What recent reviews say

From first call through finish, Action Restoration shows up early and stays transparent. Patrick and his crew handle foundation cracks, garage floor replacement, and water damage with the same calm efficiency whether the job takes hours or weeks. Site cleanup happens before they leave, and pricing stays honest even when hidden problems emerge during excavation.

Work includes basement entrance repair, concrete sills, parging restoration, and emergency water removal. Reviewers cite Patrick's willingness to take small jobs between major projects and his habit of spotting issues others miss. The team solves problems and explains the thinking behind each repair decision.

Most work is completed with solid craftsmanship and many projects finish on time and on budget. The crew is often professional and responsive during the job itself. However, significant delays, spotty communication, and follow-up issues plague the experience for some customers, particularly during longer projects. Worksite cleanliness and accountability for post-completion problems vary widely. A repeat customer praises their deck and window well work as timely and reliable. Kitchens, bathrooms, decks, and concrete work appear strong suits. One elderly customer reported unpaid work and incomplete delivery. Another faced a three-month project with weeks of silence, poor site management, and cracked cement steps that required patching months later.
