Jenkins Restorations was recommended to me by **** after I had a water pipe leak in my home and needed mitigation and repair. That was August 15, 2024. I have had so many problems with them mostly them failing to come out to do the job and once they did most of it there was extremely shoddy workmanship and much had to be ******. The final item to be done, which they have in writing, is to fix a curtain rod bracket that they bent really badly. They still havent come out. Ive gone through their manager, ****, a third party resolution company, and still cant get help. Meanwhile they are bombarding me with emails to sign the insurance check over to them. I could write a book about how terrible they have been but bottom line is I want to fix the still broken Item that they said in writing they would do so I can be done with them. **** deserves to be part of this complaint as well because they recommended the crooked company and now wont help me get the job done. This issue has been going on for almost 8 months now.Initial Complaint

I was in contact with Jenkins Restoration project manager from around August ******* through December 20, 2024 per phone, email and text. In our last communication, he assured me he would schedule someone to come out to see what remaining issues needed to be resolved and he would credit back whatever repairs were done by another contractor. I have not received any contact since except for the home company sending documents to sign for completion of work and request for money (not picked up per Project Manager as agreed; second payment then deductible post completion of restoration)Dispute: Work never completed; Multiple promises not Kept:* Did not replace 800sqft of damaged flooring-removed unused wood from dwelling ( some areas of warped wood still noted) * Did not return to replace toilet and sink pedestal / left area very untidy * Dining table legs placement not corrected as promised * Chipped chairs, piece of molding, broken wall sconce not repaired * Did not address crawl space insulation with insurance company as promised (left off contract for restoration per Restoration Manager- promised to handle) Did not observe or inspect crawl space prior to floor restoration. * Informed company in writing regarding above issues.

The majority of the delays caused during this customers project were in the beginning stages, due to the customers insurance adjuster and contractor connection when approving an accurate scope of work. The goal of Jenkins Restorations during this time was to ensure the homeowners floor was not being improperly repaired as the carrier was suggesting. The homeowner was appreciative of Jenkins due diligence during this time. Jenkins apologizes for the length of this claim and the 3 months of delays caused by the adjuster and contractor reviewer, and for the lack of communication during the holidays.
A site visit was set with the homeowner on 01/8/2025 regarding the crawlspace insulation.Initial Complaint

We had a total rebuild from a house fire in 2020. There were many issues with the work from employees helping themselves to our items before we had time to clear.Two different shades of paint were used in the kitchen, primary bathtub was installed with a sink faucet, light switch that doesn't work, electric outlets left exposed, phone lines weren't installed, charged for two ADT control boxes because the first one was installed in the wrong place. We paid for the installing of the cooktop and they used our bricks for the rebuild and we have not been reimbursed for those items. After complaining to the insurance company since they refused to address the issues a third-party company had to work as an in-between to make them return to work on our home. We also paid an independent contractor to review the work and received a 40-page report of concerns. The roofing was done incorrectly and had to be replaced at least 5 or so shingles all around the house that would've cause the roof to leak, plus the gutters also had to be replaced.I have tried to work with this company is one reason I hadn't reported them until now. I have complained also about the windows. There is air coming in which of course increases the energy bill. They sent someone out the repaint the kitchen and asked him to repair the windows. Well, that didn't work and a person from the ********* location stated the window ledge was too low and they should've raised it, so they didn't need to use caulk to close the gaps, but it appears to me they are not the correct size. The previous ones were aluminum and these are vinyl. I was told someone would get back to me before Thanksgiving after their company meeting in ********, but we haven't heard anything from anyone.They have corrected a lot of the issues, but this is a major eyesore and costly.Customer Answer

This company has overcharged during the whole process of our time working with them. Then we agreed on a final number completed the work then weeks later they send me another bill for more money for work that was either already paid for per the previous scope or wasnt done. Now they are putting a lien against my home. Without even trying to resolve.Business Response

