    Run run run. Completely turned my fire rebuild 290k into a additional 150k project for me. They neglected sistering roof trusses as inspector told them to do so roof sags. They never sealed roof pipe with boot so 11 months of water seeped attic ruining insolation and once I went to attic they charged 20 inch blowing gave me 10 inches! They also blocked all soffits causing improper air flow adding to moisture issue. Refused to correct under workmanship warranty plus many many many other frauds.

    We used Paul Davis for restoration work after a house fire, and unfortunately, the experience was filled with issues from start to finish. There were numerous delays, poor communication, and a lack of professionalism throughout the process. The biggest problem is that some of the work was never completed, and despite repeated attempts to have the issues addressed under warranty, we have received no meaningful response. Over the past year, I have contacted corporate offices four separate times seeking assistance, but the concerns remain unresolved. To make matters worse, the local Paul Davis offices involved in our project have since gone out of business, leaving us with no clear point of contact for warranty support or unfinished work. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Paul Davis. The lack of accountability and follow-through has been extremely disappointing.

      Paul Davis North Bay, Ontario are price gougers. They will over-inflate their bill. Avoid working with Jeff **, a project manager, for Paul Davis North Bay. He is a liar and fraudster. He will do significant damage to your property on top of the initial damages, you called Paul Davis in for. He will tell you outright lies and his staff do take (steal) things from your home, if you are not around to watch them. As well, if you are part of a racial minority group, you will be paying far more than you would have had to if you were a ** Protestant.

      In December 2024 we had a leak in our bathroom under the Built-in vanity. After the plumber repaired the leak the insurance company sent Paul Davis Restoration to assess the damages. The asked for my deductible up front and worked with the insurance company for repairs. Nothing was resolved. In March of 2025 we had another water leak behind the wall of another bathroom. After the plumber repaired the leak the insurance company said that, "Since Paul Davis was already working with you they should handle this claim also with this water leak. " We had a great deal of water in the basement/laundry room. (The previous owners had installed indoor/outdoor carpeting in this area.) Paul Davis never addressed this water damage but did remove items for storage pending removal of the carpeting.

      Paul Davis workers were slow to do the repairs in the second bathroom arriving and working for about 1 hour and then leave, but each and every time I ask about the removal of the carpet and each time I’m told they know nothing about that. As time progressed the second bathroom was finally completed, and the vanity in the first bathroom was removed. At which time it was discover that no floor was present under the original vanity. Time passed and no addition work was done. In March of 2026 the insurance company called and said that they would not pay for additional storage fees for my items, I informed them that nothing can be returned until the carpet is removed. At this point the project manager himself can and removed the carpeting, however since it had been glued down, adhesive residue is still present and Paul Davis has refused to rectify this.

      Still to date the original bathroom has no vanity, missing ceramic tile on the wall and floor along with the missing flooring where the vanity was located. Paul Davis has told us to go to Home Depit and pick out a vanity, but it cannot cost more than $950. We looked at the available vanities and none of them are suitable. We did locate a company that would custom fit a vanity but Paul Davis stated it is over budget. How can it be over budget if you haven’t spent any money on the original bathroom and the insurance company has paid out over $6000. I have asked for an print out of the expenses for each project and Paul Davis has refused.

      Paul Davis is the absolute WORST organization I have ever had the displeasure of doing business with! A tree fell on my parent's house 10 months ago and unfortunately, we hired this crap company to do the restoration. From fall to spring, nobody showed up to work, FOR MONTHS! We've had multiple contractors and none of them last more than two weeks. This job has switched so many hands. They came in and took all of our furniture, cleaned out closets and drawers, took cabinets off walls, threw a tarp on the roof and never came back. The house has sustained more damage due to their negligence. We haven't laid eyes on our belongings or been in our house for more than 10 months. My parents are 80 years old. They have paid their dues in this life, and they should not have to be going through this!

