EXCELLENT Based on 143 reviews Juan Alvarez2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hard working professional and see their work through excellent Todd Bell2025-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bryan and his entire team were top-notch! Thoughtful, thorough, comprehensive and cost-effective. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Bryan and his crew performed a 2nd remediation project at my home Jan 2025. They continue to be the most thoughtful, professional and fair home service provider I have met. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone I know! Marc Adamson2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are phenomenal. I had a couple incidents of water damage and they have always been available in a timely fashion. Almost immediately. Jesus and Tad are very knowledgeable and are always very honest in their assessments. Can’t recommend them enough. Megan Malave2025-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I experienced a house fire in December on a Friday night. When I called Certified Restoration on Saturday morning, Michael was quick to help me assess my immediate needs and call his team into action. Within 1-2 hours, Jesus was at my home fixing my front door (which was unfortunately broken when the fire department entered my home). He was kind, efficient and knowledgeable. On Monday, Jesus and Tad came to my home to determine next steps. I was lucky that the damage was mostly around smoke and the smell of the smoke in my home. Tad was able to calmly explain my options and break it all down into a digestible process for me, while I was still in a state of shock. I now know way more about fire restoration then I ever thought I would because he took the time to answer all my questions and share his expert knowledge with me. It would have been very easy for someone to take advantage of the situation, but Tad was kind and patient in helping me navigate cost, insurance and stress after this traumatic experience. It took time but the smell is gone and I truly can’t thank the team at Certified Restoration enough. Matthew2025-01-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Certified Restoration cleaned up the water from a dirty water back up for me, then the placed air scrubber to stop mold and finally they cleaned the inside of my wall. This company helped me contact demo teams, and aspestis testing company. Not only was I happy with the work provided, I am much appreciative of the company being kind to my over talkative neverous personality. Hiring this company will get your job done correctly and you will be treated like a human being: I very much recommend them. Bruce Rosenblatt2024-12-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael and Tad are the best ever. These guys will take care of you beginning to end as they are Water Damage experts. They live to get the job and are extremely fast and efficient. They don’t overcharge like other Flood companies and their experts in not only single-family homes but multifamily housing. I highly recommend using this company! Mike Holt2024-12-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I woke up to discover my refrigerator supply line had broken, causing extensive water damage in my kitchen, living room, and office to my north park San Diego home, I knew I needed professional help fast. I called Certified Restoration based off their exceptional reputation for water damage restoration services, and their team arrived in less than 45 minutes. They immediately began the flood remediation process, working efficiently to address the situation. Over the next three days, they methodically dried my house, providing daily updates and handling all communication with my insurance company. Jesus, Ulises, Luis and the entire team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout the process. Their prompt response and thorough work made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I highly recommend Certified Restoration for anyone facing water damage in their home. Ray Yomtob2024-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received an early-morning call from my tenant who just returned home and informed me that there was water intrusion in the bathroom. When I walked it with her, I was concerned to say the least as it seemed bad and I also witnessed some growth that was beginning to form as a result.. I called Certified Restoration and they dispatched someone out to survey the situation. Shortly thereafter, their technicians went on to stabilize the environment and then worked their protocol to arrest any mold growth and thoroughly dry things down. They worked super clean and got us out of harms way. Can’t say enough on how professional they performed and what pros they actually were. Special shout out to Brian and Thomas, who made me feel confident with their knowledge and process and where my tenant felt immediate comfort with the human element that they displayed. Ardy Beheshti2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole team was amazing and did an excellent job. Brian, Tomas, Jesus and Mike, thank you all Kim Elliott2024-10-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have now worked with certified restoration two times. For two different leaks in my home. And I will say that Tad, who is the supervisor and Jesus were not only wonderful to work with and accommodating, but they took the time to ask the right questions and they have a network of superior partners that they work with and really help you get through these kinds of times. As a woman who lives on her own, sometimes these things can be really scary. But the guys that certified are pros. And this time when I had another slab leak, I asked my insurance to send back certified restoration to my house!
EXCELLENT Based on 139 reviews Melissa G.Verified Had a recent mold issue in both my bathrooms. Ulises and Adan were super kind and respectful during me entire service appointment. Not only did they complete the restoration to both my bathrooms, they noticed there was some to the bathroom door and took care of that as well. I really wish I had before/after pictures because it looks perfect. Super recommend for their great service, skills, and speediness. Juan A.Verified Service for water damage they are professional keep you in the loop and do great work. Good value for the quality of work. K K.Verified This is a great company. Tad and Jesus were top notch at assessing the problem (leak from fridge to lower basement), communicating options, and working with us to restore only what was needed. Great value. I'd highly recommend Certified Restoration. Karen T.Verified Great company. I called them to investigate a musty smell in a little used bathroom. Arrived on time and Jesus did a thorough inspection, reporting a low water level in toilet which was causing moldy buildup inside bowl. He cleaned and deodorized the toilet and checked bathtub. There is carpet in the bathroom but he found no dampness. There was no attempt to sell me unnecessary work. He was extremely nice, pleasant and helpful. The person who answered my initial call was also extremely pleasant and helpful. I recommend calling them if you have any water damage or mold issues in your home or office. Helen G.Verified I can't say enough about this company! We had a major flood 5 days before house guests were due to arrive for our son's wedding. Tad was at our house within hours, was very reassuring, and worked hard with his team to dry out our downstairs and reset our furniture in time for our guests to arrive. Tad, Tomas and all their crew were so professional - responsive, prompt, thorough, polite - and they left the space as clean as possible when they were done. Tad even came back to walk the space with our insurance adjuster and point out damage that may not have been obvious. They go above and beyond and I strongly recommend them! Kyle ..Verified I recently experienced a flood at my house and turned to Certified Restoration for help. From start to finish, their service was outstanding. The team arrived promptly and immediately took action to mitigate the water damage. They were professional, efficient, and very careful with my belongings. Understanding how important my items were, they meticulously packed and stored everything in a MI-BOX storage unit, ensuring each item was protected. Throughout the restoration process, they communicated clearly and kept me informed of the progress. They even sent me photo updates along the way, see the pics sent in my review. When the restoration was complete, Certified Restoration helped me move everything back in, making sure everything was in its place and in the same condition as before the flood. I highly recommend Certified Restoration for their exceptional service and attention to detail. They truly care about their customers and their belongings. Matt C.Verified Michael, the owner, and his entire crew were a pleasure to work with. They were professional. The communication was very clear and personable. Michael even offered some advice on repairing and rebuilding the space they cleaned and sanitized. And the work was thorough, getting our house back to normal. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends and family. Kelly A.Verified Even in Michael's response to this review he is lying. I verbally spoke to him about the full scope of the job. I told him that the entire job included the upstairs, he agreed, and now he is lying by saying we only wanted what was in the photos. That's categorically false. I verbalized that I did not have access to take pictures but we did indeed want that included. He still did not address the fact that they took the money and ran without us inspecting the job even though two of us asked to check the work when they were done. Now he's saying "contact me to discuss" but that's what we've been trying to do and he doesn't respond! His response was to appear helpful/responsive to those reading these reviews but don't believe it folks- he's not! Brooklyn R.Verified I contacted certified restoration for a water link in our condo unit. The team was super responsive, came out on a Sunday morning when other companies were closed and provided steps to get remediation repair started immediately. I highly recommend using this company. Jessica F.Verified Tad, Tomas and Luis did an amazing job. They were efficient, professional exceptionally polite and kind. Certified Restoration delivered above and beyond!
