James and Manny were not only responsive, but very professional and went over and beyond taking care of a basement leak; efficiently taking care of the damage and assessing (accurately) potential future problems to be addressed. He even went back to check that everything was running smoothly. God Bless.

Invoice came 40-130% over the initial quotation. Dishwasher drain overflow treated like heavy sewage (category 3) damage. Poor experience with roto rooter, would not recommend for restoration.

Quoted a $3-5k for a restoration. Invoice came in $2k over said amount. Insurance company states unnecessary charges added in for a slight leak - going back and forth with company now. Not a good experience at all, State Farm said they are known for this.
