I recently worked with Ely Rubin and his team to handle a remodel after a flood in my home and I couldn't be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, Ely was professional, communicative, and incredibly kind and caring. His team was efficient and great to have around. They were all great- special shout out to Mario for always going above and beyond! The remodel turned out great and the entire process was handled with care and attention to detail. It's rare to find a contractor who is both highly skilled and great to work with and cares about you and your home like it's their own. This is exactly what you will get with Ely. I highly recommend him and his team for any project. read more

We had a leak in our roof that caused significant water damage in our home. We worked with Restoration Solutions to determine both the extent of the damage and to do the remediation and repair work. Kevin provided a fair quote and was able to quickly get his team of Jose and Edwin to our home to do the remediation work. I was impressed with how they were able to contain the mess and were respectful of our home. We worked with Jim to do all of the repairs and he kept our project on schedule and always answered all questions promptly. The quality of workmanship was excellent, we would hire Restoration Solutions again. read more

We worked with Ely and Restoration Solutions on repairs for our rental property remotely. We were really worried about doing this from across the country but Ely made it really easy on multiple fronts: - he worked seamlessly with our insurance company, handled all the paperwork and even explained the process to me multiple times - he was responsive, used FaceTime to show materials options and sent lots of updates and photos - went above and beyond in the execution, recommending materials and bringing his expertise to the work Would happily work with him again! read more

Ely Rubin from Restoration Solutions is by far the best person/company I have ever worked with when the unpredictable damage happens to you. In a day where customer service does not seem to be a priority anymore, this company has truly exceeded my expectations and needs to be called out for its exceptional service, commitment and professionalism. As a new tenant of a townhouse I am renting, a single parent with a high stress job, there was a toilet that had overflowed causing damage to the entire first floor of my new home. One month of living here and to find out there was a broken pipe, weeks of damage to repair and a huge job to take on, Ely Rubin, and his crew were a bright light and gift to a really rough situation that the owners of the property and I found ourselves in! From the very start, the communications with the owners, Ely and I flowed with ease due to the professional and non-stop amazing work ethic from Ely and his team. Ely eased the owners and my worries and walked us through each step daily. Ely's team was respectful, courteous, and amazing at what they do and proud of not only their work but to be working for this company. It was so great to see and hear the praise Ely gave his team on a daily basis and I honestly would not have wanted or trusted a better crew to be in my home. Ely communicated with the owners and always kept me up to date with the approval of each next step in this process. [This could have easily been a renter and home owner nightmare without this communication] I work from home for a very large law firm and my job is extremely busy and sometimes stressful. After weeks of being in my home and watching the non-stop daily work of this crew, I started to breakdown as I was not able to unpack yet from the move, furniture was in different rooms and I became almost sad/depressed because this was so very overwhelming. Ely heard it in my voice, jumped into action even more so than usual and daily walked me through the steps and pushed for completion from a crew that was already working non-stop to get the job done. He went beyond to keep me from cracking and consulted me by way of confirming my stresses and keeping me focused on the timeline of the next events and completion. In a world where many people complain rather than to promote and uplift, I am writing this review to let my community know, that this is the man, the crew and the company that you want on your side during a rough, unpredictable, and stressful time. Ely is truly a light when it seems so dark and is so frustrating. The owners of the property and I could not be happier with his work, his professionalism and his continued communications especially when the new renter, me, was about to crack. I am normally always very happy and the positive one in situations, and was until the restoration was taking weeks from construction, to asbestos clean out, quality control, restoration, painting, flooring, etc.... a lot of work! I will not hesitate to refer everyone to Ely for any and all restoration work. He is a true professional and after weeks of working with him, a forever contact/asset in my rolodex of must use when it comes to restoration of any kind. Here is his business card when needed. You will not be sorry and if anything I will say your welcome in advance! Thank you Ely, the crew and restorations solutions for being truly an amazing asset when thrown into a disaster of a situation that could not have been predicted/prevented. Forever grateful! ~ Natalie read more

Restoration Solutions - Call Ely! You will not regret it! - Damage Restoration Near Me - San Diego, California

After sustaining significant water damage caused by former tenants, I was connected to Jim and restoration solutions through USAA. What normally would have been a painful process was nothing but easy and stress-relieving. Jim and his crew displayed persistent professionalism, timeliness, and true mastery of their various trades throughout the renovation process. From the onus of the project, Jim was communicative and responsive, never hesitating to answer any of my questions. While I do hope I never sustain that level of water damage again, I know exactly whom to call if I do. read more

