DRC Construction & Painting, based in Lowell, is built for the calls nobody plans for — a burst pipe, a flooded basement, a house fire. The website describes rapid response for burst pipes, flooded basements, roof leaks, and appliance overflows, with water extraction, structural drying, and moisture mapping, and the reviews line up with that far more than the "Painting" in its name — most people who wrote in hired them after a flood or a fire, not for a paint job. The pattern in recent reviews is disaster recovery, coordinated with insurance and done quickly. One customer this year said a flooded water tank was fully repaired within a month and called the process easy to work with, crediting a worker named Jim. Another, after a burst pipe flooded their lower level one winter, said DRC handled the cleanup and called the reconstruction work perfection. A third worked with DRC through their insurer and said the company kept the job within budget. A 2026 review credited the company with restoring a home to its original condition after major fire damage, and pointed other customers toward asking for Rodrigo. It also holds an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau. What's worth flagging: a January 2026 review called a driver "horrible," and an April 2025 review asked the company's drivers to use their turn signals. Both are about driving, not the construction or restoration work. DRC Construction & Painting is a solid call for a flood, fire, or storm-damage emergency, especially with insurance involved — confirm the timeline and who will be your point of contact before work starts.
DRC Construction & Painting provided excellent service and quality workmanship. The team was professional, responsive, and paid close attention to detail. The finished work looks great, and the whole project was handled smoothly. I’d definitely recommend them for construction and painting work.
Jim is incredible! My water tank flooded my house and in a months time Jim had my home finished. So easy to work with and gets the job done fast!
Worked with them through insurance. They kept everything within budget and did fantastic work.
DRC did clean up after we had flood and water damage from a burst pipe in our lower level in the winter. Did a fantastic job with that and also the reconstruction work was perfection! Highly recommend.
In February 2025 I had a pipe burst in my finished basement. This was on a Sunday. I called my insurance company, and googled water damage restoration. I called Hydrodry. This company was very responsive and sent me to DRC construction. James Taylor came to my home. He was very professional and reassuring. His crew was excellent. The crew arrived on time, did their job and kept me well informed. This company made a difficult situation easier to bare. At all times, the entire crew was professional, reliable and considerate. I work fulltime so they coordinated with my schedule. I would recommend this company. And, finally, my basement looks great!!!!!!!
