Insurance Handled

“Our water heater burst at 2am and I was panicking. Ryan answered on the first ring and had a crew at my door in under an hour. They handled every bit of the insurance claim and kept us updated daily. We never had to worry about dealing with the adjuster — CFDR did everything. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. Couldn't have survived this without them.”

“After Hurricane Ian, my first floor was completely flooded. Ryan's team worked directly with my State Farm adjuster and I got more from the claim than I expected. They documented everything meticulously — photos, moisture readings, daily progress logs — which made the claim process smooth. Full rebuild was done in 6 weeks. Incredible experience from start to finish.”

“I manage 14 rental properties in Orlando and Ryan is my first call for any water or mold issue. Response time is always fast, pricing is fair and transparent, and everything gets documented perfectly for insurance. I've used the big national franchises before and CFDR is night and day better in every category — communication, pricing, results, and follow-through.”

“Found black mold behind our bathroom wall during a renovation. Ryan came out the same day I called, gave us a clear scope of work with no surprises, and had it fully remediated with a clearance certificate in 3 days. He explained every step and why it was necessary. Very professional, fairly priced, and I had peace of mind that it was done right. The clearance cert was exactly what our insurance company needed.”

“Kitchen fire smoke damage spread through the whole house. Ryan's crew did a phenomenal job on odor removal and the full rebuild. They were on-site every single day and communicated everything clearly — I always knew what was happening and what was coming next. The insurance process was completely handled by them. My house looks and smells better than it did before the fire.”

“Roof leak caused significant water damage to two bedrooms and the hallway. Called CFDR at 7am and they were there by 8. Drying equipment was set up within the hour. Insurance claim was fully handled by their team — I signed a few documents and they did the rest. Zero stress on my end, which I really needed because I was already dealing with the stress of the situation.”

“We had a major pipe failure on the third floor of our office building on a Friday night. Ryan had crews on site within 90 minutes and worked through the weekend to protect tenant spaces and get equipment set up. He coordinated directly with our property management company, our insurance broker, and the adjuster simultaneously. We had a complex multi-floor claim handled professionally from day one. I've worked with several restoration companies over the years managing commercial properties — CFDR is the best I've encountered.”

“Sewage backed up into our finished basement — one of the worst things that has ever happened in this house. Ryan arrived within two hours, explained exactly what Category 3 contamination means and why proper remediation matters, and had a full containment and extraction crew there the same day. Everything was properly sanitized and documented. Our insurance covered the full cost. Ryan made an absolutely awful situation manageable by knowing exactly what to do and getting it done without drama.”

“After Hurricane Idalia came through, I had wind-driven rain intrusion in my attic and two exterior walls. I called three restoration companies — CFDR was the only one that actually came out within 24 hours. Ryan did a thorough inspection with moisture meters in every affected area, documented everything for my Citizens Insurance claim, and the estimate he submitted in Xactimate format was accepted the first time with no back-and-forth. His knowledge of how Florida hurricane claims work is exceptional.”

“Pipe burst inside my wall during an overnight freeze — rare for Florida but it happened. I had no idea how bad it was until Ryan came out and put moisture meters into the walls. The damage had spread 18 feet from the source behind the drywall, completely invisible from outside. Without that professional inspection I would have patched the pipe and had a major mold problem in six weeks. Ryan caught it, scoped it correctly, and got it all dried and repaired properly. Best $0 I ever spent on an inspection.”

“Our bonus room over the garage flooded from an AC line that cracked — we didn't find it for several days. By the time we noticed, water had wicked into the walls significantly. Ryan's team extracted, set up drying, and monitored moisture levels daily with readings documented in a log. When our adjuster questioned the drying timeline, Ryan had the documentation to back up every day of equipment runtime. Claim paid in full. This is what professional restoration looks like.”

“A slow roof leak had been causing damage to my guest bedroom ceiling and walls for what turned out to be months before I noticed. By the time I called CFDR, there was active mold behind the drywall. Ryan explained everything clearly — what was damaged, what needed to come out, what the remediation process would look like, and what to expect from insurance. No pressure, no exaggeration, just honest information. The job was done right and on time. I recommend them to everyone I know in Central Florida.”
