Tony LAURA, who is the owner of HERO restoration was the best General Contractor I have ever dealt with and I've been around CONSTRUCTION for 40 years. He was excellent about communication. He project managed my work very very well, every one of the subcontractors, and or workers were very knowledgeable. Very good at what they did very respectful of my home. He was fair in his pricing and change orders. I won't hesitate to use him if I ever have another project the restoration and master bathroom remodel turned out excellent. read more

I dealt with a lot of demolition an and restoration people while trying to find the best company to help me when my kitchen pipe "burst" and had water damage in my kitchen and garage. When I met Roger Sanchez from Hero restoration, I just felt re-assured that everything was going to be ok. He had great communication, very respectful, and even exchanged family stories of raising kids. His team did an excellent job of putting everything back in place like nothing ever happened. Roger saw how stressed I was especially since this water damage happened as we were trying to sell our home. They even finished ahead of schedule and allowed us to keep it on the market. I am truly grateful for their service. I would definitely recommend them. Roger was an amazing team leader and deserves a raise!!! read more

We worked with Hero Restoration on an insurance claim beginning in May 2025 and received insurance approval a couple of months later. Once the insurance company approved their estimate, we reached out to Hero for next steps. After a couple of meetings, our project manager stopped returning calls. I left several messages with their corporate office, but none were returned. After a few weeks of no response, we decided to restart the process with other restoration companies. In speaking with multiple firms, it became clear that Hero had significantly underestimated the true cost of the work - likely explaining why communication stopped altogether. Overall, the lack of follow-through and communication caused unnecessary delays during an already stressful situation. I do not recommend this business. read more

I sent this text to Hero Restoration: Hi Tony. I wanted to let you know that as a realtor I deal with alot of contractors. But, I have to let you know that the professionalism and the attitude with which you and your team worked on my client's home at 3063 Nute was incredible. You guys did an amazing job, ahead of schedule and within budget. I mostly work in Los Angeles, but, I have friends and family in the OC and San Diego and will refer you for any flooring needs. God bless y'all brother! read more

I had a leak in my master bathroom and bedroom in 2024. After being connected to Hero Restoration and once I got insurance approval, they did a fantastic job. David was the lead and had great communication laying out all the next steps in the project. His crew, Juan and Armando, were the main ones working at my house and they were stellar. Juan in particular was meticulous, showed up on time, left the job site clean and always took the time to answer questions. I am very happy with Hero Restoration and the quality of work they provided. Thank you David, Juan and Armando. read more

Strongly recommend against hiring this company. Little to no integrity and nominal work quality. It was a generally poor customer experience in working with Hero Restoration. In reading other reviews, the company has demonstrated the ability to do a good job - just not this time. Lots of things promised by the company that never happened, delays of work, and an ever changing cast of supervisors. Also very aggressive in pursuing insurance funding before completion of the project. Hard pass on recommending this company to any other homeowners. read more

Tony and his crew were very professional and I especially loved that they cleaned every day after they worked. Their craftsmanship was on point too. We are very pleased with their work overall. I highly recommend Hero! read more

They finally sent someone to check our complaints an hopefully fix it and now we are just hoping they can find the railings they need for the drawer, it just truly sucks it took my review earlier to finally get someone to contact us read more

Hero restoration to the rescue! My home had mold issues and desperately needed restoration. And Roger was the project lead and he was superb! Roger was very good with communication and scheduling his crew. The crew did an excellent job on the restoration of the bathroom, downstairs work out tool, tiles, counter top, and cabinet! Roger took care of getting the best material for the bathroom and I m so satisfied with the results! I will definitely call on Hero Restoration and Roger if I ever need any construction work. A+ services and communication! read more

