible to make our lives easier. Every project they did we were super happy with. I absolutely recommend working with Danny. He went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure we were really really happy with the work. I HIGHLY recommend him on the job. He was a game-changer for us. We are very thankful to have the most beautiful bathroom now because of Garland and Danny. Thanks guys! read more

We had water damage in September last year. When our insurance came out they told us we would need to get a contractor out to repair the plumbing, tile and shower. So they sent us Garland to give us a quote. They came out in October. The job didn't get started till the new year. This was my first time dealing with a licensed contractor and let me tell u it was a shit show. They had me waiting for weeks because the guy in charge of my project was so bent on using one specific tile guy..so I waited. I do have to say that the tile guys they had working were pretty good at their work. The plumber (Daniel) did well, in the beginning. But then he let me down when he installed the shower and water splashed all over my ceiling. He didn't screw on the shower tubes tightly. Then my tub drain plug didn't catch and I can't draw a bath because it doesn't work. He never showed for the two days we both agreed on so that he could fix my shower and drain. The only ones who never disappointed me were Carlos and Eric and his crew. That's it. Anyway my job was finally completed two weeks ago. Oh! And you would think that a contractor company would have a design sketched out for u... yeah I never got that either. My project manager should have realized that from the beginning before asking me to sign the contract. So ask for the design drawing! Lesson learned, even with a license contractor you deal with crap. And I paid a pretty penny for my bathroom remodel. read more

I would not recommend this Restoration company at all. They are not for the customer at all. Never completed work and did sloppy work. Put my closet organizer in correctly. Broke my Bed Frame! Lazy workers and not trained properly on how to handle someone else's property. The price for the work was not worth the Job . read more

Was referred and used them through an insurance claim. They stated their job is to "restore" your house the way it was before the damage. I thought that was great, except for the fact they never even bothered to come see the house BEFORE the demolition. So how would they bring it back to the way it was? They painted the bathroom the wrong color, left an absolute mess, no attention to detail, poor workmanship, etc. Scheduling estimates and the work needs major improvement. They are clearly overbooked and overextended, which I believe most contractors are anyways. These guys are no different. I do like the fact that they assign a project manager to each job so that you at least have some familiar with the project and I can talk to negotiate scheduling. I had no problems with any of the specific people that worked on the house. They were all individually very nice people. I had more issues with the direction that they were given by their managers. Overall, if you have the chance, go elsewhere. read more

We had a great experience with Shawn, Danny, Paul, and the crew at our residence. After experiencing water damage, we were in need of repair work. Shawn explained the process very well and created a great scope of work. Danny, Paul, and crew were detailed, professional, and respectful. We greatly appreciate your help and will come to you when we can in the future. Thank you. read more

Do not use Garland; it was pure aggravation having to deal with them. They work sporadically and we didn't see them for weeks at a time. The restoration that was supposed to take 3 weeks took 3 1/2 months. In the contract the Garland estimator Tim wrote a detailed estimate/contract which listed what would be replaced for the price. The foreman Danny did not even attempt to perform many of the repairs listed in the contract. Instead he did decided on his own how to do the repairs in the least expensive way. He argued and complained about the work and price every time I pushed him to do the repairs that were listed in the contract. When I attempted to contact the estimator about the way the repairs were being performed, he did not answer his phone or respond to emails. No consideration for the customer. The one good thing I can say about Garland is that they had professional crews who did the drywall and painting. Epilog: The last item Garland completed was the reinstall and reconnect of the kitchen sink. This alone took Garland 3 trips (and weeks) to complete. Two days after finally getting a usable kitchen again the sink would not drain. Garland send their "plumber" to address it. When he arrived, he just laughed and said, "you need a plumber this is nothing we touched". The licensed plumber I called removed dry wall material he found blocking the drain. The insurance reimbursed me for this repair, but I did lose another day thinking Garland would do more than go though the motions. read more

I have done three projects...2 full home restorations in Los Angeles and one is Palos Verdes using Garland Restoration. There teams are very good. In fact, in Los Angeles one of the teams recovered a lost diamond ring and gave it back to us! Great teams that were very respectful of our homes. It is a family business and their sub-contractors have always been reliable as well. They are very well and experienced and walked my wife and I step-by-step through our projects. On one house we were in escrow on, the principal, Shawn came out as a part of a requested home inspection and discovered a below grade wall in the garage had lost its waterproofing. We quit the escrow and this probably saved us $200k in remediation costs necessary to fix the entire below grade wall. I think their pricing is appropriate because they do not use day laborers and they are properly insured for what they do. My wife and I would not use anyone else! Lastly, they handled a water claim at my mother's home with such great care for her advanced age and health. They made sure the insurance company, Mercury, paid what it was supposed to and my mother paid her share of the loss...very fair and definitely not the "insurance company's pocket." Garland is great! read more

Garland Restoration took care of us when we were incredibly stressed out about a pipe that burst in our upstairs bathroom. Their team was quick to respond and treated our home and belongings with respect. They were honest and straightforward about what they believed our insurance company would and would not cover, and helped us fight for coverage when our insurance company was giving us push-back. Great communication. Great work. Will be my first call if something like this ever happens again. read more

Garland Restoration handled my mother in laws remodel due to flooding that the insurance company did cover. Tommy was our estimator and Juan handled the bulk of the contracting needs. These two couldn't have been more professional and treated the remodel with care. I would like to take this opportunity to point out Juan's "above and beyond," service during the work. When we had any hiccups, he immediately took care of them as quick as he could, thus making our days better. (Thanks Juan) When you have flooding in your home emotions run high and all of Garland handled this situation with care and grace. Thank You to all of you at Garland, - Rob at the Pound house. read more
