FreshStart Restoration has been serving the Kansas City metro area since 2008. Our company started as a result of years in the maintenance and real estate industries. We saw a history of restoration companies putting the interest of the insurance companies and their large corporation above the interest of the customer/property owner. Big business is no longer about protecting and serving the customer, its about preserving their own. We have a different motto. Our company was born as a result of our commitment to serve customers with excellence and protect their interests. In a short amount of time, the greatest need of our customers became apparent. We received a continual demand for mold removal and remediation services that shocked even us. The demand far exceeded our other restoration services like water damage. Mold removal is a common need in the Kansas City are due to our high humidity levels and frequent foundation issues in the area. In addition, a common tactic of fear and manipulation is the norm in the mold industry. We have witnessed these fear tactics first hand and it has caused us great concern. As a result, at FreshStart our primary focus has been to educate our customers. Providing information and tools so each customer can make informed decisions without any pressure or manipulation is our number one priority. We understand that discovering mold can be scary and the resolution confusing. At FreshStart we are here to simplify the process and remove the worry.

Response from FreshStart Restoration
[Member name removed]'s job was quiet extensive therefore an estimate was not provided during the inspection. We did followup with [Member name removed] and provided an estimate via email on multiple occasions. During a follow up phone call we discussed with her that we had sent the email to her with multiple attempts. [Member name removed] indicated she was having problems with her email and indicated she would let us know when it was resolved to resubmit the itemized estimate. We have not heard back from [Member name removed] until the review of her feedback above. We can provide a copy of the email response showing her email was returned to us as undelivered and sent on the same day as the physical inspection was provided. We would be more than happy to provide [Member name removed] the estimate for services that we originally attempted to submit to her and have indicated to [Member name removed] we were happy to provide her the information in a timely and professional manner. We are sorry to hear [Member name removed] was unhappy with our follow through however we exhausted our efforts to get her the requested information and was waiting on communication from her to complete.

It was absolutely beautiful, wonderful. They did an excellent job. I'm going to have to remember to call them again to come out again because we've messed things up a little bit. They were very good. Of course they used some chemicals that smell a little bit but not bad and that was why we picked them. So, they wouldn't use anything really harsh. It was an excellent price.
Description of Work: They put down a little cardboard things underneath all furniture so that it didn't leave dense when they put the carpet back/the furniture back and they got out all the dirt.

The service turned out fine. There were some stains I needed them to get out and they did.
Description of Work: I purchased a deal from this company for $59 for carpet cleaning.
Description of Work: The FreshStart Team arrived on time, demonstrated good communication and willingness to address my particular concerns. Most of the work done was excellent, but a few common stains returned after the carpet dried. Perhaps another treatment was needed. They did an excellent job on the stairway carpet.
Description of Work: I couldn't believe how well they cleaned the dirtiest carpet! It looks brand new. Love this company and will definitely use them again. Thanks for the "deal".
Description of Work: Used them 2 times. Once for my upstairs, once for the downstairs. They did a good job. Had a couple stains that didn't come out and they were very prompt about coming back to give them a second go over.

We called FreshStart to come out because we had a large amount of standing water in our basement after a pipe broke. They were quick to respond and where out here in only 1 hour. When they arrived they explained the entire process to me and even called my insurance adjuster for me. The project took a total of 5 days because they had to leave drying equipment because everything was so wet. When they started working the supervisor began to inspect everything very thoroughly. In the process he discovered mold behind the sheetrock under where the pipe had broken. Evidently we had a small leak for some time. I was shocked how much mold was growing behind my walls. They explained that if they had used drying equipment on the molded areas without first doing an inspection that it could have made it spread and even become air borne. I am so glad we chose a company that knew how to handle both the mold and the flooded basement! Overall the customer service was superior and everyone within the company was great to work with! Will recommend to all of my friends!
Description of Work: Cleaned up flooded basement and removed mold.

The work met our expectations but the only thing I would say is that he is a one-man show and my feeling was that he wasn’t very comfortable talking to woman. He asked me five times when my husband was coming home, after the first time, I told him he would be home soon but after the fourth time, I was like, talk to me, I am here, and I am the one that scheduled an appointment. I don’t know if it was a male-female thing but he wasn’t very open to talking to me. He was an older man, so maybe it is a generational thing. Overall, the bottom line was he was there to do a job and he did a good job. We had to buy more carpet padding and he told us that ahead of time. We are not ultra picky so as long the job is done well, we are okay with it.
Description of Work: Our basement flooded and we used Fetz Cleaning & Restoration for water damage.
I could go on and on what this company did for us when our company's office basement flooded!!! We initially thought we only needed carpet cleaning and didn’t understand the process. All of their staff was great explaining the process to us and educating us on our options to insure we didn't have mold growth or more damage. During their cleanup of the water damage they discovered a corner of the basement with mold & were able to remove it. The equipment they used dried everything out so fast! Then after all the drywall was repaired from the mold removal they came in and cleaned the carpet after everything was done. They were also able to stretch the carpet in one office that had been wrinkled for years and took care of the fraying carpet in the doorway! They even gave us a reference to a contractor that could help fix our leak. It was so great knowing that we were using a company that could handle all the little things that were coming up from the flood and that we didn't have to spend tons of time figuring everything out! I highly recommend Fetz and will use again!!!
Description of Work: Cleaned up from flood in office basement. Removed molded drywall. Cleaned carpet & did some repairs.