Tony called the Cfo I had helping. Tony denied he said no to warranty repairs. I had a CFOand a Builder and a Cabinet maker inspecting this renovation.We met at least 5 times with the CFO writing things down and having Tony sign. The last agreement was the warranty. Tony voided the agreement and the warranty. One of the repairs is taking the bolt out of the stucco from the bay window change. They didn't stucco and seal the outside wall of the house. Two of the inside doors slams by themselves. We asked him to remove 2 tiles because there trip hazards. We asked him to replace a toilet seal. He agreed to do it and changed his mind. His cabinet men came in and did new caulking in the kitchen. They let him know it needed a scribe above the pantry. He said no. We didn't ask for much. Some of it should of been in the install. When he says No to warranty repair. He has no business contacting the CFO who spent many hours trying to straighten out this whole house restoration. He didn't call me and I am the owner. The warranty repairs were not unreasonable. I specially asked him not to void the agreement and the warranty. Tony does not like his review which is very honest. We had to have a CFO the whole time. TONY would lie to us twice in front of the CFO when the CFO asked he told the truth. Don't like you're reviews Tony...do you're warranty work. Absolutely no referrals for business for you. You put you're signature on the agreement warranty. That is legal and binding. I will take of the work you should be doing. read more

From start to finish Hero Restoration did everything they promised. Good price and quality work. I couldn't be happier! read more

Hero restoration did an amazing job! I love the way everything turned out. David was the lead and really was the best! He was very informative and patient with me. My house had a leak and flooded my home in July. It was a nightmare dealing with the insurance. I contacted Hero restoration in October. David made the situation so much easier for me. He contacted the adjuster and was able to get things done even with some back and forth he made the whole situation less stressful for myself. Still working on a few things for approval but I'm finally back home and my house is beautiful. Very great quality work and materials. The workers that were here were very nice and I believe his name was Roberto was very helpful and attentive. I would not wish this on anyone else but in the event I know someone in the situation I definitely would refer them to David! I only wish I had been referred early on in the situation, I definitely would have been home sooner. read more

On July 2023 of last year my family and I experienced a major leak in our home. We contacted express dry directly and this was the second time and I felt comfortable with his estimate and direct relationship with doing their best to make our lives less stressful. Because of the extreme damages and my family and I had to move out of our home for 3 full months. In November I signed a completion to a finished project. Because the extreme stress I was under did not think from this point I would have any other issues as Roger and I had been in contact with each other and I was letting him know the huge box of trash, contractors trash and toilet as well as the open floor would be a major depression for me to continuously look at for months on end. This trash stayed in my home in the living room floor until it was removed in April 2024. The actual flooring was completed in May 2024. Now I am being threatened by a collection company and threatened to be sued because I have asked this company to reduce the overall cost of this project seeing that they failed to complete the work as well as pick up trash in a timely manner. Vents were left off as well. Please think twice about hiring this company to do work for you. As they will not make any adjustment in cost even after they left my home like this. 9/6/2024 Crystal I which I would have done more research on your company. As I was getting ready to write my own review I noticed I am not the only customer you have treated like this. I am not going to go back and forth with you. All I can say to consumers moving forward is do your due diligence to look over all of the reviews and choose wisely. Thank God I kept all email text and the pictures speak for themselves. My financial situation has nothing to do with the fact that you broke the agreement by having leaving trash in my home for months at a time and leaving the flooring undone for months at a time. Again if you are a consumer you have a right to research wisely. read more

Had our second leak in our home and completed damaged our carpet . Called hero out again and they were so helpful in helping us decide what flooring to Go with and how to go about the whole process. The whole team worked fast & effectively. Highly recommend! Our home looks better than ever ! read more

I just had some work done at my home by Hero Restoration and they did an, overall, excellent job! My home's flooring got some water damage because of a water heater leak and Hero was the company recommended to me for the repairs, with Bryan Varela as the project manager and my main point of contact. Initially, I was a bit skeptical as there were some communication issues between us but Bryan was a true pro and gentleman. He reached out to me and we hashed out our issues, each of us apologizing for our role in things. Because of that, we were able to forge a better understanding, with better communication and things were smooth sailing after that. He's the type of pro who doesn't shy away from having those tough conversations and will treat a client with respect. More vendors and business people, as a whole, could stand to learn a lot from Bryan in terms of customer service and professionalism. In the end, my home's repairs were finished a few days ahead of schedule and the new floors look great! Bryan helped me pick out something that not only looked great but also best served my family's needs. His team of repair people not only did a great job but were also super respectful as they had to work around us while we worked from home. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Hero Restoration to anyone nor would I hesitate in hiring them again should I ever need this level of home repair again. read more

My home was flooded, so called Hero Restoration to rebuild it. Roger S. did a phenomenal job as Project Manager. He and his team were meticulous in every aspect of the job, and made my home much better than it was before. They were here every day until it was all done. Polite, hard-working gentlemen made me feel that my home was the most important in town. Roger S. kept in touch with me almost daily to make sure I was happy with how it was going. I HIGHLY recommend them for any restoration job! read more

