We had an unusual situation where our water continued to come into our basement for 5 days (until…read morewe got a pump put into the gravel trench that the sewer pipe is laid in.) It was groundwater (thankfully not sewer water) but groundwater means the homeowners insurance came the first day and told us we were on our own. The insurance adjuster did tell us that we needed to get the carpet out in 48 hours to avoid mold. So, we called a couple of companies and ServiceMaster was the first to respond. They arrived on a Friday evening and worked steadily for several hours - we are very thankful for the hard work these guys did the first night - but the experience really went downhill quickly. That first night, I asked for a ballpark estimate before signing the box on the tablet computer... they said they really couldn't say until the office opened on Monday and could give us an estimate, but $500-$3000. On Monday, the Project Manager came, took some photos and measurements, and left. He didn't leave us any information (their website says you get an information package... the local owner has apologized repeatedly about the poor communication we received). We expected an estimate for the job after that visit and when one didn't arrive we followed up the next day via email. We got a response 2 days later that said 'at about $6000' with no details - when we requested details we got no response. When we finally got the bill, it was indecipherable - it didn't have any line item costs. The total listed was $9800, but the email accompanying it said the owner had discounted the bill by $1000 since it was so excessive. If you find yourself in this kind of disaster, I recommend that you take notes about when crews arrive and what they do as it is happening. We insisted on a line item bill - on which we found $840 of charges for work that had not been done. Those were removed once we pointed them out, and after several discussions the owner they increased the discount offered from $1000 to $1725. The owner said their prices were set by a company that is accepted by insurance companies as the standard rates - so he couldn't do more. Those 'standard' charges include renting drying fans from ServiceMaster at a cost of $168/week each (hardware store rental is $88/week) and dehumidifiers at a cost of $707/week each (hardware store rental is $132/week). And a 'per square foot' charge for extracting water from the basement that equates to $250/per hour. OUCH!

We could have put simply down new carpet and covered it up again without disturbing it, but in the end decided we should just be done with it once and for all. After looking into a couple different companies it was clear that McGill were the regional go-to, and when George came out for a walkthrough and estimate I could tell why. Very informative and helpful, and emailed us an estimate right away so we could budget. Later when they did the work we were very satisfied. An air quality check by ATC passed without any hiccups as well. Very satisfied. Would recommend.

We had a fire that required us to vacate our home for eight months while it was being restored…read more Wanting to use a locally-owned business, we contacted Lincoln Restoration Services for their expertise, and we are thankful we did. They promptly came to assess the situation and maintained regular (and welcome!) contact throughout the process. Kudo to Matt, the project manager, and his team of workers on a super job! We had no experience remodeling a home let alone recovering from a fire. Our home had to be taken down to the outside walls and rebuilt from there. So many decisions to make, but Matt steered us through all of it, especially when we made suggestions (which weren't always feasible!). He offered solid advice and recommendations that we gladly accepted. Their workers and sub-contractors were excellent. We very highly recommend this company! Thank you, Matt & Lincoln Restoration Services!!!!

The sub-contractors they utilized for drywall and painting weren't up to par (in fact, the drywall job we did ourselves looks better than what the pros did). There are clear spatula marks on the wall from the mudders, and they didn't fix that even after we called them back. The painters they hired as sub-contractors were also difficult to work with; they didn't prepare properly and had to be called back afterwards. The biggest issue, though, was that they did not give us any contract or signed estimate before the work started (even after we asked several times) and then were talking as if there was lots of money left over as the job went on (insurance provided a specific amount to restore the house). As soon as we started discussing how we wanted to proceed, though, they suddenly were "over budget" and we had to pay more out of pocket, as the insurance money was used up. They didn't clean up well from the job, either. Some of our tools and supplies from previous projects went missing, and they left a few things behind as well. In the future, I think we'll just do the work ourselves. They finished the job quickly, but I'm going to spend the next 10+ years in this house staring at the mistakes they made.
