Red Star Restoration describes itself on its BBB page as offering water and fire damage restoration, mold remediation and cleaning services, and its website says it has been in business 15 years. A recent Google customer said Steve and his team restored their basement after it flooded. A recent customer said Steve told them what services were needed and didn't try to force them to add extra services. In a 2025 review, a customer described a washing machine overflow on the third floor of a condo that leaked through the ceiling; Steve came out the next day with dehumidifying units and humidity tests. That 2025 customer said Red Star's portion of the job was the mitigation, pack-out, demolition and pack-in, while other contractors replaced and restained the flooring. A 2025 Thumbtack customer said Steve conducted a thorough inspection for a mold remediation and explained the process in detail. A 2026 customer said Steve had black mold gone fast. A 2023 customer said they dried the water, fixed the mold that grew and did the drywall repair. A 2025 customer said Dave came right out and cleaned a dryer vent pipe. A recent customer said they paid $260 for gutter cleaning, found the rear gutters and downspouts still completely clogged after heavy rains, and got no response after contacting the company twice by text and email. A 2024 customer said gutters with gutter guards were cleaned with a long nozzle power washer without the guards being removed. A 2024 customer said downspouts were jammed during a gutter cleaning, followed by flooding in the basement, and that the owner admitted fault for not using the correct equipment. A 2026 customer said Steve barely touched the upper roof on an emergency snow clearing job and broke a flagpole off the front porch. A 2025 customer said they paid $1500 for mold remediation and found mold in the exact same spot a week later. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0656141, as active, held by RED STAR RESTORATION.
We hired Red Star Restoration to clean our gutters and paid $260. After the recent heavy rains, we discovered that the rear gutters/downspouts remain completely clogged, with water pouring over the gutters and down the side of our house, creating a serious concern for potential water damage. We have contacted the company twice by text and email asking them to address the problem and have received no response. We paid for a complete gutter cleaning and are extremely disappointed with both the work performed and the lack of follow-up. We will be filing a complaint with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
It’s really great that I didn’t have to try to clean that disgusting hidden swamp in my gutters, that were so clogged to the brim that there wasn’t adequate water flow! Saved!!! Steve from Red Star got the job done right, in under an hour. He brought the right tools and was thorough, his price was amazing, and he was a kind and personable soul that we and our all our dogs liked within 5 minutes! The exact kind of guy you’d want to hire to work on your home…whether gutters, or the varied skilled services that Red Star Restoration offers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks again! We shall see you in the early Spring, for what will now be our annual gutter cleaning…minus the swamp! - K , Russ, Grover, Grinch & Guinn 🐾
An experience worthy of five stars! Their communication was fantastic and their pricing was reasonable considering the condition my house was in on their arrival. It was nice to not feel taken advantage of during an emergency!
Professional and easy to work with. Communication was smooth, great work!
Steve and his team did a great job restoring my basement after it flooded
