They subcontract out several of your projects bexuaee they don't have the man power. Anyways if you want the owner wife showing up to pack out your belongs in a Porsche Taycan then this is the company to hire. ( that was a red Flagg). She was nice and her work crew was better than the basement group staff. Then they will loose your inventory Sept 2022 request to return all my stuff back and return it in pieces 2 years later. Call them or email and you get responses back months later. And then no communication till they take you to civil court. While I was nice and gave them 35 k to start the job with one page invoice. Then the insurance company is telling me my deductible was placed under one of there sub contractors they had our contents removed. What a joke. Well if you have a fire and want a company that hires people than have poor work ethic this is them. We terminated them because of gross mis -management. Asking to move back in our home and the owners decides to go to Poland. Then when they return to they used the excuse they were @ there lake house. While State Farm left us @ the hotels. Moving forward. They never gave itemized bills just money they could attempt to extract from State Farm. Be weary of what u sign with them. Also look up how many people they have take to civil court. I have videos and pictures from our surveillance caneras of the staff coming around after 10 am. Taking long lunches in the park. Sitting idlinggggg g the master group trucks. Coming back in the house after lunch work for about less then hour and then head back to Barrington because of traffic delays. Keep away from this company. Billing !!! they will attempt to bill your insurance and if the insurance denies them they will go after you. Without even provide a billing of what they actually did. They will damage your belongings more so than any natural damages such as a fire in a home. If you value your home than there is no value to this restoration company.

You and your project manger Jim provide the highest possible customer service and your team of specialists are outstanding in their respective specialties. My story began with a leaky pie just before Christmas. We had a pipe leaking into our downstairs bathroom area where we used the space as a family room and office. I have a friend who is a plumber, he took a quick look at and told us not to use water upstairs and he was coming back on New Year's Day. He came an opened the wall and told me we were going to need a restoration company as the water damage would be severe. He called you and you showed up two hours later New Year's. That was impressive. You instructed me to call my insurance and make a claim. You were confident the damage would be covered under my policy. I did that and on January 3, the adjuster called and was coming in two hours. I sent you a text and you replied immediately and would join the meeting. You knew the adjuster, and I am sure that is not a standard service you provide, it was an immense help. In subsequent conversations, you told me he was a good and fair adjuster. He told me you were an honest and highly professional organization We had a preliminary estimate and approval to proceed in less than one week. During the process, you updated the estimate and got approval as more damage was discovered as we peeled the reconstruction onion. We held a call with you and myself and my wife, where we discussed the type and selection of material we required. You got them approved and coached us a flooring and, tile, paint, and carpeting. The project began with demolition, proceeding to asbestos removal, to reconstruction. Each phase was completed in a timely manner and each service provider was courteous, professional, and highly competent. Any glitch along the path was resolved by your project manager, Jim. A great guy. The project took about 30 days from the start. The result was a beautiful new bathroom, a new asbestos free area and new carpeting. Thank you. If anyone wants to call me for reference, please give them my number. Rich

Absolute Pros. I am in the middle of using Powerhouse for…read morethe second time. Several years ago a branch tore a hole in my roof. I would have been happy with some cleanup and general repair. Powerhouse worked with my insurance company and got asbestos abatement done, helped redesign weak initial construction, and made sure I got every bit of the work I needed. In the past I would have taken whatever the Insurance Company offered and tried to do some of the work myself. They did it all for me, kept the rest of the house completely clean and worked with us to keep us informed along the way. Four years later a giant tree fell on my garage. I called them right away. They have had roofing specialists, engineers and managers out to review the site and are pushing to get everything properly paid for. In the middle of everything else 2020 they are still the total professionals! Call them and sit back and relax!

My plumber recommended I call ServiceMaster by Zaba to clean up the damage. The process was more complex than I thought, the burst pipe was on the second floor bathroom, there was damage on the second floor but the first floor and basement suffered more damage. Interesting thing about water is that it travelers in the weirdest direction and can cause extensive damage. Needless to say once ServiceMaster came out they did an inspection, spoke with my insurance company and began their work. I have a small child at home, my husband and I both work from home on occasion so this was on overwhelming situation. ServiceMaster did a great job, they were fast, efficient, and professional. There was a lot of damage in my home so I had to be placed in a hotel for a few weeks. They completed their services quickly, they also packed our belongings and took them to the hotel for us. They are going to be starting the reconstruction of our home this week. So far I am impressed and satisfied with their work. ServiceMaster by Zaba is a great company, I would recommend them to friends and family. I worked with a lot of the staff but my point of contact were Joseph and Alecia, everyone was wonderful and very accommodating.

Their idea of 'no rush' and mine are clearly different. How hard is it to work up an estimate? I contacted 3 other places in the meantime and they're all around the same price.

I said ok I looked at that review my insurance adjuster had issued and part of the check belonged to me. They had an addendum for the opening and closing of the concrete which I believe was $2300. John turner said I should hand him the check plus my deductible and if there was anything left when they were done I'd get my portion of the check back via check or cash (strike 1) All the floor got cleaned the paneling and drywall cut, I'm assuming the framing cleaned as well. Concrete poured, dumpster filled. Dehumidifier going. I received check from insurance company and told john turner I had to send it which I overnighted it to my mortgage company and he said and we gonna keep charging and keep going. Friday was the last day their crew was here, Saturday they poured concrete (paid $700 for outside concrete guy, (said concrete would be completely dry I. 24-36 hours) charged me $1000 for making a phone call) nobody came Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Monday then a lone woman came prolly to clean up dust from concrete work. Nobody told me nothing that nobody was coming out for over a week. Strike 2 and 3. This Job started end of October my house is flipped upside down inside out. Their crew I understand in and out they propped screen door open but for like 3 days while taking out trash left the prop on and unfortunately bent my rear screen door. I'm hoping they sell the door closer at Home Depot because it's completely bent. I told them if they are waiting for the check to complete the job then don't come back. I don't pay my auto mechanic before they do repairs. I don't pay carpet cleaners before they clean carpets. Why would I pay for a $19,000 job + after deductible when the demo isn't even completed. Hell they didn't even tear the carpet off the stairs. I'm sure I paid for the dumpster. I received check on Saturday deposited it cleared on Wednesday. John turner picked up check for the demo work they did (over $7000) picked up check and told my wife the dumpster was being picked up tomorrow. Is that his call? Or is it because he was fired for job abandonment without telling homeowners hey we're not coming back for over a week (not the week of thanksgiving probably 2nd week in November) Don't get me wrong they did a phenomenal job with the demo work. Just to much negatives to continue with this company. I got guys coming out to hang drywall at $16 a sheet. Flooring im gonna do as well as painting. Gonna have to order a new dumpster and pay for another 1 because NatCat thinks my adjuster is their liaison and my adjuster is gonna contact me. You'd think you open your home to this company and homeowners have your company here when homeowners aren't home but do not have the decency to say hey Mr---- or Mrs ----- we ain't gonna be here next week. I got nothing but crickets. Then once paid they call to pickup dumpster and yet leave garbage bags of clothes trashed still in basement.
