Unfortunately, after being ignored for weeks, I've given up hope that they will. They came to our unit to perform mitigation work after water damage caused by an upstairs neighbor. When they finished and left, we discovered that the cover for our ceiling fan junction box and one of our light fixtures were missing. I contacted them within an hour of them leaving, and initially they were responsive. However, they repeatedly sent me photos of an entirely different light fixture in a different room of our home (our kitchen instead of our living room) and insisted they hadn't removed anything. I explained multiple times that they were looking at the wrong room, and I even sent my own photos, but they continued to insist they were correct. Eventually, communication stopped. The supervisor, Aldo, called me once, but I wasn't able to answer immediately. I returned his call and sent a text within an hour, but I never received a response. Despite promising that the light would be replaced, I've been completely ignored ever since. We are now left without a light fixture and have to purchase a replacement ourselves and pay someone to install it. The lack of accountability and follow-through has been extremely disappointing. I understand mistakes happen, but ignoring a customer instead of resolving the issue is unacceptable.

Ronnie, the manager, is wonderful! This company was responsive and cared for my property as if it was their own. They were extremely thorough. They truly go above and beyond. I'm so thankful to this company for making a truly difficult time more bearable. I would recommend them to anyone that asks.

The visit cost me nothing. Very professional, efficient, and friendly. So very much appreciated their assessment and advice, and the truly free estimate ensures I'll refer them to others and call them with any other needs. Thank you!

I am sharing my experience with the construction team for this Servpro franchise to help others…read moremake informed decisions. This review reflects my personal interactions and concerns and is not directed at Servpro Corporate or other franchise locations. After a water-damage incident, this franchise handled both mitigation and the beginning of a rebuild of my only bathroom. Mitigation took about three weeks. Although it initially appeared satisfactory, I have since been informed by my insurance provider and other professionals that moisture may have been left in the crawlspace, which has contributed to buckling in my hardwood floors. The floors are now raised and uneven, and this has caused structural issues in our hallway--including doors that no longer open and close properly following mitigation and the new subfloor installation. For the rebuild, my insurance approved the estimate on October 1st, and the franchise accepted an 80% deposit on October 7th. In writing, I was told that work would begin within one week of payment and that the bathroom would be completed in approximately 4-5 days. I have emails and messages documenting this timeline. Because this is my only bathroom, this commitment was essential. Despite these assurances, the project did not start on schedule, and the delays that followed were significant. Work that appears to require a permit under my city's regulations was performed without one. When I first asked about the permit, I was told it wasn't needed; after confirming with the city that a permit was required, I repeatedly requested that the franchise submit the application. Although they stated several times--verbally and in writing--that they would file it, the city confirmed on every check-in that no permit application had ever been submitted. After I requested permit and insurance information, the team stopped returning to complete the work. This occurred around week 7 of us living in a hotel due to delays and halted work. At this point, I have been without a functioning bathroom for more than 10 weeks and was displaced from our home for a total of 8 weeks. The bathroom remains incomplete, with only a toilet installed. I also have photos and message threads showing that the toilet I ordered through them was replaced with a completely different model than the one we discussed. I also included emails documenting the timeline they provided, which we now know they did not meet. It is almost December, and we still do not have a completed bathroom. I raised these concerns with the project superintendent and then escalated them to his supervisor, who asked for additional time to resolve the situation and "make it right." More than three weeks passed with no action, and the permit issue remained unaddressed. They sent an email saying they would file the permit and copied us on it, but the city confirmed that no application was ever submitted during that time. Daniel Baier has repeatedly been difficult to work with during this frustrating process. He has repeatedly made false promises that he won't deliver. We filed a complaint to his boss George Foster- who pleaded with us to let them "make it right". That was over 3 weeks ago and again, no progress has been made. They still have not filed for a permit in my city after multiple request and email reminders. We have no bathroom in our home after 3 months of working with this Servpro. I have called the city every day to check the status of the permit, which I am told there is no permit pending. Dan continues to tell us that he will do it right away when I remind him. 3 weeks later and multiple emails in between about it, still nothing. Newest update: They eventually agreed to terminate our contract after repeated requests to do so, demands for reimbursement, demands to address the floor damage, and after we filed corporate-level complaints. We did not reach a resolution on our concerns. Our contract ended around week 10 of the project. After 10 weeks, we still do not have a fully functioning bathroom. Had we known they would fail to perform within the timeline they provided, we would have hired another contractor for the rebuild from the beginning. As of November 27th, still no refund on any of our deposit.

After I signed the contract, they sent out two young men with a new plan.   Now since I had paid, they had decided not to power wash and instead just to vacuum and sweep.   After the young completed they informed me that they were about to leave.   I picked up a piece of glass and showed it to them.   He said he'll call the office.   He called the office and then they changed the plan again and decided to power wash.   The young man informed us that he had never actually dealt with a situation like this. Upon completion there was still glass and dirt.   Here I am days later trying to do the job myself.   I now have cuts all over my hands and am spending hours trying to fix this myself. If they couldn't do the job they should have just told me.   They shouldn't have "guaranteed" that they could handle this.    Having failed miserably they should, in the least, give us a refund.     No supervisor was sent.   No one experienced to handle this situation was sent.   No one followed up to ensure the work was done correctly...and it wasn't. WE are disappointed and feel taken advantage of.   The party is Saturday and I'm still trying to fix the situation.

I contacted SERVPRO to clean a rug, I had water damage and when I called I was assured by the woman that they would be able to handle my situation and clean my rug.

About a week later I got a call that the rug had been damaged beyond repair while cleaning.. they offered to drop the rug back off for me to look at. The guy who brought the rug wouldn't carry it into my basement, he asked me to help him! It was so beyond unprofessional when I had made it clear that I was unable to help since I am injured. The guy handed me a check for the cleaning and left. When I contacted SERVPRO to tell them what had happened they tried to say the guy had slipped when he initially took my rug from our property which is a complete lie because my husband watched him carry it out. SECOND RED FLAG. I don't know what kind of business William Boyette and his wife are trying to run but it's clearly a scam. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS FRANCHISE. They have refused to compensate me for my damaged property so I'll be forced to report them to the BBB and seek damages myself. This is the most unprofessional business I have ever dealt with.

Well if you have a fire and want a company that hires people than have poor work ethic this is them. We terminated them because of gross mis -management. Asking to move back in our home and the owners decides to go to Poland. Then when they return to they used the excuse they were @ there lake house. While State Farm left us @ the hotels. Moving forward. They never gave itemized bills just money they could attempt to extract from State Farm. Be weary of what u sign with them. Also look up how many people they have take to civil court. I have videos and pictures from our surveillance caneras of the staff coming around after 10 am. Taking long lunches in the park. Sitting idlinggggg g the master group trucks. Coming back in the house after lunch work for about less then hour and then head back to Barrington because of traffic delays. Keep away from this company. Billing !!! they will attempt to bill your insurance and if the insurance denies them they will go after you. Without even provide a billing of what they actually did. They will damage your belongings more so than any natural damages such as a fire in a home. If you value your home than there is no value to this restoration company.