We hired Hero to be just that. And they were. It was an insurance repair and they were thorough and complete. The project supervisor, Roger Arroyo, is an absolute gem. He performed some duties beyond the scope of what was required, without any repair time lost. Roger is our "hero." The shower and bathroom rebuild was completed a few days late but the costs for good value remained the same. Thank you Roger and Hero Restoration! read more

I strongly recommend to avoid using Hero Restoration! This is a terrible company that I only ended up using due to one of the water damage/ drying companies working with them. The issues I have are with visible items and it really makes me worry about the quality of their work that I cannot see. Keep in mind that every photo is after they completed work and were ready for me to make final payment. If not for the time to replace, then I would have all of their work completely redone by a qualified and reputable company (and I will likely still redo their low quality work). Do yourself big favor and avoid this company! Issues: -Low quality and little to no desire to correct -Lack basic attention to detail: workers and management -Zero cleanup -Basic tasks are difficult -Cash poor. Trying to get final payment before all work is complete. -Slow. Ending up taking ~2 months longer than quoted. Pictures: keep in mind every issue was deemed acceptable by Hero Restoration, or missed, and they wanted me to complete final payment. More detail: -Dimensions are off with tiles not lining up from wall to wall, when they should, and group gaps being excessive. The lines go from no gap, to acceptable gap, to grout gaps of 1/2" +. There were a lot of other attention to detail issues - some fixed and some not. -Painting was a huge issue. I had the paint and they just needed to use it. They would use the wrong sheen on multiple major paints or just touch ups. There was something like fIve days of paint touch ups because they kept making the problem worse every time. Other issues were not doing grout well, grout color not consistent in area, clear silicone over blue painters tape, and countless other issues. -Pointed out many issues and the on-site contractor would make comments like "not sure if we can correct because it will take too much time. I'll have to call." -No cleanup. Left filthy and then issues with water drainage because they used the shower drain as a trash chute. read more

I've worked construction. Also been around contractors my entire life, and I have never heard of paying for a bid! I also do not write many reviews, especially negative ones but this is unheard of. 500 dollars to come give an estimate. Crazy, you are down and out and need repairs and they try and kick you while you are down. Junk , Sincerely, Ian I had a new pool company come out, he introduced himself and looked at the pool, maybe he should have charged for that. No measurements or anything so what do you thing 350? read more

****SINCE CRYSTAL IS WORKING OVERTIME GETTING MY REVIEW DELETED I WILL JUST CONTINUE POSTING THIS!!!**** Do not trust this company! Tony (owner of this company) sent out a painter to my house and the owner reassured me that everything was safe to just go ahead and leave my garage opener somewhere hidden and that they will make sure to lock the house up or make sure to wait for me till I got home From running errands to secure the location. I rushed home from my errands because I was alerted that my Internet was disconnected. He disconnected my Internet because he knew that my cameras obviously needed the Internet to monitor the house. When I came back home, the painter was quickly leaving and had his trunk filled with stuff and covered with a tarmac. I did not think really anything of it because I had so much stuff in my garage and I had a storage unit in my driveway. I started clearing up the garage and the storage unit after all the Construction was completed. We started looking for certain items that were completely gone! He stole over $1000 worth of my stuff, my mom's belongings and my sons! I did not make anything of it for a while because my mom was dying and she finally passed away and I now have the right mind too Make this statement. I have filed the police report and will be taking them to court! This is the very shady company. I am a single mom, and at that time was a caregiver for my elderly mother. Mind you, my elderly mother was in the house, while this guy ransacked my garage and helped himself to whatever he wanted! He should be ashamed of himself as well as this company. They told me that they would try to work with me, and I given them plenty of time and have been ignored! I will see you in court! read more

Hero Restoration took care of our home as if it were their home. There are so many steps in filing an insurance claim when you have an ongoing leak over a period of time that we were y aware of until the water damage wiped out half of our two story home. It's such a long process to deal with when filing an insurance claim. But with Roger's help, he reassured me that he would guide me through this process and he even helped speaking with our claims Adjustor since they already had previous work together here in the Inland Empire area. Roger helped speed up this long process and helped guide me through the ins and outs of this mess. Our home is our special place and when you see it torn apart, it does something to you. Roger continued to reassure me he would help me with this process and was there continuously throughout this entire process. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. I feel so blessed to have had Roger to work with. This is a scary time for anyone when their home takes a loss but Hero Restoration will help you put your home back together again. I also got approved for way more than I thought I was going to for the repairs. He helped me maximize our claim getting money for us to do actual upgrades. read more

