We tried to hire a design firm for a remodel project but were routed to Restoracore due to project size (owner has multiple businesses). Things were going well... Then a flood happened in our house. We had to divert our attention to getting this fixed. The project manager - Billy Metzger - dragged us through a long protracted project, misdiagnosing part of the issue (e.g. we have a foundation leak and not an issue with our stucco), hired **terrible** subcontractors who didn't show up/overcharged/did work poorly, etc. For example: 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS to replace a WINDOW. They knocked out an 2 exterior walls of stucco in early March without our approval and then left it like this until end of April. We had to keep track of all their mistakes and BEG for someone to come and fix it. We were given extremely poor advice on how to fix things and what to do. We were also asked to PAY IN FULL before services rendered for change orders - and then NO work was done OR it was done incorrectly for months on end. We tried to deal with everything on our own with Billy in good faith and it became a complete nightmare chasing him down as he wouldn't answer the phone or make up excuses on delays or just show up at our house high. We needed up escalating to their office after 5 months and even TODAY in August, the project still not done or fixed. We had to calculate a refund that took us 5 hours to figure out due to the poor accounting on the part of the firm. We signed a release of liability because we don't want to work with them anymore and they issued us a check. In the end, Restoracore fired this guy Billy - if you ever come across him, do NOT work with him. Meanwhile, John is great at Restoracore and was forced to try to salvage the project. But, in the end, we don't have any confidence in this firm and the agreements they made with subcontractors. I feel bad for Restoracore that I have to give them 2 stars (and that's generous). The reality is that this is still poor management on the part of the company. If you are an office manager and not notice that a job that should take maybe 1-2 months is now in month 5 and don't ask any questions... this is a problem. If you see absolutely CRAZY change orders going thru with work incomplete - don't you start to ask questions? We didn't escalate earlier because Billy was basically lying to us and likely his managers. We do appreciate Restoracore not fighting us on the refund but I would still have this company take a hard look at how they approach billing, review of work, sign off on quality of workmanship (no one checking ANYTHING that is was done correctly and it was on us as homeowners), communication, documentation of work, escalations and so on. read more

I worked with RestoraCore to repair damage at my condo caused by a water leak. I heard about them through the water mitigation technician that my home insurance company set up. I have no regrets choosing RestoraCore to work on my place. The project manager, Duncan, has been a pleasure to work with! He was very accommodating in meeting me at the times I was available as well as responsive to all my questions over text and email. He even worked directly with my HOA to initiate the architectural approval process. The best part about Duncan is he really cared about my satisfaction of the completed work. For little things that I wanted a little more attention, he was more than willing to instruct his team to get it done. I'm very content with the end result and even more glad that I chose RestoraCore for the job. read more

I reached out to RestoraCore after seeing an ad promoting them as "different than other contractors." Unfortunately, they were worse. RestoraCore was unresponsive and difficult to work with and I definitely do not recommend engaging with them. read more

Don't bother getting an estimate, they come out but never call you back! Think they choose the projects they want to take on and make the most money! read more

Thanks to Duncan and his team for putting my kitchen back ..awesome work ..thanks again Great job Duncan!!! read more

We recently had a pinhole water leak in one of the walls of a rental property. Considerable water damage done. Several walls had to be opened up, the framing then had to be scrubbed, and prepared for restoration. The pantry in the kitchen also had to be completely removed. I contacted Paul Courtwright from Restoracore. By late that evening I received a very detailed estimate of costs for the restoration of this property. Our experience with Restoacore was outstanding. Paul connected all the dots; he worked directly with me as the property owner, the insurance adjuster, and the family leasing the property. I was impressed with the attention to detail in the restoration process and the final product looked brand new. Best of all, Restoracore came in just below the estimated costs. Well done! Thank you. read more

