In early 2020 there was a fire inside my home. I called Golden Restore I met with Ori. He gave me a fair estimate and I was very happy with his work. Always got back to me after I called them about the stages of restoration. During this time Covid struck hard the Bay Area.And getting inspectors out to the house to let us proceed wasn't easy but Ori persisted. I would highly recommend him and his company read more

Notice the reviews are old! There have been no recent reviews until mine. Take note! If this system allowed a rating of no stars that us what I would give this business. If you do not read anything else in this review, read this...Do not hire this company. Their work was inferior and completely unacceptable. When asked to correct before continuing with further work, Ori walked off the job. He did not respond to voicemail, texts or emails. I hired Golden Restore to repair water damage from a leaking shower drain. Ori, was the project manager. There were 2 phases. The first was the water remediation, which was completed for a total of $3500. Once that was done and the walls and floor of the upstairs shower were opened, dry rot was found. The floor and half of the walls in the stall shower needed dry rot repair, waterproofing, new sheet rock, new tiling. The lower bathroom was also affected because the ceiling and walls needed to be opened up to allow the framing. A new timeline was discussed and agreed upon. During the demolition, damage was done to the outside walls and tiles of the shower. Ori kept assuring me the work would be done on the existing timeline. It wasn't. He kept assuring me the damaged walls and tiles would be repaired as per original. They weren't. The dry wall was very poorly installed. It looked like a DIY project, not a professional contractor. The tiles were retiled in the wrong direction and wrong sizes. It was patch worked. I had asked for Grey grout. He used Grey grout on the shower floor but white grout on the shower walls. He never communicated this change, I would not have different grout colors on the walls and floor. When I saw the completed work in the upstairs shower, I told Ori it was unacceptable and had to be repaired before completing the downstairs bathroom. I had paid him $10,500.00. The total cost of the job was $14,490. I told him I would not pay anything further on the contract until he redid the upstairs work and it was acceptable. Once that was done, we would continue with the downstairs bathroom and complete the contract. Ori refused to fix the inferior work unless he was paid. He did not answer phone calls or emails. I have not had further communication from him. I have attached photos of the inferior work in the upstairs bathroom and the unfinished downstairs bathroom. read more

He tells you he will do the work, then doesn't show up, and then offers no explanation. My project took way longer than expected because he only worked a couple of days a week, and only a couple of hours a day. We couldn't use the kitchen and I never knew when his worker would show up. I eventually fired them and got another contractor to finish the job. read more

I am a property manager and the owner chose Ori to take care of a mold issue in one of the units. Ori is knowledgeable, and is able to quickly see a problem, come up with a solution and communicate the steps required to re mediate. But the 5 star rating that I'm giving him now is also, his ability to work with problem tenants. Ori had to put up with tenants who did not follow instructions to clear a room, he had to deal with not being allowed entry into a unit. He had to deal with tenants not giving him access to his own tools, etc, etc, etc. In short, my tenants made Ori's life a nightmare. BUT Ori took it in stride, maintained his professionalism. And even after the work was done, and the tenants were complaining about more things, Ori still made time to come and explain to me that the tenants what was going on and how the tenant's needed to change their habit of bringing in moldy items from the street into the unit. Thank you Ori. I hope you don't have too many difficult clients like you had with me, but I hope that you keep your positive attitude. read more

It is hard to explain to some how it feels to come home from a ski weekend at lake Tahoe only to find that your first floor is drenched with water and literally not being able to see your feet in the dirty water. When I called Golden Restore they answered after five rings which I was great full for since it was Sunday and the manager immediately calmed me down and explained to me that they will be over right away and that the process of the restoration will be started as soon as possible. When the team arrived to my house they didnt waste any time and as soon as we went through the details the machines were brought in and the water started being pumped out. I happy to say that within two days the guys managed to get everything under control and the visible damage was almost gone. before the end of the week the restoration crew finished putting in new dry wall where needed and now the whole saga seems like it never happened. Thank you ! read more

I discovered mold on the windowsills throughout my house and called a number of mold remediation companies. Golden Restore got back to me quickly and were happy to come check out the situation. I received quick, professional assistance and was grateful for their friendly, knowledgeable expertise. read more

I contacted Golden Restore after a number of phone calls to similar sounding contractor/water damage restoration companies in which I received no response or unclear scheduling. Thank goodness, since it is what led me to Ori. He is a pleasure to work with. He is responsive, on time, friendly, and clear in his process. Golden restore performed a free estimate on a wall that had water damage and needed to be removed. Ori was able to schedule the work the following day and then continued to follow up for the following 3 days while the work was being completed. It is very hard to find a good contractor that gives clear pricing, sticks to schedule, has a flexible schedule, and provides a clear pricing structure. Let alone, the work product. Ori and his team were fantastic. I will be hiring him again in the near future. I highly highly recommend. Thanks Ori! read more

3 months ago, one of my rental property tenants left, leaving my property trashed... I couldn't tell you how frustrated and nervous I was since the house was scheduled for a quick sale. So I started collecting quotes from construction companies To my surprise, the guy at Golden restore was actually trying to save me money on the project. He wanted to do only what was necessary. A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WITH NO UP SALE ? ! works for me ! So I decided to go with these guys. The manager and his crew went above and beyond to make sure the job was done in no time... The best thing was that they finished a couple days before what was estimated, doing a very professional job. I sold the house in less then a week! since then I already used them twice on other properties. I highly recommend the guys at Golden Restore ! read more

