We had a major water emergency in our home that needed a swift response to address. The team at DKS came out the same day and began the cleanup and drying process. Tito and Erik were knowledgeable, professional and willing to answer all our questions. For prompt service and peace of mind, we recommend Disaster Kleanup Specialists. read more

Tito and Tony did a great job! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tito was communicative, pleasant, and knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What a great team!

My laundry room flooded due to all the storms and wind with dirt and sand. My drain had clogged with leaves and mud. I called DKS at 9:40pm they arrived at 10:40 and finished vacuuming up the water, clearing the debris and taking it all with them and cleaning my laundry room - all under an hour. The dream team was fast, friendly and efficient. They are my heroes Adan, Victor & Francisco got it done and quick. The water if left there could have started to leak into other rooms and do more damage. When they locating and cleared the drain they showed me what happened so in the future I know where it is to keep it clear for upcoming storms. Call them. read more

Beware of this company. I am now dealing with a lawsuit with them. They quoted thousands to the insurance company. Their goal is to quote high and then do as little work as possible. They will paint for you but use the lowest quality paint and won't even cover the floors. They will build cabinets but the installation will be misaligned. They will do flooring but floors will be sinking in one direction. And they will start asking you to Pay without finishing work or hold you hostage. No no no. read more

Ivan was very professional and thorough with the job today. He came to fix a door. When he was done, he made sure everything looked good and worked well. He asked if there was anything else he could do. He took care of a couple other small items and took pictures and notes of everything he did and items needing more attention. Great attitude, good work ethic and very professional. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Be very cautious before signing anything with this company. In our experience, they do not prioritize proper customer service or accountability.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We hired them to clean our household items after a small fire incident that left everything smelling like smoke. Unfortunately, many items were returned in worse condition than when they left. Most concerning was the damage to our classic Victorian-style couches, which we've had for many years. The fabric was completely ruined during their cleaning and reassembly process. Rather than taking responsibility for the poor-quality work, the company refused to acknowledge their mistakes. Instead of offering a reasonable solution or compensation for the damage clearly caused by their staff, they hid behind the contract and dismissed our concerns. We were not asking for anything unreasonable only for them to cover the damages they caused. Their unwillingness to take accountability and their lack of care for our belongings was extremely disappointing. I strongly discourage anyone from hiring this company. Based on our experience, they do not care about you or your property, and you may end up with more damage than you started with. read more

Our business gives DKI a two thumbs up! We had a fire extinguisher go off in our break room and Team F - Fernando and Francisco came and did an amazing job. They were polite, professional and a credit to their company. Hopefully we won't need their services again but we know who to call if we did. Thank you! read more

Incredible Work on a Tough Job We had a major project on a 1955 home with toxic asbestos adhesive under heavy marble flooring throughout the house. Pedro, the lead worker, went above and beyond--removing all the flooring, discovering hidden toxic spots, and making sure everything was safely removed and sealed. He even took care of the old cabinets and fully sealed the house during the process. Pedro was friendly, hardworking, and clearly cared about doing the job right. Post-project testing showed the home was completely clear of asbestos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While management was a bit slow to coordinate, the crew--especially Pedro--was top-notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

Rod from DKI knows what he is doing is very professional and a pleasure to work with.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]RUN, don't walk away, from DKI. They spend more time communicating and exaggerating through their Yelp replies than during their actual service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm glad some Yelpers on here received 5-star service, as I wish my family and I did; however, we unfortunately did not.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sometime during the bad storms a year or so ago, we called them to help us with a mold incident and they abruptly vanished from the worksite without so much as a word on why. For the price, we expected dedicated and high-quality service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They don't answer phone calls, voicemails, or other messages (even a visit to their office in person won't get an answer).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good luck! read more

