DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! October 24th, 2019 and we are still dealing with incompetent leadership. They installed peeling and splitting wood along our entire deck handrail and stairway. We noticed right away and verbalized our concern with how saturated the redwood was. It had sap leaking out everywhere and was wet to the touch. The workers had noticed and mentioned it to the Supervisor, Ray. On numerous occasions, Ray went back and forth trying to get the correct supplies the entire time. Always bringing the wrong things to our job site. Countless hours spent by the workers waiting for him to bring supplies and having to decline the materials because they were either not usable due to defect or incorrect. Verbally complaining that he just couldn't get it right. So we asked CRBR not to have him return and send James or someone else that was qualified to supervise our job. We asked several times, finally getting a promise to switch supervisors. But they didn't. Ray returned later in the job and brought the defective redwood to be installed. And they installed it in the spring of 2020. I told Vince, James, Ray and everyone I was supposed to at CRBR that I could not stain the wood to protect it right away due to its defects. They told me they would send someone up to inspect it, even after sending them pictures of the peeling and cracking. We even had an in person meeting at their shop and at their request we signed completion documents for the job. Vince promised they would make it right. Instead they pushed us off longer and longer, until finally now. To inspect it they hired someone from the outside to come look at it and right a report on their findings. I'm sure you can come up with the rest...the report said due to neglect to stain and protect the wood it is now defective. WOW!! Imagine that, you pay someone to write a report the way you want. It's obvious they cared only to collect my insurance money and not me as the customer.

"Dear [Member Name Removed], The inconvenience of a water damage is never expected. As you so carefully detailed in a favorable way how our Team approached the initial water damage, we appreciate those comments. And yes sometimes we run into extended issues like Asbestos etc... that said it is how we finish which concerns us. And in this case it appears we did not finish to your standards or ours. We have utilized your comments at our monthly safety meeting and reviewed your job for areas where we can improve between our two Teams. Mitigation and Re-construction. Thank you again for your honesty and valued input. All the Best, Bob Battezzato"

Cleanrite/Buildrite came on short notice, making an appt for my mountain home (16 miles out of town) to get the job done before company was coming on a 3 day holiday weekend. They arrived on time, and were pleasant and professional. They got the job done in good time, doing a GREAT JOB! He helped me move some furniture, and was great to work with! I would recommend this company in a heartbeat! I really appreciated them fitting me in and making it happen, so that I wouldn't be embarrassed when my company came. They (my company) hadn't given me notice, or I certainly would have had this done far in advance, but this really made an impression on me when they were able to do it.

Vinyl flooring needed replacement after large flood from dishwasher that soaked between floor layers to the bedroom downstairs. They were recommended by our insurance company.
"We should have this done in 2-3 weeks." Job took 3-4 months.
Rarely responded to phone calls, did not finish the job on time, became defensive when we shared concerns. You could see the nails coming out of the molding on the floor. Paint did not match, stain on wood molding was not even close. They knocked the door off the oven while performing their repairs.
My measure of quality workmanship - "Is the repair job the same or close enough to the original quality work?" Not even close. It is unprofessional to get defensive, to accuse family members for damaging their shoddy work, and to act like we are victimizing them (the contractor). It is unprofessional to demean my spouse, to shrug and yell, and to make excuses to deflect responsibility. When excuses are made, when blame is deflected to other people, it smacks of desperation.
 
It was at this point I called and complained to the manager of the company that his foreman was innappropriate(with his blaming and demeaning) with my wife. I never got a call back. No attempt to mediate, apologize or even listen. Not once. What ever happened to at least willing to hear a customer. Listening is 95% of making someone happy!!
I could have hired a handyman and the job would have been more thorough. Certainly faster, and more professional.

