Our clients say:

"Quick, professional and friendly. Because I was upset and concerned with a service coming into my home when I would be gone, the owner Mike Carey came out to my house that evening. What a relief!!! I need not have been concerned. The ServiceMASTER employees were exceptional."

"Having a house fire is a major life event. In the thrust of the disaster, you are faced with so many decisions and issues at one time. The emotions run from getting the task at hand of re-grouping your life – finding a place to live, settling your family in temporary quarters and dealing with the trauma, maintaining your work schedule and demands, contacting the insurance company and beginning what will likely be a six month to one year process of restoring your home and your possessions, the list goes on.

Faced with those overwhelming decisions one at a time let alone all at once is at the core of determining what outside restoration process will best meet your needs. In our recent August 2006 house fire, we quickly had to evaluate next steps. Those steps included securing our house and preventing further damage, getting any personal or valuable items protected from our household contents, and figuring out how we were going to have the insurance process proceed and what contractors we would use.

We quickly identified that locally there are very few companies with the experience, expertise, and ability to perform this function on an overall basis. Carey Contracting and ServiceMASTER offered us that solution. They were able to secure the premise, make sure no additional damage was occurring, and very handily took control of the direction of the insurance process. They are equipped with the ability to take the situation and not only manage it but direct the process. This from our experience provides immediate representation with the insurance company. Many people in their delay to determine what they are going to do and getting the data to arrive and rebuild, refurbish, or take a cash settlement give up their authority to their insurance company because they simply don’t understand the process.

This did not happen here. Carey’s expertise and professionalism aligned our insurance adjusters function with our desires with a proactive third party (Carey) marshalling the process. Carey Contracting worked closely with our insurance company to determine appropriate replacement cost and damages within weeks of our loss. That allowed construction to begin nearly immediately, resulted in us getting the repair/replacement cost of our home that we had coming to us and getting us back into our house as quickly as possible. The selection of subcontractors and the bidding process resulted in the best possible home restoration we could have imagined. We are convinced that being a general contractor out of necessity for yourself in this area would have been piecemeal – not only in the time personally you would have to dedicate, but you would be in way over your head.

Whether a fire or a voluntary restoration project, you are taking on a very complex and lengthy process with a significant amount of money being spent. Doing it right the first time and qualifying your outside professionals is essential to a success project. Our experience from beginning to end with Carey was positive. They work in a win-win manner and do a top rate job."