First allow me to apologize for a delayed review of our experience with Restorations Solutions and Jack, our Project Manager. Our project/restoration wrapped up mid-summer 2024. We had the misfortune of a vehicle failing to stop upon entering our driveway. At the end of the day an uninsured motorist inflicted $55,000.00 of damage without consequence. Not wanting any part of pretending to be a General Contractor I accepted our Property Insurances offer of selecting one of their vetted contractors. A wise decision, especially in heavily regulated California. While I cant say the process was flawless or enjoyable our Project Manager Jack, made the process go as smooth as a dysfunctional City of San Diego permitting department allowed. While permitting was slow Jack communicated every delay religiously. Once a part of the permitting process was complete Jack had sub-contractor scheduled within days. So many facets from Hazmat evaluations and abatements, to a City of San Diego Historical background and revised building plans to bring our late 1960's track home up to present day earthquake standards, to Final Inspections, Jack handled the headaches all while communicating unavoidable delays. Coordination all the trades would have been a nightmare for a homeowner not familiar with the challenging processes. Jack was a lifesaver and restored our sanity as well as our property. It was as if every contractor, contents removal to finishing painters knew what a homeowner goes through. All very accommodating and left the jobsite as clean as possible at the end of the work day. There is not a single Trades person I wouldn't have back to work on my home. There were challenges (not many) during the project, just like one can see in any home renovation show that Jack handled effectively all while assuring us he'd handle it. These few issues were handled immediately in our presence. Most noteworthy to me was Communication! My experience with Restoration Solutions was such that I'd recommend them to anyone that has a fine appreciation communication and high-quality craftsmanship. Thanks, Jack, for Life and Property restored! read more

The washer drain kinked and my entire downstairs flooded. After my previous experience with RS, I called Ely and he responded immediately. The house was dried quickly and they repaired everything. I felt safe having the crew home alone. Thank you Ely for everything. read more

Wonderful experience. Jim Thurber and his team were A plus in our book. We had a water leak in our rental home in the city of Oceanside that required new walls, bathroom, and more. They started as they said they would, the timing, and work completed was as stated. The quality of the work from all of his subcontractor's is top notch. There was a delay on flooring, but not there issue. it was the supplier. The whole project was scheduled for about 2 and a half weeks. With the delay is was still finished in about 3 weeks. Our tenant is thrilled, and so are we. Would call them back without delay for any future work, and will definitely reccomend them to friends and family. Thanks again to Restoration Solutions and Jim Thurber. read more

We had a great experience with Jim from Restoration Solutions after our home sustained water damage from a burst pipe! We appreciated his attentiveness, reachability, and ability to work with us to complete our project in a timely manner. He brought our home back to its pre water damage condition and did a bathroom remodel and we couldn't be more happy with the end result! We were also happy with how courteous and respectful of our home Jim and his team were. We would definitely use them again in the future! read more

Jim was great to work with. He guided us through the entire process, always looked out for our best interest, and was quick to respond to email/text/calls. Highly recommend working with restoration solutions and Jim! read more

WOW! Contractors that exceed expectations! Jim was absolutely amazing....honest, ethical, kind and fun to work with. 98% of the time, he would get back to me when I texted or called within minutes. The other times may have been hours. His communication was spot on. He didn't try to blow smoke up our butts by telling us the work would be done earlier than it was. I believe he gave worse case scenario and then exceeded expectations by being done about 2 weeks earlier than he originally told us. Anyone who has ever hired a contractor knows this is very unusual indeed! Our job was pretty much a complete renovation due to a burst pipe. All new kitchen, floors, painting, etc. Jim worked well without our insurance adjustor too! Thank you so much Jim! Sharon read more

I never leave a bad review but I'm very disappointed in this company. I talked to Kevin who had came to assess my home. After assessment, they never got back to me. I texted Kevin. Also spoke to the restoration solutions via yelp and they just told me to talk to Kevin. Given that water damage is time sensitive, I reached out to a different company and had great results with them. read more

