Matt and his team were outstanding at helping me address black mold in my basement. They were calm, professional, and able to explain to me what was happening in the basement and what they were going to do about it. It was a several step process, and they were always on time, focused on their work, and very pleasant to have in my home. I especially appreciated being able to reach out to Matt with questions between the times that they were here. You could tell they were concerned with my health and safety as well as the integrity of my home. They will also be my first call when I’m ready for a rebuild.Posted on Google Eve LongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I would recommend them for any carpet cleaning you need done. I called them on a Wednesday to see about getting mine cleaned since my dog had major accidents all over the carpet. Ram Restoration worker Josh was there the next day and did an amazing quick job! So happy with the service and results.Posted on Google liv settaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ram Restoration did a phenomenal job when our basement flooded and we were in need of someone to come out and help us quickly. They identified how the flooding happened, worked very quickly to get it cleaned up, and were attentive to what was needing to be done. They throughly made sure we wouldn’t have any mold issues going forward as well. We couldn’t be more pleased with their service!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
