What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise fast response, skilled crews, and transparent project management, particularly when insurance is involved. However, a minority report serious concerns: items going missing during flood cleanup, poor subcontractor oversight, missed follow-up appointments, and incomplete repairs that forced new insurance claims. The split suggests strong execution when things run smoothly, but inconsistency in follow-through and potential issues with content handling.

Praised for
  • quick response and assessment
  • professional crews and attention to detail
  • respectful handling of belongings
  • thorough cleanup and remediation
  • responsive communication
Watch-outs
  • insurance-only work limits access
  • follow-up and accountability issues
  • items missing or improperly removed
  • disorganized subcontractor management
  • failed repairs requiring new claims
responsive-communicationpunctualthorough-cleanuprespectful-of-belongingsfair-pricingleft-mess-behindpoor-communicationdamaged-property
Best for: homeowners with insurance-backed water damage claims needing coordinated restoration and drywall repair
Think twice if: you need work done without insurance involvement, have valuable or collectible items on-site, or require guaranteed follow-up accountability

Strengths

  • fast response and on-site assessment
  • named project managers (Justin, Isaac, Eric) coordinate work end-to-end
  • careful crew selection and cleanliness protocols
  • handles full restoration scope including contracting

Worth knowing

  • Justin, Isaac, and Eric named as responsive project managers
  • crews include Severn Drywall and named contractor Paul
  • follow-up missed on at least one water damage job (supervisor promised visit in three days but did not return)
  • items reported missing during content removal (antiques, collectibles, dolls)
  • work done in 2-3 days typical for remediation and drywall replacement
  • plastic barriers used to contain drywall dust and mess

Common questions

Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes, the business works frequently with insurance-backed restoration. One negative review states they only service insurance claims and increase prices through that route; another negative says non-insurance work is not accepted.
How quickly can you respond to water damage?
Multiple reviewers report same-day or next-day assessment and quote. One review notes remediation began almost immediately after agreement.
How long does typical water damage work take?
Water remediation with drywall replacement typically takes 2-3 days for the crew to remove damage, prep, and clean up; full restoration timelines depend on scope and contracting phases.
