Chandelier left on the ground and not installed.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My HOA hired JGB to repair damage in my home caused by another company they contracted . From start to finish, the experience has been frustrating and unprofessional. JGB has terrible communication. I had to constantly call just to get updates or to try to schedule repairs. More often than not, I was told "someone will call you back" or asked about my availability, yet no follow-through ever happened unless I initiated it. The contractors who did show up only completed part of the work, left a mess behind, and told me they would return to finish, clean up, and reinstall my hardware. They never came back. For nearly three weeks, I repeatedly called the office, only to be brushed off with empty promises. No one ever showed up, or called me back, and my home remains unfinished. I now have to hire another company to rehang my chandeliers ( I have very high ceilings ) and I have to clean up the mess they left. I have worked with contractors in the past, and a supervisor always came out to inspect the job, make sure everything was clean, and ask if I was satisfied with the results . JGB never sent a supervisor to inspect the work their contractors performed. I strongly recommend not hiring JGB. They waste your time, fail to follow through, and leave you with more problems than you started with.

The holes that are exposed in my screen door that were not there before.

JGB didn't excellent job to complete the water mitigation and I completed a 5 star review on google for that part of the job. I had high hopes that the experience for the entire process was going to be excellent. This review is for the rebuild process only. Unfortunately after the water mitigation was completed 3 weeks ago, the process of the rebuild has not begun. The communication was so poor. I was told that they were waiting for my insurance to approve and for payment to be received. I advised my insurance adjuster of that and we attempted twice to do a conference call but was told by Lindsey that Chris the owner is only available for 1hour in the morning to take the call and there was no way for her to get a hold of him. That doesn't give me high hopes that the two are able connect if there is only one hour time frame for them to talk. Still no begin date or call back. When I had called to also follow up and to speak with Chris, I was told by Lindsey that they also have other customers. She was rude and pretty much gave me the impression that I was not important. I understand people are busy but it's their job to communicate with their customers and to not leave them in the dark. The handle on my screen door was broken by accident. But when they attempted to repair the handle they did a poor job and left holes in the door where bugs could get in. The entire screen door needs to be replaced now. I'm still waiting for them to let me know if they will replace the door. There communication in the rebuild department needs improvement. I had to change contractors to complete the rebuild process so I can go home asap. I have been out of my home since Labor Day weekend.

Crooked cabinet in the bathroom. Door and drawers won't close.

Restoration 1 of Irvine

(82 reviews)

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.

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.

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!

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.

His crew is professional, punctual, and patient. I'm an over-planner and worrier, but Danny and Daniel were always patient, kind, and thorough in their explanations, putting my mind at ease. Frank was also always accessible over the phone and text message if I had additional questions about scheduling and the scope of work. The company also offers general construction services, and Frank offered a bid to patch an exterior stucco wall that our plumber had to get into. Based on our positive experience with the concurrent moisture mitigation work, we decided to contract with Frank on the patching project, too. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Frank and his team again. I highly recommend Save The Day Restoration!
