Get matched with top dry rot, water or pest damage major repairers in Rochester, NY

"Mark and his team were very courteous and prompt each day of the project. They laid mats to protect my floor and, outside of the jackhammering on the first day, I could hardly hear them working. He also did a walk around the house and pointed out what needed to be done to help lessen the water. I am happy to say that the new system (and pump) they installed has worked perfectly - have not had any occurrence of water issues since. Definitely would rehire them again!"

"Fred has been amazing. He removed a stain from a carpet that the previous company I used said would never come out. I am extremely sensitive to strong chemical smells and fragrances but I love the way the house smells after he cleans. The carpets and furniture look and smell clean. Fred has been extremely responsive and has done several emergency jobs. Fred is a really nice guy and is always very professional. When I needed help addressing a smoke issue in the house he recommended someone who has been equally as responsive and professional as he has been. I use Fred frequently, he is basically on speed dial, and I would highly recommend him to everyone who needs to have their carpets and upholstery cleaned."

"Matthew Mulcahy was a pleasure to work with. Over the course of four days, he took care of the interior repairs that were needed in response to ice damming damage we encountered in February, 2021. Matthew's work included drywall replacement, molding replacement, repair of a wall crack, and ceiling and painting in the master bedroom. When completed, everything looked like new. He will be our #1 choice for any future work in our condo."

"WOW! SO HAPPY I went with YAEGER!! From the initial phone call to the completion of the job I was informed of every step that would be taken, the cost, the time it would take, their guarantee, I was shown before and after pictures, given the opportunity to ask questions every step of the way and have them answered in a timely and understandable way. When I called I thought I had a small, isolated mold problem. Rob came in and did a thorough inspection of my home. I was shocked to find out how extensive the mold problem was through my home, and extremely concerned because of the health issues we had all been having in recent years that were getting worse. Rob was professional and reassurring. This information prompted many questions from me. He identified and explained the types of mold that he found, where he found them, what causes them, estimated the amount of time it had been there, explained what specific procedures they would do to remediate/kill/remove it and prevent future problems as well as guarantee his work. He also knew where to look for the source of the problem. Rob Yaeger was accommodating with scheduling the job, since we were all working from home due to Covid 19. He took into account my pets and disabled son when planning the project. I felt confident from the moment I met Rob Yaeger that I had placed the job in very competent hands and I didn't have to worry. He did EVERYTHING he said. His team of people were just as polite and pleasant as Rob was. They were respectful of us, our home, our time and took pride in the job they did. It wasn't a small job. They were in our home from morning till early evening. If I could rate them higher, I would. I have already been referring him to friends and I know they will be calling him. You can't put a price on peace of mind, but I can tell you, I was on two inhalers. I no longer am coughing all day and rarely use even 1 of them. My house is free and clear of all mold and "funny" smells that we could never figure out what they were or get rid of. My other son's health is improving as well! I would never wish anyone to have mold issues, but most of us do and don't even know it. I had no idea how common it is. If you want to be sure, get Rob Yaeger to do an inspection to be sure. You won't regret it. He is honest, reliable and the job will be done right. I would never use anyone else. BEST DECISION EVER!!"

"He explained the process and the finished work was outstanding"

"We needed roof repair, location and repair of leaks in a rooftop deck, and the installation of many cabinets, both base and wall-mounted. Our first contact with Doug Coons was about locating the sources of multiple leaks in a rooftop deck that had been an issue for the entire eight years since we’d built an addition to our home. We’d had at least three other contractors out to look at it and selected one to do the repairs. We invested thousands of dollars into that repair and to replace the ceiling and drywall damaged by the leaks. That “repair” did NOT take care of the problem; the leaking persisted, and all of the money we’d spent was wasted. When I called Doug Coons, he answered his phone on the first ring. He came out within two days and gave us a quote on the spot. I think this was a Wednesday. We discussed the timeline for the job, and I jokingly said, “Well, unless you can have it done before Saturday afternoon, it’ll have to be next week. We’re having a graduation party here Saturday.” To my surprise, Doug said if we needed it done by Saturday, they’d get it done. And they DID. His roofing crew was phenomenal, especially the crew chief. It was obvious from the minute he viewed the interior damage and then walked the deck and roof that he knew exactly what the problems were and how to fix them. He explained very clearly what was going on, why, and what needed to be done. They got to work and were finished and cleaned up and out of there well ahead of the party. We’ve had no issues with leaks since. The next time I called, Doug answered his phone on the first ring. (I’ve since found out that this is standard for him—something which is completely outside of my experience and really appreciated.) We’d participated in an auction to benefit a local animal rescue organization and bought thousands of dollars’ worth of floor model cabinets. They came “as is,” with some damage, and without installation instructions. He and his crew did an outstanding job of configuring, repairing and installing them. Their attention to detail and how particular they are about quality work is really commendable. We’ve already lined up two more jobs with them—drywall, flooring, wainscoting, waterproofing, and more cabinet installation, and I have every confidence that this work will be performed to the same high standards as the work done so far. It’s great to have a contractor who really DOES “do it all,” and I’m so glad I’ll never have to search for and “vet” a contractor ever again. Finally, my husband and I think his quotes are quite reasonable, especially given the high quality of workmanship."

"I have used Rapid Dry in the past and they did an awesome job. Jessie was very professional and a great guy. I will use them again come spring for more jobs."

"When I reached out to a service to remove my trash, because I was preparing for a move, they responded first. Ian, their sales representative was here in 2 days. (Very handsome). I felt so comfortable, he was very open and honest, and was very clear about my cost for their service. 3 days later, the crew arrives. Mike, Mitchell, and Sam. Such polite, wonderful young men, and very hard workers! I felt so blessed with this company! You just got to go with your gut, I knew they were the one! They also cleaned up any debrie left from smashing things up! It was very interesting. And, I am not the mother or grandmother of anyone involved with this company. They were strangers, I didn't know them. They were AWESOME! Thank you GotTrash!?"

"Leahe Development came out the next day after calling them to give me an estimate on fixing the water leak. Once over here they noticed the lose floor tile and mold on the pipes, which were also asbestos. They gave me a quote for fixing the water leak and gave me recommendations on the mold and floor tile. I then asked them if I should have them test the asbestos and mold. They stated that there was no need to test the mold as it was obviously visible. The same was stated about the asbestos pipe wrap but that if I wanted I could have it tested. The floor tile was a 9x9 and they stated that it and the glue that holds it down were probably asbestos as well and to confirm that they were they would take samples and have it tested if I wanted. They are licensed in Asbestos Testing and removal as well as licensed in Mold testing and removal and assessment. I told them to go ahead and test for the floor tile and glue. Results came back in two days and they gave me a quote to remove the floor tile, glue and the asbestos wrap on the pipes (which had mold on them). They gave me the estimate the very next day which I thought was very fast and I appreciated their timeliness. I checked around with two more asbestos companies to get a quote and one never showed up and the other ones price for the same work was almost twice that of Leahe Development. I hired Leahe Development to do the work and when they were done I was glad I hired them as they were there every day from the day they arrived until the job was done. They picked up the area every day before they left and left the area much cleaner then when they started. They had me back together in seven days from the day they started the job. The workers were very friendly and courteous. I was and am happy I hired Leahe Development and would definitely recommend them to others."