We unfortunately had a leak from our upstairs bathroom tub to the kitchen, I am so glad we were paired with Restoration Solutions. Our contractor Jack was incredibly organized and made sure everything was taken care of. The team he has accomplished everything that was done to our bathroom and kitchen from drywall, ,Asbestos, demo, pipes, tile, cabinets, countertops, painting, and making sure the unfortunate mold was gone. We have 2 dogs ( also 2 very curious cats) and work a lot, we did not feel comfortable living our pets and so my husband and I split being home when something was getting done, Jack was very patient with us and worked with us with our schedule to make sure one of us was home and we really appreciated it. He is also very honest and gets straight to the point which was extremely helpful since we have never gone through something like this. Darien took care of my kitchen cabinets which ended up needing to be completely changed since there was water damage. When we meet Darien he was very attentive and super nice. He absolutely went above and beyond with the design and installation of our new cabinets. Everything he did was detailed and with thought which we really appreciate. The guys that were in my home were very respectful and professional, unfortunately I do not have all the names but we appreciate the professionalism and work ethic everyone showed when working on the problems in our bathroom and kitchen. The pictures don't do the new kitchen any justice, it looks beautiful! Thank you, From the Guillen family. read more

I have been in the construction industry for over 20 years. I recently sold my home and rented a one bedroom condo. Due to water leaks from broken water heater pipe and leak from unit upstairs; I've been out of my condo since 12/9/24. Ely and his crew have been working nonstop getting me back into my rental. Very professional and courteous. Communication, service, honesty, quality of work were all above and beyond what I expected. I am forever grateful. Found Ely working on a Friday evening after hours just to get me back in my unit. Thanks to Ely and his crew. I'm finally feeling there is an end to this nightmare. read more

I don't often write reviews but after dealing with damage in both my bathrooms due to a leak from above and not knowing exactly who to trust when it came to what needed to be done, Ely and his team were my saviors. Not only was Ely a professional throughout the entire process but he. Really made me feel as if i could finally put the entire situation in their hands and trust that they would see it through to the end. He was always happy and encouraging to ask any questions I was having no matter how silky they were and gave me everything the insurance company needed the time to begin the mitigating and repair process. Everything was done. Quickly and exactly as promised. Just making a nightmare situation less so. An upstanding companyyou can trust Thankyou read more

I have a complicated issue that I've had difficulty getting someone to help me with. I was lucky that Jack answered my call today as he gave me some great advice on how to move forward. Even though my next step didn't require his company's services, he spent the time walking me through the next steps. Much appreciated! Thank you so much! read more

Ely Rubin was great. Unfortunately, I was not able to have Restoration Solutions do the work on my two bathrooms because of an error I made in signing a pre-work contract initially with another company. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I won't regret not spending the additional $1000 that the first contractor was holding me to for the pre-work estimates and inspection that he did. However, between the time that I received Restoration Solutions recommendation from my AAA insurance company to the time yesterday when I made the decision to go with the first contractor, ELY was extremely professional, competent, thorough, patient, and very articulate in explaining the work that he would do with his team and later helping me through what my options would be to work with him or to go with the first contractor. Before I receive the original contractor $1000 invoice I had told ELY that I would go with him and I did give him a 10% down payment for the work. he told me very clearly that the money would be returned to me and he was very gracious and helpful as I was making my decisions. As you can probably tell by my review, bathroom, plumbing and vanities and drywall are not strong suit. I felt very confident during my brief time working with ELY that the company would do a very good job. read more

Restoration Solutions came to me when I had lost hope in a working bathroom for Thanksgiving. Jim@restsol.com gave me a reality check. He stated that it might not be completed by the Holiday.

Above all their customer service was above "Excellent "! They respected me, my family and my home! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ely at Restoration Solutions. As a Claims Adjuster of 30 years myself, the last thing I wanted to deal with was my own claim.

