The two men that handled our claim no longer work for Laurens. I was really disappointed in the lack of communication from the estimator/project manager and his attitude of "that's just the way it's done" when comparing line items to real-world values. As this was an insurance claim, I was closely monitoring the work performed vs. what was being billed. There were discrepancies in their favor, and I needed to go line-by-line to ensure that monies paid out were being put towards services rendered. In the end, I made their jobs difficult, but I felt the work performed was satisfactory, but not outstanding. The other half of their services required packing out, storage, and return of our furniture and items. The pack-out and storage crew was 5 stars.

Very well done! Mold is not something to mess with and thanks to Laurens we are in good shape.
Description of Work: Basement flooded so they removed drywall and insulation as well as baseboard. Work was done carefully with minimal mess. They then placed dehumidifiers to dry everything out. When they discovered mold behind the cabinet, they carefully moved the cabinet and cut the drywall up higher.

Gary Jones from the company was our project manager. He was great. He has a good team. The work involved mold remediation in a room addition room that has a crawl space only 18 inches deep;? so they had to rip up the floor in order for them to work and for a water-proofing company to do their work. All the workers were customer friendly and polite. They sealed off the room with zipper doors to lessen the amount of smell and dust in the rest of the house. Gary had good ideas to solve other problems that we had in the laundry area of that room. He had good contacts for laying tile, carpeting and painting after they replaced the floor. He did not try to sell us mold remediation in our attic right away. He was honest and said that we could wait until we have roofing work done in the future to take care of an area of mold in our attic. The only negative was that the other team involved in moving the furniture into our garage also moved the clothes washer there. Gary noticed that and moved it into our family room so the pipes wouldn't freeze.

I had a great customer service experience and also quality of work is really good. The owner is extremely responsive and even responded to my message from vacation in Mexico. I only thought that the job was over priced, the bill was twice as much as i was expecting ti pay. But other than that the job was done with complete care and I am very happy to have hired them.

Description of Work: Cleaned house and contents after a minor fire in our house. Absolutely satisfied with all aspects of their service - they were prompt, professional, courteous and caring in dealing with our little disaster. Insurance company paid the cost so cannot comment on whether or not their prices are good/bad/etc. What I do know is insurance company approved all claims for their services.

We absolutely couldn't have gotten through this nightmare without Lauren's Restoration, and we thank our lucky stars that State Farm introduced them to us. I had the opportunity to visit their huge, incredible plant in Glenview, which is a state of the art cleaning, smoke ionization, and storage facility. This is a class act business!
Description of Work: We had a fire that totaled our house. We first met Lauren's Restoration when State Farm brought them in to pump out our basement and to salvage any personal property that might have survived. Their employees are excellent at doing their jobs, and at negotiating maximum rebuilding dollars with insurance companies!

I woke up to a foot of water in my basement. After calling my insurance company, I immediately called Lauren's to come and remove the water, mud, and garbage from the flood. I have used them in the past, and was happy with their service. This time, they told me they would call me back to schedule a time. I called them back 4 hours later to see when they would be coming and was told the earliest they could come was in 2 days. I am so angry I could spit. If they were so busy, they should have told me right away so I could call other companies. Now I'm 4 hours later in line to get someone out here and my stuff is 4 hours wetter and moldier. The girl who answered my call was very polite, but offered no solution. I will never use them again, and suggest that you seek other companies to do this work for you. You will be much happier.
Description of Work: They did not perform any services. They did not come to perform any services.

They did a very poor job. The ceiling was done well. The walls were ok after I made several suggestions. They started with the wrong paint. They never evened out the floor before they started, so it was not smooth at all. Their suggestion was to pull up part of the floor and glue it down. So now there are huge gaps in the floor during the winter time when it is cold, and it retracts.
Description of Work: They painted my apartment, replaced the ceiling and the flooring.

It was an unbelievably unpleasant experience, both with the dangerous and irresponsible driver and the absolutely deplorable "customer service."
Description of Work: I am not a customer of Lauren's Restoration, and after interacting with them today I know I will never seek their services. One of their service vehicles (a white Ford Fusion, License plate IT TECH 2) blew through a Stop Sign at an intersection right near their offices. This driver nearly missed my car, but was unapologetic and wholly unaware of her actions. When I pulled up to the driver, she was texting with not one, but BOTH hands, all while driving. I dialed the number on the back of the car to report the unsafe and irresponsible driving and the response I received was, "Okay, thank you, have a good day." This company exhibited zero professionalism and absolutely no regard for customer service. No attempts were made to better the situation, so it's very hard to believe that a company dedicated to restoring property hires drivers that have the capacity to damage vehicles and injure people.

They were recommended to us. My experience with them was not good. They were unprofessional at times. They damaged some of our things while moving them that were perfectly fine before. We re now having problems trying to get reimbursed for these damages. They also charge very high for storing the items while they restore them, about $800 a month.
Description of Work: They are a restoration company that we used after we had a fire. They also move and store as part of their services.

Their response time was very good, but the communication between their employees needs to be much better. They were suppose to completely clean-up but they didn't do a thorough job on the floor. They did mop but there is still dust sediment on the floor from the drywall.
Description of Work: I had a flood in my basement and they cleaned up the mess - water mitigation needs. They removed drywall and pulled up tile.
