Servpro

I will start off by saying that I am always fair in my reviews, and don't just leave negative or positive reviews. Our experience with ServPro's FIRE RESTORATION SERVICES definitely needs to be shared. We had a fire at our house, and the first step was to hire a restoration/cleaning company like Servpro. About 20 people left their card at my house after the fire, and after meeting with salesperson Felix, we were sold. I can't even blame this on the salesman, because he was nice, understanding, explained in detail what was going to happen, etc. The problem is clearly upper management. I was told that the fire damage would be remediated, unsalvageable goods would be documented in detail, all surfaces would be cleaned and encapsulated, etc. What did I get? Well, first, that "inventory" was basically a bunch of low quality photos of stuff thrown on my deck. All surfaces "cleaned" meant leaving my refrigerator smelling like rotten food, dirty floors, etc. Remediation fire damage meant putting 3 holes in my ceiling from removing insulation in the attic (5' clearance). Mark, the supervisor, sounded like he was doing the best he can, but when I ask about coming back to clean the fridge he needs to "check with management". I never got a call back. During the job I was told things like "this is taking too long", which is probably why the "detailed inventory" was a multi page pdf of illegible content. Moral of this story - there are many other options of restoration services out there, please pass on Servpro and save yourself the stress through an already stressful disaster. Now, if you decide to pass on my suggestion, then ABSOLUTELY take this next one. When they offer you their Reconstruction services, YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED! I made the mistake of entertaining this idea, as it seemed convenient. I liked the idea they would be familiar and they told me they would do a free estimate since i was already working with servpro. Same company right? WRONG. You know, one of these other fire restoration contractors made a good point to me. He was a contractor, servpro is restoration. He said he wouldn't go into restoration just because he's already doing construction because he already has his specialty. Well, servpro has gone into construction to just grab a larger share of this market (this market being helping with people's disasters). Bottom line, after evaluating my negative experience with the restoration among other areas within the estimate, I couldn't bring myself to work with this company. Then when it came down to part ways and I am citing all the promises that were not fultilled, then (and I quote) "the restoration division is completely separate from reconstruction" and now "I never told you I would give you a free estimate" (cue recorded phone call) and also my negative experience is "the cost of doing business". This is likely the longest review I have ever written, and rightfully so because you as a prospective customer deserve to be navigated properly as I wish I was. In the end, hard pass.

Imagine waking up one morning to your home on fire? Scared is an understatement. All my belonging were effected from fire and water damage. Thanks to SERVPRO of New Brunswick my nightmare had a happy ending. Tom was beyond helpful, came in and took over leaving me nothing to worry about by cleaning and sterilizing what was left to salvage and working with the insurance company directly to help me claim what was unrepeatable. Thanks Servpro I will forever be greatful for all your help and support during a time like this! I hope I never need to use your service again and I for sure will refer you to those who do......