My husband and I live in a two bedroom one bath house. We've lived in our since 1980 and raised our family here. It's a very special home to us. A water leak in the kitchen took out the kitchen and bathroom. We submitted a claimed a claim to insurance and met Ely Rubin from Restoration Solutions. From the beginning to the end Ely was always available, communicating, lining things up and listening to us. His advice and knowledge about the flow of getting us back in our home as well as working with the insurance company was invaluable. Ely and team, we are forever grateful for your help and guidance in our time of need! God bless Ely and all the team of people who made our home a home again! Warm Regards, Leslie Shaw read more

We did a full remodel with restoration solutions. We love the cabinets, tiling work, painting, and now the flooring. We did originally have some unforeseen complications come up with our flooring but the owner Tooraj went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied in the end. The way Tooraj cares for his business is unlike many other contractors out there. You can tell he genuinely cares about you and your concerns. So thankful for them being amazingly kind people and making our house a home again! read more

Kevin Ely and the crew are the consummate professionals. My shop flooded and they walked me thru the whole process and handled every stage of the restoration process beautifully. My shop is good as new. Cant recommend this team enough. Thx guys read more

We had a slab leak which resulted in quite a bit of damage to our flooring and carpeting. Jim Thurber, from Restoration Solutions, provided a competitive quote and was able to start work the following week. The flooring we chose to replace our damaged flooring was on back order. Once the flooring was in stock, the RS team started work a couple of days later and finished a day earlier than planned. The quality of the work is excellent and the construction personnel completing the work were professional, friendly and very hard working. We highly recommend Restoration Solutions! read more

Dealing with water damage is always stressful but Tooraj and the team at Restoration Solutions made it as painless as possible.

The repair job looks great and we're very happy with how it turned out. We definitely recommend them! read more

We had water damage from a leaky roof after rain. The workers' drive time to get to our house was apparently factored into their work hours, so the they would arrive a half-hour or more late, eat lunch, and then leave for the day. The latest they would work was about 3 pm. They built a platform to work on, which they nailed, indiscriminately, directly into our solid wood railings, damaging the wood in several places. They uninstalled our wall light fixture, but then they drywalled over the electrical wires, leaving them in wall, and did not reinstall the fixture. They were going to charge thousands of dollars just to paint, so we ended up doing the painting ourselves. We had a bunch of extra baseboard, which we told them was in the garage, but they told us we didn't have enough. Our tenants told us the guys never even looked in the garage, where we had more than enough baseboard and moulding. Unfortunately, our tenants just wanted the guys out of the house, because they were messy and had taken so long, so we didn't know about all the problems until after we signed off on the work. I would never recommend this company to anyone. Overpriced, took too long/lazy, shoddy workmanship, inconsiderate. read more

They bribed me with $500 off originally to write a positive review, which apparently is meant to trick other customers into hiring them. The remodel performed by Restoration Solutions was incredibly half-baked and had very poor workmanship. They busted the faucet when reconnecting it to give us a surprise mold problem a few months later. They also LOST the legs to my dishwasher and used wood to prop up the dishwasher so it "looked" fine. Very poor, un-taped paint job leaving a splotches of paint on the door frames. Never connected an outlet inside one of the cabinets leaving exposed wires. The list goes on. Stay clear of this company! read more

Kudos to Jack Manata I called Restoration Solutions to replace all the carpet in my condo. The guys were on time, professional, and quick. They were careful with my furniture and my cat!! Jack Manata was the project manager and kept in communication with me throughout the process. Jack Even replied to my after-hour texts. The work came out amazing. Then, i had a small flood and Jack and his team came back to relay the brand new carpet and clean it again. It looks just like new. Thanks Jack!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

In 2015, a carpenter was replacing an interior door casing in my condo and saw what appeared to be black mold behind the existing casing. I contacted four different mold remediation companies to come take a look and provide estimates. Three of the four gave me estimates that started at around $1,500. Jim Thurber from Restoration Solutions came, inspected and said, "There's a time to take your money, and this isn't it." He recommended I spray it--I think with a bleach-based solution. I SO appreciated Jim's honesty. I followed his suggestion and saved a bunch of money. read more

We've used Restoration Solutions before when we had a leak in our kitchen and found them to be wonderful. They told us it would be a month to get everything remediated and they stayed on track timewise. They also came in less than what the insurance company would allow, which I found miraculous in itself. So now, we just got done using Restoration Solutions for a bathroom remodel that we wanted to do to match our new kitchen. Jack Manata and his team kicked ass again. Jack's team didn't do much design (we did the designing) but Jack and his team matched our vision perfectly. We did both bathrooms and they were finished in the timeframe Jack said it would and it turned out amazing. Sadly we are out of places to remodel, now, in our condo but there's no doubt we would go to Restoration Solutions for the next accident OR remodel. read more

Restoration Solutions - Guest bathroom shower - Damage Restoration Near Me - San Diego, California

