    Our fire happened February 24, 2024. It took about 3 months to get through the cataloging process with insurance. Paul Davis began demolition in late May. The house was not deemed a total loss... Just a gut to the outer walls. They handled all the contractors and the insurance company. I found having a text conversation with my Paul Davis team easiest. Dan, Steve and Cory were the best! They were busy with many projects, so leaving messages for them to answer and vise versa allowed us all to be responsive and stay on track. We were able to make changes to improve our home for living today within what insurance allowed and at our expense, but they always communicated with us our options. Fast forward to February 2025, I now have a beautiful home thanks to their expertise.

    Bridget and Kayla arrived at my condo on time and proceeded to remove tile from my bathroom floor. A crew had come in earlier to remove the ceiling from my finished basement because mold stains were visible. It was determined that the toilet in my guest bathroom toilet had leaked causing the mold problem. Bridget and Kayla placed fans in the basement to insure that the rafters above the finished ceiling would be completely dry before the ceiling was replaced. A great job was completed and give this mitigation crew an A plus. I am hoping that the restoration crew will be as good.

      I highly recommend using Paul Davis company. I was dealing with an insurance claim and this company was recommended by my insurance broker. The mitigation team included Richard and Randle and Emilio completed the work. The project Manager was Clayton. All repairs have now been completed, and the whole team went above and beyond to return my kitchen to its original condition before the water damage occurred. I dealt mainly with the project manager and was impressed with the promptness with which my questions were answered, and the promptness with which the service was completed. Paul Davis Company turned a stressful situation into a pleasant transaction of services and truly went above and beyond.

      I highly recommend Paul Davis of Mobile for your emergency needs. Stuart and his team responded immediately the morning of May 17, 2024. Paul Davis of Mobile reassured me that they would take care of things and they did so without hesitation! They came with many fans and dehumidifiers to dry my flooded floors. They checked daily to measure the moisture and monitor the progress. Everyone was very professional and efficient while addressing any and all of my concerns. Everyone was very polite and considerate while working in my home. This was the very first time I had to contact a professional service and I am most grateful for Paul Davis of Mobile. I highly recommend Stuart and his crew. Thank you Paul Davis of Mobile. J.**

      I had a dishwasher leak that went all over the kitchen under the snap and lock floors and also down into the basement. I had black mold growing in the basement and also in the kitchen. Devin, Sebastian, Austin and Anthony from the mitigation team did a fabulous job of getting everything tore out, the water cleaned up and lastly hit it with the mold spray, and set the Dehu, air scrubber and fans. They worked efficiently (and together) communicating with us and each other. They worked very hard to get everything done quickly. Their Mitigation PM Kelly was very good and quickly got everything over to USAA for a quick approval. I was waiting on Restoration to get to the house and start the process of getting an estimate together and sending the estimate to USAA and putting the Kitchen back in order so that I could feed my disabled Step-son. When I had not heard anything, Kelly got me over to the PM Anthony from Restoration.

      The information that I received was that Anthony did not want to do my job putting me off another 2 days of getting an estimate over to USAA. I was reassigned to Delialiah and Russell and he is coming over on Thursday. I am not please at all with Anthony's behavior. This is nothing new, this is how he acted at Servicemaster. However, Cody is a dream, and anyone would be lucky to have him come to there home and help them. Paul Davis would be wise to understand that USAA probably in the end will pay around 32,000 for this claim, and to be shoved around by an arrogant, paronoid, and overall mean spirited human being is crazy when I am paying you a nice pay day for 1 claim.

      My experience. Came day after basement flooded on a Saturday. 3 employees stayed no more than 45 minutes with no equipment stating we did all their work. They said that evening the fans would be coming. Two days later no fans showed up so I told them services no longer wanted as there was no service from them. A couple days after that truck shows up with fans. I stopped them says I fired the company. I normally won’t write a review but after getting a bill for work not done my insurance had to paid over $2000. All this was documented. Heck they tried to say in photos the equipment belonged to their workers, unfortunately everything was my personal equipment. This is just my interaction.

      Hot water line leak under the house it was repaired by plumber. PD came out, obvious mold under the house and in garage. (This was a Friday). Communicated with our insurance and adjuster sent it back in. No fans, dehumidifier, insulation taken out that was ALL soaked. No communication throughout the weekend. I called on Monday (President's Day), they responded they never heard from insurance company. Get in touch with insurance company and they are told they had "computer issues", and they would call me back immediately. Nothing.....

