    Mould Remediation

    We purchased a home with mould in the basement. CRS was recommended by my home inspector. Aris and Rion did fantastic job, from consultation to the actual work, they were super professional, knew what to do, came back to do additional work until it was all cleaned up and the air quality test passed. Very important to hire a professional company that knows that they are doing. Would highly recommend them again any time. Thank you Aris!

    Basement Mould Remediation

    Canada Restoration Services was highly recommended to clean our basement due to the presence of non-toxic mould. The job was explained in detail and all of my questions were answered. The crew arrived on time and worked solidly until the job was done. I was impressed at the professionalism of the crew, and their supervisor. They were polite and respectful of myself and our children. When my son was sick home from school, they did their best to be quiet so he could sleep. I really appreciated this. The crew was aware that my younger son was experiencing undiagnosed childhood asthma, and they took this to heart when they were cleaning the basement. Due to an unexpected structural problem which Canada Restoration Services found and diagnosed (a water leak from our chimney) I was compelled to have the chimney rebuilt and part of a wall repaired. The staff at Canada Restoration Services knew that this structural repair was unforseen and a huge drain on my bank account. They were very kind and generous in allowing me to repay my debt to them over a 6 month period, with minimal haggling. They did not charge me interest or a service fee. Thanks to Canada Restoration Services, I have piece of mind that the basement mould has been properly cleaned, and that this company does good work to help families like mine. I highly recommend this company for your mould remediation. JC

    Asbestos Abatement on Flooring

    We recently performed a Kitchen renovation and were disappointed to find out that the old flooring contained asbestos. I emailed "Canada Restoration Services" fairly late in the evening through their website and Gabriel called me within 30 minutes of clicking submit. The floor ended up covering not only the kitchen but went through the dining area and into the front foyer. Gabriel and his team were very professional and friendly. They were very accommodating and took all the necessary precautions with containment, sealing and air scrubbing. We had a very tight deadline as this discovery was unexpected. Gabriel was very accomodating and the guys worked to get it done by our target date. Overall it was a positive experience and I would use them again on other projects.

    basement flood with mould

    I had a flood in my carpeted basement that led to some mould. Andrew from the Vancouver branch was quick to respond to my inquiries, set out a course of action and then explained the outcome. I was happy with the results. Things were left very clean and tidy and they took care not to damage paint when sealing off from the rest of the house the area that was being treated.

    Mould Removal

    There is sometimes a simple moment of truth after making a weighty decision when you recognize either that you've made a good or bad decision. I knew I had made a good decision selecting Canada's Restoration Services when I watched Jason Campbell tape down a protective floor covering he was using to ensure his team wouldn't damage our floors. The covering would have been enough, but what really got my attention was watching Jason meticulously cut the tape so that it consistently formed a ¼" spacing away from the quarter round. Attention to details like temporary tape told me this job was in good hands. And it was. Jason and his team efficiently and meticulously removed boards, panelling and drywall (even the nails and screws that held the drywall), leaving no trace of the previous mold, and rendering everything ready for me to tackle the refinishing. Everything was done within the agreed price, and even a few weeks later as I write this, I'm still happy with the job. From the start Canada Restoration Services dealt with me professionally and enthusiastically. On the day the team was to arrive, the project manager, Ken Ben-Gal, called apologizing that the company trucks with the professional equipment had been badly vandalized the night before. Eventually Ken had to call to apologize that the damage was too severe and they would need to reschedule. During that whole time, while the trucks were being inspected, Ken called me regularly to keep me fully informed. As soon as the extent of the damage was determined, he worked with me to find another time that fit my schedule. Sometimes it's adversity that shows the quality of a company, and Ken's actions evidenced Canada Restorations Services' well.

    Hello Dan! Thanks so much for Sharing! We believe in one thing and one thing only, and that is doing things right! Hence why our slogan is "It's not just what we do, it's how we do it!" I apologize for the little bumps with scheduling (unfortunately we had unforeseen circumstances), but I am glad that Ken worked through it with you and we could get things back in order in a timely manner! Thank you again so much and have a wonderful day! Alissa - Customer Service Manager

    Mold Removal

    My wife was convinced that we have a mold problem and I saw myself ripping off walls and stuff. We decided to get professional help to get better understanding for what it will cost and how long it will take to repair. We call Canada’s Restoration Services. They booked us for a free estimate on the next business day. Gabriel from Canada’s Restoration Services came in promptly as scheduled to the minute (I hate when I'm booked for "any time between 8 AM and noon"). He evaluated our concern and explained to us that this was not a mold infestation and why. He knows his stuff and is very helpful explaining in details and showing us with his tools that what we thought was a problem was not a concern at all. His honesty and integrity saved us a lot of headaches and money. Thank you Gabriel!

    Hello Slavin! Thanks so much for sharing. We are pleased that we could assist with the evaluation and glad that we were able to save you the headache and money :) Have a wonderful day! Alissa - Customer Service

    Mold inspection and removal

    I discovered mold in my unfinished basement storage room. I contacted Canada's Restoration Services and received a call back from Gabriel, a local project manager, that same day. He booked an appointment with me for a free inspection. During Gabriel's inspection he was professional, knowledgeable, and confident. He took the time to explain his assessment and the recommended course of action. He sent me a detailed estimate via email. I then agreed to proceed with the estimate and booked a date for the mold removal. The turn around time was very reasonable. On removal day Gabriel and the mold removal specialists arrived on time. They carefully helped me to remove any items from the storage room that would've been in their way. The removal specialists explained the process to me before they started the removal process. The storage room was well concealed before the mold removal was initiated. They completed the project as explained to me and were very clean and professional. They also helped me return the items back to the storage room once all the work was completed. Gabriel and his team were very easy to deal with and the customer service they provided was excellent.

    Water Damage

    We came home from a recent holiday to find out a pipe in our basement burst flooding the rec room and basement bedroom. We called Canada Restoration Services and received a call back from Andrew within 2 minutes. He promised us a crew would be in site in 45 minutes. He also said he would come and give us an estimate of the work needed to do. 15 minutes later we received a call from John the lead technician to say they were on their way and the GPS said they would be at our house in 25 minutes. They arrived on time, and brought in a water extractor and had the water out of our basement quickly. They followed this by sorting out our contents, pulling up rugs and a wood floor and bringing in industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to start the drying process. Andrew showed up about the same time the team did and set the scope of work, gave us an estimate of what needed to be done, instructed us on our options and made sure the job was done correctly. Some drywall was able to be dried without cutting it, but where we had insulation behind the walls they had to cut up 2 feet to dry it out and remove the wet insulation. once the basement was dry and the pipe was fixed we started the rebuild process. Once again Canada Restoration Services arranged for everything and we were very happy with the results. Thank you to Andrew and his crew from Canada Restoration Services for helping us through a rough experience. We would recommend CRS for your water damage restoration needs
