Awesome new basement floor. Looks great.

Rapid Response fixed water damage in my basement wall, and also removed the basement carpeting and replaced it with vinyl flooring. The end result was excellent. Vance was particularly helpful and generous in offering extra insights and tips. However, the paint job they did on the treads of my basement stairs was cheap; one accidental nick with a shoe heel as I descended the staircase was enough to chip the paint off (I guess they only did one coat), and when I taped the treads to paint the walls, the painters tape took a lot of paint off the treads when removed. That was disappointing and will require more work on my end, so I can't say it was 5 stars and perfect. But overall, this job was superb, and I am highly satisfied. The basement looks awesome, and I can rest easy knowing that my basement is dry.

From the first call with Daryl, I knew this was the right fit. He was a great communicator and prompt in his response. We had a fridge leak that damaged our wood floors in the kitchen and leaked into basement ceiling. They were a one-stop-shop to: perform damage remediation (dried out the floor and ceiling), repair (fixed drywall, replaced floor boards, sanded and stained entire first floor - including moving all our furniture and appliances - cleaned ducts and surfaces, painted). Nick, the project lead, is my hero. He was so helpful - addressed all my questions and put me at ease - and made some incredible recommendations that helped us transform our space. They brought in a great team (love Alan!) who were respectful and enjoyable. They also helped us navigate the insurance process. I really can't say enough great things about them. It was such an annoying issue to deal with, but they made it so much better.

We had a great experience with this company. Adam was at our house the same day the water damage…read moreoccurred, got to work almost immediately, was very responsive and communicated well throughout the process. He made sure our house was still functional (e.g. kept our washer and dryer running) during the remediation process and helped us smoothly navigate the process from start to finish. I would recommend!

I hired this company for mold remediation and was very disappointed. The crew on-site was polite…read moreand super nice, but the process did more damage than the work itself. I was never told my built-ins would be completely removed, I only discovered it after the fact. Had I known, I could have arranged for proper removal, but instead they were torn out in a way that left them unsalvageable, costing me thousands to replace. Afterward, the company pointed to the notes fine print rather than acknowledging the lack of communication. If you use them, insist on a clearly explained scope of work. If you rely on professionals to help you navigate confusing home repairs, like myself, these aren't your guys. Update to response: First, I want to be clear that I don't believe Adam or the company ever acted with any intent to mislead me or cause harm. I think this situation came down to a lack of communication that unfortunately left me in a difficult position. About 90% of what Adam said in his response is true, but none of it directly addresses my actual concern. The real issue is whether the company made sure I fully understood the scope of work. Perhaps Adam thought... what idiot would not see it was obvious that the entire built-ins would need to be removed? Hi... it's me, I'm the idiot and truly I had no idea. I thought only a portion of my ceiling would be affected. Given the huge difference between what I understood and what actually happened, I believe the company should have explained this much more clearly. Like many homeowners, I rely on professionals to explain the scope of work in plain terms. I think that's a reasonable expectation. Adam is correct with my quote below but he left out the part where I explained that my issue was solely that I didn't know the built-ins were being removed. This was never clearly communicated to me, nor was I given the opportunity to remove them properly myself. Because of that, I feel my ability to make informed decisions was taken away. I only reached out to Adam directly later, after another contractor told me the closet could have been saved and that the removal was "unnecessarily destructive." Whether that's true or not, I'll never know. because I wasn't given the chance to find out. To clarify, the note about the built-ins wasn't hidden in "fine print," but it was only mentioned once in the "Other Notes" section. It was never discussed verbally, by email, or over the phone, and it wasn't included in the detailed action items. I don't think a single mention buried in a notes section qualifies as meaningful disclosure, especially when no one pointed it out or explained its implications. Perhaps Adam does. Lastly, the other points raised, like the quality of the closet materials, water damage, or insurance support, are not relevant to my concern. My issue has always only been about the lack of clear communication regarding the scope of work. Thank you.

