On January 3rd, my neighbour's unit flooded, and that spread to mine. The damage to my possessions was minimal, but then the fun began. Total Restoration left the industrial dehumidifyers in my place for over a month; my understanding is that is not the industry standard but rather a way to get extra money out of the insurers. They took 2/3 of my flooring out, in January, so I walked on very cold concrete in most of my spaces all winter. At about 12 weeks in, they finally said they would get a storage unit and move my boxed up books and other items sitting on the floor out of the way so I could be more comfortable. That was three weeks ago, and the book boxes are still in a pyramid in my living room. It's been 16 weeks since the flood and my $6000 built-ins still haven't been replaced, I still have no baseboards or floors, and they haven't even done the mold abatement yet. Total Restoration also piled so much stuff into my bedroom closet to get it out of the way, that my closet collapsed, and now I need a new closet that will take 4-8 weeks and over $1000 before installation. They never initiate communication, and weeks can go by before they respond to my emails and phone messages. For the first two months I was patient, and I would make calm inquiries by phone and email. Now I'm just angry. Nothing has been done, it is the end of April, and because of supply chain issues, even if they ordered floors tomorrow, my guests in July are still going to be walking on concrete. read more
