A week latter they started work on the windows. Given a poor design feature when the house was restored there was water damage in several windows which required work both inside and outside the house. On this project Charlie was in email contact with me on a daily basis. His crew leader, Rigo, was terrific. There was a lot of inside sanding and patching required in the formal part of the house and at the end of the project no one would have know of the repairs because there was no evidence of what went on. I should add, the lack of any mess was also evident in the ceiling repair. Plus the window work was also very well done. I have used many of the providers listed on Angie's List. For the most part they do a good job. When someone does an exceptional job I think it is worth my time to write a review and let people know. Piedmont is a firm I highly recommend.

Chris was quick to my request for service. He replaced electrical outlets for an outdoor fountain, and what he did will prevent those outlets from being damaged by water. He was pleasant, and friendly. His prices were reasonable.

Plumber damaged stairs when removing old water heater. Took office 2 weeks to address the issue after numerous contact. Finally sent technician out to somewhat repair the damage, but felt nothing would have been done had I not pressed the issue.

"We first hired Kyles firm when they were just starting out... he did a really nice job on a relatively small (under a $100k) renovation project. A couple years later we contacted him again to perform another, much bigger renovation project. We hired him mainly because we were fairly certain that he would not walk out on us, and trusted he would resolve any issues. We love our house! We have recommended them and will continue to do so!"

"Aaron and his co-worker arrived at the specified time, both very polite and got right to work. I was told attic work would take about 2 hours, and was spot on. The outside work about 3+hours, again the correct estimate. All work on the original itemized proposal was done, and was shown one of the difficult repair and explained, the only reason I noticed this repair is that I did not have touch-up paint, which they offered to do had I had some, my loss.
Total experience was outstanding and they said they would follow-up in a year with my automatic 2year warranty.
The office followed up to ask if all work done and if satisfied with the service.
I will be calling them again for work on a rental I own. "

FAQs for water and smoke damage repair projects in Santa Barbara, CA
The three methods or phases of water damage remediation are mitigation, remediation, and restoration. Mitigation is an emergency response that can include shutting off your water main or patching a hole in your roof from a fallen tree limb. Remediation includes drying the affected area, removing damaged materials, and dealing with any resulting mold growth. Restoration includes the build-back required to return your property to its previous condition. All three methods should be a part of any water damage remediation plan.
When hiring a water damage restoration company, you should confirm that the remediation plan includes fixing the underlying problem, dealing with resulting mold growth or rotted materials, and any making any build-back necessary to restore your property to its previous condition. Each phase of the remediation plan should include specific testing and inspection details to ensure the work is done properly and in a way that doesn’t prevent the restoration cost from being denied by your insurance provider.
If you find evidence of water damage in your home, your best option is to call a local water damage restoration company immediately. You could call a plumber first if you know that the issue is stemming from a plumbing pipe, but in many cases, a company that specifically handles water damage will be able to find the source of the damage and recommend a specific repair. Water damage restoration pros will also be able to develop a plan to remove any damaged material and restore your home to its previous condition.
When you find water damage, your first order of business is to keep everyone on the property safe, so if you have standing water, evacuate if it’s safe. If possible, find the source of the water and stop it, which could mean shutting your water main to prevent pipe leaks. Next, you should notify your insurance company and immediately call a water damage restoration professional. They will work with you and your insurance company to create a solution to fix the issue and file an insurance claim for the cost of the damage.
The average water damage restoration cost is around $3,500, but it’s not uncommon to see prices fall between $450 and $15,000. Your project cost will depend on the extent of the damage, the source of the water, whether or not mold has grown in the affected area from the moisture, and the emergency level of your water problem. Keep in mind that your insurance company may cover some or all of your restoration expenses if your homeowner’s insurance policy covers the specific issue.
