  The fire happened 12/25/23. This is 5/30/24. My house has heavy smoke and minimum fire damage. It has been over 5 months we have been out of our home. Paul Davis Restoration has been very slow to complete the repairs. The workers are fine when they show up to do the work. I wish I had counted the days that no one has worked on the damages. I would not recommend this company to anyone. They have too many jobs and don't complete when they should by using excuses of how many jobs they have and not enough workers. ******* ****** sent them and how I wish I had turned them away and hired someone else.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: 

  My job is supposed to be completed June 28,2024.   No one has been here to do anything for 11 days.  I told the construction manager the linoleum I wanted at least a month ago.  Painting of shelves walls and doors and touch ups are still not completed.  
  This fire damage is not completed. I am not satisfied 

  
  Sincerely,

  We had water damage to our home due to a bad install of a refrigerator. After contacting our insurance company we were given Paul David Restoration to use as their preferred contractor. We immediately called. The first initial contact was great, they were nice on the phone and in a day or so someone was out to look at our damage. They left and we thought “great, this could be fixed quick”. This was the LAST time we ever heard from anyone from Paul Davis Restoration. We were completely ghosted by this company. They turned in a botched insurance claim, which our insurance started the process to “pre pay” them because they are a preferred contractor. We called almost daily to see what was going on and where we stand. Each day we were told by the very nice lady on the phone that someone would return our call in 24 hours. NEVER HAPPENED! This same song and dance every day for two months while water was in our floors. At this point we finally said enough is enough and called a new contractor to come out. After deep diving into our water damaged home they found black mold to be all over my kitchen, living room, sub floor and insulation. Paul David left us in an absolute mess! Each day when we would call to check in we were told how short staffed they were because someone got fired. First off, completely unprofessional that a customer be told this. After 2 months of fighting for a call back, email communication, anything we were told another 8 weeks before repairs could happen. Customers beware of this company. If they would have kept their promise like a real restoration company my home would have not been completely gutted. We started our claim with them at the end of May, it’s now September and we have been living in alternative living arrangements for 3 weeks while the new (very good) contractors fix our home. Never once was anyone apologetic or empathetic to our situation. This is a terrible business and I would not recommend them to anyone.

  More info

  On May 26, 2023 I contacted Paula Davis due to a pipe bursting and flooding my downstairs. They came out and pulled out the flooring in several rooms. Fans and dehumidifiers were also placed. I figured they knew what they were doing even though they had left flooring that had obviously gotten wet. After a few weeks I attempted to contact the reconstruction team to ask questions about cost of flooring and items on the estimate. No one was ever willing to respond. I went to the office and waited to talk to someone in person. I got some questions answered, but not how much I could spend on flooring. Since the pipe busting was from another company, they paid the estimate out of pocket. Once I had a check, I again contacted Paul Davis and then was finally told I could spend $2 per sqft on flooring based on the estimate. That wouldn't even get me what I had before. I questioned what I could get for that and again got no responses. I finally went and got other estimates and to keep from asking the other company to pay more. I have had to do most things myself such as ripping out the rest of the flooring that was left, disposing of the floor, and painting the wall. Once we started to rip out the left flooring, we found lots of mold on it. I had to pay to spray the house where the mold was. I contacted Paul Davis and only got an apology. No payment for the mold treatment. I would like them to pay me back for the mold treatment, the disposal of the floor that should have been taken up, and all the stress I have had to deal with because they can't communicate. A business should not ignore customers.
