In short: if you are in Palm Springs / the Coachella Valley area and reading this while having just…read moreexperienced a flood, forget any other "big name" flood response crew. You are not going to find a better team than this. Dan's team is exceptionally skilled, organized, respectful and most importantly FAST- and I wish I'd found them sooner! Full review: When our tenants called about a flood at our rental property in Palm Springs, I panicked and did what I thought was the "safe" move: I hired a big-name local flood response company with decent (but not amazing) reviews. Six days later, the house was somehow still damp. Progress felt slow, and even my insurance adjuster strongly suggested that I do my research when choosing the company to do the repairs once the house was actually dry. I knew I didn't want that first company doing the actual repairs. I turned to Yelp looking for someone who could move fast, work cleanly, and understand the insurance process; someone who could get the job done with attention to detail, given how much attention we'd put into our home initially, but somebody who could work super, super fast. I thought I'd message AVA Flood Restoration and just get a second opinion on how the drying was going. I was on my way out to dinner and Dan (the owner) said he could come over later that night. I was already impressed, but wanted to wait and see what he'd say. Dan came over right at 9pm as promised. He told me that for a house of our size it simply didn't have the right amount of dryers, and that the house should have already been dry given it had been six days. He told me he had a team ready to go that night if needed, but that either way, he could assure me he could work with speed and attention to detail, and had experience with other homes where design was a key element. I slept on it, and the next morning, fired the other company and hired Dan. He took over from the other company right away, brought in about double the number of dryers, and was candid that the prior team had cut corners. That transparency was a huge deal because at that point I just wanted the truth and a clear plan. He handled explaining what had happened to my insurance company so insurance could just pay his team directly rather than me having to act as a middleman. From there, the pace and organization were night and day. Beyond drying, Dan's foreman, Kody, led the rebuild and he's genuinely skilled. New flooring, drywall, electrical and plumbing repairs, cabinets, paint... the whole scope. The crew was also incredibly consistent: they were there every day between 7-8am, and if I had questions they took the time to explain what was happening and why. The #1 reason I'd recommend Dan is communication. I'm a millennial, communication is everything to me. Dan is truly next-level. He responds to everything, is always a phone call away day or night, and he texts frequent updates so you're never left wondering what's going on. A lot of contractors say they communicate well. Dan actually does. Three weeks later, our house was back together and our tenants were back in, honestly better than ever. They made a pretty awful experience as good as it could have been - an enormous thank you to all of you: Dan, Kody, Mike, Derek - while we hope we never have a flood again, if we ever do need a contractor for other work, we absolutely know who to call. By contrast, our neighbors up the street had a similar pipe burst a year prior, and it took them six months to get back to normal dealing with other slower contractors who just didn't prioritize them. If you're dealing with flood damage and need someone who will show up, follow through, and move with urgency, Dan and AVA Flood Restoration are the real deal.

We called Smart Dry Restoration and they were able to send someone out quickly, which was a huge relief. The technicians were polite, professional, and very careful while working in our home. They kept things clean and took the time to explain what they were doing without rushing us or making us feel overwhelmed. Given how stressful the situation was, that really mattered to us. The office staff was also easy to work with and stayed in communication throughout the process. They helped coordinate directly with the insurance company, which took a lot of pressure off of us. Overall, the experience was straightforward and reassuring during a tough situation. We're grateful for how they handled everything and would recommend them to anyone dealing with water damage.

I have never dealt with anything of this nature before . Turned to yelp called a plumber . ( should have called King's at that moment , however I didn't know) Plumber cleared clog , couple days later hour house started to smell. Come to find out the water was black water and worked into walls and carpet. Went back to help and Kings had good reviews . We called them. With-in a hour they were at our house . Juan was our original tech, ran test and determined that we did still have moisture in walls. Advised we needed to vacate house . Our insurance moved us into a hotel. Next day I met with Jared . Who explained the process. Let me be clear , when things are bad they are going to get worse before they get better. Jared explained they were going to have to cut our some drywall. Move cabinets . Run test. Ended up having to remove some tile and our shower too. Cause nasty water went everywhere . I was concerned what our insurance would or would not cover . So I asked Kings to please communicate with my insurance to make sure I would not get stuck with a bill for anything not covered . Terri and Jared were awesome they communicated the entire time. It's amazing that's company comes in and rips your house apart and you happy while they do it. After they were complete with there part , other contractors were brought in to put house back together again. What a process , hope I never have to do it again . However if it happens I know who my first call will be! Thanks again Kings!

I came out in the morning to leave for work and my garage was flooded. I called my insurance company and they sent me out ServPro. What a joke - The technician that assessed the damage did not leave me with confidence that he knew what he was doing. I was totally unimpressed by the entire process. I told my adjuster that I wanted to use my own vendor. After some online research, I found Gold Coast Flood Restorations. I called and spoke with the owner, Joe Colombo, who answered the phone. His knowledge of the process was immediately evident. Within an hour one of their technicians, Mike Thomas, was at my home. He was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He even found that a room in my house on the other side of the water stand was wet - ServPro didn't find this. I couldn't believe it. The Gold Coast team opened up the drywall on the water heater stand and was able to dry everything and provide the needed mold remediation without having to remove my newer HVAC unit. I was so happy about that. It was such a pleasure to work with the team at Gold Coast Flood Restorations. They are best company for water damage and mold remediation in Santee and San Diego. Their pricing was fair, they are honest and ethical, and they advised me what would be in my best interest. Without hesitation, I would recommend Gold Coast Flood to anyone that has water damage or needs mold remediation. I am so glad that I did not listen to my insurance company and use their preferred vendor. What a disaster that would have been. Thank you Joe, Mike and team for going above and beyond to take care of my family!!! Ten Stars!!
