Five Stars RestorationMold Remediation in Richmond, VA

Gani and his team were incredible. We had significant water damage in our finished basement and felt hopeless. Five Star Restoration made it look as good as new. They were efficient, cleaned up after themselves, and were reasonably priced. Would 10/10 recommend.

Edit: the response is a lie, we did in fact have a detailed conversation with the owner about the damages. Do not trust the other reviews for this company. I strongly recommend not hiring Five Stars Restoration. We hired them to clean up and repair water damage in our home based on their positive reviews, but the experience was extremely disappointing. The initial cleanup team did a good job drying out our crawlspace—especially Lester. However, once the repair phase began under owner Gani Berisha, the experience deteriorated quickly. Communication was poor from the start. After the drying process, we waited weeks with little to no updates. When Gani finally visited, he seemed unfamiliar with the project and focused mainly on upselling upgrades because insurance was paying, even suggesting LVP flooring despite our home having hardwood. Once repairs began, communication continued to be difficult. We had to repeatedly request updates, which were often ignored or met with frustration. While we were staying in an Airbnb, we were suddenly given one hour to choose between two floor stain options—neither matching our original floors—and had received no prior notice that a decision was needed that day. When I called to ask about additional options or samples, Gani became irate and dismissive. Eventually, the subcontracted flooring company provided several proper stain samples, which resolved the issue. Throughout the project, the work felt rushed and we had to repeatedly point out problems that needed fixing. The project also ran later than promised. When we finally moved back into our home, we discovered several issues: one of our lamps had been broken, paint was on our Dyson vacuum, and one of the bathrooms had been left in extremely unsanitary condition. When we raised this with Gani, he told us he would submit another claim to our insurance company so we could receive a check to cover the damaged items, rather than his company reimbursing us directly. Overall, this was one of the worst contractor experiences we’ve had. Based on the poor communication, lack of professionalism, and how issues were handled, we would not recommend working with this company.

Five Stars Restoration helped us through the process of restoring our home after a broken water pipe caused massive flooding. They were there on the day it happened to begin the mitigation of the water damage and continued to serve our needs through the entire restoration. Every crew and individual who worked on the carpet and LVT flooring, the painting and cabinetry, and the removal and replacement of furniture were top-tier professionals who took pride in their craft. The owner of the company made several in-person visits to make sure that all of our needs and desires were satisfied, and that the work was done quickly with high quality. The office staff was also very helpful in navigating the insurance jungle and exhibited great patience in those dealings. We were, and still are, 100% satisfied, pleased, and thankful to Five Stars Restoration for their outstanding service in our time of need.
