TESTIMONIALS

I have direct experience working as an independent mold and environmental inspector on many of United Restorations mold remediation projects over the past 20 years. I appreciate their professionalism and serious attitude about doing the job right. They obviously take pride in their work and it shows in their results.

Eric McKee

I worked with United to remediate a leak around the base of my alcove shower. They were very responsive in scheduling the remediation work and treating the area for water damage. We decided to upgrade the finishes and the repair work was quickly scheduled and completed to a very high quality. I highly recommend them…

Jeffrey Garcia

Over the last 10 years I have recommended United Restoration to numerous families in need of help for everything from flooding to fire. This company is honest and highly experienced. I have always received praise from ALL customers that had work performed by this company.

Aftercare

United Restoration was sourced out by our insurance company after our kitchen flooded. They were at our house within an hour or less. All of the teams who helped us were great. I would 100% recommended this company!
