It started with a quick inspection which we got scheduled immediately. From there, Jim walked through exactly what the action plan was, and the crew was out within the next few days to formally start work.

Do yourself a favor and contact World Restoration for your remediation needs! I definitely will be next time as well.

World restoration was nothing, but the best experience we had in regards to getting mold…read moreremediation completed. For almost 6 months of going back-and-forth with another company, We just couldn't get anything done. I needed a mold remediation company to help out our situation. I came across World Restoration and read so many wonderful reviews that I gave them a shot. It was by far the best experience. Keith was the main person I spoke with to set up a day for Jim to get out here and take a look at our situation. Keith also helped with giving us references for lead and Aspesos testing companies. He checked in on us so kindly to see if we had further questions. He was So friendly and helpful. Jim came out to our home and checked out the area that needed to get treated. He was also very friendly and explained everything they would need to do to get things done and completed. He was patient with me about all my questions. They were so patient with us as we needed to wait on some testing that we had to complete due to the year our home was built. Thankfully everything came out negative and the crew was scheduled to come out to our home. The crew that came with Jim were prompt, efficient and friendly. They really did a great job at taking care of the area to ensure the there were no leaks or mold growth behind our walls. Once the project was complete, I needed help finding a drywall company and Kieth referred me to a few. This company is so friendly and helpful and will explain to you what needs to be done, and will answer all your questions. They also have a great price! I strongly recommend World Restoration.

I didn't end up moving forward with the repairs, but I still wanted to leave a review because Sam…read morewas incredibly responsive. He got back to me almost right away after I submitted my request and scheduled an assessment quickly. Ron, the technician, was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain exactly what the assessment involved and what repairs would be needed. Good communication can be hard to find, especially when dealing with home repair issues, and that alone made a great impression on me. I would definitely keep them in mind when I would need their services in the future.

We had an incredible experience with this restoration company after discovering a slab leak in our…read morehome. From the moment we called, their response time was impressively quick. They understood the urgency of the situation and had a team out to assess the damage right away. David and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the entire process. They clearly explained what needed to be done, kept us informed every step of the way, and completed the repairs efficiently and with high-quality workmanship. You can truly tell they take pride in what they do. What really stood out was how much they helped us navigate the insurance process. Dealing with insurance can be overwhelming, but Natalie worked directly with our adjuster, provided all the necessary documentation, and made sure everything moved along smoothly. It took so much stress off our shoulders during an already stressful time. We are beyond grateful for their quick response, expertise, and support. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of restoration services!

Been meaning to write this review for a long time, but you know, forgot. Luckily Yelp has a whole…read morelist of reviews I started but didn't finish! I typically do wait a little bit after service to write reviews, just in case something happens. And something that leads to me clicking extra hard on that 5th star... well, the owner reached out for a review, and reminded me once after and said he wouldn't pester me with it again. And sure enough he didn't. So that was cool. But to the real review.... my rental had some tenants who didn't report a leak for months apparently, since they were hiding a cat and didn't want me to come and fix things and see the cat. Long story short, I had to tear down 2 of the 4 walls of a bathroom and an entire wall of pantry cabinets in the kitchen on the other side of the bathroom. Mold was completely black! Needless to say, I really wanted to have this fixed ASAP! And of all the "911" or "emergency" or "fix it right away" type of remediation companies... they all did something similar except 911 Restoration. They all urgently booked a "free estimate", then take a day to send a quote. Then almost all were weeks out to schedule it except for two who can start "immediately". However, they would have to do all these "tests" to get started. 911 wasn't the cheapest, but their quoting agent was very nice, thorough, and most professional sounding. Like, he could've been a sales guy for jet engines not just another contractor. Felt very formal and courteous. In any case, when they say they can start right away, they did. Came out and started demoing the next day after I decided to go with them and sent them a deposit. And while they weren't the cheapest, they did do a bit more than the other guys (had them all itemize what they'd do) and for the common work, they were willing to price match it and did a discount on other areas where they could. They weren't too far off to begin with. Some folks tacked on contingency charges and it felt like hidden fees. 911's quote was straight forward. In the end, when you want something like this addressed, you want it done right. They not only did it right, but felt confident of their work and both the project manager and the workers were all courteous and professional. If there's a lesson to be learned....better declare that friggin cat. Kiss that deposit good bye! *sigh*

We just found out that Victor who was sub contracted by 911 had done a bad job on our door which…read morewas replaced. When we pointed out that the replaced door needed to be painted to the color scheme it was originally done on the smaller door which they replaced. Victor had completely gone ballistic on us but reluctantly agreed to paint the door. This was to be done and not new thing added to his scope of work. He simply slapped on a single coat of paint, no primer no protection. We are in the process of painting the entire door again as the paint is now peeling and was informed by the team working on it now that the priming and protective coating was never applied. I am really disappointed as I was sure they took pride in their work, which is clearly not the case.

