Found water leaking from my garage floor and shared wall to the kitchen. Called IRP as trusted this resource as I had hired them previously for a small mold remediation job. I was happy with their work.I called and spoke to Jose, the Mitigation Dept. Manager, and he came right away to assess where the water was leaking from.The mitigation team, immediately followed: Daniel, Eddie and Jered. It was a hot water pipe the under the kitchen slab. The team got to work setting up the equipment and removing doors, tile flooring, cabinets, counters to run the blowers to dry. The team was very organized, worked in unison to get the job done. They were extremely professional, respectful, and compassionate, if there was a rating system of 10, I would give them a 10.This part 1 of my post. Part 2 will follow soon!

Mike, Jose and Eddy and the IRP team absolutely exceeded all expectations. They were so knowledgeable, thoughtful, professional and considerate throughout every step of the process. I was so impressed with how thorough and efficient the team operated and how well they communicated with me throughout the project. I can’t thank them enough for how helpful they were and for remedying a stressful situation.

From start to finish I've been so impressed by the entire company. We had a washer leak from the 3rd floor and needed water remediation and restoration. Not ever having gone through something like this, I got 3 quotes and IRP was the most affordable and thorough. I could tell just by speaking to Jose that he was more professional and ethical than the 2 other companies. Jose has been great at communication, all the workers were friendly and efficient, and the work was done so quickly and properly. Grant helped with the restoration and I feel so relieved that its done correctly. I would definitely recommend this company.

IRP restoration helped me get thru a stressful flooding from a neighbors unit. Anna Schmidt immediately guided me thru the process and was professional and compassionate for what I was going thru. She checked in on my satisfaction and always made herself available to questions I might have . In fact every person that works for this company was great from start to finish. THANK YOU IRP TO HAVING A GREAT CREW , & for putting my condo back together …. Janette

We had not just one, but TWO slab leaks just recently to our small condo! Unfortunately, we have had other slab leaks in just a short amount of time! Fortunately, we contacted IRP for a second opinion as we were very unsatisfied with the work that the first contractor was doing. IRP's staff (specifically Jose, Grant, and Mike) has been instrumental in answering all of our questions. IRP's assessment and estimate was prompt, professional and reasonable. IRP will be able to take you from A to Z- from start to finish! If you are ever in need of any kind of mitigation or restoration work in your home, IRP is the only company that you will ever need to call! You won't regret it!

Jose and his team at IRP were terrific. We had no idea who to call to take care of a huge mold problem resulting from a leaky roof in a bedroom. Jose responded to my request for an estimate immediately and came to my house the next day. He was able to determine the extent of the mold/water damage and gave us a clear explanation of the process to remove the mold. Jose was always friendly, professional, and ready to answer our questions. We were very pleased with the work done in the bedroom and with IRP's work ethic. They showed up exactly when they said they would and did a thorough job. I highly recommend IRP's services.

I was in an urgent need to get a company to give me an estimate on my property due to water damage from an upstairs unit. Confused and not knowing where to start since my Insurance was not being responsive I began googling. I reached out to a local business who recommended me to this company. The owner answered my call and assured me they would be able to take it from there. On the same day he had his company come out and provide me with an estimate. Something the insurance company couldn't do in 3 weeks. I am so impressed with their professionalism and urgency. Their estimate was by far the best. If you find yourself in the same situation I was in don't hesitate to call.

I had a great experience with IRP! Jose was so kind and patient with my situation. He calmed me down and walked me through every step of the process. He was always very responsive and on time. His technicians were efficient and timely and worked well around my work from home meeting schedule. Thanks IRP! I would recommend them to anyone 10/10.

IRP were truly a great company to work with. We had a leak under the kitchen sink and the plumbers who were fixing it recommended IRP to help with the drying out / repair process. José was awesome - he came out straight away, and was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. He was up front about the options and the pricing, and proposed a step by step approach. He came out several times to monitor the situation as we went along. He and the team were careful to protect the floors etc as they set up the equipment, and cleaned up after themselves. Overall a really positive interaction and I would 100% recommend the IRP team!

Jose Reyes and his team at IRP were very professional to my elderly mother during her water damage. Jose took the time to make sure my mother and myself were kept in the loop of communications from start to finish. It was not a big job. But it was handled with care and top notch professionalism. Thank You Jose and IRP Hopefully we will never need your services again. If we do..Jose & IRP will be who we call.

We had an electrical fire and the first company was slow and then accidentally flooded our first floor. I switched to IRP and in 4 days they did more than the other company did in a month.Also, they were all knowledgeable and professional! Pancho, Jose and their entire team were great. I highly recommend them.