My first impression was my last impression. After a flood, I received a referral to their office and received a call from Nicholas. He went over the company and slightly over the process and we arranged an estimate to be taken of the repairs. We scheduled a time and he texted me to confirm. About an hour before the appointment time, he sent a text saying there is a lot of traffic and was it possible to reschedule for tomorrow or later in the afternoon. So we rearranged childcare and work coverage in order to accommodate the change for the following day. Today, he was a no call no show. We waiting at our property for over an hour and he never showed up. He never texted. And when I reached out for clarification he never responded. So folks...don't get ghosted by a company who is supposed to be your advocate for repairs after a tragedy in your home. You're under enough stress. Move on to someone who is reliable. read more

An absolute pleasure working with Restoracore. I was assigned Steve as our project manager and he was on top of it, stopped by nearly every day, made sure his guys were on the task and doing well. Very receptive to changes and responsive to my questions. I highly recommend this local family owned company for any sort of home project! read more

Unfortunately, They've left a house In my neighborhood abandoned and not worked on all year. People have been using it as a dump site. Neighbors have to request "get it done" to come remove junk and keep vagrants out. I called them to let them know, but the young woman who answered, Verified that it is their property, but said she could not provide any information on if they plan to actually restore the home. read more

I used this company for a remodel of my entire home. I was pretty nervous and slightly untrusting to start due to previous issues I've had with past contractors. My worries/concerns were immediately put at ease by Milan M. Djokich the owner. He took total control and right away made me feel totally comfortable and content with his services. They did an absolutely amazing job and I could not have asked for a better company to remodel my home. Everyone should use this company for any of there remodel needs you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Received a reply to my review stating that I could email with further questions and concerns. However, I am still waiting for a response to my initial emails and phone calls. As a result, customer service and satisfaction are very poor. read more

Recently we had a leak from our second story into the garage. Paul Courtwright from Restoracore came out to our home to assess the damage. He immediately got our repairs set into motion, explaining the steps of how it would all take place. I heard from him that day via email letting us know he had sent the information to our insurance and would be sending the necessary forms so we could get started on repairs right away. Throughout the process, Paul always made himself available for any questions I had. The job was finished in a timely manner. Paul was great to work with, along with his company. I would definitely recommend them! read more

These guys can handle any project you can dream up. I have several friends who have worked with them on projects (large and small) and they are trustworthy and honest in every sense. The team is very knowledgeable in elements of construction ranging from framing and woodworking, to plumbing and building rehabilitation. I would recommend any family member or friend of mine to do business with them. Paul begins your project by coming to visit you and providing a proposal only a day or two later. They are patient and will wait until you believe everything is perfect before beginning work. They offer excellent professional advice and won't let you down. read more

My condo was flooded by a water supply line that had burst in the condo above mine. Every room in my condo was damaged by the water coming from above. The drywall, insulation, shelving, and cabinets all had to be removed. After the restoration was completed, we hired MMD Construction to do the rebuild. They did a magnificent job, and I could not be more pleased with the result. My condo is brand new inside with the new insulation, drywall, texture, paint, shelving, and cabinets installed. I'm happy that MMD's workmanship made my condo look so beautiful inside. I recommend MMD construction. read more

This is a delayed review. I thought I had finished it and found that I had not. We had a refrigerator water line leak that destroyed our flooring and kitchen wall. RestoraCore helped us with our insurance company claim and helped us navigate what needed to be done. They are trustworthy and honest and help with any questions or concerns. read more

We were referred to Restoracore through Rytech (also an outstanding company too that helped us with our water damage due to a leaking water heater). We were extremely satisfied with the wonderful work they did to restore our garage and bedroom affected by the water damage. Both areas look brand new! Duncan who was in charge of overseeing the project was always on top of communication with our insurance and us as his ultimate goal was to make sure we were happy with the process and outcome. Marko who did the drywall repair and painting did a remarkable job and really took the time too to make sure we were happy with his work as he completed it. Both Duncan and Marko were wonderful to work with and put you at ease when having to deal with the effects of water damage to your home! We highly recommend them! Thank you Restoracore!! read more

