I wanted to leave a quick shoutout for Sean at AAA Water Restoration. I contacted him for an…read moreestimate and he was seriously great to deal with. Even though I didn't end up needing to move forward with the work, I was really impressed by how professional and timely he was. He actually showed up right on time which is rare these days. He was incredibly thorough and checked everything out from top to bottom to make sure he didn't miss a thing. You can tell he's a really honest guy because he gave me the straight story instead of trying to sell me on stuff I didn't need. If I ever have an actual emergency down the road Sean is definitely the first person I'm calling.

If your insurance company is paying for all your water damage then the following may not be…read moreimportant to you but if you are trying to get a third party insurance to pay for it or you are paying out of pocket then you might want to read on and find a more ethical company to work with given, as you will find out, the large amount of money at stake. We called out AAA when water leaked into our condo from an upstairs neighbor. As is typical in such an emergency condition we ended up with what the legal profession calls a contract of adhesion meaning basically: you agree to pay them whatever number they come up with for their service and you won't know how much until you see the bill. We were at the beginning of a 3 month long ordeal to get the third party's insurer to admit liability and settle with us. We could hold off on remediation and reconstruction but had no choice but to act decisively to stop the current water damage (basically dry it out) or risk the mold getting worse and spreading. We figured that logically this part, abatement, should be the least of the expenses, especially given that damage was primarily limited to one wall and part of a ceiling of a small (less than 50 sqft) bathroom and an adjacent hallway closet. Basically AAA's abatement process consisted of assessing where moisture was present, cutting a small hole in drywall near moisture to allow air circulation behind the walls and ceiling then setting up some scrubbers and a dehumidifier to dry them out, along with installing some plastic curtains to prevent any mold from spreading to other rooms which they did. Not exactly brain surgery. While the area was drying, we discussed next steps with AAA in anticipation of the insurance company settling. This is the first red flag we encountered. The condo was built in the 1970's and it turned out there was asbestos in the ceilings and drywall joint compound. However, it turns out the AAA is not licensed to remove asbestos and wanted to bring in another company to remove it for some huge additional amount on top of what we owed AAA. In fact we never got an honest quote up front as to what the remediation would cost. We were intially given one number that believed was the total ($17,710) but turned out not to include the asbestos part then another number presumably including the asbestos part but they would never commit to putting in writing that they would remove all the asbestos for a given price until we were far beyond the point of wanting to continue to deal with them. At the month mark, the emergency was over and we were no longer interested in a contract of adhesion and so we decided to stop work with them at the abatement stage and hired another company, ARG Restoration who, in addition to being qualified to remove asbestos, were completely up front, transparent and reasonable in their cost and did a great job. As for AAA, It turned out that for simply doing the abatement steps listed above, on a 50 sqft area, the charge was $15,881, over three times what the mitigation work by ARG ended up costing us. Fortunately, the bill was itemized so I was able to examine how the cost had ballooned so much given how little labor was involved. It turned out that the majority of it came from charging us for basically "renting" the two scrubbers and the dehumidifer for over a month. (Yes, during the entire time we were waiting to hear from the insurance company to get the money for next steps until we finally decided to cut them loose, AAA had kept the equipment at our condo, a period of 32 days). It turned out that AAA charged $275 per day for equipment that, for the same period of time, can be rented from home depot for a small fraction of what they charge but we had a contract of adhesion so that's the rate we were stuck paying their rate. The outrageous part, however, is that the equipment had actually been turned off and moved into the foyer by the occupants after 15 days yet we were forced to pay $275 a day for 16 days when the equipment was not even plugged in! I did not have to take the occupants word for it, SoCalEdison provides a nice graph that shows daily electricity usage and clearly showed the 15 days when electricity usage was significantly higher than average starting with the day they set up the equipment and stopping at day 16. It is also necessary to point out that AAA made regular visits to check the moisture and so they had to know the equipment was sitting there unused and yet blithely continued charging us for it instead of taking it away or at a minimum informing us we would be charged for it while it was on our premises. In fact, their tech finally made me aware the equipment was unused some 8 days after it had been turned off (based on SCE graph) at which time I immediately responded and told them to remove the equipment. Despite this, it sat their for another 5 days for which we were charged an additional $1375 before they were removed

During a stressful and panicked remediation emergency, I used Yelp to request bids. Brian was quick to respond, exceptionally kind, and gracious with his time. Although he couldn't get a team to my location that same day, he offered to jump on a video call to assess the damage remotely. In a crisis, having an expert willing to guide you--even if they aren't the ones on-site--is invaluable. If this is how Brian treats people before he's even hired, I can only imagine the quality of work he provides on the job. Highly recommended for his professionalism and empathy.