The additional charges the customer received were for work outside the original scope of repairs approved by the customers insurance provider, *****************. Throughout the process, Jenkins Restorations maintained open communication with the customer and their adjuster, Mr. ***** to ensure transparency. On a three-way call with the customer and Mr. ***** ********************** outlined the costs covered by ***************** and the additional out-of-pocket expenses that the customer would be responsible for due to the extra work requested.
This extra work included relocating electrical connections for the range hood, patching drywall, extending the faucet water supply line, extending the sink drain, modifying the barn cabinet to fit the barn sink, and installing a push button for the garbage disposal.
This additional work resulted in an outstanding balance of $1,141.61, which was communicated to the customer via a change order, sent on 08/26/2024. The customer viewed the change order on the same day but declined to sign it, even though the services were completed as per their request.
Despite Jenkinss efforts to resolve this amicably, including several attempts to collect payment and have a final payment link provided to the customer, we have not received payment for these additional services. As a result, and in accordance with standard business practices, we issued a notice of intent to place a lien on the customer's property on 09/23/2024.
We remain open to resolving this matter and would be happy to discuss a payment plan or any questions the customer may have about the charges. Our goal is to always provide clear communication and fair pricing for the work completed.Customer Answer

Per ***** ******* what was agreed in was what I paid the work was completed on July the 7. Then over a month later I receive a change order which I never agreed on. With that being said per the original scope that I signed the electrical was on there the sink cabinet was not modified at all and these other things were never approved. I never received anything prior to any of this saying for one that I would owe more or did I sign any amount outside the scope. I was lied to by this company and over charged for the whole thing. If the insurance was supposed to pay more that is on them to collect. I will be reaching out to a lawyer on this matter and I will not be paying another dime. A week later the dish washer fell out of the cabinet the floor has nails coming through everywhere where they were not pulled before laying and this shady business is not acceptable. If they show where I signed to pay more then we will discuss but they cant provide this, because I never signed anything.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
All the work they are trying to say was done was not!! I never recieved a detailed list of the charges before hand was sent this after the fact. How can you just charge someone what ever you want for work that wasnt completed the barn sink was never adjusted I purchased all the lines for the extension of the sink which I have reciepts for and purchased the button for the disposal. Also if there were to be additional charges I should have been notified prior to the work. That last thing I signed I was told that that was to complete the job. How can a company just send a bill without prior approval? And charge whatever they want without letting the customer know.

Job # STL-23-0782-WTR Invoice #****** On November 10, 2023, I signed a contract with Jenkins Restorations agreeing to pay $8,841.37 for restoration services after water damage to my house.I paid as follows:11/10/2023 $1,000 deductible 12/10/2023 $400 by check #**** 12/15/2023 $918.75 by check #**** 01/25/2024 $6522.62 by check #**** Invoice # ****** for $882.00 came after painting had been done. The numbers didn't add up so I sent the $400 check and explained that I would pay the balance after they told me what I was paying for.I received a phone call telling me that the bill was for the asbestos test. Then I received a bill for $918.75 for the asbestos test, which I then paid.When the work was finished, I paid the final invoice but subtracted the $400 for the check they had "lost" in a file somewhere, again with a letter of explanation.Project manager ******* **** contacted me and said I was $400 short. I explained that I had sent that earlier, he found it, they cashed it, and my account was satisfied.Meanwhile, I continue to receive copies of Invoice #****** about once a month.

In January 2024, we discovered a leak in the ceiling of our daughters bedroom. After contacting USAA, Jenkins Restorations was sent to caulk and tarp the roof to prevent additional damage. When they showed up at our home, I signed a contract with Jenkins that stated they will tarp and repair the roof (contract attached in photos). Not only did they fail to do this, but they also failed to caulk the area of the roof where the leak was coming from (also shown in attached photos, note the area of the roof that has water on it). This failure lead to an additional leak.Jenkins was also hired to perform drywall repairs. Recently, my roofer discovered what we suspect as mold. We hired an environmentalist who is coming to confirm this next week, at which point I will update this post. If mold is confirmed, it would appear that Jenkins Restorations opened my ceiling, ignored additional damage, and closed it back up. Furthermore, my roofer informed me the drywall work they performed was shoddy. Jenkins proceeded to hound me repeatedly for the $484 for the original roof 'repair'. USAA continued to drag it's feet on paying me out this amount, which I provided audio and image evidence of, and explained to their Project Manager, **************** *** sent me e-mail essentially stating that the repeated request for payment would not stop, even though I asked him to contact USAA directly and pointed out to him in the contract I signed that payment would come DIRECTLY from ****. I'd also like to note that once *** received payment, he did not reply to my e-mail regarding this issues described above, and has since ignored me. I'd like the shoddy work addressed, the failure to disclose additional damage addressed, and compensation for both. Have a nice day.Business Response

