I don't write a lot of reviews, but if you're looking for help with water issues, I highly recommend Total Solutions. They're the best! We had a leaky roof earlier in the summer which caused water damage in two rooms in our house. After the roof was replaced we went looking to get the ceiling fixed. Knowing there was likely mold we looking into a few companies before finding Total Solutions. Brandon worked with us to make it work with our schedule and budget as much as possible, which we really appreciated. He is incredibly professional, honest, skilled, and has a great team working with him. He also caught a rotted board the roofing company (an unrelated company) had missed, so I was able to contact them and get that rectified at no cost to me. We can breathe easier knowing the mold is gone and our house is secure once again. If we ever have water issues again we know who to call. Thank you Brandon!

When my basement flooded over the 4th of July holiday, I was incredibly stressed. From the very beginning, this restoration company was prompt, professional, and compassionate. They responded quickly, even on a holiday, and immediately got to work to help prevent further damage. The entire team was organized, hardworking, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. A special thank you to Jonas, who was absolutely amazing! He kept me informed every step of the way, answered all of my questions, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel so much easier. One of the biggest benefits was that they worked directly with my insurance company, which took so much stress off my shoulders. Everything was handled efficiently, and I always felt like I was in good hands. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs restoration services. Their professionalism, communication, and customer care are truly outstanding. Thank you for turning such a stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience!

Brandon & his Dad, Jonas were the best! We had just moved in to our home 2 weeks before the flooding in the basement! We've never had this problem in any of the homes we owned. My Realtor recommended Total Solution and I couldn't have been more pleased. They came in right away and started cleaning up and putting dehumidifiers and air filter machines. They worked with State Farm (very challengeing). I completely think all homeowners should add back up water/sewer coverage to their policies - it paid for everything! Anyway, my husband had a medical emergency and the team offered to help move our stuff to the garage before they started demo of the drywall-soaked walls. They are a family-owned company and they treated us like family. Thank you Brandon, Jonas and team! _Sheryl & Tony

I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, the team was professional, responsive, and thorough. They walked me through the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way.The work itself was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. The crew showed up on time, kept the area clean, and completed the project on schedule. My Carpet and flooring looks amazing and has completely transformed the look of the interior of my home. I truly appreciate their quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service. I highly recommend Total Solution Cleaning & Restoration to anyone in need of roofing work —they really go above and beyond!
