- KFKathryn FreedmanOct 12, 20255.0Since Hurricane Helene, we have dealt with four different companies trying to get our basement and crawl space back to where it was pre-Hurricane. We had 2 sump pumps, 2 dehumidifiers, battery back ups, etc. that all had damage from the hurricane. They were working but not consistently so every time it rained we had some additional leaking. Two of the companies came in with quotes that were ridiculously expensive and two companies just would not show up when they were scheduled. My husband and I both work full time so we couldn’t keep taking off from work waiting for people to show up! Thankfully we found Local Home Restoration. Zach and his team showed up exactly when they said they would. He sent texts and emailed our quote. We had one set back where the new sump pumps were delayed in shipping so we couldn’t do the installation when it was scheduled. Zach was great about communicating about this and rescheduled at a convenient time. Installation went really well and we paid using an online invoice. We are so pleased and it looks great. Can’t recommend them enough!!
- AAAshleyOct 10, 20255.0Highly recommend Zach and George at Local Home Restoration. They just completed a big job on hanging my 18 ft curtains - they even had to trim the rod - they paid close attention to detail, took their time to make sure it was correct and even contacted the designer to make sure they got the length exactly right. Thank you George and Zach for all of your hard work!
- SRSarah RohrssenOct 9, 20255.0If you are looking for honest, quality work, Local Home Restoration is it! They are fantastic with communication and scheduling. Their laborers are skilled and the resources are abundant. They provided a detailed review with modest recommended repairs, not to make bigger of a situation to gain more work. We were extremely pleased with their services and would recommend them to anyone in need. It was a pleasure to work with them.
- GMgeorg moiseyOct 1, 20255.0Best company in our town! They always do great job, always clean, always professional, always polite. Bryan and George are best workers! Cheryl is great with costumer service. And Zach (the owner of the company) always answers all the questions and stays in touch during the whole process of restoration! Highly recommend!
- CSCorey SimpsonSep 25, 20255.0Local home restoration is amazing! I’d give 10 stars if I could! They are incredible with mitigation. I always look for honesty and integrity to refer clients to and man, this company is top of my list of recommendations!
Frequently Asked Questions About Local Home Restoration
Can I handle water or mold remediation myself?
While handling very small areas of water and mold-related damages are an option to handle yourself, more extensive areas require the expertise and equipment of a trained professional to ensure the safety of your property. Our technicians are trained in the appropriate protocols to handle the specific needs of the situation, and we have the necessary equipment, cleaning agents and protective gear to effectively restore your property.
My hardwood floors have water damage. Are they ruined?
Not necessarily, many factors determine if your water damaged hardwoods can be salvaged: how recent the damage is, the category of water, how extensive the damage is, etc. Our team can assess these factors and make the best recommendation for your specific situation. Should we determine the floors are salvageable we have specific drying technology we can deploy to remove excess moisture and often save your flooring.
How do I know if I have water damage in my home or business?
Detecting water damage in your home early is crucial to prevent further issues like mold or structural problems. Here are signs to watch for:
- Visual Signs: stains or discoloration, peeling or bubling paint/wallpaper, sudden cracks in walls or ceilings
- Unusual Smells: musty odors often signal mold/mildew caused by water damage
- Physical Indicators: soft or spongy floors, rust or corrosion, sagging ceilings
- Unexplained Utility Changes: increased water bills, decreased water pressure can both indicate hidden leaks in your plumbing

Is my water or mold damage covered by insurance?