I was recommended Jenkins Restoration by ****. My spouse is Active-**** and was deployed. I was trying to handle everything but came into an issue with 1) ********** ******** cancelling a contract without explanation on the day I logged in to sign it and 2) despite me using phone calls as my primary method of communication, I was not called. Moreover, I tried to work it out with the company and get the work done and have paid them my deductible for the entire job, they sent emails despite phone calls being the primary method to contact me which for some reason I did not receive in a timely manner. I had been working with **** and the mortgage company to correct all the name issues and with that resolved, Jenkins restoration had not called me to arrange signing the check or to inform me that my wife, again who was deployed, did not respond to their emails. I feel discriminated against as ******** by this company now, as it was after my name was officially changed, *********** ************ cancelled the contract initially and when I tried to contact them to obtain a solution, he refused to tell me why he did that. There are other names I can post, but I am hoping that Jenkins Restoration wishes to salvage situation, as I had been calling every other week trying to see if the checks had been received so they could give a new contract for us to legally sign, and we could proceed. The agents at Jenkins I spoke with and I had no clue that ********* ***** had yet again cancelled the contract. When I spoke with **** the last several times, I was asked if I were still choosing to proceed with Jenkins and with the knowledge I had at that time, including earlier today, I said yes. They started a job, and they should finish it. I am so stressed out over having my house repairs incomplete for almost a year now due to lack of clear communication...a simple phone call to inform me of what was the current status.Customer Answer

I made a name mistake. ****** was not the individual, it was ****** ********** ****** was helpful. I'm sorry about stating the wrong name.
However, ********* ***** called me and despite having given him the corrected name info in September and ensuring that the names were corrected in our insurance and mortgage, he never sent a new contract for the rebuild portion of the job. Moreover, he claimed that I was a threat to his workers because I was emotional in voicemail when I was breaking down due to not having the issues resolved. They are still not resolved and since they spammed me with email messages earluer in the year, I had no idea which email was for which portion of the work. I had stated over the phone many times that phone calls were the primary connection for me, but they sent emails anyhow and did not follow up with phone calls. I wish they had communicated better rather than assume that emails are instant and always connect. When a customer calls on the phone, they are not using email! I was told that I had not communicated, but I have my call logs which I called several numbers over the last months. I still feel that this handling is unprofessional. Moreover, he refused to talk with my spouse, whose name is the primary on the account, now that she is back from deployment in place of me!

Jenkins Restorations requires a signed contract before starting restoration work or services. This customer has failed to sign a contract of work on 4 occasions from March 2023 to September of 2023.
The original contract was sent mid-March 2023 and went unsigned for 2 weeks, in which case Jenkins Restorations canceled the contract. Jenkins Restorations was still accommodating in starting over with the contract to move the process along for this customer. Jenkins also met onsite with this customer to discuss the work and stated that we could not start the work without a signed contract.
In September 2023, Jenkins still did not have a signed contract and our customer was unresponsive. September 7 is the only time Jenkins was notified of the legal name change needed by ****. **** stated that the names on our contract must match the legal names of each policyholder. The names provided to Jenkins Restorations by **** did not match what the customer was requesting on the contract, so Jenkins was awaiting clarification from the customer, to which the customer was unresponsive until December 2023. If the customer had provided the current legal names at that time and signed the contract, Jenkins would have started our work.
Because of continual failure to sign the contract, Jenkins Restorations has canceled the contract each time and will not be completing the work. We stated to the customer on 9/8/2023 that we would need this final contract signed by the end of the week or we would not be moving forward with this work and would be canceling the contract. The customer was unresponsive until December 2023, in which case, we canceled the unsigned contract and will not be going back to contract with this customer. We called this customer on 12/7/2023 to explain and discuss why we canceled the contract. Their hostile voicemail left on 12/6/2023 has left Jenkins unable to move forward due to concerns of potential hostile treatment of our subcontractors and personnel.

