Report
After coming home one day, we discovered the ceiling in my office lying on the floor due to an unknown leak in the roof. Full of stress, we called Birchall Restoration and he was over that same afternoon to assess the damage, making us all feel a lot better. He had it fully rebuilt in a few days and knew how to manage the insurance claims taking a lot of pressure off of us.
Later, we decided to add carpet to our bedrooms and was surprised to learn that Birchall Restoration could help there as well.
The owner, Will, came over the night before his own vacation to help me move the furniture prior to the carpet installer coming. He came back the same day that he returned from vacation to help me move everything back and check up on the work. Professional, courteous, and prompt, we will definitely be using them again.

I have to send a big thank you to Will Birchall and his team at Birchall Restoration. Will and his team are always there when our policyholders need them. No matter what time we call, night or day, weekends and holidays, whether it is a flooded kitchen, a roof that leaked during a storm or putting things back together after a wildfire, Will is always quick, thorough, courteous and organized when helping our clients get back to normal.

Our realtor hooked us up with Birchall Restoration, to inspect some mold on a home we were considering purchasing. The owner, Will, tested it, and once escrow was closed, he removed mold in the attic on the support beams and in the garage. Will was responsive, started right away, and had good follow-up. He did a thorough job, including cleaning up afterwards. We were so pleased with the work and his responsiveness, that when a plumber couldn't find the leak in the kitchen sink area, we called Birchall Restoration.
We knew from our previous experience with Will, that he wasn't afraid to jump right in and investigate the situation thoroughly. Will responded right away and found the leak quickly. We needed the leak stopped and the new water damage repaired under the sink (damage to the melamine and drywall under the sink). Throughout the whole repair process he gave us options and kept us informed. At the point we realized that the subtop was damaged and wouldn't dry, Will worked with us to demo the old countertops and prep the kitchen for new counter installation. He worked with us on the price (very fair). We recommend Birchall restoration for any mold or water remediation, demolition and repair work. We are very pleased with the work!

Will and his team have been a complete blessing to us in a scary time of mess! They showed up immediately, communicated with us throughout the process, followed through on all they said they would do and were amazing advocates for us with the insurance company. We truly felt like they had our back!

Birchall Restoration recently upgraded the flooring throughout the entire first floor of our home. We had a mix of tile and carpet and explained that we wanted an upgrade and the look of hardwood. Will with Birchall Restoration provided us with free estimate and recommended Luxury Vinyl Planking. His written estimate was sent quickly and was clear & detailed. We are thrilled with the result--it is exactly what we wanted.
The entire process was smooth and stress-free. Will clearly communicated a time frame for the job and when all monies would be due. He and his team arrived on time each day and were all extremely friendly and well-mannered. They moved all of our furniture when required and we were able to occupy our home comfortably during the entire process (took approximately 7 days). They cleaned everything completely when they were done so that my house was immaculate. I will definitely use Birchall Restoration for all of my home contracting needs going forward.

We were in the process of moving and when the movers removed furniture and area rugs, we saw how dirty the travertine floors and carpet were. I know that we were going to need carpet cleaning, but I could not believe how the travertine darkened over time until I saw what it was underneath the rug. I called in a jam because I needed the floors cleaned immediately so that we could close the sale of the house without making the new owners upset.
They came out, gave a reasonable bid, and were there the following day. They did an amazing job and the floors looked as if they were brand new. I couldn't be happier with their professionalism and the results.

It was 7:00 am when i heard the water running in the upstairs bathroom. Sure enough a hose broke at the bottom of the toilet. at 7:00 a.m. I called Birchall Resroration and within 1/2 hour 2 trucks pulled up and immediately starting cleaning up our 3 rooms of water. They then preceded to do an awesome job of cleaning up our mess. Will, the owned showed up every time with his crew, was always on time and kept us informed daily of the progress.
When everything was ready to be repaired, we chose Will to do our repairs. Once again they were always on time, returned out phone calls quickly and did a great job of getting our house repaired and back in order I would highly recommend Birchall Restoration for all of your repair needs
