Customer Reviews

Not enough stars to give the rating he deserves. Tom was recommended years ago by a public adjuster after major flooding (Hurricane Irene). Well a month ago a tree fell on our house & the public adjuster again contacted Tom. It was just peace of mind knowing he would handle the entire water issue promptly & efficiently. He showed up the next morning with air blowers, air scrubbers & dehumidifiers. Within less than an hour the house was on its way back to being restored. Wouldn’t you know it the house was hit was a flash flood 2 weeks later. Again Tom was contacted, and it was just amazing to watch how quickly he and crew cleaned the entire site. If you ever feel lost in water damage situation, you can feel confident contacting Scavello Restoration – I did & would certainly do it again.

I needed my parents basement cleaned out in order to sell it and Tom returned my call quickly and we met within hours. This was no easy job, involving water damage, mold and trash removal. He took on the task, communicated throughout and was fairly priced. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely use Tom’s company again when needed.

I needed a bunch of towel bars, mirrors, and bi-fold closet doors hung, new dryer vent installed, and a door planed down. AND I needed it in a HURRY! My husband promised a tenant he would do it soon, and ‘soon’ extended waaay too long. Tenant was super unhappy. I called Tom, just from looking up people online. I think it was a God-thing: one call, Tom answered, was able to show up the next day, gave me a very fair price, showed up not just on time, but a few minutes early, then did EVERYTHING that was needed. He was super knowledgeable. He was careful (wore shoe covers in the house to protect the rugs), incredibly efficient, had good suggestions for the job. His work was neat and precise. I would hire him again in a minute for any job that he was willing to accept. After we left, tenant texted me and was absolutely delighted with everything! So having Tom do the work was a TOTAL success!

I hired this contractor to handle a renovation on behalf of one of my sellers. Tom was a consummate professional throughout the extensive entire renovation process! He did what he said he was going to do WHEN he said he was going to do it! Super impressed with the quality of craftsmanship & his responsiveness. I would absolutely hire him again.

Tom did an excellent job on repairing drywall in my house that had to be accessed for plumbing repairs. He came within 2 days of the initial call and completely repaired the holes back to new. In fact, he added in some repair of water damaged drywall next to it. Very professional and nice. Very reasonably priced. I will call him first for any future repairs.

If you have any type of water damage, you’ve found the right people. Last week my basement was flooded with water from a sump pump failure. I called Scavello Restoration and Tom was at my front door in less than 45 min. Tom was able to figure out exactly what happened in a matter of minutes. I then called my insurance agent and Tom got to work. He had all the carpet, padding, and water out of my basement in about 3.5 hours. All the fans and dehumidifiers were also setup. The next day Tom installed a new sump pump (which he didn’t have to do) and also cut the bottom of the dry wall to check for mold. A couple days later he promptly showed up to remove all the fans and dehumidifiers before the insurance adjuster showed up.

During the evaluation, my insurance adjuster even commented on how well of a job Tom did. He said that most companies can destroy dry wall and that Tom’s work was very professional. I was lucky I had insurance to cover all my damages but even if I didn’t I feel like Tom and Scavello Restoration would have been the right choice to make. I will be recommending Scavello to all my friends and family. I even gave his card to my insurance agent so that he can recommend Scavello to his clients. Thanks you so much Tom for making this very stressful situation feel not stressful at all!

We had a water pipe break in our basement. While looking for professional company to help, my husband and son drained some of the water. This led to a a strip plug heating up and almost set the sofa on fire! Tom and his assistant were professional, talented, neat , and clean. They assisted us promptly in the evening to prevent more damage to our home. Thanks is not enough!

Tom and his associate did a fantastic job on the flooring in our basement. We had water that ruined some drywall and carpet. He took care of the water damage, waiting on us to make sure we would not get additional water, and did a superior job repairing and replacing the damage.
Very professional, prompt, and neat. I will definitely use Scavello Restoration on any future projects.