      These people don't call, they don't communicate, they don't show up, they can't keep employees, and they DON'T CARE. Something is seriously wrong with this organization and if I could give them negative stars, I would. DON'T HIRE THEM! And if you do, keep an attorney on standby. If Paul Davis doesn't get off their hands and make this right (and I have no reason to believe they will), a lawsuit will be our next step. Which is sad because all we want is our house fixed and to be done with this awful company. They are literally forcing our hand. It doesn't get worse than this, never ever trust Paul Davis Restoration!!

      I hired Paul Davis Restoration to install a garage door on my property. A year after the installation, the door stopped operating. Assuming that it was due to the garage door opener I had another company check the garage door opener for basic troubleshooting. To my surprise, the 2nd company identified several issues with the installation of the door which resulted in the door not closing and seizing resulting in damage to my garage door opener. All of the identified issues will require extensive repairs in addition to a brand-new garage door opener. I was provided an inspection report and photos of the parts of the garage door that were installed incorrectly.

      One of the main issues was that the door was too large for the door opening. But rather than order a new door or a new panel for the top of the door (as is standard practice), Paul Davis Restoration cut a notch in the top of the door which is improper and resulted in structural concerns which are detailed in the inspection report.

      The inspection report also details other issues such as missing outside lift brackets at the top and bottom of the door and cables that were run around the track to the pulley. In short, the improper installation caused the door to seize and break the gear and sprockets on the garage door opener. All of which prevented the door from closing.

      Paul Davis Restoration also didn't replace the emergency key release which is standard practice in a garage door installation. This is a safety concern, because in the event that the door seized while it was closed and I had been in the garage, there would’ve been no way for me to leave the garage without the door being cut through. I don’t have a direct entrance to my home from inside of the garage. I attempted to address this with them and even reached out to the PA Attorney General Office. This resulted in a few communications from on of their representatives Brian ** claiming that they stand by their work and they would do something to resolve the issue.

      In the end their smug ** attorney Jeffrey ** responds refusing to accept responsibility and claiming that they processed a refund 2 years ago which is a lie. They sent a one page print out showing a refund of my deductible which conveniently never made it to my bank account. I clearly wouldn't request a refund for money that I had already received. Overall don't use this company. It took them 3 days to install a standard garage door. The people that they sent could barely speak English and they clearly cut corners. They did a shitty job and they clearly enjoy stealing from the little guy.

      Paul Davis of NE TX did a wonderful and thorough job of taking care of a mold issue in my home. They even went beyond the area and did more checking only to find more mold. They didn't stop until they felt confident it was all removed. They were thorough and I am confident that it has all been removed. The men (Dacotah, Austin, Jermiya, Carlos and Chris) were all very hard working in setting up and cleaning all the mold out. I appreciate their work!

      While the team members I was able to speak with were pleasant. I feel the team they sent in to actual do the clean-up discarded several items that were salvageable. These things consisted of very high end items lots of designer items. They listed many things way below cost. In essence they get a considerable amount of your insurance benefit and leave you in the hole for replacement. I think the Insurance Companies should use their own people to come in and access the damage and if it a Natural Disaster just declare it a total loss.

      After don't the filters and the peroxide in the home. I was still having the same symptoms. I pulled up the carpet. There had to be something in that room. I was determined to locate it. I did. I called Paul Davis and told him what I had discovered. He gave me clear step by step instructions. I followed them and I would like to submit photos to show the public. After this review I will do another one, as this is a lengthy process. You can't rush the removal. It's like surgery. Be patient. Without further ado. I was told to place peroxide on the concrete. If it bubbles slow it to dry for several days. I did. I went back and applied more peroxide. It has continued to bubble. So, I'm still not in my room. However I am confident that I will breathe much better once the floor is sanitary and free of what ever is living in the spores. I attempted to upload the photos. I was informed they are too large.