IRP came at the recommendation of my plumbers and did excellent work taking out and restoring both of my tiled bathroom floors that sustained water damage. I also had them do a little extra work in the bathrooms while they were here.It was really great working with everyone at IRP throughout the whole process. Thanks to David and crew on demo and dryout, and thanks to Grant, Brent, and crew on the reconstruction.I'd also like call out Derek who did most of the work putting in the new flooring. Great guy and really knows what he's doing. The new floors look way better than what was there before.Highly recommended, thanks!

I had a major pipe burst on the night of December 23rd. IRP was there within an hour, even considering the late hour. Dave, Angel and Jose had the water pumped out, dehumidifiers set up, and the area sealed off so we could enjoy Christmas. The restoration team was equally amazing, with Derek, Sergio and Norberto performing amazing work restoring the walls to a condition better than original! I would definitely recommend this business for plumbing and restoration.

The last thing you want to come home to from a stay-cation is a flooded house... What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend turned into a nightmare when a kitchen sink leaked soaking my kitchen and living room. I called IRP and Dave the manager came promptly, he accessed the situation and set equipment. Colton and Jose were next on the job and showed up and showed out! They didn’t waste any time getting the job done! They were professional and friendly and talked me through every step, making the process run so smoothly. It’s nice to know there are still genuine people in this world. I would recommend IRP time and time again. I am so thankful for this company for going above and beyond to reach my expectations.

We used IRP for a bathroom remodel in our home. We consulted with 3-4 other contractors before selecting IRP, attention to detail and professionalism were the main reasons.From our first meeting with Mike and Brent we realized they were going to be the best fit for us. The down to the penny proposal they created was far more complete than any other proposal we had received.From start to finish every employee was always on time, very professional and thorough. Derek did a great job with all of the tile work, Erin and Tony handled so many different aspects of the job like it was their own home.The job was on budget, on time and done exactly as we had hoped. We look forward to working with IRP in the future and would highly recommend them.

IRP made my dream kitchen come to life from big picture down to every little detail. It started when I woke up on a Saturday morning with a flood in my kitchen and what started out as a nightmare ended with the kitchen and first floor remodel of my dreams thanks to IRP, Mike and his entire crew. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone for the first time, to the very last day of my job being finished, and the several times he’s checked up on me since that day; every contact with Mike or member of his crew has been professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. He worked with me, he assisted with my insurance, as well as staying within my out-of-pocket budget. He solves problems quickly and efficiently. I have full confidence in every piece of work that was done and every vendor or subcontractor that was used for different part of my remodel. I would highly recommend this company for any work you may need done.

My wife and I had a pipe burst underneath our living room slab. After finding that the pipe belonged to our upstairs neighbors unit, we were now dealing with a flooded unit and a very uncooperative insurance adjuster. Not knowing where to turn to since our insurance company refused to help, our neighbor recommended we contact IRP. This was the best decision we could have made. After speaking to Mike Bartholomew and explaining our position, he immediately knew how to handle the situation. He and his team were extremely knowledgeable and took our case close to heart. He is a pleasure to speak with and always tries his best to accommodate his customers. IRP is a small business with great customer service and you have gained 2 new customers for life.

I really can't say enough about the thoughtful and comprehensive work produced by IRP. I have found that often a company and the work they produce is a direct reflection of management and that is certainly the case with IRP. Not only is Mike Bartholomew only of the most stand up and upfront professionals I have worked with, he also brings a top level of expertise and creativity to a number of different project types and associated repair solutions. Dealing with repairs can be a daunting experience but Mike was attentive and available throughout the process and the finished product exceeded expectations. I would recommend IRP to friends and family without hesitation.

Most recently we returned from church to discover a flood of the entire downstairs of our home. Years before, I had been absolutely satisfied in working with the owner of IRP, Michael Bartholomew. I called him immediately. In less than an hour, on a Suday afternoon, he had his team at my home with all of the necessary equipment to evacuate the water, and begin the restoration process. Working with my insurance company, IRP got everything back to normal. Don't take a chance with an ordinary general contractor! You need a very specialized team that restores properties after any kind of major damage to your home. I wish I could give IRP a 6 STAR Review. Dr. Roger Minkle

I love working with a vendor who has a lot of integrity like Mike. Too often we been overcharged for work or given estimates that are out of control. You definitely won't find that with Mike and his team at independent restoration professionals.

Mike and his team at IRP are incredible. In the past, I have had to deal with so many Restoration Companies that take advantage of homeowners in bad situations. What I love about Mike is that he is honest, trustworthy, and will tell you like it is. We have now used him on three different occasions. In one of the instances, he was able to guide the homeowner without overcharging them just to step in.We are so happy to have found IRP and looking forward to calling them first in our next crisis! Thanks for all that you do Mike!
