Get matched with top dry rot, water or pest damage major repairers in Overland Park, KS

"MCGARRAH painting did an excellent job on painting my house. We noticed that we were getting dry rot in parts of our home which can cause mold and other water damage to the integrity of our home. I hired MCGARRAH due to his attention to detail. His crew found more damage then I was even aware of and were able to fix it before more damage could be done to the home. The craftsmanship is superb and they exceeded my expectations."

"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."

"Terrific - huge relief! Wish now that I had not procrastinated getting an estimate. I simply had no time previously and now that I had 2 weeks' time off for the Christmas holiday season, decided I would undertake what I assumed would be the unpleasant task of researching companies, securing an estimate, and beginning to face what I was sure was a significant mold problem. I have a 58 year-old home (which we love and hope to remain in forever - as we moved here for the ranch layout and hardwoods - perfect for 2 family members in wheelchairs). Unfortunately, our beautiful but older home has old, corroding copper pipes in the walls - and pipe in the wall beneath kitchen sink had a few leaks that leaked over time into the wall. After plumbers cut open sheetrock to repair sections of leaking copper pipe (twice) ...as the home warranty plan we have is great and covers removal and replacement of corroded sections of copper pipe for a small co-pay (but only covers removal & replacement of a few inches of pipe around the corroded area rather than covering replacement of the entire 5 ft run of pipe) and we've had a couple sections of pipe in the wall under sink replaced. Each time a section of pipe was replaced, plumbers opened up more sheet rock in the area to expose the pipe - which also exposed mold on a 2 x 4 and insulation in that area. Plumbers had also quoted cost of replacing the entire run of pipe - just in case I ever decide to replace my lower kitchen cabinets, noting that would be a good time to get rid of the entire run of copper pipe. So - back to the mold issue I had avoided for so long, assuming it would be expensive. After getting a few names of mold remediation companies from Angie's List, I quickly read the reviews & noticed several reviews for Advanta Clean of Kansas City mentioned this was not a company looking to secure work if professional assistance was not truly needed and often simply provide a recommendation and advice on how the homeowner can take care of their smaller-than-anticipated work on their own and avoid costly repairs. Reading the reviews provided some relief, and I hoped to get a visit and free estimate from Kevin, as reviews of him were really good. What I actually experienced when Kevin visited our home can't easily be described. My worries and concerns were immediately alleviated. Kevin was highly professional, describing national guidelines recommendations, noting our issue was less substantial than we had thought, and provided 3 different approaches that could be taken - detailing each. The first approach (and one he recommended) was free - simply cleaning up the area ourselves with vinegar and allow it to dry well, along with using a dehumidifier in the house (as humidity was reading high). The second approach (if uncomfortable cleaning the small area of mold on our own) was in the $350 range plus cost for asbestos testing (necessary in a home of our age to ensure crews would be safe while completing repairs) with asbestos testing through an independent company of our choosing (though Kevin could provide info if needed) running ~$400 (this entire second approach was deemed an unnecessary but available option by Kevin), and the third approach was ~$1200 (which covered a significant amount of work...removing lower kitchen cabinets, all sheetrock & insulation behind them, cleaning up the area and using HEPA fans) which Kevin noted was an 'aggressive' but available approach - should we prefer that. I had feared hearing $5k to $6k - so had done nothing for far too long. I wish I had called earlier!! I now have a plan that costs me nothing for now - which I feel safe with (priceless). And, since I already intended to pull out & replace lower kitchen cabinets after saving up a bit (& also replace the 5 ft run of copper pipe in the wall that started all these issues) I now have a solid idea of what it will cost to do the level of agressive mold remediation that I prefer to do (pulling out/checking/replacing insulation near the area) - once I'm ready to be without a functioning kitchen for a bit. Meanwhile, I am very comfortable managing the small area of visible mold on my own. And, will definitely be calling Kevin at AdvantaClean whenever I get around to replacing my lower kitchen cabinets, to do the level of unnecessary but precautionary checking I'd prefer to do. An outstanding, highly professional company that I will be using in the future, and would recommend to friends and family. THANKS!!"

JD and his crew were fantastic! The estimate was competitive with other bidders and we felt the value of their services was very high. We had extensive wood rot damage around most of the windows in our house. JD and his crew were very detailed and careful as they removed the old windows, repaired the wood rot, and installed the new windows. The locations that were leaking before the window installation are leaking no more. Wood Rot Solutions also repaired rot on the exterior of our house, including trim and siding. Everything was caulked well and it was easy for the painters once they arrive. (Note: painting was not part of Wood Rot Solutions scope.) JD and his crew were very professional. They kept the interior of the house clean and even worked around our child's naptimes. We are VERY happy with our new windows.

"We used Foundation1 to completely rebuild 2 basement walls and push another one back up and support it. They did a great job and done it quickly and professionally. I do not live in the KC area and needed to find a contractor that could be counted on to be honest and stand behind their work. Foundation1 has fit that bill. The work I had done was a year and a half ago and the basement has stayed dry the whole time. Definitely would recommend!!"

"Doug arrived and helped me out so much with drywall patching. We will be using him again for our other needs. He was perfectly prices, so nice, honest and full of knowledge. So happy he could help us out."

"We had some termite damage, and Marc did a great job. He was very thorough and completed the work in 2 days, and only did the repairs that were needed. The completed work (drywall replacement, wood trim replacement, painting) was high quality. We would definitely hire Midwest IPR again."

"Brian came and discussed what they had to offer. We knew we wanted James Hardy Siding - costs seemed reasonable - better price than one other bid we got. The crew was at our house 4 days - cleaned up after each day, were pleasant & professional. Oscar, the crew chief, addressed any of our concerns - we were 100% happy."