Cameron, the owner, is incredibly intelligent and clearly knows the industry inside and out--his leadership gave me absolute confidence in the entire process. John was an absolute joy to work with. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. What I appreciated most was the team's communication--they kept me informed every step of the way, so I always knew exactly what was happening with the project. Not only did they deliver high-quality work, but they also executed everything quickly and efficiently without cutting corners. I would absolutely recommend Absolute Maintenance & Consulting to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and professional team!

We had a mold issue in our primary bedroom. Ricky gave a thorough quote and helped to feel…read moreconfident that the remediation scope would fully address the issue. His team set up a solid containment, performed the work to scope, and passed clearance testing with a third party company. They also offered to leave their containment up (including some temp poles) for the duration of my build-back project. The team was careful of my house during the demo which involved carrying large, heavy pieces of shower glass down some stairs and through some turns. The only downside I found during the process was the need to pay for the site visit for the quote. This payment is credited to the bill and it wound up being a non-issue due to selecting BH environmental for the job, but none of the other companies I had out requested payment for the quoting visit.

UPDATE: I appreciate your pride and accountability in your business. We just had very little…read moreconfidence that your bid - the only one for which we paid - was reliable. None of this process was communicated clearly to us. I appreciate the owner's effort to make it right with a refund of the fee. I wouldn't even recommend requesting an estimate from these people. I wish I hadn't. The star is because someone technically came out. They were the only ones who charged a fee to come out, and their inspector spent a total of maybe 50 seconds in the bathroom that had water damage. The person who came out told us would have an estimate within a day, and no estimate. Unlike the other companies that came out, he made no inquiry about the age of the house or mention of required asbestos testing. Overall, his visit did not inspire confidence that any estimate we did get (if we got one) would be valid or accurate (not require change orders). Maybe the reason why some reviewers say they're cheaper is that they cut corners? (We wouldn't know as we never got our estimate.) We were really dissatisfied even with our (extremely brief) visual inspection experience. Communication with respect to the process was not good (as we don't know what's going on). Clearly my short list selection process failed me here. ETA: Apparently they were waiting on payment for the estimate (no one made clear what this process was), which we finally got, and indeed did not include asbestos testing.

The only thing was that their quote didn't include drywall repair. I was told it's another dept and I would need to get a quote or I can find my own handyman. Ok how much can it be? Well after the water damage was resolved, I started getting quotes for drywall repair. I found out it was very expensive. In fact, well past the quote from the other places that included drywall repair. If I were to do it again, I would get quotes for the complete work so I can compare apples to apples.

The woman who answered the phone tried to tell me we didn't need it even though we had already paid. Once again we'd already paid $1000 essentially for a man with a washcloth to stop by... Long story short, they finally came back and checked the humidity levels and found tons of black mold and dirty water. 2 months and $18k later we've had the walls and floors replaced.

I talked with Milan who told me that I should check with a mold company to make sure there's mold first before doing any construction work. The mold company came out and confirmed, there's definitely excess moisture. They gave me a quote to do mold remediation and I was thinking of using them instead but I was told that they wouldn't do the reconstruction/repair after the mold remediation. So I came back to Zimax. They provided me with a very similar quote to the other company for mold remediation. I liked that Zimax would be able to do both the mold remediation and the repair afterwards. I accepted Zimax's quote and Milan was able to schedule me in for mold remediation quickly. They came on a Tuesday. They removed the drywalls and found that there were multiple leaks from the windows. They set up everything in one day. They set up a paper walkway so that they wouldn't track any dirt into the house. Everything was done very professionally. Friday, they came back and removed their equipment. I was told that the next step is to do water testing to determine all the spots where there were leaks. They did some testing but then told me that more testing was needed. They were gonna come on Monday, but they were able to squeeze me in on Saturday instead. They found all the multiple leaks coming from two windows. I wanted them to start immediately, but there was a bit of delay with their scheduling. I guess with how good these guys are, they must be swamped. But Milan did his best to schedule me in asap. Friday, they came and patched the leaks. Then on Saturday, they came to water test to make sure there were no more leaks. Once they confirmed no leaks, they started the repair work that same day. Everything was pretty much completed on Saturday. Last step was painting. They painted on Monday and we were told that the paint just needed about two hours to dry and it would be good. Overall, a very pleasant and professional experience. This is the kind of company I want to work with for anything I might need. They provided accurate information and was courteous.
