They have credited my account and closed the invoice. It was a painful experience, but it does all appear to be a mistake. The response from Restoration 1 of Greater Charlotte is that all of the people I had issues with are no longer employed. ...so I removed the names. Should I fully amend the review? I will leave it up for now February 2024 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am nearly 50 years old, and Restoration 1 of Greater Charlotte is - by far - the worst company I have ever used. It has been an absolute freaking nightmare. ***You can read it all but here is the short version: They overbilled my insurance (State Farm) and then (months later) billed me ($1516.45) for the rest. When we called to question the bill (and why State Farm hadn't paid) they always sent us to voicemail and didn't return the calls. After one month, they sent the bill to collection... and they still refused to answer any calls... now they are placing a lien on our property. *** Initially, they were quickly on the scene and had a contract in hand. I should have taken that as a warning. They wanted me to sign a contract prior to doing sufficient research. The representative told me that we were in luck and that they use software that links into State Farm. That way there are no squabbles about the amount of time (and cost) of the water removal. That they would enter it into the system and the process would be seamless. It wasn't seamless. The next morning I talked to our insurance adjuster and he verified that Restoration 1 uses their system and that it was ok to authorize them to do the work. So I did.... big mistake. The next day they came out and did the water remediation work. They did an absolutely awful job. They left dozens of staples sticking up from the subfloor and the wood flooring was broken in a jagged pattern making it an incredibly dangerous trip hazard. Simply put, we could not walk on the floor. After one month, they FINALLY removed all of the staples that were sticking up, but did not do anything to make the wood floor less dangerous. At the same time, we had planned to use them as our general contractor to do the repair and build back. We need all of flooring, cabinets, and countertops replaced. After 2 months they hadn't done ANYTHING - they kept saying that people who needed to review the case were on vacation... and blah blah blah... but nothing happened. The house was 100% unlivable, and there wasn't even the beginning of a plan to get it put back together. So we essentially fired them from the rebuild and hired a different company (ERX .. which has been wonderful). We thought we were done with this terrible experience with Restoration 1. State Farm had paid them for the remediation (around $11,000 which was a staggering sum since all they did was remove some flooring, bust open some cabinets, remove a bit of installation, and put fans/blowers in our kitchen.) The cost was insane.... and I actually felt bad that State Farm had to pay out that amount. I should have felt bad for me. Fast forward 2 more months.... we received an email that there is a balance due of $1516.45 with Restoration 1. How could this be? State Farm has already paid them a King's Ransom... and their systems are linked, so why is there a discrepancy? And how could it possibly cost EVEN MORE than what State Farm paid? Well, we never got the answer to those questions, because Restoration 1 will never call you back. We would call and talk to the person on the phone and she would tell us that we need to talk to (name deleted)... but (Name Deleted) apparently only works 3 hours a week. She is either on vacation, picking up her kids, at a doctor's appointment, or in a meeting. One month later... we get an email stating that the balance is in collection. A reminder, we still have no idea why we owe any money. Then... the stars lined up and ... (Name Deleted) called us!!!! Awesome! Well not so awesome... she only called to tell us that since the balance is in collection she can no longer discuss it with us. I state, rather emphatically, that we have no idea what we are being billed for... why didn't State Farm pay it like they (Restoration 1) said they would? Brittany said that she couldn't help us, but she would talk to the owner, (Named Deleted). I was somewhat happy... surely (Name Deleted) as the owner would review the case, and realize how poorly they handled this whole case. Yeah, that never happened... Ron Jones never called us back. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and tried calling him a couple more times.... but those just went to voicemail. In the meantime...we were notified that the collection agency is moving to have a lien placed on our property. Good times.

He was extremely honest and upfront about all the costs, time frames, and processes. He took the time to fully explain everything and answer all of my questions.

The work was done on time and I have been extremely pleased with it. I've run into Andy multiple times after my project was completed and Andy always stops to say "Hi", he is truly a person who cares about his clients.

Andy and Keith helped me every step of the way, from the water mitigation, to the repair and restoration of my entire kitchen, two bathrooms, and every floor surface of my 2200 sq ft house. This being my first house and first claim to file with insurance, he took the time to walk me through the process step by step and always answered my calls (which were a lot). His crew worked hard and efficiently, and I felt very safe leaving my home in his hands. He was able to get the job done much faster than anticipated, some because of timing, but mostly because he's extremely organized and dedicated to his clients. I had a few other contractors come out to the house before I found Built Restoration. Andy and Keith blew everyone else out of the water with their professionalism, insurance knowledge, attention to detail, and positive attitudes.

