Jessica M
Schenectady NY / Water Damage Restoration

Matt is great. Starting from my I initial email to him he was very responsive and super helpful. He came out fast to give us an estimate. No long wait. Then as our project needs evolved based on other factors, he answered tons of questions and was flexible enough to change scope and method as we needed. Once we decided on the final plan he was able to get in quickly and do the work. He was on time and he and his brother are great guys. They communicated well during the job and were honest and transparent about any small issues that arose. They did the job well and left the site in great condition. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs these services. Thank you Matt!
