Restoration Services
"We have been working with Josh Duggan at Revive Restoration on a major water-loss event at our property in Madison called The Lux Apartments.
Revive responded to a 6-floor flood event from two frozen and busted pipes as a result of the polar vortex a few months ago. They responded quickly in the middle of the night, worked tirelessly to dry the building out in a few days, and saved us a ton of money, time, and stress by doing so. Revive worked rapidly but effectively, providing great drywall work, trim carpentry work, and flooring replacement work. As a result, we were able to get our leasing office up and running in just a few days.
Revive was great to work with – I would recommend them highly.”