Hero Restoration and Tony Lara should not be in business and should not have a contractor's license. Do yourself a favor - research and go with another contractor. I also went through my insurance for the emergency leak and water damage to my two bathrooms. The emergency leak and insurance claim process started July 2021 and I hired Hero Restoration in August 2021 after Express Dry did their job to dry out the water damage before the repairs could start. I would NEVER recommend Hero Restoration or Tony Lara. I would leave zero stars if possible. It is now a year later since my emergency leak and claim process started - this is unacceptable. I now have to work with a new contractor to fix the additional leaks and damages caused by the "completed" work done by Tony Lara and Hero Restoration. Photos added for documentation. Update on Sat 8/6/22: Tony Lara, thank you for your response. This is where we disagree and this is why I will see you in court with all of my documentation. I will not work with Tony Lara or Hero Restoration ever again because it is excuse after excuse - and zero responsibility. I am working with a new contractor because after a year of this nightmare and torture - I will never work with Tony Lara or Hero Restoration ever again. Both of my bathrooms and my downstairs neighbor's bathrooms have to be completely replaced again (we only have two bathrooms so we will need to figure out somewhere else to stay at). This has disrupted our lives again and is going to effect our surrounding neighbors again. Thank you for the additional work and additional trauma. I will see you in court. Good day. Update on Sat 8/13/22: Photos added for documentation. Crystal Lara and Hero Restoration clearly do not understand that I am serious and that I'm not going anywhere until this issue is actually resolved. read more

Wish I could give them 0 stars. I would definitely not recommend it. The craftsmanship was terrible, really sloppy work. The "Contractor," Roger, rarely ever came by to oversee the work, and I'm not really sure he would have known anything anyway. What should have taken a week took over a month. They never even finished putting the baseboard or part of the drywall in the garage. There was no attention to detail, and the craftsmanship was terrible, not to mention they messed up my dishwasher, and I had to get it serviced. They never followed up to finish and fix anything. Finally, the manager, Tony, came out and agreed the work was sloppy and decided to credit money off the final bill; I didn't think I should have to pay anything. Next thing you know weeks later, and they sent it to collections. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs. read more

We were very happy with the results of the work performed by Hero Restoration. They were great in communicating the timeline of our project and made sure to stick with it. The final outcome was better than we anticipated. All of the people involved in our project were very professional and ensured that we were completely satisfied with the work being done on our home...from start to finish...and beyond. Thank you David, Mike and to all your guys. Great great job! Jeff and Denita S., Menifee read more

Hero Restoration - New flooring to replace flooded bathroom and old flooring that was damaged - Damage Restoration Near Me

The team and quality of work at Hero Restoration is phenomenal! They're flexible and willing to roll with the changes as you go!

I had a slab leak that required the entire first floor to get demoed. I originally called Dry County Restoration but they ghosted me after they couldn't agree on the rebuild cost with my insurance adjuster, it was like a $30,000 difference. It turned out they were inflating the quote with a bunch of BS. I called Hero Restoration to give me a quote to compare with my adjuster's quote and it was only like $120 difference. Roger was my project manager, he would communicate with my adjuster directly to make sure I wouldn't get my claim denied. He is very communicative, if I called and he couldn't answer the phone he'd text me letting me know he will call me back. I highly recommend Hero Restoration, they are here to help the customer read more

Had a bathroom that had a blow out and was gutted. Hero restoration, Dave Leon, Project Manager came in from the start and provided a very real and fair quote for returning our bathroom to a state of being useful and cosmetically pleasing. Once the the funding was approved the team came in and was very professional in restoring the walls, equipment to the way it looked before the blow out. Now the bathroom is fully restored and looks better then when we bought the home. I would highly, highly, highly recommend Hero Restoration to everyone who needs a restoration project done. I hope you get the same crew we were assigned. You will not go wrong with choosing them they are fair when looking at the job that you will need to accomplish. read more
