Fantastic! I agreed to a fair estimate presented by Angel for water mitigation two days after hurricane hit. Next morning, a crew of 8 showed up and worked non-stop 10+ hrs to cleanup my home. Fans/dehumidifiers running for 4+ days. Now for the good part, they were empathetic, careful with my belongings, they capped off waterlines from vanities/cabinets, cleaned walls/floors, they offered me water!, they didn’t curse, they spoke highly of the owner Mike Kingsley. They went above my expectations— much more than a remediation crew they are truly a team. I was lucky to find them. Believe the 5-star reviews!!!\r\n\r\n\r\n

The entire team at Kingsley was a pleasure to work with during a less than ideal time for us. They were prompt, respectful, professional, and did a thorough job. Mike, Terry, Chris, and Bradley were all amazing and I trust their work.
I can’t say enough about this company. They were amazing. I loved their work ethic. Teddy, Chris and Bradley were taught well and Mike was certainly a good example. They were efficient, thorough and very polite. I would recommend them to anyone dealing with water damage.

Called Kingsley after finding them on Google. We needed an urgent mold and moisture inspection. I called on the weekend and they scheduled me for later in the week, but kept me on a waitlist for an earlier appt. Called me back next day for an appt the following day, to which they arrived early and worked thoroughly to find the potential source of out issues. Mike and his team were polite, friendly, caring and thorough! We are waiting on a quote for repairs and look forward to having them do our repairs.
Mike and his team are responsive and professional. They do what they say they will do, and they provide clear and straightforward quotes. I have used them for emergency flood work (twice, unfortunately for me), and for more managed mold removal issues. They have been great in each instance.

Teddy, Bradley, Dante, Dave, and Mike were prompt, thorough, and very communicative, and Kendria is a phenomenal coordinator of the team. This is our third time using them this year (for three unrelated water issues!) and we would not use anyone else. Most recently, they were able to dry an original hardwood floor that had gotten completely soaked, so we won't have to try to find a matching replacement. I highly recommend their services!
Kingsley Restoration was phenomenal! From the initial service inquiry to the completion of the job. The team was punctual, very thorough and maintained great communication. I would absolutely recommend them to my neighbor or a stranger. Wonderful company, including the owner Mr. Kinglsey! Thank you and your team for your service!

Unfortunately we got flooded from that monster storm that hit Cape Coral 09/28. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and haven't been dealing well with this-my husband has been handling everything. He hired Kingsley Water Damage Restoration and we ended up with two fabulous gentlemen Bradley & Timmy. They not only worked constantly but also Bradley was always so kind in helping me when I would come in for our meds or the dogs food walk it back to our neighbors home who were so kind to allow the 3 of us to stay there while they had the heat/blowers running making our home 150 degrees. Mike also was willing to bill our insurance company directly avoiding us paying for their work! If you need a water restoration company ever you won't be sorry if you hire them! They are the best-kind considerate truly God's children
Elgin, SC
I have never worked with a company as kind hearted and caring as Kingsley. We bought a house that passed every inspection but somehow ended up having nasty mold growing in the kitchen behind the cabinets and several other issues. Mike was great at spotting everything and very honest, he even let me know about some of our pipes that we should have replaced to avoid future issues. They fit us in their schedule as soon as they could and got everything taken care of. Dante, Teddy, Angel and Elleatt all worked on things for us and gave us the best care and Kendria is super sweet and caring in the office too. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

I needed a mold inspection on short notice. Mike was able to come out within 24 hours and perform the inspection. He was on time, polite, professional, and explained the status of the property. We'll definitely be using this company for future needs.
Mike was quick, professional and informative during his inspection. Positive Quality, Professionalism
Great experience all the way around! Highly professional and detail oriented. Mike, the owner, exceeded all of my expectations. We had a mold issue in our crawl space and they were able to remediate and give us a HUGE warranty for many years- this guarantees that the mold will not return for 20+ years.

Highly recommend Kingsley. Austin did an outstanding job. He was always on time, professional, and explained every step of the process thoroughly. The owner, Mike, and Austin checked in daily to make sure everything was running smoothly and to answer any questions. They have a great team that made the entire process a breeze.

