"I'd like to start by saying that I am a huge advocate of buying local but in mid-January when we had a pipe feeding our hose bib burst and flood a bedroom and closet in our basement, we were very happy to find Rocky Mountain Restoration and Nick, he seemed very responsive and eager to help us navigate the situation. I should have had some concerns following the second night of the remediation when I had to turn on all of the fans following his visit, and one day 3 when the bucket he had not informed me needed to be emptied overflowed and migrated the water across the room to previously unaffected areas. However, the more concerning facts came after our settlement with insurance when we asked that they bid the remainder of the work; we were informed that unless we signed a rather prohibitive contract with Rocky Mountain Restoration prior to any further work that they would not supply any cost estimates for the balance of the work, this seemed odd to me as I work in the construction industry and am regularly part of the competitive bid process. When questioned, I was told by Nick at Rocky Mountain restoration that this was his standard practice, "that he'd worked too hard in the past to secure clients' fair settlements only to have them turn around and buy a new truck." My wife and I felt this called our character into question and did not appreciate his inference. Additionally, this seems like a way for him to unnecessarily mark up any additional services that may be required such as carpet, drywall, and paint. In the end the restoration of 1 room, fans and a dehumidifier for 5 days, costs over $5k, the cost for the rebuild is less than $4k. In the long run I could have bought the same fans, duhumidifier, and moisture sensors and completed the work on my own for the cost of their invoice. I will not be using Rocky Mountain Restoration in the future and suggest that anyone wanting to avoid a headache do so as well." read more
