    I hired this company for mold remediation and was very disappointed. The crew on-site was polite…read moreand super nice, but the process did more damage than the work itself. I was never told my built-ins would be completely removed, I only discovered it after the fact. Had I known, I could have arranged for proper removal, but instead they were torn out in a way that left them unsalvageable, costing me thousands to replace. Afterward, the company pointed to the notes fine print rather than acknowledging the lack of communication. If you use them, insist on a clearly explained scope of work. If you rely on professionals to help you navigate confusing home repairs, like myself, these aren't your guys. Update to response: First, I want to be clear that I don't believe Adam or the company ever acted with any intent to mislead me or cause harm. I think this situation came down to a lack of communication that unfortunately left me in a difficult position. About 90% of what Adam said in his response is true, but none of it directly addresses my actual concern. The real issue is whether the company made sure I fully understood the scope of work. Perhaps Adam thought... what idiot would not see it was obvious that the entire built-ins would need to be removed? Hi... it's me, I'm the idiot and truly I had no idea. I thought only a portion of my ceiling would be affected. Given the huge difference between what I understood and what actually happened, I believe the company should have explained this much more clearly. Like many homeowners, I rely on professionals to explain the scope of work in plain terms. I think that's a reasonable expectation. Adam is correct with my quote below but he left out the part where I explained that my issue was solely that I didn't know the built-ins were being removed. This was never clearly communicated to me, nor was I given the opportunity to remove them properly myself. Because of that, I feel my ability to make informed decisions was taken away. I only reached out to Adam directly later, after another contractor told me the closet could have been saved and that the removal was "unnecessarily destructive." Whether that's true or not, I'll never know. because I wasn't given the chance to find out. To clarify, the note about the built-ins wasn't hidden in "fine print," but it was only mentioned once in the "Other Notes" section. It was never discussed verbally, by email, or over the phone, and it wasn't included in the detailed action items. I don't think a single mention buried in a notes section qualifies as meaningful disclosure, especially when no one pointed it out or explained its implications. Perhaps Adam does. Lastly, the other points raised, like the quality of the closet materials, water damage, or insurance support, are not relevant to my concern. My issue has always only been about the lack of clear communication regarding the scope of work. Thank you.

    1 star - Would Not Recommend…read more We hired this company to handle mitigation work in our closet following a roof issue. While they were able to complete the job quickly, the overall experience was deeply disappointing and I would not recommend them. The Good: They were responsive and able to get to the job quickly, which matters in a mitigation situation. The Bad: The work was messy and careless. Sealant ended up on furniture that was well outside the containment area, and when we raised the issue, the team showed little accountability or willingness to take ownership of the mistake. The drywall removal was also poorly executed. Rather than making clean cuts, they tore it out recklessly, damaging surrounding drywall that was otherwise in good condition -- creating additional work and cost for the rebuild team. The Dealbreaker: My biggest concern was their resistance to providing dry logs. Our insurance company required them, and I had to essentially argue with this company just to get documentation they should have readily provided. In an insurance claim situation, this kind of pushback is completely unacceptable and added unnecessary stress to an already difficult process. In summary -- fast response, but poor workmanship, little accountability, and a frustrating lack of cooperation on critical documentation.

We contact multiple vendors to come and looks at the issue, but none were as thorough and experienced as Mark and his team. From the beginning to end, the experience has been stellar. Mark arrived to look at the issue promptly. He was able to identify the issue accurately and was honest about the necessary scope of the remediation work. (Other vendors suggest a smaller fix which ,in hindsight, would not have solved our issue in the long run and would require additonal work later on) Throughout the entire process, he constantly communicated the progress of the work and kept us update on the schedule, something that we appreciate since its the first time we have to deal with mold and water issues. Last but not least, Mark and his team take great care in carrying out the work and handling our belongings in the work area. If you need any restoration work done, I definitely recommend Quality Assurance Restoration.