We needed mold remediation in our Living Room. DKI had us execute two contracts--remediation and reconstruction. Each one demanded a down payment of $1,000. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Early on, I scheduled a joint meeting with the supervisors of both contracts. Both Zachary and Cody agreed to the date and time, but when I arrived at their office, both were mysteriously out on a job. No apologies or explanations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Several times during the weeks-long process, with no notification or warning, nobody would show up to work on either contract[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Locating a decision-maker with a straight answer was a constant problem.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In general, the workers were efficient and motivated, but the supervision was chaotic and costs were exorbitant and never clearly explained or justified. I would never use DK's services again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]From speaking with Karen to schedule someone to check under my house after finally getting rid of rats, to working with Michael, what an amazing company.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and above all, honest. I would highly recommend them. read more

Not sure why this company only has 3 star reviews, but I can only give my experience with them. Here it goes.. I was referred to Disaster Kleenup from my insurance company Farmers. We had a water leak in our home and it damaged my floors and drywall. Rodney was the first to arrived and sucked up as much water as he could before the demolition. Rodney was professional, communicative and knowledgeable. Rodney, Alex and Jeremy came the next day to remove all the water damage cabinets, floors and drywall. They did an awesome job scraping off the glue from the floors. The flooring company was impressed and were thankful that a lot of the glue was removed. All three of these gentlemen were hardworking and professional. If you have these guys working in your home, take care of them. We bought them lunch while they were here to show that we appeciated them. I would highly recommend Rodney and his team. Thank you DKS! read more

Edit to remove back and forth commentary: Unprofessional management, high prices, and left damage unauthorized in unaffected areas. Better, more professional options available in the bay. read more

Update. Megan's comments overlook a couple things 1. that Initial sampling of the debris showed that asbestos content itself was below the thresholds for concern. Still they insisted that there was risk. 2. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It took almost 3 months despite my protests and questions to convince them to prove it by insisting they hire a third party[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. When that was done they pulled out faster than ants after a picnic. 3. Yes, the insurance company is slow but only because the estimates were going through third party peer reviews of their very high costs. 4 I saved a ton of money using local carpet company and drywall contractor to do repairs for a fraction of their estimates. read more

Disaster Kleenup Specialists - This is my sons bedroom being held hostage - Damage Restoration Near Me - Sand City, California

5 months after their original estimate, walk thru, still have done NOTHING! I fired them and now using a private contractor, never got back to me with my tile samples. Wish insurance companies let you make your own choice in the beginning! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We are working closely with DKI as a result of a major water leak and everyone we've dealt with, Cody, Erik, Brannon, Richard, Francisco, Chewy, Mike, Karen ... and others have all been responsive, competent and a pleasure to work with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] DKI was here the day the leak and subsequent damage was discovered, have kept us informed and have worked hand-in-hand with our insurance company representative. We're very appreciative! More work ahead and have full confidence our restoration project will be completed without any glitches and to our full satisfaction! read more

We had a kitchen flood, [[HIGHLIGHT]]Disaster Kleenup was very responsive and quick to get to work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Larry was on site the same day and very professional. Works with USAA. read more

Thank you to Brandon, Armando, Jeremy, Eric & your entire crew for getting together a team so quickly to assist us with a major leak we had! What an amazing group of professionals that know exactly how to handle a difficult situation. Kudos to your team! Thanks for the the great lines of communication, care, responsiveness! read more

Don't hire this company. Do some research and find your self a dependable company that will call you back and explain to you the project process. Disaster kleenup is the type of company that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. No one knows anything or ever calls you back. Skip them next time you need a job completed. You'll thank me later. read more

Hernan takes this entire review. The day of the job they sent him to handle the cleaning and disinfecting and he was just amazing. He arrived around 10am and stayed till 2pm. He was very friendly, outgoing, and customer centric which means he has incredible customer service skills. He took care of the job and answered any and every question. Incredible, honest and extremely thorough. Thank you Hernan for going above and beyond. You are amazing. Happy customer. read more

Great service. Very thorough and very helpful. They came out quickly, assessed the problem and knew exactly how to proceed. I highly recommend them. Thanks DKS! read more

