At Master Service Group, we pride ourselves on providing the full gamut of restoration services to both residential and commercial customers in a high-quality and ethical manner. Since the founding of this company, we’ve never been ones to stay complacent – and we’ve made it out mission to continue to learn and evolve with how we perform work as new information and technology becomes available. Our professionals are IICRC-certified and follow the latest industry standards when it comes to our offered services, and we’re constantly reading industry publications, attending industry trade shows, consulting with peers and seeking continuous education to further master our craft. We’re not one of those carpet cleaning companies who also offers water damage restoration services, we’re a restoration company that exclusively provides restoration work. In other words, we’re a restoration company for people who need restoration work, a company that’s investing in the latest technologies and equipment to better provide our services to you, our customers. It’s not uncommon to face obstacles in restoration projects, as the presence of asbestos, lead or mold can complicate certain jobs. Failure to properly handle these obstacles can lead to major health implications, which is why it’s important for such to be properly taken care of. We know how to handle these obstacles – and it’s because we take the time to carefully analyze and plan every project that we work on. Over the years, we’ve worked hard to assemble a team of engineers, architects, and environmental and safety consultants to be able handle all projects the right way, no matter how big or how small. As an accredited Better Business Bureau company, our reputation precedes itself – and it’s this great reputation that has helped us not just stay in business, but continue to grow. This was especially true of a time when so many others faltered at the height of the 2008 great recession. Property damage is never a situation t

"Jerry was not prompt at all with communication. Insurance company was looking for a more detailed estimate and breakdown of what was going to be done in each room to remove the mold and he refused. He didn’t want to spend the time to help me."

GCPRO Restoration specializes in all areas of residential/commercial restoration and construction. Our company's goal is to minimize the inconvenience of your loss and make the recovery and rebuilding process as painless as possible. We provide fast, 24/7 emergency service throughout the entire Chicagoland area. We are a locally owned and operated company and are fully licensed and insured. Direct insurance billing is available, and we will help guide you through each step of the restoration process.

"GCPRO were the most professional and technology-equipped of all the estimators who came to look at this project. They had laser measures, tools for reading how wet the drywall was, infrared cameras to look at the water saturation... It was impressive! They also were very competitive in pricing. I chose them for those reasons and because they were start-to-finish, handling the remediation and removal efforts all the way through to reconstruction and finishing efforts. The technology carried through those efforts as well, with 3D scanning to measure space and material requirements. The two carpenters who worked on putting everything back together (and actually beyond what was originally there, Janusz and Yaroslav, were extremely professional, polite, detail-oriented and neat. I am astounded by the quality of their craftsmanship. I cannot recommend GCPRO enough!"

"This is the most negligent contractor I've dealt with in my life. They suggested to not be home for our attic insulation since we have a newborn at home which I appreciated. They seemed careful and thoughtful in the sales process which is why I ended up picking them for our project. However, when it came time for the job they were reckless with security and safety. Before the job I sent multiple notes via text and email, and had a phone call asking them to contact me at the end of each day so I could set the alarm and lock the doors remotely. Day one they didn't do this. I sent another ask to please be mindful of this so I could keep our home secure. Day 2 they did not do this again, and ended up leaving our front door wide open which triggered a burglar alarm at 2am requiring us to deal with the security company and police throughout the night. Afterwards it took days for anyone to reply. They lacked empathy or ownership for how negligent their team was. I would not recommend working with these people. Mistakes happen, but the response to these mistakes was almost as bad as their dangerous actions themselves."

We are expanding into carpet cleaning this year, and we're very excited to be able to offer you this service soon!