He even worked directly with the insurance company to make sure all the necessary repairs were covered. For the cleanup and restoration work, Jake was careful to protect all my belongings and he made sure I could live and work from home with as little interruption as possible. He organized every step of the project and was always responsive to calls and texts. He went above and beyond to get the project across the finish line, and I am incredibly thankful for all the work Jake and his team did on the house.

You do not want to deal with this company. After our house flooded we had a DRP representative…read morecome to our home and talk to us about what needed to be done to finish drying out the house, look for and remediate any mold, repair/replace drywall, molding, etc. We were told they could do everything but the representative said he needed to come back with another person in a couple of days to reexamine the house and be in a position to give us an estimate on the cost of remediation/repairs. This company had been recommended by a contractor who had worked on our house and whom we thoroughly trust. He had worked with this company before and highly recommended them. The DRP representative promised to call in a couple of days to set up a time to come back with someone else from the company. When I did not hear back, I tried to call the representative. He did not return my call. I then texted him and got a reply that they never heard of the contractor who recommended them and were not interested in doing the work because they were too busy with other projects. He could have told me from the beginning they were too busy. I lost valuable time waiting for someone who was never interested in doing the work in the first place. As a result, the mold situation in my house has probably worsened. I would never trust this company and would urge anyone considering hiring them to look elsewhere.

I contracted Servpro to pump out my Dad's basement on 01/08/2020. Although the team they sent was…read morevery nice they clearly didn't understand what they were doing and the work ultimately took 2.5 hours longer that needed. Upon arrival the team estimated that the project would take approximately 1 hour. 2 hours late there had been minimal progress and they assured me it would only take an hour more. After another hour and a half I checked on them again to find that half of the water still remained and that the team had not been monitoring the hose allowing it to flow only 1/3 submerged and thus not pumping at full capacity. At this time I when into the basement with the hose and full submerged it by the sunk-pump. Within an hour the remaining half of the water was drained. Servpro charged me a total of 5 hours for the job despite the fact that I had to instruct their team and perform 1/2 of the work myself. I requested that they only charge 2.5 hours give the lack of quality form the crew and the fact that I had to perform 1/2 the work myself. Servpro said their charges were fair and that they had to empty their water tank over 100 times (as documented via email). This is illogical as it takes approx 5-10 minuets to empty the tank which would mean the spend between 8 - 16 hours to empty the tank and the team was onsite only 5 hours. I'll be filling an additional complaint with their Corporate office as well as the better business bureau. I personally have no problem paying for the 2.5 hours it should have taken for their services, I have a problem paying for their lack of training and for work I did myself.

As such, I can not recommend NCA Carolinas for any project.

Let me begin by stating that I was referred to this company and its owner, Jay, by a good friend…read more They had no idea that the person they knew was such a poor businessperson. After my friend's recommendation, I called Blue Fox Roofing to inquire about an estimate for a complete roof replacement. During our initial conversation, I informed him that the company that was already working on other projects on my property was fully expected to handle the roofing as well. When I called, he assured me that he could do a better job and even offered to include some extras if I chose his company. I mentioned the other company and that my insurance would cover the new roof. I provided him with the insurance company's price for all roofing-related work. He was fine with this and expressed his willingness to complete the job immediately. Since he was a professional roofer, he assured me that the job would be done correctly. I provided him with all the details that the insurance company had given me, and he reiterated that he was the right person for the job. However, during our conversation with Jay, my wife signed a contract with the other company without knowing that I was seeking this alternative bid. Consequently, I found myself under contract with the other company. Jay informed me that I had three days to cancel that contract, and if I did, he could start the job immediately. After having several conversations with my wife, I decided to cancel the first contract. The next morning, I called Jay and left a message stating that the previous contract had been canceled and that we were ready to proceed with his company. I asked him to let me know what steps we needed to take to set the job start date. I did not hear from Jay for over six hours when I called him again and explained that I was ready to move forward with his company. To my surprise, he responded that there was no reason to return my first call because the job did not pay enough for him to be interested in it. He even suggested that if I could convince the insurance company to increase its payment, he would call me back. I was shocked and felt betrayed. Now, without a roofer, I had burned the first bridge and foolishly believed in his lies and deceitfulness. Today, I am without a roof or roofer, but I am determined to find a solution. However, I will never work with companies like Blue Fox Roofing, NC. I wanted to warn others about the potential pitfalls they may encounter when dealing with this company.