Charged insurance thousands of dollars for kitchen leak basically came in dried it out ripped out half the cabinets, countertops and floor. Left plastic up closing off kitchen and even had a portable toilet delivered that was never used and we had to call to get it picked up. And never came back to finish the job! Don't use them... read more

Rodney was very professional and very efficient in helping me after my ice maker created a swamp on my first floor. He was very attentive doing the job as quickly and seamlessly as possible to deal with my asma issues. He was very pleasant and cheerful which definitely made the situation more bearable. Thank you so much, Rodney!! read more

Hard pass. Called these folks and got passed to "Amanda" who turns out to be the COO according to their website. She hung up on me because I said "ok" a little too loudly when she couldn't hear me the first time due to bad cell reception in a windstorm. She turned on a dime and shreiked "we'll call you back" and hung up. I called back and tried to confirm what that meant and was put on hold, she never picked up. Then I called another person in the water mitigation department, got passed back to Amanda who had to speak to me. She denied hanging up on me and then refused to take my (substantial multi tens of thousands of dollars) job and informed me I needed to call another company. Because I said "OK" too loudly for her tastes. I asked to speak to anyone else, and got just "NO." Asked to speak to the owner Theresa Ream and got just "NO" and then hung up on again. WOW! Update: their "comment" is silly. Wish they recorded the call. The other reviews establish the only thing these folks specialize in is terrible customer service, shoddy work and aggressive collections. Bullet dodged! read more

Great crew to work with. They hired some sub-standard floor guys at first, but Cody and the team made it right. Very involved throughout. Only complaint is that my old hot water heater was never hauled off. definitely recommend. Ronnie-hollister read more

Larry and everyone involved were timely, knowledgable and courteous and they kept the area nicely contained while the project was being handled. I would definately call them again for an emergency disaster clean up. read more

There are 2 items invalid in your response. However, I am not about to fight over a review. And it's interesting how you're making me out to seem that I may be stretching the truth but you aren't willing to address the fact that your customer service is absolutely terrible. There's honestly just no excuse for that fact alone. No customer should feel as stressed in trying to communicate with your company as we have been. End of story. read more

As a USAA member, I was directed to contact DKS to repair my badly stained ceiling and roof shingles.. Joseph PHILIPS provided me an estimate that was immediately approved by my insurance. Joseph the Sr Manager and team provided excellent service in a timely manner. In addition my wind blown fence was rebuilt by the same team. much appreciated the professionalism and expertise from all. Thank You read more

IF I could give 0 stars I would. I agree with others who wrote about AWFUL service and attitudes by all in this company. The WORST experience i have ever ad with any company! They misrepresented, not honest and just lack of integrity. And no replies to numerous contacts I made to them after hiring them. what an awful way to treat customers! Do not use these people. Stay away from! read more

Cody Glover was awesome. He responded promptly to my emergency. An on-call worker came on a Sunday night to deal with the leak and containment of the problem. He jumped on asbestos testing. He handled the abatement professionally. His interface with my insurance company was excellent and his estimate was thorough, awarding me all of the money I needed to adequately repair the water damage left by my tenants. read more

We had some water intrusion from the March "bomb cyclone" rain and winds. Our insurance company recommended DKI for the repairs. Everyone was professional and extremely helpful. The repairs were done in a timely and expert manner. We couldn't be more satisfied. and we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone needing repairs. read more

We are so thankful for the work that Brannon Johnston! After our apartment complex plumbing backed up and spewed raw sewage into our apartment, Disaster Kleenup Specialist came out to get the work done. Brannon showed up and he had just the right calming demeanor to put us at ease after such a mess. Brannon answered our questions and made us feel completely secure in the job that he was doing. It was clear quickly that he knew what he was doing expertly. We needed to evacuate the premises while clean-up took place and we trusted that we would come back to a safe living environment. Our rugs were taken and expertly cleaned and Brannon even returned the rugs to us on his day off! That is the kind of customer service that goes way above and beyond expectation. Thank you! read more

