Everything above this man is fraudulent. I had to take the owner Dennis Benjamin to court, he lied about everything including claiming to have a contractor license. He uses many aliases and different DOB. He is even lied about being from Liberia but he is actually from Nigeria. He sealed his record but my lawyer was able to see another system that shows he has other cases some dealing with domestic violence and others dealing with theft , etc. The man is abrasive and comes across as trying to intimidate anyone that doesn't give into his ideology including his workers. This company needs to be shut down the owner is just criminal and taking advantage of the American system. He is the type of criminal fraudsters that covers himself well when you first begin chatting with him but he is not good at keeping up with his own lies so he tells on himself as he boasts overselling himself. If you know others that have been a victim of his fraud please encourage them to come forward.

When I first hired him, he and his associate tried to pressure me into signing a direct deposit form for the insurance company. Benjamin became increasingly agitated when I politely refused to sign it (at the advice from my insurance adjuster). It turns out, he submitted an invoice to my insurance company for work that I did not approve. I asked him to redo the invoice to reflect the work that was actually done, which he did, but he acted like he was doing me a favor in submitting an accurate invoice. Very sketchy and unprofessional. The saga continues…so my insurance company was very late with the payment, and they ended up sending the check to the wrong address twice. I offered to pay Benjamin with my credit card several times so we could both move on with our lives, but he refused to accept it and wanted to wait for $5000 cash payment. (Not accepting credit cards when you are dealing with thousands of dollars also felt sketchy and like another serious red flag that something is wrong with this company.) While the insurance was taking forever, he called me repeatedly while I was at work to yell at me. He even showed up to my house unannounced to ask for his money. When I finally received the payment from the insurance company, I paid him in full. The following day, on my wedding anniversary, while I was on my first vacation in three years…he texts me to ask me about how I’d like to resolve the “20% late fees” / “attorney charges.” Well, that about ruined my day. This man appears to be taking legal action against me to attempt to swindle $1000 from me. The other person who just posted a one star review here really helps me understand that this is a pattern of behavior and why he was so upset that I didn’t sign the direct deposit form (so he could not commit insurance fraud). If you value your time, money, and sanity, I highly recommend to avoid this company at all costs!! God Bless.
Response from Benjamin Water Damage Restoration Service-LSA
"Thank you for your review Mrs. [Member Name Removed]. However, I would like to clarify a few things. First, I NEVER asked for cash payment. I actually made a decision to request a check based on months of calling you to collect payment. After seeing a pattern of ignored calls, your adjuster suggested the Direction to Pay form to avoid further delays with my payment. Your adjuster also verified each check was mailed to your address duringour conference call. My concern is your claim that you did not receive the check contradicted what your adjuster stated regarding confirmation of your address. In terms of the late fees, we gave numerous courtesy extensions as well as attempted to reach you by phone. We also gave sufficient warning that late fees would be charged if we did not receive a response from you. It wasn't until several months later when my attorney sent you a letter on 10/19/2021 that you finally returned my calls and offered payment in three Zelle installments. You set an appointment for me to come to your home and pick up a check but when I arrived, you were profusely apologetic and advised you did not have anymore checks. Hence, we settled on the three installment plan. As far as your initial invoice, the only reason we revised the invoice is because the guest bedroom was later determined the carpet would not be replaced by my company. Aside from that, the antimicrobial spray and deodorizer is commercial grade and the same as used in hospitals and schools. So it is utterly mind blowing that you feel the back up of sewage odor smelled better than our commercial grade antimicrobial spray. Thank you again for sharing your concerns."

Benjamin Restoration should be avoided at all costs. They operate fraudulently. I paid them in full for work performed, and provided them with a claim number for insurance in case additional work ended up being needed. They instead decided to file a claim for the work already paid for (insurance fraud) and when I decided to withdraw the claim because the damage was not as bad, tried to come after me for more money. They are lying, and working with Benjamin himself is very challenging as he is a rude and disrespectful man. Save your time, money and sanity and do not give them any business.

"The job we did was valued at $2,425.16. You paid me $1450,00. Your remaining balance is $ 975. Your adjuster mailed me a check after reviewing the photos which were consistent with the invoice. You decided to withdraw your insurance claim. Hence, I sent you the bill for the remaining balance. You wrote a review because my attorney sent you a notice for the remaining balance. To date, you're still owing me $975."
