They gave us a bid to finish a job they had started and said they could complete the work that next week. We told them we could do some of the work in house, rather then adjust the bid they said they couldn't get us on the schedule anymore. I asked how long until they could, they responded by saying we should probably look for another vendor. We are paying $4000 for the original job but because we can handle the painting in house it was no longer worth it to them to finish. All about the money obviously

I am in the middle of preparing for my. Mother-in-law to spend her last days with us. ( she has been bed ridden 30 years). So before she comes in two weeks we need to repipe and have new flooring done. While getting bids I brought concerns about a past leak which in my mind I was sure had resulted in major damage. The plumber me referred me to a "Water Damage specialist" who came and found a problem totally unrelated and told me their was 92% moisture in my floor around the toilet.
No visible damage anywhere. I was skeptical. I typed "water damage Vancouver Wa" and found ARS I called and explained the situation to Philepe the situation. He told me it was probably not that serious from what I described. Moses and Ricardo were the technicians that came out. Both were very thorough. They checked with their moisture measuring instruments and found the readings to be within normal range.
There was evidence of staining from past leaks but no damage to the wood. They charged me nothing. The previous company was Estimating $5,000 with tearing up walls and hazmat and possibly weeks of airing before reassembling the house to original form. Moral. Always get at least three estimates. Make sure their stories coincide. Watch for tag team associates. Philippe Moses and Ricardo were polite professional and honest. Moses had offered to go under the house but I told him he didn't have to.
He insisted. And he took pictures. That's how dedicated he was. In a business as ruthless as the mold remediation business is it is comforting to know their is someone you can rely on. May God bless ARS and help in there endeavor to help others in times of distress.

I read some of the reviews and like any person doing their diligence, I researched several other competitors and talked to a few references. In the end it was clear to me that ARS was the best choice. It's like reading a product review, pro's and con's, typically those con's are related to something very specific and unique for that reviewer, not an overall pattern.
The services they provided for us on two different occasions was quick and the results were high quality. The staff was very professional and provided a good experience. A lead inspected after the crew and provided constant communications of next steps and progress. Our two projects; a water leak had built up from the upstairs bath tub that came through the downstairs ceiling.
There was clean up, dry out and repairing back to normal. They did such a good job that they were the first we called when we noticed some mold on the outside of the house. The mold was in our attic due to a construction error of not having the proper ventilation. They also identified some additional issues with the gables and the roof needed replacement.
They quickly worked to mitigate the mold issue. We appreciated the extensive expertise about mold, the owner personally educated us on that process. The construction related issues could have been performed by a roof specialists but we chose to go with ARS as they can handle a broad spectrum of mitigation and repairs. They did awesome work! We would not hestitate to use them again and have referred them to several others who have been equally pleased.

I had some dry rot, a couple leaks through the siding when it rained, and other siding issues that was in need of immediate repairs so I called ARS Construction to come by and give me a quote. John and the team came by and I explained to him the obvious problem areas and I also asked him to evaluate other areas which were questionable. John and I spent a sufficient amount of time going through the outside of the entire house. John gave me a thorough explanation to me why each area should be repaired.
After spending time with him it was clear to me that he was very knowledgeable in his field and I felt very good about explanations. The following day I received a quote which was very reasonable, so I decided to go with them. I called the office to schedule an appointment, the earliest appointments were one weeks out. ARS started and finished the work on schedule.
During the course of the work I got a text from John while I was at work showing me that when removing some of the damaged siding that there was additional dry rot on some of the wood work around the windows so I meet with the contractor to discuss additional repairs and costs. After seeing the damaged I approved the additional repairs. The whole experience working with ARS was a very good one.
He was very knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive and I thought his pricing was fair. My recommendation would be to always correspond with ARS because they are the one who gets things done.

I would discourage anyone from doing business with this company. I had water damage in my home and called Jon, the owner. He promised he would come out to do an estimate and get the job down quick. I selected Ars to do the repairs. They were over a month behind finishing the project ( than their original estimated date). The project manager and owner were non responsive to my calls and emails.
The work they did do was low quality. They had to come out to my house 5 times over the last 6 months to fix their poor work. I had to threaten legal action for the owner to even respond to my calls and emails to fix their errors. This company has poor customer service, unskilled workers, and in my option a dishonest owner. Save your self the headache and go with another contractor.

All of the production and fast response is very important to my Company. I needed good work professionally done. His company was there and fast. I was running a huge Commercial Building with tenants coming in and going out through the years. He was fantastic. I also used another Company for home repairs. Insurance Company, I had to use. Nightmare in all their work. Not ARS Best service. Great price. Very Professional.

I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so surprised by back feedback left that after my experience I had an obligation to express my thoughts and share my feedback. We unfortunately had a terrible experience with a roofing company which left our home full of moisture. I called ARS and spoke with John the owner after hours. I expressed my concern for my family and mines health and he sent a crew out that night.
They were thorough and professional during the assessment. Felipe, the crew leader and John, the owner called me throughout the next few weeks to discuss next steps and give me options throughout the process. Due to the damage in the home, they took thermal readings, checked for additional moisture points and worked with me so I felt me and my family had all options for our safety.
They not only protected our health by removing the contaminated areas but they were thorough with sealing off the areas so the rest of our home wasn't affected with dust, debri or possibly worse. They covered our new floors, and always wore booties and protective gear. Every team member was professional and courteous of our family. Our home was so damaged that all of the ceilings upstairs had to be removed. John helped walk me through the process with the insurance agents and offered to help should we need it.
We are still dealing with the other companies and insurance related issues and ARS has been the only company who has been easy to work with, and helped reduce an already stressful situation. When your being displaced due to others negligence it's a very delicate balancing act, and I can't stress enough how much I would always recommend ARS.

I had a water line break this winter and my basement was flooded causing severe damage. I called ARS and they responded quickly assuring me that they will take care of it promptly. They showed up the same day and began resolving the issue. They communicated well with me about the process and what was being done as well as what to expect. I am pleased with their service and highly recommend them for your restoration needs.
