I had nothing but problems from this company; dealing with them was a 6 week nightmare. Let me paint you a picture really quick. About 14 months before my interactions with this company I spent close to 40k remodeling my kitchen. Fast forward those 14 months and I discovered I had a leak in my (brand new) kitchen. My insurance company sent ServiceMaster by Desert Dry to pull out my cabinets and walls and quarantine the area.
When I got home and realized they put my brand new, very expensive, clearly custom built WHITE cabinets outside on my back porch with ZERO protection. This in Arizona, in monsoon season, in an unfinished back yard (think dirt people, lots of dirt) and they put WHITE cabinets outside.
This has the effect of staining my white cabinets with brown. Then I notice that on 3 of the reusable cabinet doors and the faux face plate that goes underneath the sink, had gauges in them. These are not small gauges that are just a ding here or there, no they're extremely large and noticeable. And if that isn't the worst part, I notice that there is also a portion of my (again, custom built) bench seating that spans the opposite wall of the kitchen, right next to my back door. Clearly they were careless and drop something on it to damage it.
As its late Friday afternoon by the time I get home, I wait until Monday to call to discuss the damage that was done to my cabinets and bench. I speak to Hector initially who wants to see the damage, to which I agree. Then on Wednesday Hector calls and says they'll be there in 45 minutes to remove the quarantine and take pictures of the damage. I told him that he was more than welcome but without me being there I didn't know if he would see all the damage. He said ok, just send me photos later and he left a card which had his number as well as a generic office email. I called Hector twice that week and left messages and never heard back, so on Sept 5 at 2:05 pm, I emailed photos of the damage to the info@ email address. At 2:11 pm, Chelsea responded that she was forwarding it on to Chris, Hector, Ashley, and Sandi (the mitigation side she said). On Sept 10 after no response, I again ask for an update with everyone cc'd. Chelsea again responds that she forwarded my email. On Sept 17 after no response I again send another email, this time with a quote I received from my cabinet maker for the damage. Chelsea responds immediately and tells me that they want to send someone to look at my cabinets. I tell her he can come Wed or Thur afternoon but I am 100% certain my cabinet maker will have to handle it because it is a completely custom job.
The guy she sends shows up on Sept 25th, spends less than 5 minutes in my house and agrees that my cabinet maker will have to handle this. On Sept 26th, I send yet another email asking if we can now proceed with my guy fixing the issue because her guy cannot. Again, no response. On Sept 27th I receive an updated invoice so I forwarded that on. Again, no response. On October 1st I call my insurance adjuster(who sent this company to me) and ask for help. He proceeds to immediately email everyone that I have been emailing with and within a short time I get a phone call from one of the owners. He is upset at the cost to repair everything and is borderline rude and accusatory. He requests more pictures and information about the cost which I provide and even put him in contact directly with my cabinet maker. After another day or two of going back and forth, I get my husband involved. In the end, the did pay for the damage they caused, but the headache of having to deal with them makes me seriously mistrust them and I would NEVER recommend them to anyone.
Unfortunately I had to shorten some of the details because Google character limit but lets just say dealing with them was a nightmare.
