"Cornwell's Wildlife Control were extremely prompt in showing up to assess my house and they did a terrific job screening all my gable vents and blocking areas where the trim on my siding would permit rodents to gain entry into the house. They were always on time and the owner gave me a very fair price for the work. He even helped me get my 2nd floor window shutters down so I could paint them while he worked on the house and then he reinstalled them for me at no additional cost, even returning to put up one set that needed an extra day to dry. I can't say enough about how professional he was and how knowledgeable about the habits of animal pests that might cause damage to a home. I highly recommend their services to anyone!"

"The laziness, inconsiderateness, and sheer incompetence of Servpro of Portsmouth was so astounding that I feel obliged to share our experience. My wife and I had severe water damage to our home after a pipe burst, requiring an extensive remodel. I will caveat this review by saying that Servpro’s damage mitigation crew was timely and effective. We thought this professionalism would carry over to their restoration division. We could not have been more wrong. • Terrible planning and management of subcontractors. Servpro repeatedly demonstrated that their management skills were worse than a four year old with a clipboard. Examples include: o It became expected that the first iteration of their materials order would be incorrect. They ordered custom cabinets that did not fit our kitchen (which they had every opportunity to accurately measure). This required multiple re-orders, extending our timeline by months. o They installed the kitchen backsplash prematurely. This caused issues with re-installing our bar countertop, requiring a total re-work of the bar and backsplash. Again, grossly extending the timeline. o They ran out of flooring material and took weeks to re-order new flooring. You would think that with a measuring tape and notepad, they could avoid this issue. Again, we were fascinated by Servpro’s ability to extend their timeline at every opportunity. o Servpro allowed their subcontractors to treat our home like a frat house. We repeatedly found cigarette butts inside, drinks missing from our fridge, and unflushed turds in our toilet. These problems persisted, even after we brought them up to the project manager. • Abysmal communication. o Our project manager consistently no-showed to prior-arranged meetings without even the courtesy of a phone call. Subcontractors consistently failed to arrive for days in a row, extending jobs that would have taken a few days to weeks or months. • Timelines not met. o Our initial project manager quoted 6-8 weeks for the rebuild job. Here I am, 8 months later, writing this review as our job just concluded (incomplete at that). o My wife and I ended up doing a significant amount of the work that Servpro assured us that they would complete. Some examples include:  Moving our furniture into storage.  Cleaning up the drywall, insulation, and other mess left by the initial water damage.  Taking material trash and destroyed furniture to the dump.  Re-installing misaligned trim.  Re-installing misaligned cabinet doors and pulls. • Shoddy workmanship. If Servpro advertises themselves as remodel professionals, I can assure you firsthand that this could not be further from the truth. Examples of their inability to correctly complete even the most basic construction tasks include: o Baseboards poorly joined when one piece should have been used. Even after their third try, they still got it wrong. o Nicked, scratched, dented, paint splattered, and otherwise damaged furniture, requiring that we hire an outside professional. o Broke our granite countertop after they removed it from the kitchen. o Gouged new flooring just days after it was installed. o Cabinet doors not level, and cabinet pulls visibly misaligned. It appears that they hung cabinets and installed the doors and pulls without taking a single measurement. Which brings me to my next point… o Did not erase pencil marks on cabinets. This one impressed me, since it was evidence that they at least attempted to correctly line up and level cabinet pulls. The untrained human eye quickly revealed that these marks were, indeed, misaligned. We had them re-order new cabinet doors so that I could correctly install them. After 7 months of dealing with these folks, we called it quits and negotiated a bill that subtracted from our initial itemized quite any work that was not done, done incorrectly (requiring that we redo it), or done by us as the customer. If you are considering hiring Servpro for your remodel, I suggest that you try a class of middle schoolers instead – you’ll probably have better luck."