      I can't say enough great things about Paul Davis Restoration! From the moment I met, Project Manager Fred led the charge with professionalism, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to getting everything done right. He kept me informed every step of the way and made an extremely stressful situation feel manageable.

      Alejandro and Maria—what gems! Their attention to detail, kindness, and work ethic were truly exceptional. They went far above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and their positive attitude made a real difference throughout the entire grueling process. If you're looking for a restoration company that treats you like family and delivers top-notch 5 Star results, Paul Davis is the one. Huge thanks to Fred ** and Maria for making a tough time so much easier! I will always be grateful to you!

      I can literally write a book on how bad Paul Davis Restoration is so please I beg you, choose someone else. Super responsive and the first acct. manager you meet is so nice and friendly....And that's it. Every single aspect of the restoration process is so, so terrible. The cleaning people that clean your belongings will steal from you and try to say it's covered by insurance when they have no clue whether it is or isn't, but why on earth are they stealing your things anyway? Stuff from same closet, half returned half taken. Half taken was all my nice things. The repairs and rebuild you ask? No way, shape or form professional. It is like someone has just learned to use a miter saw or lay carpet or paint and they're cheap so that's who they send. No clue if they can actually do a good job or not. They're just hoping it survives the 1 yr. warranty and then they're clear! That should be their motto. Just make it till warranty is up guys and girls!

      1- Assumed they were getting all my business to mitigate and reconstruct without a second quote. 2- Awarded mitigation, project manager named (J) was poor communicator, made promises that were not kept. Packing crew of ladies did a fabulous job, cleaning crew had to be called back 3 times to properly clean. We ended up doing it ourselves! Mr Carsom ** was the best employee we worked with. Return our cleaned items even working weekends and nights. Reconstruction quote much higher than competition. We switched to a more affordable and competent company. Paul Davis threw away our cabinets without consulting us first which cost another $1300 to replace.

      On Jun 1 1st, 2025 I filed a claim for water damage after a refrigerator repair went bad, Paul Davis out of Hampton NH was recommended by Liberty Mutual for the Dry-Out and they did a decent job. So, I hired them to also do the Restoration, also in June but at the time, they let me know it would likely take 2 months before they could start because of the backlog of projects. But they dropped the ball in August by not following the claims request properly with Liberty mutual resulting in a month delay so we expecting to now start the job in September, but they dropped the ball again on ordering the materials leading to another month delay.

      Finally, I got a notice that they would start the job on Oct. 20th at 8:00am but at noon I called them since no one showed up and they said they had a truck issue and would stay on Tuesday 10/21 at 8:00am, but again no one showed up, at 10:30am a Hertz rental truck showed up with 2 men who spoke zero English. I did my best to communicate with them but the only word they could speak in English was floor. They called their boss on the phone who was a subcontractor and he let me know they were here to do the setup. I asked who was going to provide these men instructions and was told that he would be out to my place tomorrow. So, I went inside, called Paul Davis, spoke to RJ the project Manager, who seems to think it was not an issue that they could speak zero English and could not verify if these men were even legally able to work in NH, USA and he said he would check.

      In the 5 minutes it took to have that call, the 2 men unloaded the wood flooring and left. Later that day, I got a Text from the Project Manager, RJ, that the contractor would not be showing up on Wednesday 10/22 as they needed to find a new crew and would be in touch. On Wed, 10/22 I called Nathan **, the GM, who also had no issue with the fact that they outsourced work to illegal aliens but would look into the project and call me back on Thursday with a plan.

      On Thurs, 10/23, after 5 months of waiting to start the restoration, Nathan ** called me back to let me know they would refund the downpayment and they were no longer interested in completing the project. I asked for a reason and they said they didn't have to give me one, stating this was just no longer a good fit for them. So, now I am having to start the process of locating a vendor to do the restoration after wasting everyone's time for the past 5 months. Paul Davis is Unreliable, operating with contractors that sub out work to illegal Aliens, and completely unprofessional in their communications, commitment, and piss poor customer service.