This company made an appointment with me for early afternoon. At 2:00, they called to say they'd be "several hours" late. It's now after 6 and no one is answering phones. I'm not impressed. read more

I woke up last week with my pipe going of the wall. Water was all over the place and was afraid to have a f load. I call them they came and clean and fix everything up for me. Not only did they do my water damage repair, they dried and clean everything up for me. Very professional and friendly...which is very very VERY important for me. They get the jobs done and does not dissociate themselves from the customers. Really recommend. read more

These guys know what they are doing. Ori made this unpleasant ordeal as pleasant as could be. He was knowledgeable​, easy to communicate with, and his guys did a great job. Thank you, Golden Restore for your golden service! read more

The Golden Restore crew did a wonderful job you did on our house, which was a true "fixer-upper." It was such a disaster - they really worked magic with the place. The kitchen and bathrooms are gorgeous and exactly how we wanted them, and we love the new floors and everything else... We recommend them to anyone we know who needs remodeling. read more

Ori and his crew remodeled our bathrooms and we couldn't be happier. Ori kept us informed of their progress and were flexible with our schedule. The crew was always neat and unobtrusive. I would certainly use this company again and highly recommend them. read more

In a world where so many contractors don't call back or do a sloppy job, Ori and his team stand out most impressively. The old flipped house we bought late last year turned out to have major mold in the walls of 2 rooms due to roofing & siding defects. Ori and his team were excellent from start to finish. Ori is responsive, expert at mold remediation, gave us solid clear information and never tried to pressure us into any of the work. They did the remediation, fixed our roof, fixed the siding and did the interior remodel after the remediation and all the work was done professionally and expertly, on time and on-budget. I would hire them again in a second. read more

Best contractor - hands down! We had such a great experience with Ori and his team when they remodeled the kitchen in our condo. Ori is very knowledgable about the work, and helped us complete the project in a timely manner within our budget. Ori also guarantees his work, we had a question about the kitchen and he promptly answered his phone and scheduled a time to stop by. Well deserved five star review! read more

After a leak in between the wall in our condo, we needed a mold remediation company for water damage and black mold. We chose Golden Restore and are very pleased about the service. Ori replied very promptly to my email and came out on July 4th (!) for an estimate. A few days later he emailed the estimate cost and was very flexible to have 2 estimates (one with only the mold remediation and the other including remodeling/patching the walls). Ori was very straightforward and honest in what was included or not, the length of the mold remediation, etc. Ori and Jose did an excellent job, very reliable, prompt, professional and very friendly. After the remediation, Ori emailed the lab result, invoice, and other documents for our archives. We couldn't be more pleased about this company! read more

We've worked with Ori and his team for many years on a wide range of projects, from mold remediation, to furniture building, to plumbing repair, in both our home and business. THEY ROCK!!! They get the job done on time and as promised, and are an absolute JOY to work with. Forthright and clear, they are beyond contractors, I trust them like family! read more

Words cannot do justice to how happy I am with the work done by Ori and his amazing team at Golden Restore. My sump pump broke, flooding my basement, and I called Ori to do mold remediation. He immediately noticed that, even under the best of circumstances, my basement was chronically damp so, rather, than just drying things out, he came up with a drainage system to redirect ALL the water that had been making its way in for the 15 years I've lived in my home. His team installed pipes and drains, replaced all the moldy sheetrock, and sealed everything up. They even painted the new drywall, wow!! It's like I added a room to my house, since I now have a 100% dry basement where I can actually store things without having everything get mildewed. Ori is a great communicator, very punctual, extremely kind, and exceptionally good at what he does. I would give Golden Restore ten stars if I could! read more

I have worked with Ori and his crew since he started in the business. I continue to be very impressed with his responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile. Costs have always been competitive. Ori has worked on both my home and rental properties. Answers texts late at night, did work for me long distance when I was on vacation. I (and my tenants) completely trust him. read more

It's always such a worry in today's world to trust people (which is why I purchased a brand new home 6yrs ago--so I wouldn't have to worry--now the time has arrived). I've prayed about making a good choice and it led me to Golden Restore! Thus far, the experience after my initial contact has been great...and I look forward to not only doing business with Mr. Ori and his team, but also spreading the word to family, friends, and neighbors. I also look forward to utilizing their services for all of my needs. I will update my review following my appointment! read more

We are so happy with the work of Ori and his team at Golden Restore! They did a beautiful job remodeling our kitchen for a very reasonable cost. They added granite counter tops, marble floor tiles, a new back splash, and tore down two walls which opened up our home. The work of Golden Restore made the kitchen our favorite room and also helped increase the value of our property. We would definitely hire them again! read more

Orie and his team repaired the roof, got rid of the mold and restored the interior of my tri-level rental property in San Francisco. My tenants said his team was very thorough and considered since it took a few weeks to clear all the rooms. I am pleased with their service. read more

I have used Golden Restore for a variety of projects, including remediation work after a deck leak into a home office, and for miscellaneous handy-man type maintenance and repairs on a large high-end house. I couldn't be happier with Ori Avital, the owner, and his crew (when a project requires more than one worker). They are prompt, responsive, and responsible, and they work cleanly and efficiently. I'm admittedly pretty fussy, so this is high praise read more
