Boston Restoration Solutions is a Weymouth outfit built around one thing: getting to a flooded, moldy, or fire-damaged home fast. Owner Luis Mendes runs the crew and, across dozens of reviews, is the name reviewers reach for by first name — the guy who shows up in the middle of the night, on a holiday, or during a subzero cold snap when a pipe lets go. Response time is the through-line. Reviewers describe Luis arriving in 15 minutes, 30 minutes, within the hour — including once at 10pm on July 3rd for a burst-pipe flood, and another time showing up the same afternoon after a commercial vendor bailed on a black-water flood job. Once on site, the work spans water extraction and drying, mold remediation (removing contaminated flooring and drywall, testing to confirm it's gone), fire-damage cleanup after a chimney fire, and ice-dam damage repair; several reviewers also mention Luis installing dehumidifiers or a Humidex system to keep humidity down afterward and walking homeowners through the insurance-claim process. One reviewer specifically credits him with steering them away from an unnecessary HVAC vent-cleaning upsell a competitor had pushed. The business carries a BBB A+ grade and has been a BBB-accredited business since November 2023, and its 47 Google reviews — recent ones and some going back to 2022 — are uniformly five stars, with eight posted in just the last six months. There's little in the record to flag — no complaints turn up anywhere in the written history. The main thing to confirm before calling is scope: this is emergency water, mold and fire response and drying, not routine foundation waterproofing, so it's the right call for a flood or a mold problem rather than a preventive sump-pump or drainage project.
Luis was phenomenal for the entire process of water remediation. He knew exactly how to guide me in the process for insurance approval and assured me that I would not have money coming out of my pocket for the expenses. He helped me arrange a pack up of my living room and then placed his equipment in my house until all readings were in the normal zone. He photographed all readings as well to show the progression from zones. His equipment was amazing - it removed 25gal of water from my home. He ensured that all mold was removed, anything that was damaged from mold was cut out, and lastly he worked with me to save my kitchen from demo (since we had just redone it) even though it would have made him more money to go through with the demo. I would highly recommend this company.
Luis and his team are nothing but top notch. After discovering a leak in our basement, I called Luis and he was over our house in 15 minutes to check out the damage. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and not pushy. He and his team came over first thing the next morning and took care of the damage and mold remediation in a clean and efficient way. I cannot say enough good things about Luis. His timeliness, responsiveness and work is unmatched. He’s the guy for any remediation work needed!!
Boston Restoration Solution was an absolute lifesaver for us. We had major water damage in our basement, and Luis, the owner, went above and beyond to help us through it. From day one, he was responsive, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. What really stood out was the amount of time and effort Luis put into understanding the problem with us — inspecting the damage, troubleshooting, brainstorming solutions, and explaining every step so we could clearly understand our options. He never rushed us or pushed unnecessary work. You can tell he truly cares about helping people, not just completing a job. Even in a stressful situation, Luis brought a calm, positive attitude and treated our home like it was his own. His dedication, work ethic, and professionalism are rare to find. If you’re dealing with any kind of water damage, restoration, or cleanup issue, I can’t recommend Luis and Boston Restoration Solution enough. We are truly grateful for all his help.
Boston Restoration Solutions was a complete godsend. From the moment we contacted them during a really stressful situation involving ice dam damage in our new home, Luis was incredible to work with. He was thorough, responsive, communicative, and deeply knowledgeable throughout every step of the restoration process. What stood out most was how empowered and informed he made us feel during what could have easily been an overwhelming experience. He walked us through the damage, explained what remediation and restoration would look like, kept us updated constantly, and worked with us so thoughtfully that we were able to remain in our home while the work was being done. He checked in frequently, provided clear updates, and made sure we always understood where things stood. Luis also worked seamlessly with our insurance company and gave us invaluable insight into that process, which removed so much stress from our shoulders. Beyond his professional expertise, his communication skills and calm, compassionate approach during a crisis truly set him apart. We genuinely cannot recommend Luis and Boston Restoration Solutions enough, nor can we thank him enough for the care he showed us during such a difficult moment. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with him.
Luis was amazing! I had 3-4 inches of water in my finished basement! Showed up immediately and assessed the situation and dried my basement and the floors completely! I didn’t lose my walls …. And more importantly…. No mold! He came several times during the process to ensure the process was working. He also handled the insurance process and made a stressful situation very manageable! I would definitely hire him again.