We hired Tom to do a home clean out. He was polite, helpful & easy to work with. I would not hesitate to hire him again!

I contacted Scavello Restoration to clean up my basement after a sewage backup. They were able to respond in less than 24 hours and made a horrible situation hassle free. Professional, courteous, and thorough. They were receptive to the fact that many of my belongings were salvageable, fragile and had to be handled with care. They also assisted with the disposal process of the items that were ruined, and that I needed to painstakingly catalog everything for my insurance claim. The clean up was amazing. Highly recommend!

This company came out in 90 minutes and were fantastic to work with. Very responsive and extremely professional. The technicians were very thorough with their inspection, and he had knowledge on other home matters. You got the whole package with one stop shopping, they really do everything to ensure your home is protected from an uncertain event. priced very reasonably. They were even kind enough to get rid of the primary problem with the gutters being backed up with foliage.

About a month ago we had leak from our bathroom going into the garage (directly below it). We were unsure what caused the leak or what we would need to do to fix it. We contacted Scavello Restoration for an estimate and were really impressed with Tom’s experience, ability to explain the options and professionalism and decided to work with them on our issue.

Tom was able to identify the cause of the leak and provide us with good solution in order to fix and prevent the leak from occurring again. He had to open the ceiling, remove the insulation, and took care to make sure everything was cleaned up and disposed of properly before he left. He was prompt/on-time and communicative through out the process so we understood what was going on/needed which we really appreciated. He took the time and care to make sure the job was done correctly (contrary to our experience w/some other contractors). We would HIGHLY recommend Scavello Restoration for any work you may need done. Bonus- He was also very reasonably priced as well!

Outstanding! We had to remove more than we initially asked for. They re-quoted reasonably on the spot and took it all! We will definitely call them for our next removal project. Thank you Scavello Restoration!

I had a terrible water leak back at the end of June. It destroyed 3 floors of my house. I had never dealt with something like this. I found Scavello Restoration online and Tom came out the very next day. He did the dry out the day after that. He was quick and efficient. I live in an HOA community so the road to getting my claim paid took 6 months. Tom was super helpful to me with this process as well.

Finally this past November I got the go ahead to fix the damage. Tom came out the next week and started the renovation. He did everything in 2 weeks. It was a lot to do and I asked Tom to do a few extras things around my house that were not part of the leak and he did them all for me. I truly lucked out with Tom. My first experience with something like this and Tom was so helpful and patient with me.

I would recommend him to anyone who needs work done. I will definitely use Scavello Restoration in the future. My house looks fantastic. The finished product is beautiful. Thanks Tom, you are the best.

We had water leaking into the second floor from ice dams on our roof. Tom Scavello came out immediately to evaluate it and help us start drying out, and did everything necessary to clean it up and repair the damage very quickly. The drywall and paint that needed to be replaced looks like new (about a 30′ x 2′ section). The cost of repairs were reasonable (actually less than I expected, but in line with what the insurance adjuster predicted).

I called on a Friday afternoon to inquire about some minor home repairs including replacing smoke alarms, installing a new faucet, light fixtures and interior painting. Tom called me back on Monday and came over the next day to assess the work. He quickly provided an estimate and completed the work within 2 weeks of the initial call. Tom is a joy to work with. He’s extremely responsive, his work is high quality at a fair price. I would recommend him to anyone who needs work done. He’s great!

Whom It May Concern,

I would like to recommend Tom Scavello restoration for any and all of your flood, fire, or storm damage clean up and restoration needs. I have been subcontracting their services for three years now, and I have never been disappointed in either the quality of the work or the amount we’ve paid.

Tom and his team are dedicated and professional. They arrive on time for scheduled appointments, and they always have the proper equipment to get the job done quickly and seamlessly and, most importantly for a restoration crew, the facility actually feels as if the damage never occurred when they’re finished with the service.