Having never gone through this before, it was important to me to have someone who I felt like I could trust and would give the information to me straight, and I found that in Hansel. Even when it became a larger project with more days than anticipated, they added on a 12 hour Saturday work day and put in all of the time it took to resolve the issue in my home.

They used their professional equipment and found the leak was small and thankfully not spreading downstairs, and offered to help but also recommended we just find a handyman to patch the shower area for an easier fix!

We used Restoration 1 of Irvine for damage mitigation from a slab leak in our home…read more I initially called a few companies, & Restoration 1 was the most responsive with communications--that's a good sign. Janny provided excellent, clear, accurate communications, quotes, etc. Restoration 1 started the mitigation process very promptly, given that we're working against the clock when it comes to water damage & possible mold. The crew, including Efren & Roberto, were quick, courteous, knowledgeable, & effective. They too kept us posted with text messages regarding visit days/times & scope of work each day. The mitigation & demolition (tearing up floors, cutting drywall & baseboards, drying, dehumidifying, disinfecting, etc.) took several days overall, so we had to coordinate several visits. I don't think the work could have gone any faster than it did, given the scope. The price was reasonable, as confirmed by an independent contractor whom we're hiring for some other home remodeling work. Janny was also responsive & helpful when our homeowners insurance company contacted Restoration 1 for detailed quotes & work scopes for the mitigation process & the reconstruction process. We have a Restoration 1 quote in hand for reconstruction, but I can't review that yet, because we're going to have our home repiped before we rebuild. I can only report that the reconstruction quote looks accurate & is priced fairly (again, per our independent contractor's review). Thank you

JUNE 4TH, 2026 NOTE: Detailed update about Restoration1's untrustworthy communication…read more Their public response below just proves my point. So, this is what to look out for, and the receipts to prove it: 1. TWIST FACTS/CHANGE NARRATIVE: - 6/1 "At no point did our team request that you provide materials..." - 5/21 "Please feel free to forward over the hygienist report and any other information necessary to help generate the remediation estimate." (They did indeed ask for materials but are now saying they didn't.) ___ 2. DEFLECT/IGNORE THE ISSUE RAISED -Dana "I've sent 3 emails to your 1 email..." -Janny "...if you are unwilling to provide results..." -Dana "I'm not unwilling. You just never asked. Why did it take this long to tell me that?" (My issue is their lack of communication, but she deflects to a story about me refusing asbestos testing, when in fact that conversation never happened.) ___ 3. DELAYED COMMUNICATION/NON-RESPONSIVE -- 5/21 Janny: "Please feel free to forward over the hygienist report...". --5/21 Dana:" They're attached, along with link to a few pics." (NO response) --5/27 Dana: "Please get it back to me...at your earliest opportunity." (NO response) --6/1 Dana: "Janny, are you getting my messages?" (NO response) --6/1 Dana (via Yelp): "...the lack of communication is very frustrating. It worries me that this is an indicator to what it's likely working with Restoration1." --6/4 Janny Yelp response "When you contacted our office approximately 1 week later" (2 weeks--not 1--and 5 emails/messages later, I finally get a response) ___ 4. CONTRADICT THEMSELVES --Janny: "You expressed to us on May 22nd that you did not want to proceed with testing" --Then her review says "Following the intial appointment [May 22nd] our office...left you a VM. Unfortunately we were unable to connect" (Here she says we talked, but her review contradicts her own statement) ___ 5. MISINFORMED, ARGUMENTATIVE, AND ACCUSATORY LANGUAGE --Misinformed/Accusatory: "You expressed to us that you didn't want to proceed with testing your property" --Accusatory/Argumentative: "If you are unwilling to provide results...we cannot proceed to assist any further" (Janny's tone is starkly different from most vendors'. They'd likely pose as a question--"Are you willing to" "I believe you expressed", --not an accusation.) Because of this, I'm changing my 2-star review to 1 star. But to be fair, this is just my experience. They do have great reviews, so you may have a better experience (if you decide to use them). Below is the original rating before this update: ____________________________________________________________ 6/3/2026 This is the email that I sent to Restoration1: "Hi Janny, I've sent 3 emails to your 1 email. And your 1 email was asking for materials I already provided. I was so impressed with your estimator's expertise and willingness to answer all of my questions that I likely wanted to use Restoration1, but the lack of communication is very frustrating. It worries me that this is an indicator to what it's likely working with Restoration1. The estimator came out May 21st. It's June 1st. Can you tell me what's going on with my estimate?" Their utter lack of follow-through was incredibly frustrating because I was super impressed with the estimator's professionalism, friendliness, and expertise. 1. The estimator came out May 27. 2. After a week I reached out. 2. Janny responded by asking for docs I already sent 3. I gave it to her again. 4. Then crickets... 6. I emailed a 3rd time for updates. No response. 7. I emailed again + messaged on Yelp 8. They finally responded saying I had refused asbestos testing, which they require. 9. I said I never refused because nobody informed me until 3 weeks in. So they asked for docs already provided (why ask for docs if asbestos was an issue?), did nothing for 3 weeks, said I refused asbestos testing, which wasn't true, and that I would've agreed to do the testing had I been informed, Janny's response was judgmental and rude. And the overall communication--or lack thereof--I received from Janny was misinformed, argumentative, accusatory, and rude. Had they told me about the asbestos testing requirement I would have complied. But, if my experience thus far was any indication of how it would be working with them, I decided to pass. I think I saved myself a lot of headache. Buyer beware.