      Tuesday afternoon I call THEM (Paul Davis-PD) and they said they were going to schedule a hygenist to evaluate the mold. I had to ask for a rapid response since it had been now 4 days with nothing. Hygienist calls and scheduled for 2/21 at 1200. A WEEK Later. Meanwhile Bravado Group (construction company) has communicated daily and said they would come out to see the damage. They were Johnny on the Spot and were in disbelief NOTHING had been done. No drying except them PD telling me to leave crawl space door open! Please don't use this company.

      Don’t use this company ever. This company was sent to me by my insurance company as a provider they use. If your insurance company brings company name up do not even call them. They quoted me for a small roof repair, drywall and three locations of my house and minimal painting as a two day job. The first red flag should’ve been when their own employee showed up for the first day and already apologized for the delays as well as improved me of all the other complaints he had hear with the company and taking far too long to complete work. So clearly an ongoing problem. But I had already booked and paid them. Paul Davis did the remediation work in mid December, opening/cutting holes in my ceilings on 3 different room spanning all three levels of my home.

      They found mold in one portion, took it out and left it in my house on the floor below the removal area for over two months. I had to call several times politely and then finally giving them an ultimatum. Then finally on Feb 17th the hazardous materials were taken out of my house. The reconstruction was not scheduled for another month after. They were supposed to start the reconstruction on Jan 7th. They didn’t show for multiple days on the first schedule and didn’t call to let me know that. I had to keep calling each day to ask if they were coming or not. I had to keep calling and asking to find out a schedule. I was told multiple times it was a two day job. They were there two days just for the initial Roof repair. They did not even start in any of the reconstruction inside my house.

      After two days of the roof work, they never showed back up again. Still to this day have not returned to complete the inside construction work from the quote. It is February 20th. Almost 2 month later. I called the office, the project manager, and attempted to get the estimator on the phone multiple times a week for 3 to 4 weeks just to find out I was lied to the entire time. I was initially told they weren’t coming back because they were waiting for insurance quotes for add-on work. After I finally got in touch with the estimator four weeks later, he told me that none that was happening. They had to actually do the work and start repairing everything to see what was even there if there need to be insurance adjustment.

      I have tried to call multiple staff several times a week multiple times each day at points to still rarely ever get responses. I finally asked to have my money back since they did not work. Only then did they try to win me back and offer me discount on the very minimal work that was already done in order to keep them on the project. I refused and now for the fifth time requested somebody with authority call me back to cancel it and get a refund.

      When I finally got that call back today I was told I was being mean to the receptionist for demanding work be done and wanting answers for not doing any work, lying to me and not returning almost all of my calls for x months. Just like with the mold removal I called dozens of times politely trying to get answers and work done that was already scheduled. And I was fed up and demanding action again. They finally called me back and claimed I would get a refund. We will see. Ironically the same receptionist that I was dreaming answers from would call me every day when they were trying to get me to sign the contract to pay them, but as soon as I had questions couldn’t ever call me back.

      I have had to get the BBB, insurance company and lawyers involved over a simple insurance repair. Therefore, I cannot stress enough to never call Paul Davis for any work. I don’t know how they are even still in business with how they conduct business and horrible customer services. And as I have researched more now I am seeing all the other bad reviews. No good ones. So hopefully they won’t be much longer.

      I can’t even begin to explain the horrifying experience with Paul Davis. I used them because they are an approved vendor with USAA. I didn’t do my normal practice of looking at reviews because hey it’s a USAA VENDOR. First off it took 4 almost months to even get started. The project manager was rude and disrespectful to my wife…. She told him not to use the front entrance and he didn’t it anyway and damaged our storm door. I confronted him over it and he plead ignorance.

      So, fast forward to December when the project finally got started I have cameras everywhere…. They didn’t cover anything up, floors, furniture, nothing. I called to complain and requested a new contract manager and they came in after that complaint and covered the floors. Davis restoration subcontracts their labor so I’m certain the people they had working in here unsupervised were illegals. Which I also called them out on… They ignored me. They didn’t even have the standard construction tool….benches to saw on. You know regular home construction stuff…

      They were doing their cutting on my grass until I called them out on that…. But didn’t have coverage in the bathroom they were working on but I’m sure they were sawing in bathroom and didn’t cut the thermostat off and all the dust got sucked up into my vents and covered my entire house in construction dust. My whole point of this is that hopefully someone reads this and doesn’t use them and they lose so much business they close. In the defense of the illegal aliens that did the labor….despite not having the tools their craftsmanship was decent.
