Excellent organization, had a water leak which lead to a mold issue. They project managed from beginning to end always knew what was happening and when. They were on time everyday. Heard or saw project manager all the time updates and status . Could not have been more happy and impressed with their work. I know I am going to miss a few names but job well done Scot , Maria, and John.

During recent hurricane we had a tree fall on ourhour and lodge in the roof. Water was pouring into the kitchen and laundry room. We were out of town but insurance was called followed by call to Vigilant Restoration. Fred and his crew were on
scene within driving time from their office and tarpped the ceiling from inside and removed damage drywall, cabinets, and flooring because the tree could not be removed without a crane..done one week later. Yesterday Maria and Kenny came and packed contents of affected area into a storage pod allowing repairs to begin. All people including Sherry in the office

Jeremy and Maria did a
Phenomenal job with a water cleanup. They were professional, knowledgeable, and personable. They responded immediately (same day). I never had any water damage before and they walked me though the process answering all of my questions. I continue to be impressed at the efficiency of this cleanup process. They have been so kind during a difficult time and that means so much because this whole thing was been overwhelming for me.
