What recent reviews say

Joey and his team handle complex projects with calm problem-solving, from basements carved out of bedrock to multi-bathroom renovations. They answer calls on weekends, explain honest trade-offs, and keep sites clean for families. Named staff (Richard, Faraz, Pierre, Michelle, Giuseppe, Stacy) appear consistently across projects, showing stable operations over years.

Basement work, bathroom renos, and home additions dominate the reviews. One project ran two weeks over but reviewers called it worth the wait. Multiple customers are repeat clients. Pricing stays within quoted budgets, a rarity clients emphasize. Their website lists broader services (kitchen, custom homes, commercial), but the Google reviews focus on residential renovations and basements.

Praised for
  • responsive owner and staff
  • stays on budget and timeline
  • skilled trades and attention to detail
  • clean worksites and respect for home

Common questions

Do you work weekends or after hours?
Joey, the owner, answers calls on weekends. Standard opening hours are published seven days a week.
What happens if we hit unexpected costs like bedrock during excavation?
Magnolia quotes fixed prices even for complex conditions like bedrock. A recent basement project involved extensive bedrock excavation, underpinning, and new drainage systems-they stayed on budget while other contractors quoted hourly rates or walked away.
Will the site be clean each day?
Yes. Multiple reviews note the team cleans up and tidies the workspace at the end of each day, minimizing disruption to the household.

From first call through finish, Action Restoration shows up early and stays transparent. Patrick and his crew handle foundation cracks, garage floor replacement, and water damage with the same calm efficiency whether the job takes hours or weeks. Site cleanup happens before they leave, and pricing stays honest even when hidden problems emerge during excavation. Work includes basement entrance repair, concrete sills, parging restoration, and emergency water removal. Reviewers cite Patrick's willingness to take small jobs between major projects and his habit of spotting issues others miss. The team solves problems and explains the thinking behind each repair decision.
