Get matched with top dry rot, water or pest damage major repairers in Independence, MO

"From start to finish everything went seamless with Owner, Craig Anderson and his crew at Residential Solutions. Craig did a thorough inspection of our house and found areas of wood rot that would need repair. He provided a favorable estimate at our first meeting. His crew completed the job in 2 days and Craig followed up and made sure any touch ups were corrected. We are 100% satisfied!"

"The process started immediately. They came right away. They tested the surrounding areas for water and found reasonable amounts under the kitchen sink and little to no water in the basement. They set up a dehumidifier under the sink for one night, cut a hole in the bottom of the sink cabinet, and continued for two more nights. They then decreed that the sink area was good and wanted to proceed with plans that would cut a large hole in the basement to test for further water damage. We said no. Other than asking to sign an unexplained form that just highlighted the signature part and not the contents of the contract, there was no written explanation of plans, steps, and pricing. I felt like I was in a hospital where you were asked to take action in of emergency with no specific indication of cost. When I stopped the process to share concerns about cost, I was told it was too late for insurance to cover it, and that they had a 5-star rating. They gave me a verbal estimate of 1,500-5k."

"Advanta set an appointment for someone to inspect. Their project manager Brandon Cook arrived promptly on time and made a careful inspection of the garage area and subsequently my basement where I had had a sump pump malfunction and substantial rainwater backup months before. In each case, he dismissed the concern of mold and explained areas where mold might develop and explanations as to what had probably caused the areas of concern. He was very professional, and helpful and reassuring with clear explanations. AdvantaClean did not charge for this inspection. I would definitely hire them if the need arose."

"They were able to do the very specialized repair that needed to be done to my steel plate that none of the other companies would even really give me a safe bid on. I would absolutely use their services again in the future if I need to."

"Foundation 1 replaced our 28-year-old sump pump. They worked efficiently and did a quality job. They were diligent in protecting our hardwood floor and carpet, and they did a thorough job cleaning up when finished. Our only difficulty was they left the outside water on after mixing the cement, which caused the outside faucet to rupture. However, Foundation 1 addressed our issue and Matt did an excellent job in replacing the faucet. All in all, we are happy with Foundation 1."

"Dry Kansas City North was recommended to us by a plumber we had out after our basement flooded. A phone call was made and they showed up within the hour. Jason and his lead technician Jeremy were professional and polite and got to work immediately. They secured us storage and moved property that had not been effected by the flood out and also removed the damaged property and hauled it away. Once the area was free from property and water. They went to work on cutting out the affected drywall and removing it. Then they moved in there state of the art drying equipment until the basement was bone dry. I work nights and I felt comfortable enough with them being in the house and doing what they needed to do while I slept. They took a very difficult situation and handled it with the upmost care and professionalism. I would recommend this company to anyone in there time of need."

"Very good. They explained very well what to expect by painting the old walls and recommended some repairs on the rough areas. I am very happy with the overall quality and service I received

"We had problems finding a company willing to do a small section of composite siding, and even fewer who were capable of fixing problems we knew would be underneath. We needed to repair a portion of the back of a 2-story house. SRS came promptly to give an estimate, and was happy to repair as much or as little as we wanted. We went with Hardie board for the majority of the repairs. We had to wait a while for the repairs to be done because they were busy and it kept raining, but that is understandable and Brian from SRS kept us informed of the ETA. Oscar was the crew leader, and he is great to work with - friendly and professional, and made sure to keep us informed of everything that was going on. The problems we expected to find under the siding were worse than we anticipated, which led to them needing to repair water damage to the framing. Oscar showed us the damage, and we gave approval for the additional work and materials. This additional amount was less than we expected for such important repairs. That extra work set them back, and the team rushed to get to a point where they could wrap everything up securely for the night because rain was in the forecast. The partly-resided house survived a half day of rain just fine. Their second workday was also slowed down by unexpected work, but they were here for 10 hours that day and finished up the project within the estimated two days. The crew was polite and helpful. They left the work area just as they found it. They even did some things that we didnt expect (painting areas outside of the scope of their repairs, additional trim work). The new siding and paint looks great! We will definitely go to them again when we do more siding.

"We aren't completely done with the remodel but I'm getting off Angie's List and wanted to give a review for Done Right before doing so.   We gutted our master bathroom (10x12).  A custom shower is being built, a free-standing tub will go in, knockdown on the ceiling, new vanity, lights, plumbing, flooring, toilet.  It is a huge job. As with any contractor there are pros and cons.  I will try to list them as best I can.

Pros:  We were about to give up hope of finding a good contractor until we found Shawn (owner). By then we had an exact idea of what we wanted the final product to be.  He walked through it with us and was very detailed.  He submitted a bid and we found it reasonable.  Other contractors were outrageously high or so low that their bids didn't make sense either.   I was able to go to several of his projects to preview his work and was very impressed with his attention to detail.  Tile work is his specialty although he does a lot of other work himself (not plumbing or drywall). He subs out other jobs.  His knowledge of remodeling is extensive.  He has foreseen some logistical issues and given alternatives.  He also is very good at helping find suppliers.  He has relationships with cabinet, tile, plumbing manufacturers as well as anything else you need during remodeling.  Because of those relationships, he can get contractor discounts.  He has always come to me to discuss things when there is any doubt or options I should consider.  The work he's done so far has been top notch.  He is also extremely friendly and trustworthy.  He has a key to my home.  A  few misc. things - he donates as much as possible to Habitat for Humanity so we can have a tax deduction.  He lets us do as much work as we want to save money.  When we tore out the bathroom he explained things to be careful of beforehand for our safety.  His bid is listed item by item, labor and materials, so you know every detail of what you're paying for.

Cons:  The biggest con we have are delays.  The most problematic one was that the tile we ordered is on back order.  That wouldn't have been a problem except he started our project anyway so our two to three week project isn't done and it's been a couple months. While he's detail oriented, he also seems to have too many irons in the fire or something at least when it comes to ordering things.  Sometimes he says he is coming and something comes up.  I have a feeling that's pretty common practice among all contractors though. It's hard to write something bad about a guy that overall is really, really good at what he does...just not on time. 

Overall, we are happy with Shawn's work.  While the delays have been incredibly frustrating and annoying I am confident that his final result will be worth the wait.  I was able to get exactly what I wanted in this remodel.  His pricing is reasonable but his quality exceptional.   My suggestion if you choose Shawn is for you to take more control over the timing - you make sure all items needed are ready to go before he starts.  I guarantee if you look at his work you will definitely see quality others don't have."
