Tony is amazing! He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and very detail oriented. Tony and his team worked together with me step by step on a bathroom demolition & complete remodel which turned out perfect.

What our customers say

We called 1st Action, because we had a leak and weren't sure where it was coming from. Tony removed the wall, flooring and found a burst pipe in the washer machine area. He went back and forth with our insurance company trying to get us more money. They wanted to pay us $14k initially for the hardwood floors to be sanded and stained. Tony sent our wood to be tested and although it took a couple of months total, he got us $74,000. Tony made sure we got every penny from our insurance company. If you have a leak, call 1st Action!

After consulting with two other restoration companies who did not want to do the job, I was referred to 1st Action. It was a God send! Not only did he make my home safe for my child and I, Tony took care of the insurance paperwork, and he remodeled my kitchen — which turned out awesome by the way! If you're looking for someone who will get the job done, and not cut corners, Tony is your guy!

I had 1st Action Restoration take care of my flood damage earlier this year and all I can say is the work they did is top notch! I was so happy that I even had them remodel a staircase for me which turned out amazing. Very knowledgeable and professional staff.

Paul P.Laguna Hills, California

Tony the owner is probably the most positive, energetic person I've ever met. He knows his business and explains in detail exactly what he plans on doing before he starts. He's on time, does what he says and his workmanship is second to no one. Very happy with the work he and his crew did in my house, which was quite extensive including the elimination of black mold, multiple pipe leaks, wall and cabinet demolition and replacement.

Mark S.Mission Viejo, California

We had a water intrusion that flooded our slab and bottom floor, and the source was unidentifiable for two years. I had six plumbers, three leak detection specialists, two geologists, an engineer of geology, a water hygienist, the city three times, a structural engineer, a forensic engineer and many others try to figure this out. All of it was to no avail until Tony and 1st Action took my case. If he can remediate my issue, he can help anyone with pretty much any issue. Five stars.

Janndon & AmyOrange County, California

I have used them twice due to leaks from the upstairs unit. Each time Tony was quick to come out, check out the damage and come up with a plan. Great communication, punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them if you ever have leak issues.
