    Unbeknownst to us, our home had been suffering water damage, due to a crack shower tile, for years. It eventually became obvious and I began my research. Initially, I assumed it was a plumbing issue; but, was educated by my husband, who pointed me in the right direction ... "Water Leak Detection". During the early morning hours, of June 11th, I searched the web and read numerous "Yelp Reviews" for various companies. I earmarked a couple of reviews; and one in particular, "Smart Dry Restoration" stood out with a consistent rating of "5 Stars". I called during business hours; and, "Miss Natosha" literally held my hand, as I explained my dilemma. Later that morning, "Alonso" assessed the damage. Due to the fact that our home was built in the late 50's, our tile and wall needed to be tested for "Asbestos and/or Lead". "Lorenzo", Grace Environmental Solutions", took samples; and, our tile tested positive for lead. "Brian", from CVE, gave us an estimate. His amazing crew, "Luis" and "Jose", took the proper measures and removed the affected tile and drywall. "Alonso" kept constant communication and conducted the mitigation; i.e. Drywall, etc. (Please excuse my lack of recall to the extent of his labor). We had to wait for the drywall to completely dry, which was assisted by the placement of several blowers. Alonso kept us posted and checked the drying progress, which took approximately five days. "Manuel" gave us an estimate for the restoration. "Steven", who managed our project" was assisted by "Juan" and "Pedro". Their professionalism, expertise and team work exceeds a "5 Star Rating". I would, personally, like to thank Steven for his patience in my "Micromanagement"; and, to my husband, who lovingly and consistently said "Yes, Dear ... whatever you want." My husband and I would like to extend our appreciation to all those, who were instrumental in creating our beautiful master bathroom. God Bless You Thelma & Tim Savage

    The damage

    During installation of a new kitchen lighting system the electrician discovered that we have a huge black mold infestation. Since most our home projects happen on Saturdays, we were faced with having to find a quality contractor who would be able to (1) come right away and cover the ceiling and (2) provide a quality repair. After several unsuccessful calls, I've found Smart Dry Restoration. The technician came right away, secured the area and provided a reasonable estimate. The extensive repair started on Monday and was finished by Thursday. The team was super fast, super professional and they did a truly fantastic job. I highly recommend this business.

    Justin helped us turn a slow unsuspecting leak and water damage into a long time coming kitchen remodel and dream! After months of no answers from the warranty and the 4 plumbers they sent out, SmartDry came out and found where the water was coming from and made our home safe again in days. After consideration of the repairs now needed, we ended up renovating the kitchen/small family room into an entertainer's dream renovation. Justin was amazing to communicate with every step of the way. Thank you for all the care you put into this! Truly the best! Before pictures are from when the home was first purchased 3 years ago, as I don't have great before pictures before the demo. (Didn't realize so much would happen to know to take those before pics)

    These guys are flat out incredible. Speed, price, service. They hit it on all fronts…read more Marko was my point of contact. Initially I spoke with Braydon, their Chief Operating Officer. I reached out to them on Sunday, spoke with Braydon. He had Marko come out first thing on Monday. All within the same day I got a competitive quote. The work started and it's now Wednesday and we are all wrapped up. Talk about speed and efficiency. So professional, so kind, super friendly. I ended up finding them using AI, which is how I crossed paths with them in the first place. It was between them and one other company. Super happy that I picked them. Highly recommend!

    After posting this review a manager emailed that he'd like to make this better. So I emailed him…read moreback with the details of what happened, that they had the email address wrong so I never received the invoice, etc. The response I got was from the accountant saying, "Well you got a hard copy of the invoice in the mail" and you were informed insurance wasn't covering this." A, I never got the invoice in the mail and B, what does insurance have to do with it? You didn't send me an invoice to the correct email, period. All of your follow ups to pay were not received because they were going to the wrong email. You never called to tell me the invoice was past due. Then all of a sudden I get a call that I have 3 days to pay or they're putting a lien? Just own up to the fact that you could've called, that your people had the wrong email address, and apologize for your end of the problem instead of blaming me. That's what good business looks like.

    SDAS was a god send. They were recommended to me by my housing contractors and they were nothing…read morebut wonderful. After dealing with a previous abatement team who said removing the mastic tar was "not possible", these guys were able to come in and get it done. I also had to remove drywall and SDAS was able to provide a quick turnaround. Their work was clean and professionally done. I'm beyond happy to have found this company and will continue to work with them for any future work.

    We recently moved in and just gotten our asbestos results and wanted to get to abatement ASAP…read more We had Marc who was extremely thorough and helped us understand the process. He was also very accessible as we were able to call and text him if we had any questions. There was an error on our invoice and he corrected it quickly. The abatement team came quickly and were able to remove drywall from our master bedroom, hallway, popcorn ceiling for 2 rooms, and guest bathroom. We were able to add on removal of old cabinets and a fan to ensure there was no asbestos left. Overall they did it very efficiently and safely which I appreciated. The one con I have to mention was when they removed the ceilings fan they misplaced some of the attachments needed to hook the ceiling fan up. We didn't move anything so when we went to assemble it the piece was missing and we needed to buy extra. A lot of the closets and screws they detached were also not organized so it's been difficult assembling our stuff again. They did the job fast and well but I would recommend they organize items they detached better. We still have a few spots to remove asbestos but would consider them again.