We have a rental unit in La Jolla that sprung a leak while the tenant was on vacation and the entire unit was damaged. Tom from Milan M. Djokich was the first on the scene after the dry out company made sure there was no mold and everything was good to go for the restoration. We never had a loss or claim with the insurance company prior to this. Tom explained everything in detail, gave us a hug and told everything is going to be put back to exactly how it was prior to the loss. Milan M. Djokich and his team are the real deal. They finished everything exactly how they said they were going to do. We were so impressed with them that we will be using them to remodel our vacation home in Carlsbad later this summer. read more

My home insurance company recommended Restoracore. Duncan visited and discussed all aspects of our basement repair and he also stayed in touch with our insurer. My wife and I appreciated Duncan's people skills, respectful attitude and his construction knowledge. read more

Beyond the Call of Duty. We had a flood in our condo and had to rip out walls, cabinets and floors---what a hassle. Djokich came in and were professional, clean and took care of the problem immediately. We even asked about re-installing the refrigerator after the fact and they accommodated. Thank you to all the guys at Djokich! Life Savers! read more

Milan is a true crafts man and amazing at what he does. They did my kitchen and the end project was amazing thank you so much to Milan and your crew. read more

I have worked with Milan on a handful of renovation projects. As an Interior Designer, it's very important that I bring on the most trustful contracting team I can. Not only did he help make the process for myself and my client smooth, the quality of workmanship throughout the homes are stunning. He has gathered the best of the industry and you can tell how thoughtful and organized he is through the process. Thank you Milan for working side by side with me and my clients! Here's to more projects together! read more

These guys are great help me remodel my bedroom after some water damage.

I ended up using them for a second job, bathroom remodel, I was pleased with the work and highly recommend them. Thanks again Paul! read more

We have worked with Milan on several construction projects and he is all that you would want in a contractor. He is very pleasant, nice, bids the projects accurately, and does a great job on the actual work. Projects that we have worked with him on (as interior designers) have been anywhere from $100,000 - $400,000. We can work with any home-owner type. Can't recommend him enough! read more

I had pipe burst in house and it screwed up my kitchen and family room. After the dry out the insurance company gave me a very low quote on replacing my flooring and cabinets that seemed impossible to get done for that price. I called Paul with restoracore and not only did he get the right pricing I needed from the insurance company, he and his crew did a amazing job on my kitchen and new flooring. The adjuster from the insurance company also really liked him as well and told us he was very easy to work with. I couldn't recommend them more :) read more

A great group to work with. Our townhouse was flooded and so after the water mitigation was completed we needed repairs to the floor, walls, ceiling and bathroom vanity. They did it all and more! Fast, thorough and professional, their team removed the old bathroom vanity, tile flooring, and carpet, and installed new tile for our bathroom, a new vanity and mirror, installed new carpeting for our bedrooms and stairs, installed drywall and baseboards, and painted. Paul and Eric always kept me in the loop about the progress and what to expect. I really appreciate Paul's experience working with our insurance company as well. In spite of the complicated process of claims handling, we felt re-assured when Paul, Eric and their team took on the project and saw it through to the end. We are pleased with their work and recommend them. read more

I recently used Milan M Djokich to finish several small jobs at my home residence. The service provided was dependable, reliable, and most importantly they are very knowledgeable. I have worked with many contractors and there always seems to be some issue with the quality of work, but from beginning to end the quality of work and service I got was exceptional. They gave 100% to make sure I was happy with their work and I was very happy with how helpful and eager to please they were. Thanks for the amazing work, looking forward to using you again in the near future! read more

Milan M. Djokich did an amazing job with our remodel.  He is the first contractor I've ever hired that actually did what he said he would do in the time he quoted.  He did an extensive remodel of our house which included adding a new front entry, new facade on the front of the house, and tile roof.  Milan M. Djokich's team were all great people and had full crews on site the entire time until the project was completed.  Our project moved at an amazing pace and on budget.  I couldn't be happier with our decision to use Milan M. Djokich and his team. read more
