He was great about communicating before the visit, and arrived on time. He looked around and determined that the smells were most likely not mold but more likely sewer gas venting up from our pipes, a common issue that is easily and inexpensively dealt with. He also explained that older buildings are not very well insulated so we are getting odors of our neighbor's cooking (no offense guys but maybe get some new recipes.) With all that said, Darren advised us not to let anyone recommend mold treatment or try to sell us on an expensive environmental fix. He gave us some input on our homeowners insurance. And then he would not charge us for the visit. Who does that? I hope we never need the kind of services Darren's company provides, but if we did, he would be our first call. It's rare to find honest people these days especially with the economy the way it is now. Thanks Darren. less

After lab test reports came back from a third party lab, we found out that we definitely had a mold problem and needed to get it fixed ASAP. Fix My Home was the third company we called. I knew the moment I met ****** that he was very knowledgeable and explained in detail all of our options. The other two companies didn't seem to care as much and didn't explain the process to me. Fix My Home pricing was very reasonable and even better than the other two companies. ****** and his team were very professional at all times, always on time, and extremely clean. They worked on our home for about a week and each day they always made sure they left our home clean and safe, especially since we have kids. I'm thrilled to report that the mold was completely removed and we are now breathing clean air thanks to Fix My Home. I feel like this company went above and beyond. ****** also suggested and replaced all the filters in my HVAC (heater) since they were most likely contaminated. I highly recommend this company if you have any type of mold issue. less

I interviewed several companies for mold remediation. ****** from Fix My Home impressed me immediately. Not only was the mold removed and certificate of mold clearance issued, but my new dishwasher was installed. including replacing surrounding cabinet walls and flooring. In addition, ****** found a beautiful matching kitchen sink faucet which needed replacing as well. What a wonderful job! And I didn't need to call in someone else to install the new dishwasher nor did I need to find a carpenter. His team did it all. less

Their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our comfort, clarity of information, and job status have made us feel awesomely taken care of. I cannot conceive of a better experience dealing with issues that threatened to feel overwhelming, chaotic and complex. There's no one I would trust more. less

Wanting to cover our bases we had the house inspected so that we could be sure there weren't any nasty little surprises that could affect the baby's health once it arrives. Mold being a major concern as we have a lot of tall trees near the building. Sure enough, there was mold in a few of our walls and in the crawl space under the floor. Some of the quotes we got for the work made saving for college look like a breeze and some of the quotes that we could afford seemed a bit shady especially after looking at a few Yelp reviews. We were having such a hard time finding the right company to do the work that I just started asking friends if they had any recommendations and that's when we found out about Fix My Home. ****** came out for an estimate and appraisal he even found a few things that our original inspector missed (not to mention the half dozen or so contractors that went poking around too). Extremely knowledgeable and helpful ****** put us at ease and offered a great price for the work. I hope I never need their services again, but if I do there is only 1 place I will be going, Fix My Home. less

So, we needed to have the house inspected and found out that there was moisture damage in some load bearing parts of the house and some of the foundation had even been compromised. A new job opportunity, that has become huge opportunity, would not have been possible if it weren't for fix my home. They were able to clean up a lot of the mold and run tests on everything. At it turned out the damage wasn't nearly as bad as initially assumed, saving us a ton of money on repairs. Fix My Home came to the rescue, their work literally saved us. We were able to make the repairs needed to sell the house without having to lose money on the sale as a result. This allowed me to take the job offer and improve my family's situation in a huge way. Thank you, ******, you really saved the day! less

I have tried handymen in the past and this has meant some cheap and shoddy work in some cases, usually not a huge deal. Well folks, never skimp on a plumber, it's amazing how much damage a single pipe can do in the period of an evening. Fix My Home is an extremely professional and extremely competent outfit that was able to save me a lot of money by stopping the water damage in its tracks and saving my hard wood floors. I cannot recommend them enough! less

He is super responsive and professional, the kind of person you want to give business to because he is so nice and honest and knows his field.
We first met him last Feb when we had a water leak after the heavy rains. Water was dripping out of a light fixture into our bathroom on a Sunday morning and we knew we needed someone out ASAP. We went online and called a handful of people and Darren was the only one who called back right away. He was at our house within a few hours and assessed the issue, set up the containment and started the drying out process that day. He then tested the rest of our house for moisture to see if there were other leaks. It turned out the water was also leaking into our bedroom, so the next day he did the containment and drying out process again.
Darren was also great in helping determine the source of the leak and helping me understand the issues and what next steps were to fix it. It was a long road ahead for us after that, and although Darren’s job technically ended after the drying out process, he really helped me through that time. He gave me advice on dealing with insurance, shared insight into what he’s seen with other homes, put me in contact with his son (who is also excellent) to help with fixing the drywall and deck above where the leak was coming from, and checked in from time to time.
Another example was just recently, when our washing machine leaked. We immediately called Darren and he came over to assess the situation a few hours later. Luckily it turned out it wasn’t a big deal. He gave us some recommendations on how to handle and didn’t charge us for the visit.
I hope to never have another water related issue again, however if I do, I will absolutely call Darren at FMH. less

He was professional and I appreciated his honesty throughout the entire process. He and his crew were very professional! They were efficient and very hands-on. They come in and do their job all the while ensuring they don't mess anything up. They are on time and very approachable.
He was very diligent in making sure the repairs were done correctly and in timely fashion.
We are extremely satisfied with the work done and would recommend him for anyone that needs this type of work. less

Mold remediation is not a one-stop shop, it's a process. It involves testing, remediation, lab results, and sometimes rebuilding. I found Fix My Home on yelp and had gathered some estimates from other local companies. Darren and his son showed up to my house for the initial inspection and checked my kitchen (where the mold was found) and my bathrooms for moisture and leaks (just in case). The mold found was an old problem from a prior tenant; it was dried out and whiffing through the house. It became a health issue. The remediation itself took about 4-5 hours and the team was able to fix the root problem--cracked caulking on the sink and a draft near the pipes. Call Darren for an estimate, you will be impressed with the knowledge and care he takes in conducting business. We are still in contact about another problem area in my house, I am hoping to fix that soon too! less