"POORLY!!! It took me over 2 years to pick the colors. I had finally made the decision to move forward and researched many companies. They all came in around the same price, but since I had read good reviews here, I decided to go with Jay. I had to reach out a few times wondering when they would actually start. Finally his 2nd guy in charge, James, came out and we discussed what was to be done again and sign the contract. As I was not sure about the finish, I asked about options. He described flat to me and I was totally against it as I did not want to see streak marks, have to clean it once a week and it just looked lifeless to me. I am a very colorful person and enjoy seeing color. He told me I still had time to decide. Weeks went by again and he finally stated he would be out on a Monday with the worker so we could go over things and they could start Tues. We walked thru everything and did not discuss the type of paint. I had forgotten as I was excited to finally have the work started. In his paperwork, it should have stated that the finish had not been decided and we should have talked upon the final walk thru. Nothing was mentioned. The worker came the next day and began painting. At the end of the 1st day, as I started to look over everything, I noticed that it was flat paint, there was paint all over the woodwork, the ceiling was not done correctly, there was paint on my bedroom furniture and carpet, the bathroom looked like a 5 year old did it, he missed a whole closet, the closets he did were bad. He did patchwork but did not sand well and just painted over it. The kitchen, the same thing. Did not patch at all and just painted over the mess that was there. I contact James and made him aware of the problems. He came out and we went over everything. I was very clear about the everything and that flat paint was never an option. He tried saying that be cause I never told him what I wanted, this flat was their default if the customer did not ask for anything specific. I reminded him in numerous conversations for over a week about what was said, and he finally agreed to buy more paint at his cost and he would fix the problems. Sent the same guy back and after the day, I said in the light of tomorrow I would review and get back to them. Hold onto your hats because he painted it a 2nd time in FLAT!!!!! I broke down in tears! This house that I loved now had the wrong paint on it for the 2nd time, still paint all over the woodwork. Closet still not done. At this point, I sent an email to both James and Jay stating what happened. Jay, the owner of the company never responded. This is his name out there and you would think he would care enough to follow up on his workers totally giving him a bad name, but nope. Not a word. James wanted to make it right but after 2 failed attempts, I couldn't let them near my house. I broke the contract and would never, ever recommend them to anyone. This is the reason for this review. I have had anxiety trying to find someone I can trust to fix the mess that Jay has left behind and spend additional money fixing the problems he and his team created."

Water and smoke damage repairs FAQs

When you find water damage, your first order of business is to keep everyone on the property safe, so if you have standing water, evacuate if it’s safe. If possible, find the source of the water and stop it, which could mean shutting your water main to prevent pipe leaks. Next, you should notify your insurance company and immediately call a water damage restoration professional. They will work with you and your insurance company to create a solution to fix the issue and file an insurance claim for the cost of the damage.

The three methods or phases of water damage remediation are mitigation, remediation, and restoration. Mitigation is an emergency response that can include shutting off your water main or patching a hole in your roof from a fallen tree limb. Remediation includes drying the affected area, removing damaged materials, and dealing with any resulting mold growth. Restoration includes the build-back required to return your property to its previous condition. All three methods should be a part of any water damage remediation plan.

When hiring a water damage restoration company, you should confirm that the remediation plan includes fixing the underlying problem, dealing with resulting mold growth or rotted materials, and any making any build-back necessary to restore your property to its previous condition. Each phase of the remediation plan should include specific testing and inspection details to ensure the work is done properly and in a way that doesn’t prevent the restoration cost from being denied by your insurance provider.

If you find evidence of water damage in your home, your best option is to call a local water damage restoration company immediately. You could call a plumber first if you know that the issue is stemming from a plumbing pipe, but in many cases, a company that specifically handles water damage will be able to find the source of the damage and recommend a specific repair. Water damage restoration pros will also be able to develop a plan to remove any damaged material and restore your home to its previous condition.

The average water damage restoration cost is around $3,500, but it’s not uncommon to see prices fall between $450 and $15,000. Your project cost will depend on the extent of the damage, the source of the water, whether or not mold has grown in the affected area from the moisture, and the emergency level of your water problem. Keep in mind that your insurance company may cover some or all of your restoration expenses if your homeowner’s insurance policy covers the specific issue.
