Spend a few minutes reading this long review and save yourself months of HORROR!…read more We hired Anthony Restoration after a water leak in March 2025. This was the first time we had a water leak so did not know the process and trusted them. They assured us that they would work with the insurance company and that we would not have to get involved with the process. Anthony billed the insurance company for two separate set of invoices, the first of which was paid in full. The issue arose with the second invoice where the insurance company declined part of the payment stating that the services rendered by Anthony were excessive and not warranted for the type of damage which we had. This is where the horror started: On the second invoice, our insurance company issued a payment in the amount of $6950 (based on the services they thought were warranted by the damage) on 6/13/2025. Anthony held onto that payment for TWO MONTHS, did not cash the check and then after 2 months sent us a demand letter for the entire amount IGNORING the payment which they had received from the insurance company. They also charged us for 3 months of interest charges and then added a collection charge of $600 in addition to the interest charges. This in-spite of me calling them a few times to see where things were with the resolution of the claim to which I was CATEGORICALLY told that NO action was needed on my end. Folks from their receivables department kept misleading us by telling us the source of the issue was related to the deductible which we had already paid. I had to arrange for conference calls and numerous back and forth emails between them and the insurance company to get them to finally accept that the source of the issue was not one related to deductible but instead had to do with them charging for services which the insurance company did not find as being commensurate with the type of damage we had. On one call, Anthony even had the gall to tell us that we should seek counsel and go after the insurance company even though the fault was all along with them. This company is OUT TO LOOT YOU! Those of us who go through a water incidents for the most part don't know the process and hope that the company that they hire would look out in their interest. NOT THESE GUYS!!! They lack basic communication and their internal processes seem broken with one part of the organization not in sync with another part of the organization. All along I was trrying to get this issue resolved while spending countless hours of my personal time. I even asked that the owner of the company call me. I am STILL awaiting that call! While I am no fan of these big insurance companies, having spent countless hours going through this back and forth between Anthony restoration and the insurance company, I can safely say that our insurance company was fair in their determination of what should have been a fair price for the job and in-spite of that Anthony kept MISLEADING us. Water damage can be very mentally straining, NO ONE DESERVES the way Anthony tried to mislead us! I will be pursuing this case with the State of Virginia and another body which can bring us justice!

Update: Actually you never said not to sleep on the mattress for 24-hours, what you said wasthe…read morenext day it would be good to go. So I slept on my couch that night and didn't actually put back my sheets until the following night. So yeah I didn't "sleep" on the mattress until well after 24-hours just because it was soaking wet when y'all left the first time. And I would also say that when I contacted you that I informed you about possible urine smells and stains either on my carpet or my mattress from my dog. It wasn't until you all returned that you then decided to use the UV light which you should have done the first time y'all came out to pin point the areas. So besides the stairs and the mattress you had to redo my room still smells and stains still remain on my carpet. And you also commented that my carpet is old as if I asked and didn't know that myself. So yeah you came back and "cleaned" the mattress but besides that nothing else was done correctly.

We found some unexpected water damage during a remodel. Andrey was quick to respond and asked me to…read moresend some photos of the damage. He assessed the situation, sent me an estimate, and answered all of my questions over the phone. There was no fear mongering or price gauging. Andrey was honest and pragmatic. His assessment was inline with what I originally thought and the estimate was better than if I had rented the equipment and tried to do this on my own (since the damage was small and localized it didn't make sense to go through insurance). A member of his crew set up the equipment and Andrey came out on the last day. He answered all of my questions and even took a look at other places around my house that I had concerns about. It can be hard to find ethical and good natured companies - this is one of them! Our remediation took 3 days and dried out all the water without having to do any additional demolition. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome and would definitely reach out to Andrey again.

His team tore out the wet drywall and trim, set up fans and dehumidifier in the affected areas, and returned after several days to check the progress.

Andrey is very responsive and worked directly with my insurance company, which made my life much easier during a very stressful time. We would use his company again.

He recommended three testing companies. We got the testing done and Wes reviewed the report and indicated that the mold levels didn't merit remediation.

I actually had him do a site visit (very reasonable trip cost), just to be sure, and it confirmed our decision. Net it out, integrity and ethics. Would be my first call for any job in his category.

I can't overemphasize how much I wish I'd started with him in both cases (I didn't know better the 1st time, & he wasn't available when I started a massive renovation following a flood later). Having gone through a nightmare scenario with a contractor who lied and did subpar work, I'm uber aware of the difference. Khaliq is professional, knowledgeable and straightforward. He's come up w/ a number of clever workarounds that saved me from starting over w/ some of the work and is transparent about what to expect at each phase. He's also working faster solo than a crew of workers for the company that botched my reno. Recommend!

As a referral from my insurance company, they did the original estimate, inspection for mold, sprayed as a precaution, and completed the work with the repairs/reconstruction. Because I was waiting for all the insurance pieces to line up, the holes were in my ceiling much longer than I expected. But PDR was patient and Amber Yost checked on me every once in a while. Once everything was in place, the work was completed in one day - yay! The crew was efficient and quick, and there was no signs they had been there (i.e. paint splatter, etc.) They covered my home in plastic, made the repairs, and painted my entire ceiling to match. You couldn't even tell that I had previous damage. Looked brand new. I am very thankful for the repairs crew that came in - Gilbert, two workers and Keith. Thank you for the good work.

In the meantime, calls showed up on my caller ID from a Joshua Curtis. I called him back thinking I was returning a call from an acquaintance. He said he was from Paul Davis. He called a number of times thereafter, but left no messages, ever. Then I got an email, to quote: "Hello Allen, Thomas We value our relationship and service to our customers and we want to improve every day. We ask that you take just a few minutes to give us your sincere opinion about your experience with us. Sorry to hear that you didn't choose to proceed with us to perform your project! Based on your initial experience with us, how likely are you to recommend Paul Davis Restoration to a friend or colleague?" I then called Paul Davis and said I wasn't aware that I had not chosen to proceed with them. Ultimately, we set up an appointment for Friday August 8 at 9:00 AM. They showed up at 8:00 AM. I am still asleep as I have medical problems. They left phone messages saying they were there. When I returned the call shortly before 9:00 AM, I reached a voice mail. Left a message call was returned. They denied appointment was set for 9:00, saying they said between 8:00 and 9:00. I voiced my displeasure with the entire process of dealing with Paul Davis, whereupon I was told they would NOT work with me, as we were not a "good fit". The fault is entirely theirs and I told them I would give them a lousy review, Here it is. I would not recommend them and in fact would discourage anyone from using them for restoration services.
