A few years and one forgotten candle later and I did. Everyone on their team that I've encountered has been courteous and very professional, including Joelle, Justin, Dan, Tammy, Maria & Marcella. The extent to which they are cleaning and repairing our home is beyond what we realized was needed or expected, but is greatly appreciated. It's a shame it takes a disaster (even a small one) in order to get the opportunity to business with such a great company.

Paul Davis came to my rescue after my home and belongings were severely damaged by flooding. I…read morecannot say enough positive things about the crews who supported me during such a difficult and stressful time. My "dream team" -- Eric Markwald, James Stossmeister, Anthony Heald, and their crew -- truly deserve recognition bonuses for their exceptional skill, dedication, and workmanship. They worked tirelessly, often around the clock, to help restore my home while also assisting many others affected by the historic 2025 Milwaukee floods. Beyond their technical expertise, what meant the most was their kindness, compassion, and patience. They provided reassurance and support when I was overwhelmed, anxious, and facing the challenges of dealing with insurance adjusters while being displaced from my home and without my belongings. They guided me through every step of the mitigation, reconstruction, and insurance processes, always keeping me informed and confident that things would be made right. In the end, they truly delivered on that promise.

Paul Davis partnered with Milwaukee Public Schools to help out in emergency/disaster situations…read more Paul Davis executed an excellent response when we had the floods at the end of August. Chad Holland and Elaine Kleinhans made sure the communication lines were always open and they handled all the restoration/emergency response business expeditiously. Dealing with them and their staff was always in an upmost professional manner. If you are ever facing disaster relief, rest assured, Paul Davis will be there to help and get your life back to normalcy. I cannot recommend Paul Davis' team more.

A storm came through and caused some wind damage to our roof. It caused a leak that went through…read moreour ceiling in our bathroom. We discovered this on a Sunday afternoon. Josh came out right away to secure a tarp on our roof to prevent further damage. Once our insurance adjuster came out and determined that they would provide us very minimal coverage for the damage, Josh took it to the next level for us. It was a tedious and drawn out process but in the end we were awarded the funds to cover our new roof and our expenses for the damage to our bathroom. Josh was very on the ball and attentive to getting things taken care of for us. He came out and met with us to determine which product we wanted to use for our new roof as well as a tentative start date for the job (obviously weather permitting). When he noticed that an upcoming weekend had some promising weather, he reached out to us to confirm if this would work with our schedule. He arranged for the materials and dumpster to be delivered. On the day of install, his crew showed up and were all very professional. Came at 8am on Saturday morning and were done by noon on Sunday. Excellent site clean up from all of them. The only evidence that they had been there was our new roof and the dumpster full of materials in our driveway. Josh immediately had the dumpster removed from our property as well. Very attentive and accessible during the entire process from start to finish. 5 star rating for this company and Josh from our first encounter until the job was complete.

When I confronted Eva at Damage Control, she said she would research and get back to me. That was in the fall of 2018. She has been given numerous opportunities to contact me, and has not.

We had no clue that our compact washer and dryer were not properly installed and created moisture in that small room that resulted in mold on the ceiling. We got 2 quotes the first one from another company was high and had no details of what they were going to do. The 2nd quote from Emergency was thorough and they walked us through in detail what they needed to do and assured us the job would get done properly. Our contact Brian was awesome and he communicated to us and my realtor every step and made this experience as seamless as possible. They had two different teams manage the removal of the mold so that they would not expose it to the other rooms. These guys are awesome and do such a wonderful and professional job! I would highly recommend them to anyone with any damage to your home.

Buyer beware - EFW is extremely disorganized and has a major lack communication! Our project…read moremanager acted like he had done this a million times over, told us to trust him and that he would take care of everything - So, that's what we did and boy did we learn our lesson. There were days when the workers wouldn't show up, alot of the work is super shotty and it took months to complete, despite a 6 week contract. They didn't patch before painting, so when I asked that they drop off the extra paint from the project so I could fix it, they told me they threw it out, but then someone else's half empty cans of paint ended up in my house. In one room, they even got paint all over the furniture. As far as the bathrooms, the tile work is beyond sloppy! There were times throughout the project that we'd get random calls that we were behind on payment and we NEVER ONCE were invoiced - How can I pay a bill that I never received? The PM would call and when we would respond stating the lack of invoice, he would simply state, "oh yeah I know, billing is behind"....um what? We immediately paid said invoices and life went on. Finally, once it was all complete and after not hearing from him/EFW for months we got slapped with a final bill even though we approved insurance to pay them directly. Turns out that the PM had NEVER submitted anything he was claiming to over to our insurance company so nothing got handled, no claims approvals, no final payouts were made to either party - we trusted them to handle the insurance part as their 'expertise'. The worst part was that we didn't even know this wasn't taken care of until some random lady reached out to us to collect - we never heard from the guy we were working with again... apparently he was just fired without ANY communication from EFW to us. This entire experience was an ABSOLUTE nightmare. It's our fault for "trusting" someone's word, so I take that blame, but the lack of service, customer care is sickening and I hope that someone else can learn from our mistake. This is YOUR home that these people will be in and I don't want anyone else to go through this. Run people. Run.
