On the interview, Jim DeGennaro was informative, knowledgeable, and so very kind. I am anxious about having work in my home and he made me feel so at ease. He worked with me to plan how to minimize the perceived disruption. The proposal was reasonable, and he wrote it quickly. Jim and his crew, Felix and Alex, arrived on time, and were so great to work with. They brought everything needed...scrubbers, lots of drop cloths and plastic to protect my home, etc. They worked so professionally, quickly, neatly, and quietly, and were thorough. I expect to pass the retest with flying colors. They had to cut a chunk of concrete out of the wall, and a few hours after they left, they even called to suggest ways to rebuild that part of the closet that they'd investigated on my behalf after they left. I recommend them unconditionally. As an added bonus, these are truly nice people.

Buyer Beware of Brinks Oil…read more My experience with Brinks Oil was extremely disappointing. In December 2025, I contacted them because I needed to close out an old sand-filled oil tank on my property. I purchased my home 22 years ago and did not have the original paperwork from the previous owners regarding the tank. I explained this to Brinks, and they told me that if I could locate the paperwork, the process would be simple and easy to close out. Although it seemed unlikely after so many years, I went to the city and was able to obtain old permits related to the tank. When I called Brinks back with this information, they suddenly changed their story and claimed there were two tanks on the property that would need to be addressed. I provided proof showing there was only one tank. Then, after I provided that documentation, I was told that the soil contamination levels were too high and that remediation would be required. They even opened a case with the state. Concerned, I sought a second opinion from another environmental company. They reviewed the situation and advised me that the levels were actually acceptable for a tank that had been sand-filled over 22 years ago. Unfortunately, because Brinks had already opened a state file, the matter still needed to be properly closed out. Brinks then wanted an additional $5,000 to perform work that I no longer felt was necessary. At that point, I lost confidence in them and hired another company to complete the process. From the beginning, it felt like new issues kept appearing every time I provided the documentation they requested, and it seemed more focused on generating additional fees than helping resolve the problem. Most of my communication was with Frank and Connor. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage homeowners to get a second opinion before agreeing to any additional work or costs.

EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL & ENTITLED WORKERS…read more I'm a security officer for an elementary school in Hillside. I came outside to place cones for our school buses and noticed two large Brink Vehicles parked in our bus spots. I asked the man that got out of one of the trucks if he could park elsewhere because this is a school zone and I have buses with children pulling up. He tells me "I'll move up in a couple minutes once the tow truck moves ". Me being COURTEOUS I told him I'll wait a few minutes for the Brinks tow truck to move. Over 20 minutes pass and the worker never returned to move the trucks. By this point it is time for my busses to drop the children off, so I approached the man once again asking him to move his vehicles from the unauthorized school zone (yes there are no parking signs here) . The worker proceeds to stick his middle finger up at me and flip me off and continued to walk to the customer's house. EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL. I told him I'll just have their vehicles towed and called the Hillside PD non emergency number for a tow truck to come . Once I made it know that I'll just have them towed he got back in the truck and moved it to the clients driveway. When he could've done that from the beginning... All of this is recorded on the school exterior cameras. Between all the negative reviews they have, you would think they'd do better. Very unprofessional.

