APPARENTLY padding and inflating an estimate and not communicating with the examiner or myself to resolve the estimate disagreements, before anything is done, tells me if you do not want the estimate, bombard it with as much ridiculous billings so as to sabotage the estimate with the insurance company and then blame the insurance company for the failure to agree and get out of the job without looking bad or get bad reviews. I have verified noncommunicative with all and that is a big red flag. Contractors in Alaska can be flaky, lack intergrity, just not worth having any communication. VERIFIED! Good luck...reviews last forever. I will get my home back but months later, I am mildly pi$$ed off.

After being told by Taylored Restoration that the mold we found along a 20 foot stretch of wall was…read morefrom animal urine, we went with Service Master to take care of our problem. We met Mike & Rick at the job site to explore the problem and discuss it's removal. Multiple times during the consultation we discussed the crew removing the drywall, cleaning, and then replacing the drywall. Everyone was in agreement. So when the estimate came in, and the last line simply stated "painting" we assumed they were to paint the wall. Considering this is something easily done, we declined to have them paint. Not a single person stopped us to explain that the painting referred to was a mold killing specialty paint. Basically, the purpose of the removal and to inhibit further growth should a stray spore be left. The crew arrives an hour late (just like the consult) and begins their job. After they are finished and are removing their ionizing equipment I am told that another crew would get in touch about fixing the walls. When I heard nothing for a week, I called to check in, and lo and behold, the estimate was not for the drywall fix at all, but only the mold remediation. A separate estimate then came in for almost $800 to fix less than 20 square feet of drywall. At this point, the mold had been cleared, thus an insurance claim for the amount above our deductible could not be filed. After the crew left, we went to check on the procedure and were completely devastated to find visible mold still left in the area. This was not stained wood, but actual spores which were visible to the naked eye. A supervisor did come out the next day to fix the problem - but aren't they supposed to do it right the first time? After everything is said and done, and we bring in our own drywall person, I receive an overdue notice in the same envelope as the first bill I had seen. The bill was very different from the estimate - not only in price but also appearance. While the estimate was an exploded bullet list of items (3 pairs of gloves, 20 feet of sheeting, etc) which was over 5 pages long, our bill was 6 lines. When I questioned the charge for an ionozing/ozone unit billed in 24 hour increments, I was told the unit had been in our house longer than 24 hours and we were billed as such. I left the crew at my house at 9am on the morning in question, the unit could not have been used for at least 2 hours, and when I saw them at 8 am the nest morning, they were picking it up. Less than 24 hours. The bill also indicated that more than 1 pickup load of material was hauled away from the house. Not possible. With 2 of the 6 lines questioned, I asked for an exploded version of our bill, formatted exactly like the estimate. I received another copy of the estimate. We went back and forth trying to track down an appropriate copy of the bill for OVER 2 MONTHS. This is very suspicious to me. If you overcharge in one area, and then refuse to show the full bill, I am left to the conclusion that you are vastly overcharging and hiding your figures. After 2 months I was finally able to get a copy of the amended, correct bill. In short, I understand it was our responsibility to comb through the estimate. However, it is their job to explain to the customer why an important step is needed, and be sympathetic to the fact that most of their customers are not fluent in the particular vernacular of their specific field. *** The owner comment below references our cost to remove the mold the first time around, not the estimated drywall cost which I mentioned.

Preparing to leave our home for church, I heard my daughter call out something a mom --never wants…read moreto hear, "Mom, we have a problem...a big problem!" In the middle of the night, our drains had backed up and flooded our downstairs. UGH! After calling a plumber and drain service to clear out the line, the water receded. Needless to say, it left a horrible mess. Black water/sewage water--all flooring, some sheet rock, furniture, and so forth had to be replaced. It was disgusting! ServiceMaster of Anchorage came to our aid immediately. Their team was GREAT! I had complete confidence in them--they put me at ease and handled everything quickly and efficiently. My home has never looked better! They went above and beyond in making sure that things were done to my satisfaction. They dealt with insurance--their quote was right in line with what insurance would cover. Every single person I met with and dealt with put me at ease and was very helpful. It could've been a completely stressful experience--but it wasn't. I highly recommend this company! They will take care of you and your home.

We used AK Restoration Pro to help dry our floors when we had a pinhole leak in a pipe; they were…read morehighly rated, and able to respond quickly, and we had no idea what to do as we'd never encountered a situation like this before. We will never use them again. After an initial inspection, we were told a team would be coming to set things up. That team was led by a smooth talker, while courteous, was unprofessional - they showed up high out of their minds, and took about 45 minutes going back and forth to their van, to plug in 4 fans and 1 dehumidifier. We learned a few days later that they walked out on their employer (not shocked); a few days later, we learned they did a poor setup, pointing fans towards one another, effectively cancelling each other out. Shocking, was the bill. 4 fans, 1 dehumidifier, for one week, $2500. The only labor they did was plugging in the fans and dehumidifier - that's it. These same fans can be purchased at Home Depot for $60/ea. The dehumidifier, while big and loud, removed less water than our home dehumidifier, which they included pictures of in their invoice. The invoice was sent on 3/6/25, though showed a due date of 2/5/25, making it over a month late on the same day it was sent. Frustrating, to say the least. Hopefully we'll never find ourselves in a situation where we need to do something like this again. If we do, we most certainly will not be utilizing AK Restoration Pro.

I searched and got a selection of possibilities and read their listings. This was Friday afternoon and I was asking for service as soon as possible. I selected three and sent them a description of task, photos of my driveway and an estimate of measurements of the drive from our AS-Built at closing. I asked they respond with a price estimate and time they could do the job and provided my phone number in addition to the Yelp response. Fanter Services was the first to respond in both Yelp and call my phone with an estimate and a time at 10 am the next morning. The other two replied and one stated he could not take on additional customers this season. The third reply would have been possible but I had already responded to Fanter and booked them. He and his assistant arrived promptly at 10 am and contacted me so I could move our two vehicles. He proceeded to plow my unusual shaped driveway. It is reasonably flat and all concrete. But nearing the house it spreads to the left to park a vehicle and provides a path to the porch. On the right is a large two car shop with the driveway flowing at 90 degrees straight to the entrance. He plowed all those areas very at a very reasonable price. I asked if he could take us on as a regular customer and he agreed. I told him to return any time he thought appropriate or when it snowed over four inches. If it is a multiple day snow storm to wait until it quits before plowing. My first attempt at using his services and Yelp was outstanding.
