I contacted Active Restoration as soon as we had saw the water leak, it had just happened. It came from an upstairs bathroom into an entry way door frame downstairs. They sent out a project manager first thing in the morning. He assessed it then they got started as soon as possible. The project manager explained what needed to be done and where the machines would need to be placed. The team came out and set up the equipment to start the drying process and had closed off the areas with plastic covering to contain it all. They came everyday to check progress. Once they assessed every area to make sure it was dry they were able to send out their own reconstruction team. They did a fantastic job of patching the areas up and matched our paint exactly. You can't tell anything had happened. Each team member that came out were very friendly and clean and answered my questions or was able to find out and respond back to me promptly. I was very pleased with the service and staff and transparent invoice and ease of payment. We'd definitely use them again in a heartbeat, hopefully won't need to, or would recommend them to everyone. read more

What a blessing to work with this exceptional team. Kevin, the owner, was very quick to respond to my call and listen to my situation. He walked me through the remediation process and then connected me to one of his team leads named Todd. Todd gets an A+ for communication. He will keep you posted on the status of the process and will answer literally any question I had. Javier, one of the project leads always went above and beyond to be sure the containment was tightly sealed and to keep the project moving. The team also included: Armondo, Rob, Ricardo and Charles. These guys are so professional and treat your home like it was theirs. They show up on time, are good at what they do, and clean up well. I will never work with ANY other restoration team and will ONLY recommend them.

My house got water damage and mold in Oct 2023. I reached to Kevin who is owner and his team did a wonderful job on mold removal and water damage clean up within 24 hours.

They were able to offer me the option to pay out of my pocket with reasonable price and excellent service. After that, Kevin took care the whole process from file to follow up a claim.

I had a pipe burst in my kitchen that caused quite a bit of water damage. I was extremely overwhelmed and distressed about the entire ordeal once I realize the magnitude of the water damage. After calling Restoration 1 and speaking to MARCOS, he sent his team out to begin the mitigation process. JORDAN and MARK came out and if I could give this team 100 stars - I would. EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL + EXTREMELY CLEAN + CONSIDERATE of my home. I've had prior slab leaks and I've worked with other companies and realize that this company is definitely at the top of the food chain in terms of professionalism. They tented up my kitchen to protect my family and pets from the heat, debris and chemicals used to mitigate the damage. They were always on time and courteously called 30 minutes prior to arriving. They made sure they had their shoes covered upon entering my home or covered the floor. And to my disbelief, professionally packed up and removed all my personal belongings in my kitchen and dining room, prior to the demolition. They went above and beyond my expectations. Marcos was unbelievably helpful with dealing with the insurance company. I highly recommend this company, you will not be disappointed! read more

We had a washing machine issue the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. I called Todd at Restoration 1 and he immediately put me at ease, walked me through the process, and arranged to have the team on site later that same day. Javier and Armondo were incredible! They explained to me exactly what they were going to do and were incredibly professional and careful to make sure the water damage was treated. I felt like they genuinely cared about making sure our house was taken care of. They came each day to check on progress and I always felt like I knew what was happening. They handled our interactions with the insurance company and the independent adjuster, which was a huge relief. I would 100% recommend them! While I hope no one ever has water damage, if you do, go with these guys! read more

After experiencing a severe flood in our laundry room which spilled into the adjacent bathroom,Restoration 1 came to the rescue. They sent us their top brass, Javi and Armondo who worked super hard and super fast to clean up the mess the laundry machine left for us to tend to. They even threw down with our insurance company in order to get approval for HEPA filtration machines since my wife is pregnant and the last thing I wanted was her to be inhaling any fumes, dust or anything else that comes along with construction work and/or this particular mediation work. Javi and Armondo were very thorough and explained every step of the way. They got everything dry and ready for the rebuild as soon as humanly possible. I am absolutely blown away by their proffesionalism and attention to detail. If you have any kind of problems, rest assured they have you covered. read more

I cannot recommend this company enough!!! They were truly a life saver for me. Kevin and his team were the BEST part of a tough house situation for me.

They were super responsive and communicative every day. This was my first time dealing with such house damage and they graciously explained every single thing every step of the way and made sure I was never in the dark.

My downstairs bathroom drywall sustained some water damage from the leaky toilet. Todd came by right after the phone call and assessed the damage. He is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. The demo and dry out were done the following day with Todd's team: Javier and Armando. Both young men were equally courteous, professional, and knowledgeable, and they assured me I was "in good hands" - which I definitely was. Todd was communicative and kept in contact with me throughout the entire process which I appreciated very much.

I can't say enough for Kevin and his team. He and Marcos provided us with outstanding service throughout this project. A water heater leak left two bathrooms and a utility closet in need of significant drying. We worked with them for nearly a two week period. They were consistently professional, punctual, and very considerate of the needs of our family. When we experienced delays due issues outside their control, Kevin contacted other vendors on our behalf and helped expedite the entire process for us, which is above and beyond in my book. Hopefully, we don't have another need for their services soon, but if so, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. These guys were terrific! read more

Marcos and his team did a great job. I had a lake under my house and let's just say the smell was less than pleasant. They were quick and most importantly really really clean. These guys have garbage bags, for the garbage bags, for the garbage bags... lol. They spent as much time making sure my entry walkway was as clean as when they showed up which I really appreciated. I would def recommend and use again (which I really hope I never have to do) -Patrick read more

Wearing masks, gloves, proper gear and always informing us of their arrival to our house. Everything was completed ON TIME and they were fair throughout the entire process. Their contacts of then hiring a general contractor to patch up the wall were on point too! The process was very smooth and definitely recommend this company. Thanks Restoration 1! read more

I'm so glad that I was referred to Restoration 1 for my water leak problem. It was a stressful situation and I was so overwhelmed by all the process and repair I have to do, but Marcos and Kevin are always there to help.
