Giertsen Restoration Services Company is an amazing restoration company that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of restoration services. I cannot overstate how impressed I am with their business ethics, expertise, and workmanship. They are highly skilled, very knowledgeable, fair priced, and their team is clean, careful, and honest. Giertsen Restoration Services Company delivers a level of customer service reminiscent of the days when businesses cared about the customerMy issue was a 40+ foot long brick wall with a severe case of efflorescence (think 99 on a 1-10 scale). This case of efflorescence was not only severe and extensive, but also very stubborn and difficult to remove. Fortunately, the Giertsen Restoration Services Company team was up to the challenge!The initial estimating visit by supervisor Krystian was thorough, efficient, and respectful of my home (carries shoe-booties in his pocket and uses them!). The most impressive aspect was Krystian’s listening skills – he heard my criteria and passed them on to the rest of the Giertsen Restoration Services Company team. An estimate was emailed to me that afternoon.Then, because I was working/not working with my HOA, project scheduling was an on again/off again nightmare; yet Krystian was so kind and understanding about the project delays.I finally committed to a start date and Krystian and Team arrived on-time (early even) and eager to tackle the project:Jose – “Not going to let this efflorescence defeat us!” Jose was determined to conquer the efflorescence! He demonstrated effective problem-solving skills by investigating alternate techniques and products while keeping me informed along the way. He also brought to my attention some other issues that I might not otherwise have noticed.Manuel – (here for only the first two visits) Manuel is resourceful and observant with great attention to detail; also helpful in informing me of other potential issues. He treated my home with care and respect.Marco – “Mr. 100%” Marco does not believe in doing something half-way; only 100% will do! He treated my home and the project as if it was his own home. Every task he tackled was done thoroughly and with gusto!The Giertsen Team demonstrated skills and care that are rare in today’s world. Their attention to detail, efforts to get it just right, patience and persistence, are remarkable. Thank you for such a positive customer service experience and restoring some faith in commercial enterprises.Sincerely,Molly BAugust 2025 (this is my second review praising Giertsen -see October 2018)The next time that you find yourself with a hot mess on your hands, a quick call to Giertsen Restoration will put your mind at ease. On three occasions this past summer, “things” went wrong : (Thank goodness for the Giertsen team -they made things right again! Thank you Giertsen team! -October 2018

Hi! I had a sewer backup in my townhouse unit. There is a separate room that has the main sewer for all 4 units in my building. I don’t know how long the sewer was backed up for, I only discovered it because my basement wall started leaking. The plumbers said the clog was due to trying to flush wipes. After the clog was fixed, Kevin and his team from Giertsen Company of Illinois came in. Boy did they have work to do. The room was completely disgusting -- the floor had standing sewer water, there were wipes on the floor that had caused the clog, the sewer water crept up the walls and the dry wall was all wet. You could hardly breathe in that room. Kevin and his team did amazing work! Everything was clean and sanitized. He had all of the wet dry wall cut out. He came to my unit and sanitized where the sewage was leaking in. I appreciate all of his hard work!It has been a couple of weeks now and new dry wall has been put in. Everything is still so nice and the smell is gone. I wanted to let Kevin’s supervisors know what a great worker they have. He was very personable and explained everything to me. He assured me it would be taken care of and it was!!Margaret Brill, Fremont Junction townhomes

Unfortunately our HOA picked this company to perform repairs. They consistently missed appointments which shows a lack of concern for a clients time. The job site was never left clean, and no protection was installed when sanding the drywall. Areas of the drywall not even sanded, large chunks of mud left on wall and paint on existing tiles. Blamed the company that did the demo for the bathroom fan now causing the ceiling to vibrate, told me that this must have always been happening and that I must have never noticed. Cut the whole of the shower light too large, apparently they claim this will be fixed but I am not holding out hope. When Krystian Mrozek looked at the repairs needed he claimed they would fix the damage in my hvac closet this of course was not done. I cannot stress enough that no HOA in the Chicagoland area should hire this company for repairs.

I had a very large mirror on my bathroom wall that needed to be removed because of a leak behind the wall. I anticipated a huge mess of broken glass. Javier and James did an amazing job of removing the mirror. No broken glass. They were pleasant and efficient! Thank you Giertsen Co. And James and Javier!

Giertsen is always wonderful to work with!! Being a property manager for multiple condo/townhome Associations, I have had to work with Giertsen on numerous occasions! They have always been extremely prompt and timely in tending to emergency services! They have always handled obtaining permits and helping to make sure the jobs run smoothly! We have had to work together a few times to rebuild homes for owners after significant fire damages and I believe the looks and responses from the owners when they see their home finished is priceless! Just helps to know that we did all we could do during such tragic times and in the end have literally brought tears to a homeowners eye. Really cannot say enough good things about Rick, Daniel, Chris, Tom and their whole crew! Thank you Giertsen for all you do!