In my 20 years in the commercial maintenance industry I have used several different restoration companies big and small. Scavello restoration, by a wide margin, has provided us with the best overall service and support. We have subcontracted interior sewer and water backups ranging from 500 square feet to 25’000 square feet, and Scavello’s service has been consistent throughout. If you choose Scavello Restoration to provide services for you, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I am writing this letter as a testament to the many ways your company helped my family in the aftermath of a hurricane. Hurricane Sandy left my family without a summer home. In its place sat a tilting structure, with mud and debris filling spaces we laughed in for over ten years. We worked multiple jobs to afford the house, and in one day, it was destroyed. The stress of not knowing what to do or where to turn was overwhelming. Then, I had the good fortune to call on your company. I cannot express my gratitude in simple words. You provided the utmost professionalism, kindness, and practical solutions to minimize the impact this disaster had on not only our property but on our emotional stress as well. I wanted to write this letter, hoping it will help others to know who to turn to in a time of need. Your thorough knowledge of the restoration business allowed us to maximize our insurance claim, taking away stress, and much of the worry we faced.

I found it amazing that you returned to our property on multiple occasions, over two hours from your own home, to meet with structural engineers, insurance adjusters, and code enforcement people. The amount of time, away from your own family, to help mine was beyond anything anticipated. I am so thankful for your ability to point out damages, previously missed by not only insurance adjusters, but engineers as well. People should understand what a benefit it is having you as ally, not just a professional on the scene, to help restore property after a disaster. It was beyond anything I could have hoped for, and I will always appreciate your efforts. You are not just a professional with the utmost competency in the field, you’re a kind person. I cannot thank you enough and will happily serve as a reference for you. Thanks for everything! I hope the wild squirrel you encountered (which almost attacked you) doesn’t give you nightmares! Your good humor made us laugh when we needed it the most.

Thanks to Ed , our kitchen is back to normal. We used to give our doggie a bath in the upstairs shower, and there was a small leak that we had to check plumbing for. Thankfully, the pipes were not busted, but the ceiling ended up being that way. Ed came and fixed it so quickly we hardly knew he was there. He just came today to finish sanding. Basically, he is very down-to-earth matter-of-fact and just gets a job done. He also comes early! Not one of those people who never shows up at the time they say. He always showed up when he said he would. The ceiling looks brand new (it looked terrible before) and he touched up another place on our ceiling and near our stairwell – the walls look great! He also paint-matched the paint as an added kindness. I would recommend Ed.

Recently had a sewer pipe break on a property in Pottstown. The basement floor was covered in sewage. Tom @ Scavello Restorations responded to my call very quickly, was on the scene the same day. Gave me a great quote and began bio hazard clean up the next day. Biowashed and bio sprayed the floor after doing a great job of clean up. It looks like it NEVER happened!!!!! I would def recommend this company !!!!! They are AWESOME!!!!!

Tom did a great job taking down our shed after Ida ruined it. cleaned up very well when done. I thought it was a reasonable price also. I would use again.

Who knew a pressurized hose bursting in our laundry room could lead to so much chaos? By the time we discovered this catastrophic water event we had extensive damage to adjoining bedroom, hallway, and worst of all a finished basement. I wouldn’t wish the experience on anyone but if you have to go through it, I highly recommend calling Tom at Scavello Restoration immediately. He was unbelievably responsive, minimizing the damage and creating a smooth path to restoration. Beyond his mitigation skills, turns out he has years of experience in tile installation, trim work, drywall repair, painting, and more. It made the entire experience seamless. Great to work with. Very professional. Nothing ruffles him…plus he plays great music while he’s working!

We would recommend this business, hands down! They came out on a Sunday to assess water damage sustained the day before and were so professional and quick. They made sure that everything was taken care of before taking their equipment back and everything looks great! Thank you so so much for everything!!

Tom is a very professional, diligent and hardworking guy. He did some light construction and painting and did a very good job. He works weekends, holidays and is the guy if you want something done on time. Very trustworthy as well. Definitely will hire him for other projects.