      Our insurance company chose Paul Davis Restoration (** Reagan Way) to come to our home to mitigate a leak. We assumed this referral meant we’d receive professional, ethical service — unfortunately, that wasn’t our experience. Overall, this was one of the most stressful home repair experiences we’ve ever had, and we would never use this company again. Our project, which was estimated at 8 weeks, ended up taking approximately 7-8 months due to repeated delays and mistakes by Paul Davis. Here are just a few issues that we experienced.

      *They sent an unlicensed contractor to our home.
      *They decided that to do the flooring they needed to move my leather sofa and love seat. The techs who were sent to take the sofas to the garage, dragged them so severely against the entryway door that they pulled the material off both the sofa and loveseat. The sofas had to be sent out to be repaired, and this took approximately three months.

      *They allowed the unlicensed contractor’s son, who was also unlicensed, to do electrical work on our home. This left us in fear for our lives and had to be redone by a licensed electrician.

      *The recessed lights that were installed by the unlicensed contractor were so bad it took, five months to get to a reasonable accommodation, but still not great. Something we now must now live with.
      *While reinstalling our dishwasher, they broke a valve, flooded the new flooring that had just been put in, and they had to purchase a new one.

      *While reinstalling my refrigerator, they informed us that it was faulty but that they could complete a change order and fix it for an additional charge. We called an actual plumber who told us the refrigerator was fine and that the supposed refrigerator “issue” appeared to have been caused by Paul Davis loosening the valves. Good thing we checked with a reputable plumber.

      *The contract stated that upon request, they would provide contractor license information. We requested this about 6 times and in writing, we are still waiting. I believe we received one or two which leads us to believe that all the other contractors may have been unlicensed, but we will continue to wait and see.

      *The project manager (this term is a massive stretch based on what he accomplished) Nico, his oversight was coming to the house once a week and shucking it up with the contractors while asking about their weekend and kids. His visit would conclude with a cursory glance at the house and statement that “everything looks great, even as the paint from the unlicensed contractor peeled from the fireplace”. The project manager rarely inspected the work and did not address quality concerns we repeatedly raised.

      *They removed furniture from the house to do flooring but once flooring was complete, we were told they would not move it back unless we paid more money. This was the opposite of what we were told when we signed the contract. They told us (that part of room reset fees, if they took anything down (wall art, mirrors) they would replace it upon completion, this did not happen either

      They sent us an unlicensed contractor to resurface our kitchen ceiling. This contractor sprayed the ceiling without coving anything in the kitchen, every item in our kitchen was covered in a white texture to include the refrigerator, stove/oven, the walls, the floor, sink, etc. Also, they did not clean it up after two months, our family cleaned up the mess they created. Per the contract they were supposed to clean up after themselves, but this was minimal. I have photos of everything I had to clean. They left paint on doorways. They left paint on laundry room items. They left paint on the cement in front of my house. They left paint on appliances. They left paint on my living room sofa and love seat, Good luck everyone.

      Not only they did a horrible job, that resulted in a flood, but they caused very serious and costly damages to the property. My insurance connected me with them for a window replacement. They did an appalling job - window flooded my bedroom the first night, drywall they installed was falling apart - but also when they were getting the window upstairs, they damaged the first floor landing, railing and walls.

      After the whole thing blew up, they were endlessly fixing the damages- but instead of covering the cost of the damages they made - they decided to add it to my claim and scam my insurance. As a result, they exceeded the coverage and then started harassing me for payment. Not only I went through hell with them for months - now they want me to pay for this mess! They already extorted $25K for a window replacement (!!!) from my insurance (cause they included all the “additional cost” - they demand the rest from me. I had another company (who did a great job) put in an identical window and it was $6K! Their management is incredibly rude, don’t even bother to reach out to them to resolve the issue. I don’t plan on giving them a penny, so we will probably end up in court. And I documented every inch of this entire story, so I’m ready.
