What Our Clients Say About Action Restoration

5 stars rating
Alex Keller

“WE engaged Patrick and his team to install two very robust slabs for our custom log home new build. He was very fair on price and went out of his way to ensure the final product was top quality.

Due to the nature of the job, he also graciously accommodated numerous changes, worked through intense heat conditions and was personally on the site every day (often for 12+ hours) to keep the project on track. We highly recommend working with Patrick. You won’t be disappointed.”

“I could not be more appreciative of the customer service and advice provided by Patrick. I was urgently seeking an evaluation of a garage structure and slab the week before Christmas and Patrick was responsive, made time to evaluate the project , provided timely professional advices and estimated the same day. He was friendly, customer oriented and was able to clearly communicate on issues at hand and deliver a plan to rectify them.

I would HIGHLY recommend Patrick and Action Restoration for all your foundation and concrete needs. Great company and great guy!!!”

“Great person to work with. He was on site every day. The job was done promptly and professionally. The job was originally a repair to the basement slab, but discovered the underlining with the foundation. No one wants to ear that the job is bigger than originally anticipated, but Pat proposed options and fixed the problems that needed fixing. I have full confidence in the repair and 100% recommend him for concrete and foundation repairs”