"Thank you for your honest and candid comments. We do appreciate all feedback from those we serve especially if the job is not completed to ones satisfaction. We have reviewed your comments internally and compared them to our job records. Unfortunately the Project Manager who was on point with your particular job is no longer with CRBR due to less then exemplary work. The General Manager and Operations Manager utilized your input at one of our weekly production meetings as an example of poor communication from a customer’s perspective, which serves as a reminder that we have to be aware of our efforts toward excellence with customers of CRBR at all times. In serving this community it is essential that we learn from customers like yourself, make it RIGHT and stand behind our reputation. A reputation that has served us and this community for over 50 years. We welcome any opportunity in the future to provide services for you and to prove the type of quality work we are capable of delivering. Thank you so much for your honest opinion and feed back. If there’s anything else we can help you with please give us a call at (800) 870-0030"

They bring in a giant vacuum and they use a rotary tool with a brush on it and it goes through and takes off the dust and dander and what not from the inside of the ducts while it vacuums at the same time. They also do carpet and upholstery. They did spot cleaning, pet stains, and they moved the smaller furniture like recliners and end tables.

basically overall it did not go well---i'm hanging here until monday i guess so i can call my insurance agent---they tell a good story--but no follow up
Response from CRBR - Cleanrite Buildrite of Chico

"We appreciate your input. After checking our operational records we did review the timing and dates of your particular job and saw that it was one which had a case of possible asbestos. Anytime asbestos is found in a home it is somewhat of a process due to the necessity of testing for it and sending it to the proper third party testers. If the process and timeliness of the testing was not communicated to you correctly we sincerely apologize for that. Having a disaster in your home is never a planned experience. And as you can image, having Asbestos in the equation can make it even more difficult. Specific regulations concerning Asbestos and being a Certified company, CRBR must then inform the Insurance Carrier as to our findings. It is for the protection of the Homeowner as well as our Employees. This process then involves a third party to “test” if the Asbestos is what we call “hot” and what process they would recommend moving forward. This takes time and can delay a job in progress but is essential to the health and safety of all involved. This is why there was a delay, gap in the timing of your claim. I apologize if that was not communicated properly to you as we instruct all of our Project Managers to communicate such issues with those involved. Again we then need to wait for proper approval from the Insurance company to proceed. On August 9th as reflected in our operations log we did complete the job and have a signed Notice of Completion/Satisfaction. We do appreciate your input from the customer point of view as it only helps to serve as a reminder to us that we need to continue to over communicate not only the CRBR process to our customers but also other processes that may affect your job. If there’s anything else we can do for you please do not hesitate to call us anytime at (800) 870-0030."

This was the worst experience in my life and it is 2012 and it is still not over. These guys will butter you up with grandiose ideas, then drop a huge pant load all over your home. I have had nothing but headaches and heartaches ever since I made the mistake of hiring these buffoons. I can not and will not ever recommend Cleanrite-Buildrite even to a sworn enemy, it would be just too cruel. Please, Please, Please do yourself a favor and run far, far away from Cleanrite-Buildrite and any other contractor that associates with them. You can thank me later.

I called for an estimate and had estimater here within an hour. When I called for appointment,very personable young lady gave me one in a week.
 
My appointment was for 11:00, two young men showed up at 10:15, and started to  work. Both were friendly and industrious. I asked them to go over a few areas again, they were very cooperative.  They finished in three hours. Overall, I was very satisfied.

One couch had been sitting in a barn and was filthy. It was a couch for my daughter from her grandmother. This company cleaned it like it was brand new. They took to their shop and totally sanitized it and cleaned it. Everything looks just like it is brand new. The couch was for my daughter and she just took it to Texas with her. I will use them again in the future.

In the process/removal they produced a heavy layer of dust material over all the furniture(fabric) in the living room and family room. They put dents and scratches all over the refrigerator(black). They did not place covering over anything until we complained about it. They damaged(gouged/scratched) the door and enter/exit ways from the kitchen to the outside of the house. They damaged(scraped) the threshold at the front door. We are still finding damage they caused and they are suspect for missing medications. We filed a complaint with Cleanrite and they came to the house and took pictures and a report which they will not resolve. Afterwards we have heard many bad reports about this company.

"[member name removed], We value your input and perception of our services. We have built a strong reputation over 50 years here in the North Valley in serving the communities. When we receive input such as this it is not taken lightly. In reviewing our operations log we do see communication between you and our Project Manager concerning the items you have stated. Even though there is resolution to each item it is evident that we did not complete this job to your satisfaction. We apologize for that as we are constantly working with our crews on how to interact and respond to our customers. Again we understand that the job was completed to the specifications by the Insurance company but some items were not completely addressed to your satisfaction. If there’s anything else we can do for you please do not hesitate to call us anytime at (800) 870-0030."