We hired Jenkins Restoration for pipe burst-related floor repairs in January, per the recommendation of our Insurance. We paid our bill on time and in full. Yet, nine months later, on September 7th, you informed us we owed you $657.74. This morning, at 10:44 AM, you again informed us the amount owed was $657.74. Yet on the bill you've sent us, the total is listed as $805.95. Additionally, after reviewing your "FINAL DRAFT" document for our floor repair, I discovered we were charged for a vapor barrier: However, when the work was being performed, I noticed floor paneling was being installed with no vapor barrier under it whatsoever. I was informed by the contractor that no vapor barrier was necessary. Why was I charged for a vapor barrier that was never installed? We could easily peel up the flooring downstairs to prove there is no barrier. I would like a refund for this as well. Was this charge simple carelessness, or deliberately fraudulent? It is unfathomable how your idea of an itemized bill containing all credits and debits on our account is a 7-month-old PDF entitled "Rough Draft," prepared by Nationwide, not you. My wife has sent you countless questions regarding this manner via email which you flatly ignored. It is regrettable how you have represented your business. The contractor, Jack, was honest, communicative, and helpful throughout the repair process. We would happily have hired him again for future work that needs to be done on the house. I would appreciate your prompt response with regard to this matter and a timely resolution of this nine-month saga. Sincerely,*****************************************Business Response

My family home had a leak in the upstairs bathroom toilet in December 2022. This led to extensive water damage in the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms. My insurance ****, recommended Jenkins Restoration to take care of the issues and restore our home. Jenkins came in and did the water mitigation and restoration. Upon moving back into our home there was a seemingly new leak coming from the bathtub pipes causing water damage to the newly renovated downstairs bathroom. The pipe that is under the tub had a large, quit noticeable hole in the pipe. If Jenkins had brought attention to the hole in the pipe and not worked around it and left the hole then put drywall up, this 'new' issue wouldn't have happened. They also didn't clean up their work and left our home dirty and dusty for a week after we were allowed to move back into our home. They left the railing off of the wall in the stairwell and some minor cosmetic things weren't done before we moved back into our home. Despite them telling us our home was 100% ready to live in again. A few outlets weren't working and the plates were left off, until about a week after we'd been moved back in. Our family hasn't been able to use the upstairs bathroom since December 2022, because of the initial water damage and Jenkins overlooking the hole in the pipe. We'd just like the hole in the pipe fixed and the new drywall put back up so there isn't a huge hole in our downstairs bathroom leading into the crawl space.Customer Answer

Jenkins Restorations contracted with this customer and **** to complete General Contracting, Water Mitigation and Repairs, and Environmental Asbestos Abatement from the initial leak. This customer signed Completed Satisfaction Agreements for all of the above scopes of work. The discovery of the hole in the bathtub pipe occurred after our initial scope of work was completed and was not part of our contracted agreement. As such, addressing the hole in the pipe and the related drywall repair falls outside the scope of work of our initial contract. We understand the customer’s desire to have this issue resolved, but Jenkins Restorations would need a new scope of work contract that includes the repair of the pipe and any associated restoration work, including the necessary payment terms to cover these additional services.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:My family and I agree that the whole in the pipe and the ensuing water damage were not in the scope of Jenkins work. But it was directly related to and in the same area as part of their work. We believe that their contractors purposely overlooked the hole, as it was quit visible, and chose not to address it to us. We would have gladly paid out of our own pockets to have it fixed. Much the same as the less than 10 tiles in the shower floor that they didn't do. We would've also gladly paid for that to be completed so that our shower doesn't look incomplete.
We have since had the hole in the pipe fixed. Now we would like Jenkins to redo the drywall in our downstairs bathroom. So that our wall isn't left open to the crawl space. This is an agreement that we came to with one of the managers for Jenkins a few months ago.