I contacted a few different people, but Mark was the first to be willing to make it out to us that same day. After checking out the damage, he put my mind at ease and gave us the rundown of his plan of running a few fans and dehumidifiers in our utility closest and in the crawlspace. I asked him a bunch of questions I had, and he answered each one with ease and helped me understand what was going on. In the end, Mark and his team set up the fans and dehumidifiers in the spaces and left them for a few days. We were considering getting new tiling and he recommended Jose from Neza Restoration & Repair. Jose and Fernando also did a really good job. What makes Mark stand out from the rest is his availability, clear communication, and just being a down to earth guy. I felt I could trust Mark, and may have overstepped when asking for advice outside of water damage, but was he willing in answering and helping me out. God forbid I have more water damage in my future, but if I do, Mark and his team are the first ones I'll contact. And I'll be referring them to every person I know seeking water damage help from now on.

    Stay away. Read the owners response to bad reviews (yelp or google) he argues with all customers…read more That says a lot. Professional companies do not do this even if they believe they're correct. When trashing drywall and materials as expected, they were not supposed to trash anything personal. When the trash bags were outside we found a trophy, old family photos, blankets, medals and more (some in photos). I don't know if I missed more, I hope not. Owner claims we are liars and did not look through bags. I attached camera proof of me looking through the trash because of this. Don't know why he would think this is a lie because I can prove I did. Company showed up announced last day to pickup machines, 2 hours after scheduled time. Owner claims we "screamed and called them names," during this interaction. We have cameras and this encounter on video. No voices were raised or names called. That is pure slander and untrue. Company would leave after 2 hours of work and say they need to return next day (more than once), after you've already taken the day off. I have filed a complaint with the BBB, owner responds, said I called him/his company names, yelled, was "abusive", that I messaged him on weekends, and much more. All of these things are slander, I was nothing but kind to them. Phone records, cameras, and photos prove I have never called this person on a weekend and his other claims are lies. Company does messy work, randomly will damage things (shown in photos). Mold inspector said he can tell his work was not properly contained, this is a health risk. He also said 8,316 dollars is ridiculous for what was done. I showed company owner black mold on baseboards prior to work (pictures show). It was left and my home has failed the 2nd (final) test. Owner had a problem with us keeping our animals locked away during work. We made sure we were home and told him many times to let us know when they need to enter that room with the animals for work, they failed to ever inform us when they want to enter the room and then blamed never getting to it on us. Company left our front and back door wide open for extended periods, as long as 3 hours sometimes, for anything to get in. Owner claims he knew the first air test would fail and I wasted my money. I have a message from him on 01/15 of him claiming otherwise, I will attach it below. After feeling the work was done (shown via text), an air test failed, and owner claimed he absolutely never thought the work was done. Another example of random unprofessional lies. After this test fail, owner said our bar NEEDS to be gone to pass. So I allowed him to rip it up, re clean basement and tested again. Test failed again, so the bar is gone for nothing. I hardly spoke to his employees besides an occasional thank you, and owner says one "quit because of me." Then he said he fired one over me. Thy makes 0 sense. Company unplugged our basement fridge and we didn't notice for days. I asked them to please leave original doors and frames, they ripped every single frame up anyway. I would've allowed them to if they told me they needed to. Owner said we had a pipe leak. Within 24 hours I had a plumber out who fixed it. Later on owner claimed we "had a bathroom flooding the basement and argued with him about it," this is an example of the owners slander. I can prove I had a plumber there asap and never argued so I don't understand the random lies. This review is to warn.

Our condo is new and clean, I did not look super sick so I almost felt like I had to justify myself why I'm worried about mold. Like what are my symptoms, could it be from something else? Could the mycotoxins found in my urine be from food instead? Those were questions I was asked by the inspector before the inspection even started. Once I told him about the water leakage in our bathroom, he missed the still wet spot. He didn't rule there might mold behind the ceiling but overall didn't seem very concerned. We later cut out the drywall and found mold on the other side of the drywall and in the insulation. We mostly had this inspection done to confirm and gain deeper knowledge on what we already knew. I might be wrong but my impression is that if I wouldn't have had all this knowledge already - past water leak in the bathroom and still partially wet, elevated mycotoxin levels in urine - and let's say we had just the mold inspection done to rule out mold as the root cause of some of my health issues, the inspection would have come back with no findings. And I would have moved on missing the root cause of my issues.
