- NWNikeya WingfieldDec 18, 20255.0Met these cool dudes. One name is George. They became really good friends with my three kids. Also they did a really good job on the bathroom floor I’m so in love with it. And a really good paint job on the ceiling. Hope to see these guys again in life . #godbless
- JDJonathan DiFriscoDec 11, 20255.0Zach and the team were great to work with. We had water damage due to a faulty A/C install and Zach went out of his way multiple times to help us navigate the process. They were thorough, upfront, and informative every step of the way. Hopefully we never deal with mold mitigation again, but if we do I'd go right back to Local Home Restoration. Thank you!!
- LDLaura DeMarsNov 10, 20255.0Local Home Restoration was efficient, upfront and professional in helping me with damage from a second floor water leak that also required work on a main level ceiling. They worked with me to match tile and paint. The end result was quality work that left my house in great shape. I really appreciated the job done.
- KFKathryn FreedmanOct 12, 20255.0Since Hurricane Helene, we have dealt with four different companies trying to get our basement and crawl space back to where it was pre-Hurricane. We had 2 sump pumps, 2 dehumidifiers, battery back ups, etc. that all had damage from the hurricane. They were working but not consistently so every time it rained we had some additional leaking. Two of the companies came in with quotes that were ridiculously expensive and two companies just would not show up when they were scheduled. My husband and I both work full time so we couldn’t keep taking off from work waiting for people to show up! Thankfully we found Local Home Restoration. Zach and his team showed up exactly when they said they would. He sent texts and emailed our quote. We had one set back where the new sump pumps were delayed in shipping so we couldn’t do the installation when it was scheduled. Zach was great about communicating about this and rescheduled at a convenient time. Installation went really well and we paid using an online invoice. We are so pleased and it looks great. Can’t recommend them enough!!
