Professional and very responsive. I am an owner of a condo and had some water damage to the ceiling of my bathroom. Their response was rapid and flexible with my schedule. They were thorough in checking for mold before completing the repair. The final product was great. Afterward they arranged for a final cleaning of the area. Thank you to Tyler, Todd, mitigation and drywall crew and Tracy (final cleaning service) did a fantastic job.

I have never in my life experienced such sloppy and careless contractors in my life, and I'm seventy years old. It's evident that these Grinker employees act with impunity causing major damage to, the doors, sinks, hallways, and even the lawns. I would never, ever even consider hiring these contractors.

I am a property manager with Pre/3 and I cannot say enough incredible things about Sid Grinker Restoration, Inc. After a deeply traumatic event occurred in one of my apartments, I was overwhelmed and unsure how I would even begin to move forward. From the very first call, their team showed a level of compassion, professionalism, and care that immediately put me at ease. This was a situation that required not only technical expertise, but humanity — and every person involved delivered both at the highest level. Jerry, Russ, Rob, Gil, Axel, Robinson, Jose, Pedro, and Samantha’s team each played a role in turning an unthinkable situation into something manageable, respectful, and ultimately resolved with excellence. They handled an incredibly difficult situation with absolute discretion, respect, and humanity. The crew was meticulous, thorough, and extraordinarily skilled — the apartment was restored to a condition that exceeded my expectations in every possible way. You would never know anything had happened there. Their attention to detail was flawless. What truly sets Sid Grinker Restoration, Inc. apart is how they do their work. They don’t just restore properties — they restore peace of mind. Every interaction was calm, respectful, and reassuring. They communicated clearly, showed up exactly when they said they would, and treated the space (and the situation) with profound sensitivity. In a moment when I felt shaken and vulnerable, this team was a steady, professional, and deeply caring presence. I am profoundly grateful for their work and would recommend Sid Grinker Restoration, Inc. without hesitation to anyone facing an unthinkable situation. If you need a restoration company you can trust with both your property and your dignity, this is the one. Thank you for turning something painful into a path forward.

Recently, our condo management engaged the services of Sid Grinker Restoration to repair water damage in my condo. Tyler and his crew did an outstanding job with assessing the damage thoroughly, explaining the process in detail, and restoring the damaged area to its original condition. Tyler provided updates at every stage of the process and was always prompt with answering my questions. When the need arose, he went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule without impacting budget or timeline, for which I am very grateful. The entire crew was courteous, knowledgeable, experienced, worked diligently, and kept the workspace clean throughout the job. A special shout-out to Tyler and his team - Todd (Budget), Danny (Carpenter), Don / Arturo / Ryan (Framers), Sylvester (Dry Wall), Tracey (Cleaning) - for their expertise, professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction, which was very much appreciated. I was very happy with the service provided and would highly recommend their services. Their service is reliable, efficient, high-quality workmanship, and customer-focused.

We had a disastrous water damage issue in my sister in law's condo and was feeling completely overwhelmed. The condo association called in Sid Grinker Restoration and they were incredible from start to finished. Their team, led by Tyler Ramirez, arrived promptly and on schedule to address the water and mold problem. They were highly professional and really put our minds at ease. They worked hard to restore the affected areas and the results were even better than expected. They were patient with all of our questions and went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. We would recommend their services to others in need.

I had a devastating water damage in my condo from the unit above me bursting a plumbing pipe. Around 60% of my ceiling needed to be taken down and replaced, some wall damage, carpeting, etc. The condo association called in Sid Grinker Restoration and they were onsite conducting mitigation within hours of the incident. Their rebuild team, led by Tyler, was highly professional and worked hard and long to restore the affected areas. The results turned out great since my home was taken down to the studs and pretty much rebuilt from scratch. It’s like I have a brand new condo. I would recommend Sid Grinker and Tyler’s team for others in need of restoration.

What can I say! We noticed our floor was spongy and knew we had some type of water damage. Our first point of contact was Jerry. He is such an awesome guy! Explained the problem and the next day, Cat showed up. She went straight to work and found where the water was coming from. She opened up the floor and we saw all the water. That same day she had fans and a dehumidifier delivered. Then she had the carpenters come (Mike and Keith) put a temporary floor in order for me to be able to use my walker and not trip. Now that everything was dry Mike and Keith came back and did an amazing job on installing the permanent floor. They also fixed a few things that another company had damaged. They did beautiful work! We are so happy with everyone! From Jerry to Cat to Mike and Keith on how friendly and professional they were. Kudos to you guys for being who you are! Mike and Fran

August 4, 2025. Major flooding in the area. That was a Saturday. Sunday morning, your group was here and on the job. Removing the water, and installing fans and dehumidifier. With all of the great work, I feel I have new apartment. I am in what is called a Garden Apartment. First floor. Everyone very professional! There are a lot of apartments in this computer, but it is getting done. Thank you!!!

This company has been with our apartment complex since the August 2025 floods and have handled all aspects of clean up and restoration. It's taken awhile because there are so many units to work on but they keep us informed. They are ALL polite, they clean up after each project, they let me know when they're coming and when they're done with each step. They've all worked SO HARD. The restorations are just stunning. Beautiful. And they're not even done yet. Also, I've heard some neighbors verbally abusing the workers. It's just been awful. Selfishness, paranoia, and racial slurs, and yet the workers have remained calm and polite. I don't know if I could do that. To me, that's above and beyond. Kudos to the guys and gals. Love and appreciation to you all.
