He and his partner do all of the work themselves, so you know exactly who you're dealing with from start to finish. He took care of my home as if it was his own, and was responsive, transparent and communicative throughout the entire process. 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. His prices were competitive, and he sent us a certificate of completion at the end.

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.

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.

In an industry where it can be difficult to know who you can trust, Joe's integrity really stood out. I'm extremely thankful I called Restoration Pros. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, straightforward, and genuinely has your best interests in mind, I highly recommend Joe Malo and Restoration Pros!

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.

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.

(To start, I was yelled at on the phone today because I just wanted to know if my email was…read morereceived about everything that happened) The worst and craziest experience of my life. I don't want to come across as just some Karen. But every visit had things that are just absolutely insane. *The first visit was the worst, the very first conversation I had with the worker in my house was to get confirmation that my home insurance claim was indeed approved before tearing up my kitchen floor boards. He told me he'd ask his boss, then told me his boss said yes. As I had not heard from the insurance it was approved I asked for an email from his boss to confirm. At that moment (after tearing out my floors) he back tracked and said no he never got confirmation and he just believed it'll be covered but couldn't confirm anything. What?? So you lied to me?? *Second from there on that visit, they tore out more floor boards and toe kicks than necessary. That morning I talked to plumbers about the leak to see what was damaged. They took out more then double what they should have, and destroyed the other floor boards in the process (I believe it's because they assumed they'd get the renovation contract after, but can't confirm). I had spare floor boards in my garage as it was recently renovated, they took out so much unnecessary boards and destroyed enough around it that my 3 full boxes now won't be enough to replace them. Now I have to get new floors all downstairs that won't match my floors upstairs. *Smaller things that day: They kept leaving the doors wide open with my cats (who like to run out) downstairs. I'd have happily put them upstairs if I was told, but I wasn't told anything until I lost my cat and saw that's what they were doing. Also the fact that they said they were done before taking out the most water damaged toe kicks in the kitchen and I had to ask them to do that. They were visibly soaked. *The second visit I was at work and my roommate was home. They were coming just to check the dryness of the walls. I came home to my pantry cabinet torn off the wall and in the garage. And all my food over the counter tops. My roommate told me they didn't know what was going on and was only asked if they could move some food in the cabinet around, then out of nowhere they were asking where they could put the cabinet they took off the wall. I don't know who wouldn't be upset at that. I would have rescheduled them to come out to do that, to give me a moment to make a spot to put it and put away my food. *And to top it off, they didn't mark the walls fully for the wall removal with the asbestos team.. everything is being pushed back because I need a second removal for a wall that was visibly damaged yet not marked to be removed There's so much more, but I'm just trying to mention the big things. Please be careful. I canceled my restoration with them because I was scared to have them enter my house with me home again.