This review is specific to 911 Restorations 500 S 31ST ST, KENILWORTH,…read moreNJ, 07033 (UNION) that is owned and operated by Adi Schwartz. I cannot give a lesser score - Yelp should have negative numbers to give to this company. Everything that is stated below is documented with photos and I will happily share. My daughter had substantial damage to her home inside and out due to vandalism. The insurance company has a contract with these people and my daughter allowed them to do the job. She was quoted 4-6 weeks, she was displaced in a hotel with my grandson and their dog on 28 April 2019 and was forced to go back to the house on 30 October 2019. The reason I say forced is because the home was not done and what little was done was falling apart. There were 4 walk throughs of the house and each time they failed to give her a home that was completed per the work order. It was not just us that saw this her insurance agent came and saw what was done and they called the corporate office of the agency to get them involved because they never saw anything so disgusting before. They did not get a dumpster for months and threw debris in the yard. The people that came out if they did worked maybe 2-4 hours and left. They were clearly unexperienced, they did not even come with their own tools and instead used her tools and supplies. The day after they placed the siding on the house it started falling off. If you allow these people to touch your home you are only asking for further problems. They destroyed my grandson's bed which was not to be touched and threw it out in the yard through the window. The replaced windows with wrong sizes They replaced double hung windows with single hung windows They sawed off the window sills without permission or a valid reason other than they did not know how to do the capping They did not clean the walls and then painted over food debris and dirt from the vandalism They did not repair walls and also made new holes in her walls They replace a fan blade and said they replace the entire fan (which does not work) They did not clean the yard of the glass and debris and they threw the nails into the yard. You could not safely walk in the yard for fear of stepping on rusty nails and glass. She could not even get someone to mow the yard for almost a year until it was cleaned up. They broke the fan in her bedroom by leaning doors and other items up against it (got photos) they mixed and used flat, satin and eggshell finish paints on the same walls to do touch ups Capping was not done correctly They cut off service boxes (water and cable) and denied doing it until we found them laying beneath the debris in the back yard. They threw debris into yard and on top of a car in her driveway scratching it They threw debris on top of personal property ruining a swimming pool, Trampoline and a gas grill They used her kitchen chairs as saw horses and sawed through them They damaged her electrical ground wire They placed the electric service meter below code (code is 3-5 feet from ground level) Doors were not set square - huge gaps open to the outside and the door will not stay closed because the door does not latch - (the deadbolt has to be locked to keep the door from opening on its own) They damaged the wires to the outside lamp post The broke the security cameras and now the hang down and cannot be positioned. They cut out entire sections of siding instead of cutting so that the underlying wood was not exposed They placed TYVEK on the house (upside down) with the overlap facing up and failed to wrap the house to the peak They went into her cabinets and cooked and ate the food in her cabinets and left the trash for her to clean up. Sometimes they just took her plates and utensils and threw them in the trash They were drinking on the job and threw their empty cans into the yard They painted over nails and damage on the walls without correcting or cleaning the walls They did not set outlet and light switches into the walls and now they stick out, are on an angle, etc They installed a Pergo floor incorrectly and now entire floor is separating and popping up - did not place shoe molding, did not go to within 1/4" of the wall They left the home open and allowed bugs and mice to get inside because of this we had to remove all of the insulation in the attic because of the mice urinating in it. The quotes to repair the damage that they have done is $56,000 to $62,000. This is just for the repairs, this amount does not include the cost to be in a hotel, remove and store her house contents, and any underlying damages. They will have to be out of the house again to have everything taken out and redone (all the floors redone, the walls sanded and repainted, windows replaced. The above is only a few of the items that are an issue. This is a single mother who works hard to do what she can and this is acceptable to them to do this to her.

I cannot recommend him highly enough. Arsenije is the definition of reliable and extremely trustworthy--he is quite literally the type of person you feel entirely comfortable handing a house key to, knowing he has your absolute best interests at heart. He is incredibly punctual, showing up exactly when he says he will. What sets Arsenije apart is his honesty and attention to detail. If a hurdle came up, he was upfront about it immediately and already had a plan to fix it. His pride of workmanship is unmatched; if something doesn't look perfect, he usually catches and corrects it before you even notice. If I ever pointed anything out, he addressed it instantly without hesitation. Beyond his incredible work ethic, he is charismatic, friendly, and a genuine pleasure to have around the house. While working on one area, he'd casually point out other maintenance items around the house that needed attention--not to upsell me, but out of a sincere care for the integrity of my home. I honestly wish I could hire him to do everything in my house. If you get the chance to work with Arsenije, jump at it!
