I needed the walls and ceiling in my kitchen to be removed due to a water leak from the unit above me. They were super cautious of my furniture and covered everything with plastic. I hired them to do my reconstruction as well and am extremely happy with my new cabinets! Barney Cruz2024-03-21 I had 4 inches of standing water in my basement.

The crew is professional and thorough cleaners. I highly Service Master. Andres Ortiz2023-12-17 While we were out of town our vanity mirror fell and turned on our sink faucet. Water was running for days, we're not sure when it happened, the fire department was alerted when the house sensors got wet and set off the alarms. our neighbor came over when she saw the fire department. We were called immediately. Our agent highly recommended neil at service master. He came out with a huge team and a general manager. I felt very comfortable with him and all office staff to get the job done while we were still out of town. My neighbor checked in on them until we returned. 80% of my entire house was gutted. I have a lot of custom wall paneling, crown molding and trim. They were able to save it all. They also did my packout and duct work cleaning. Everyone at service master was extremely knowledgeable and professionaland very helpful. Maurice Williams2023-12-09 I had a burst pipe in the middle of the night and one of my guest rooms was damaged. Service Master was able to get a crew to me first thing in the morning. Everyone was super helpful and treated my home as if it was their own while doing the necessary work. Aden Zrod2023-12-09 A week after I purchased this property it flooded with 12 inches of water. The previous owner left the basement full of stuff that was ruined by the flood. It was all getting thrown away but now the process was even harder. My State Farm insurance agent had a Servicemaster rep give me a call because I wanted to opt out of flood insurance. It was only a courtesy call to explain the process of mitigating and repairing a flooded basement. I reluctantly signed up for flood insurance just in case....Oh man I am glad I did; this flood situation was a nightmare, and the additional expenses would have been devastating if I didn't have insurance. I immediately called them after all my failed attempts of trying to get the water out. That 15 minute-call saved me thousands of dollars. Servicemaster by zaba rocks! the team was great and they saved me a huge headache. I highly recommend them and I am so grateful for my State Farm agent.

FAQs
Why is it important to repair fringe on an Oriental rug?
Oriental rug fringe is more than decoration. It’s a part of the rug structure composed of vertical threads running through the rug. Well-maintained fringe helps keep the entire rug in good shape.
Is my Oriental rug worth repair and restoration?
Most area rugs can be repaired and restored so that they retain their value. Weigh repair costs against the expense of replacement as well as the value of sentimental or historic loss.
How much does it cost to repair an area rug?
Size, material, age and damage vary. It’s difficult to give an estimate based on square footage alone. The best area rug restoration contractors offer on-site quotes.