We had water damage from a leaking refrigerator supply line and contacted mitigation companies…read moreright away after discovering the leak. We knew that acting quickly was important, but we were also very clear with everyone we spoke to that we wanted to preserve as much of the existing flooring, walls, and cabinetry as possible. We were willing to accept some cosmetic damage if things could be safely dried rather than unnecessarily removed and replaced. Other companies we consulted recommended removing portions of the wood flooring, drywall, and cabinetry, so we were preparing ourselves for a much larger demolition and reconstruction project. This team offered us another option: try drying everything in place first using drying mats, a dehumidifier, and containment, while monitoring the moisture levels to make sure it was actually working. What really stood out to me was how thoroughly they explained the process. They showed me the moisture readings in both the affected and unaffected areas, explained the normal baseline they were trying to reach, and walked me through how the equipment and containment would work. I never felt like I was being asked to simply take their word for it. After several days of drying and monitoring, everything reached acceptable moisture levels. We were able to keep the flooring, drywall, and cabinets without removing any of them. There is some discoloration and minor warping in parts of the wood floor, but it's completely manageable by our standards and a tradeoff we're very happy with considering the alternative would have involved tearing out and replacing otherwise salvageable materials. I'm sure acting promptly after discovering the leak played an important role in the outcome, so I would definitely recommend getting water damage addressed as soon as possible rather than waiting to see if it dries on its own. I'm also extremely grateful that this team listened to our priorities and was willing to take a preservation-first approach while still verifying the results with actual moisture readings. Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable, transparent, professional, and easy to communicate with. What started as a very stressful situation ended with a much better outcome than we expected, and I would absolutely recommend them for water mitigation.

An Architect's Review…read more As an architect, I work with contractors on a regular basis and needless to say, I was probably more particular than most when it came to choosing someone to work on my own home. Word of mouth and research led me to ARC / Armando... and I'm glad I went with him! From the beginning, communication was clear and straightforward. We went through the scope of work, my requirements and budget. I had some very basic drawings prepared to communicate my ideas. Along the way, Armando made suggestions to work with my requirements and budget. His pricing was reasonable and, most importantly, he completed the work within the budget we originally agreed upon. Anyone who has done a renovation before knows how easily costs can start creeping up once work begins. That was not my experience here. The scope and budget were established upfront and Armando stuck to them. And this was very important to me as I had no way of accommodating an increase in cost. The work was for a garage renovation, it included interior demo, replacement of an exterior window, addition of a new exterior door, vinyl wood flooring, drywall and installation of a new gypsum ceiling. Work progressed efficiently and to my expectations with no unnecessary delays. Communication throughout the project was excellent, and mostly Armando initiating the conversations to keep me updated. He was also very easy to work with on finishes and hardware. Some items I provided myself while others were sourced by him. Again, he made recommendations to work with my budget while not compromising on quality. Speaking of quality, the quality of the work was exceptional. It has now been over a year since the renovation was completed and everything still looks as good as the day it was finished. Absolutely zero complaints! His attention to detail was very much appreciated. He constantly made suggestions when he felt something could be improved. For example, he suggested a more random tile pattern for the vinyl floor instead of the more regular stagger I had proposed. We went with his suggestion and I am very pleased with it. Armando is knowledgeable, reliable and a pleasure to work with. Coming from someone who deals with contractors professionally all the time, I don't make that recommendation lightly. Definitely highly recommended and he will be my first call for future projects!