Way overdue review for a company who we can't recommend enough. When our kitchen flooded just before Covid, we had zero experience with anything related to a remodel. I'm so thankful to have found Restoration Solutions (especially Jack Manata) to lead us through the process. Jack eased our minds from the very beginning, helped walk us through the process and made the entire job easy and as no stress as a kitchen remodel can be! Post Covid, when we decided to remodel both of our bathrooms, we contacted Jack to see if he was available to work with us. Thankfully he was and we couldn't be happier with the end product. Everything about the job was smooth, reassuring and quality. Jack stuck to the bid and really was always available for us and all of our questions and unknowns throughout the way. I have suggested him to family who are already working with him and seen the beautiful work there as well! I really have zero complaints! From what I hear of others experiences with other companies, we are so thankful that we found RS and Jack when we did! Thanks so much! read more

We had water damage from a pipe burst in our neighbor's unit. After starting with our neighbor's contractor, our insurance agent required a second estimate. We were so impressed with Tooraj and his team that we paid to get out of our contract with the other contractor and go with Restoration Solutions. We couldn't be happier with that decision. Not only did Restoration Solutions do an amazing job, but they also completed weeks earlier than expected. Their project team did a great job communicating with our tenants throughout the construction, working with them to minimize the inconvenience. We hope that we do not have water damage in the future, but if we do, our first call will be to Restoration Solutions! read more

I can't speak highly enough of Jim Thurber (project manager) and his entire team of subcontractors at helping my wife and I turn a very frustrating situation (pipe leak/water damage in kitchen) to something really awesome, a fully remodeled kitchen. Jim is a very friendly guy who is great to talk to and gets the job done. Firstly, I had a bad experience with a previous plumbing contractor, and Jim and his team have restored my faith in finding quality and honest contractors to work with. I will definitely be keeping his contact information for any future projects that my wife and I want to have done. I was referred to Restoration Solutions through my homeowner's insurance (AAA) when I started my water damage claim. Jim came out and performed his estimate and was very upfront and honest with me about everything. We were initially just going to repaint and replace the damaged cabinets and have them all painted. After a lot of thought and consideration, my wife and I wanted to seize the moment and just remodel the entire kitchen, especially since the remaining, undamaged cabinets would still be 30 years old on the inside and not match the rest of the new cabinets. It obviously cost more to remodel the whole kitchen, but this was just one of those situations where it was completely worth the extra money. Able and his team (demo, paint, and drywall) did an awesome job. Alex and his team (cabinets and trim) did an awesome job. Jaime and DJ (countertops) did an awesome job. Mark (the electrician) did an awesome job. (Don't remember the plumber's names) but they did an awesome job. Jim's timeline for the entire project was pretty spot on, within a few days of targeted date. As I said earlier, he was very upfront and honest about everything, so my wife and I knew exactly what to expect. All of the subcontractors were extremely respectful and considerate of my wife and I's schedules and working from home on certain days. Jim's pricing was very reasonable and competitive to other quotes I received and we are incredibly happy with the final results. Thank you Jim and the rest of the team from Restoration Solutions. read more

I'm not one to give reviews, but given this experience, I would lose sleep if I let this opportunity pass. I learned the hard way how devastating water damage can be to one's home, and this happened in the midst of caring for my elderly father, who was simultaneously diagnosed with complex health issues. One or the other is manageable, but the two together made for a stressful few months. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the silver lining and unexpected gift of Ely Rubin, who provided top-notch expertise, consistent and honest communication along the way, accountability and unwavering commitment (which is hard to come by these days), unmatched professionalism in the world of home restoration, complete with a crew of contractors and vendors, all of whom exude a passion for their craft, and the results are nothing short of superb quality - not to mention completing on time and within budget. Before too long, what I thought would be months of high stress was quickly reduced by 50%, because when Ely Rubin cares for your home, it's as if he's caring for his own. In the world of business and service, few things amaze me, and Ely Rubin is one of those few things. I thank you, Ely, and Restoration Solutions for returning my home to me in much higher quality than when I left it. I wish you all prosperity and continued success - you certainly deserve it! read more

Extremely pleased! Amazing, on time and cost effective service. Quick communication via text with Jim who did a great job coordinating my water damage repairs. Andy and Luis were excellent and produced quality work. Highly recommend! read more