We had issues with moisture and mold in our apartment due to water getting into failing caulk and…read moregrout lines. We contact multiple vendors to come and looks at the issue, but none were as thorough and experienced as Mark and his team. From the beginning to end, the experience has been stellar. Mark arrived to look at the issue promptly. He was able to identify the issue accurately and was honest about the necessary scope of the remediation work. (Other vendors suggest a smaller fix which ,in hindsight, would not have solved our issue in the long run and would require additonal work later on) Throughout the entire process, he constantly communicated the progress of the work and kept us update on the schedule, something that we appreciate since its the first time we have to deal with mold and water issues. Last but not least, Mark and his team take great care in carrying out the work and handling our belongings in the work area. If you need any restoration work done, I definitely recommend Quality Assurance Restoration.

Fantastic work. Great value. Even better guys. Mark and his team did a phenomenal job…read more We discovered water puddling in our crawlspace right under where our furnace is. I contacted a few different people, but Mark was the first to be willing to make it out to us that same day. After checking out the damage, he put my mind at ease and gave us the rundown of his plan of running a few fans and dehumidifiers in our utility closest and in the crawlspace. I asked him a bunch of questions I had, and he answered each one with ease and helped me understand what was going on. In the end, Mark and his team set up the fans and dehumidifiers in the spaces and left them for a few days. We were considering getting new tiling and he recommended Jose from Neza Restoration & Repair. Jose and Fernando also did a really good job. What makes Mark stand out from the rest is his availability, clear communication, and just being a down to earth guy. I felt I could trust Mark, and may have overstepped when asking for advice outside of water damage, but was he willing in answering and helping me out. God forbid I have more water damage in my future, but if I do, Mark and his team are the first ones I'll contact. And I'll be referring them to every person I know seeking water damage help from now on.

Last week I had a fire in my home, it was about 4:00 am in the morning, in less than 20 minutes I…read morehad several board-up companies outside. Getting my kids and dogs out of the house was my priority, but looked like these companies could care less, they wanted my business. The fire department put out the fire, it was a big fire, my home is not livable at the moment, we lost everything. I picked a board up company and they boarded the windows and doors. They tried to get my business for the rest of the work inside the home but the Fire Department advised me not to sign anything until I spoke with my insurance company. There were so many public adjusters outside fighting for me to sign on, it was scary. I went to my parents house, called my insurance company and they recommended ServiceMaster by Zaba, within 5 minutes I received a call from Brittney at the office, she had a crew arrive onsite in less than 30 minutes. When i showed up to the my house i could not get out of the car, there were a bunch of public adjusters waiting for me, they were ghetto and yelling at each other, I had to call the police. I called the Service Master manager which I was able to identify based on their yellow trucks. He walked over to my car and we walked to the house, i could not believe how unprofessional the public adjusters were, they were yelling ignorant comments. I dont what makes them think anyone would want to do business with them. One of the Public Adjusters walked into my home and bluntly told me, he can rebuild my home to be my dream home and put money in my pocket! I was so mad, I kicked him out. I was impressed at how professional ServiceMaster by Zaba was. They kept their cool throughout the process and were never disrespectful to any of those jerks, they focused on me and my home and asked how my family was. I had smoke, soot and water damage everywhere, of course at this point nothing was salvageable. The adjuster arrived while we were there, we spent about 3 hours going over the work that needed to take place and the expectations. I am very happy and blessed to have been recommended ServiceMaster by Zaba, the process so far has been easy and they are handling all the communication with my insurance company. Neil, Joseph, Alecia and the rest of the team and office staff have been amazing. I hope no one experiences a fire, they are devastating and sometimes fatal, but they are not avoidable. Please make a wise decision, be aware of signing with a public adjuster, speak with your insurance company first. I highly recommend ServiceMaster by Zaba, they are a great company with great staff.

Amazing service, fast and great work! Lovely staff as well! I've booked their water damage services…read moreas well as upholstery. What an amazing job they did! They completed work in a couple days and were great at communicating what was going on since I've never dealt with water damage before. They have a separate residential team who cleaned my couch and rug and made it look brand new.
