Get matched with top dry rot, water or pest damage major repairers in East Brookfield, MA

"We had contacted Anthony to try and solve an issue of getting water in our basement during heavy rainstorms.  Anthony was extremely quick to respond to all emails and made time to come out to our home not only once for an initial consultation and quote, but again a second time to do a final run through with both my husband and I.   He was extremely knowledgable about the work that needed to be done and seemed 100% confident in his proposed solution.  I was impressed with how quickly he was able to identify what was wrong and he took the time to clearly explain it to us.  He was also willing to discuss price and tried to really work with us.  Unfortunately, I am expecting our second child any day now and, after receiving the final walk through, we had some complications that forced us to rethink our immediate financial needs. We are frustrated with the timing but had to put priorities in order.  We were extremely impressed with Anthony's professional attitude and wonderful customer service and are hoping to hire him to do the job later in the year!

"My experience with ServPro was terrific.  They were quick to get a crew out to my home on the same day the plumbing leak was repaired.  The crew pulled back the wet carpet, opened up the wall, and evaluated the situation before removing only the material that had to be taken.  They sprayed the affected area with cleaner, scrubbed everything that remained to get rid of the mold, and left blowers behind to help dry everything out.  When the main dehumidifier began leaking after one day, they promptly came out and swapped in a different one to finish the job.  Aside from a little confusion about their bill - my insurance company insisted on a direct bill while ServPro typically bills the homeowner - I was very pleased with how the entire process went.

"The estimate & follow through to the start of the job was honest, fair price & fast. In fact, we were told we did not need to replace The front half of the roof! We also had some water damage in the sun roof which they easily fixed. The crew was professional, courteous and responsive to our adjustments. Clean up was superb! We highly recommend Brodowski."

"Feb. snow and rainstorms caused a large ice dam to form on our North side roof, and we had water damage in both the master bathroom and the family room.
Both ceilings had water stains--and both were cathedral ceilngs--high and difficult to reach.  We also had some cracked plaster in the corner of the family room from settling,  as well as one corner in the kitchen. The very top of the ceiling in the master bath had some loosening of the drywall tape and "mud", and since we were at it, I asked them to include this, as well as a cleaning and replacement of light bulbs in the kitchen fan--again, too high for us to get to.  Inspection of the bathroom water stain proved to be not from the ice dam, but a problem with the installation of the bathroom fan and light by the original owners--use of too small a unit and no insulation, causing lots of condensation which leaked down and stained the ceiling.  Both rooms would need repainting of the ceilings and the family room needed a total repaint.  Touch-up of the bathroom wall where some nails had popped and needed recovering would be enough. They matched our 9 year old paint perfectly.
The men arrived punctually each of the three days it required.  They moved and/or covered furnishings and carpeting both in the rooms and in the hallways to protect  them and were very careful to keep dust and dirt to a minimum, and cleaned everything up each night so we could resume normal  living.  They did a great job with everything, and installed a new fan unit of the correct size in the bathroom--cleaned up my kitchen ceiling, and made the fan/light unit look like new. The men were courteous and good at their jobs and did everything we had asked.
Our house looks great again, and we are very satisfied with the company, their estimator Phil; Joe, their supervisor, and his crew.
We'd hire them again in a heartbeat!

"They did a great job, They cleaned up themselves. I have no complaints. They were very good."

"We wanted three rooms painted, walls, trim and ceiling, and some cracks and holes repaired.

On the first day, Mr Dioclecio Gomes brought over Osvaldo and Eddie, two brothers who were going to do the painting.

Eddie and Osvaldo were talkative and friendly. They took a few minutes to look at the job, we pointed out some cracks in the 100 year old plaster walls that we wanted repaired and discussed other small details about the work. They also asked some "get to know you" questions and then got to work bringing in their equipment.

The first thing they did was block off the rooms they were going to work in with sheets of plastic, and roll out a protective paper covering for the floor.