*** STAY AWAY From this unethical, immoral and predator company. *** I had a home fire and was under tremendous stress. What I got was a nightmare. Company ripped me off marking up sub contractors work by 300%. Contract terms signed by myself the customer and DKS was to be 20%. A sub working for them confirmed from other jobs of shady bids they put into the insurance companies and clear evidence they were doing insurance fraud. DKS will be like flys on crap if you owe them any money for work but will never return your call if you have issues or found a disaster in their work, need permit information, or have questions about incorrect billing that favors them but not you. Everything in my house done by DKS was a total disaster and not to code. Building inspector called out much of their work done not to code. I had to pay other contractors to do it right since DKS never returned my call!!!! Majority of positive online reviews are done by their employees, so beware. Very suspicious. These guys can't even set a kitchen wall plum. Was 1.5" out of plum! How hard is it to grab a level to verify plum!!!??? For the ridiculous price they gouged me with putting up a simple 4'x8' wall it should have been at the least straight, square and plum. Carpentry 101. Feel free to contact me if you need any more information, pics of their mess they did to my home and my story how they created severe mental, emotional, and physical damage to myself as well material and structural damage to my home at a the most vulnerable time of my life. Unreal a company and people would take advantage of a customer in such a desperate time. read more

We had substantial damage to our house from the rain and wind storms during the beginning of 2023. DKI handled part of the work with our Insurance Company and part direct with us. Once they got started they knocked it all out in a reasonable amount of time and the quality of the work was very good. I would call them again in the future. Dave. read more

We had a pipe break under our house causing damage to the subfloor, insulation and mold. The plumber came out immediately and stopped the link and suggested that we call disaster kleenup specialists immediately. Their response time was amazing. They came out, set up dryers, cleaned out damaged insulation and worked with our insurance company to ensure that as much of the disaster as possible was covered. Once the drying was done we were sent to another department in the company that facilitated the mold cleaning, and once that was done, another department took over and got the insulation replaced. It should be noted that the timing was a little frustrating for all of us as the holidays were coming, crews were out sick, and it had started to rain! Throughout the entire process everyone from the company was patient and very professional! When our job was done I had to go by and sign the checks from our insurance company as they were made out to both myself and DKS. While I was at the office I got to chatting with the staff and learned a lot about what the scope of their work is. I have to say that when a pipe breaks under your house, it is in most people's minds a major event. After hearing everything this company does we are even more impressed with the personal attention, patience and professional approach our job got! There is not enough space in a google review to leave all the nice comments I would like to. Thank you to Cody, to Francesco, the office staff, and the crews who worked at our house. This company has our very enthusiastic endorsement! read more

This is just a rebranding of Ream Construction. 15 years ago I hired them to remodel my kitchen. I paid in full. Three months later went on vacation for a week and when we returned there was a notice in our mailbox that they had put a lien on our home. They said we didn't pay in full. Turns out the contractor made an addition error. It wasn't our fault. I wrote the check only after he apologized. Fast forward to 2021. I thought I'd give them another chance. I paid in full 2 weeks before the job was done. They lost track of the payment completely. At least this time I was available to take their call so they wouldn't penalize me for their error. Their work is good, but their accounting department leaves much to be desired. read more

We've called 3 times in the last week, and they call right back and say someone will be calling the next day to schedule the quote but the promised call never comes. Very frustrating and poor customer service. read more

Don't do it, you will regret it. I chose these guys in a jam, and they did the bare minimum charged me a rediculous amount and when I called to pay twice they never called back then out of the blue sent a letter warning of a lien unless I payed! Flack these guys in the arse. read more

My water heater went out (on a weekend of course!) and my landlord left it in my hands to have everything taken care of. As if being with hot water wasn't stressful enough! I called Disaster Kleenup and immediately felt like I was in great hands! The project manager was out within the next hour, and equipment was set up once the water heater was replaced and the area was dried out so we didn't have any concerns with mold. They called me daily to check in and picked up the equipment after a few days. Their calm demeanor and professionalism made everything a breeze, really effortless. Definitely would recommend and use again! read more