We were in an adjoining room doing other things and heard them talking on the phone to their friends as they worked. I checked up on them occasionally and they were making good progress, so I concluded that they could do a good job while chatting with friends and family. At lunch, they very politely asked if they could heat their lunch in our microwave oven. Even though we granted them full access to everything, every day they still asked if it was okay.

We have had painters in our house before. But never before have we seen painters to as thorough a job of preparing the walls before they started rolling on the colors. These guys found cracks we didn't know existed. They excavated each, digging little v-shaped channels in the plaster following the course of the crack. These are real lath and plaster walls, not drywall, and this was the first time we had seen painters treat them properly - others had just slapped on drywall joint tape and mudded the joint, which came apart again in a year or two.

Their next step was to plaster up the cracks. After this dried, they scraped and sanded the walls flat. Then they applied a skim coat over everything and sanded that down. This whole preparation process took three days.

By the end of the third day, they had a coat of primer on everything. The following day, they sprayed all the woodwork with semi-gloss and got the first coat of the wall colors up. On the last day, they finished everything up.

At the end, they had us walk around and inspect the work. There were a few touchup requirements here and there which they took care of. One more walk through and this time it was perfect.

We expected to end up with our 100 year old walls with yet another coat of paint. What we got was a true restoration job with the walls returned to their original perfect condition.

Dioclecio visited every day, checking with his guys that everything was going as planned, and checking in with us to make sure we were happy with the progress. 

Osvaldo and Eddie are really nice guys and we were happy to have them in our house. We have some more work for Mr Gomes Remodeling later this year and are looking forward to having his talented, friendly team back in our home.

"The initial visit was on schedule and completed in a shorter time than I expected.  However, the $69 price (while advertised to only cover a certain number of vents and returns with additional charges) went to $810.  I was also offered an additional product which I felt was worth it (the UV light) at an additional cost so the complete total was $1309.  This was MUCH more than I anticipated and when I pressed, the price dropped to $699 which I thought was a great deal since the work also came with a warranty of a flat fee the next time they came back for maintenance in 2 years and was transferable to the next owner if I ever sold the house.  So we went ahead and I was very pleased.  At the end of the work, I was told that they liked to come back and check on things after a week and I was going to be home so it worked out well.  I never got that call for the follow up.  What I did get was a phone call telling me that the part they had ordered had taken longer to come in than originally anticipated and it was now available for installation.  WHAT? "So, you're telling me that a product I paid for and thought was installed a week ago was never installed?" This was the first hurdle.  So I set up an appointment for their return and went to look around my basement for evidence of work that had not been completed or openings on my furnace.  What I found was that a sweatshirt had been left behind and there were big chunks of metal on the floor. 
When the second team came to install the UV light, I followed them to the basement to make sure what I paid for was installed.  Comments were made that I had one of the cleanest basements that had been seen and he was looking around my basement, honestly, in a way that made me feel like he was casing the house to get back in later.
Once the work began I returned upstairs.  I was then informed that the part that had been ordered was incorrect and they had to run out to a local store to get the correct one. (Why this was not done on the original visit, I will never know) They returned to say that since it was a holiday (Martin Luther King Jr Day) the store was closed and they would have to come back again.  (Really? you didn't call before you drove there?)
We once again rescheduled for a Saturday since I was not taking any more time off work and they came and installed the missing part.
I raised my service concerns through Angie's List email and my chagrin that they were now offering the same deal but for $169 and unlimited ducts and was provided with a callback from their dispatcher that indicated "offers cannot be combined" which I understand but my bigger issue was with the level of service (and I use that word loosely).  She said that she would see what she could do and I have never heard back.
I gave management a chance to speak with me about this situation before I posted an honest review and they have never contacted me.  It makes me wonder if my service contract will even be honored.
So my advice would be if you contract them, make sure you know exactly what you are getting, how much it will cost, watch to ensure that it is actually completed and if you don't like the price...just ask for something else.  I was willing to pay much more than they offered but it's interesting that my hesitation dropped the price almost in half.