Easy to work with, professional, and timely. Upon discovering some old water damage in my home’s bathroom, I contacted Mike. He performed an assessment the next day. The work was completed quickly and during Christmas time! I was so appreciative that this wrench thrown into my plans went as smoothly as one could hope. I will be referring this company to anyone who has water damage/mold needs. You won’t be sorry when choosing to work with Kingsley!

Mike is very responsive and on top of things. I have referred him to clients of mine and they had nothing but good things to say. He always keeps me in the loop and is very professional and upfront. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Professionalism
We had a big water mess at our house, called Kingsley and they arrived promptly and it was after hours. Joseph and Austin came right in and got a handle on our water issues. It was a nice sense of relief when they walked in and knew exactly what to do when we felt overwhelmed. Everyone was professional and ALWAYS prompt. They explained everything that needed to be done and answered all questions. The owner (Michael) came to house several times and was great, he and his crew worked all weekend. I appreciate all that they did. I highly recommend this company. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
10 OUT OF 10, WOULD CALL AGAIN! Imagine our dismay when we had a water leak in our bathroom that soaked our hardwood flooring and drywall. This had been ongoing for some time and we were completely unaware of the issue due to the location in our closet that we use to store luggage and other items we rarely use. The mold had already started growing and we were freaking out! Luckily, Mike and his team were in the area and they were there within the hour. They removed all of the wet and moldy drywall, baseboards, flooring, treated the mold on the wall studs, and had the drying equipment set up and running quickly. The closet was sealed off to prevent the spread of mold throughout our home which I thought was a nice touch. Once completed, the work area was cleared of all debris and trash, the workers were professional, knowledgeable, and were more than happy to answer all of my â what ifâ questions. The equipment they left behind dried and purified the air to help speed the dry time. Their visits on the following days to measure the amount of moisture left and make sure the equipment was operating properly was quick and we hardly noticed they were there. The overall experience was like a dream, because after the flooring and drywall was repaired, itâ s like it never happened. We now keep their number on our refrigerator in the event we have another issue. Itâ s like having insurance, without the premium! I highly recommend the Kingsley team. They are truly the BEST!
If I could give Kingsley 100 stars I would! Mike and his team are AMAZING to work with. If you have any water damage call Mike he will go above and beyond!! We had water damage from Hurricane Laura and Mike made the water restoration process go so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry! Kingsley Water Damage Restoration saved our home!

I would definitely recommend this company and would use them again if the need arose. Positive Quality, Professionalism, Value
Amazing service!! Mr. Kingsley jumped right into action for my water mitigation services. He was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain the process. Great overall experience. I must say his excellent service and professionalism put my mind at ease knowing my home was in great hands.
There is no one more customer oriented, ethical, and professional than Michael Kramer. He responded to our call within minutes. After his inspection, he informed us that the mold was not extensive and with some advice (free) from him, we could take care of it with minimal cost. What a breath of fresh air! We own multiple investment real estate properties and he will be the only one we call if we need mold restoration services again.
Mike did an excellent job with our service, responding to an emergency very promptly in the middle of the night. He was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with; very grateful to have found him!
so very pleased with kingsley. michael did exactly what he said he would and finished on time. would highly recommend. excelent job. very professional. nice people. dried us out got, got rid of mold then cleaned everything up. michael even swept my floors and wiped down all dust from demo. so nice to get help from such a good business.
Mike Kingsley and company are the BEST hands down! Mike was responsive and prompt in addressing my issues and concerns. Kingsley was able to remove all the mold and demo everything from under the house where the mold was and then dry everything to prevent any further damage from the water. Kingsley and his team were very professional and considered of all that I had going on. Mike spoke with the insurance company and followed up with all they needed as well as what I needed. I would definitely give them the highest recommendation possible.
Mike is the best person I met during my water leak problem. Long to short: if you are lucky to hire Mike (if his schedule is free), you will have amazing service. He works with you and your insurance. Most of well known firms try to charge double of Mike's estimate and try to take advantage of YOUR insurance. I am so happy that Mike handled my problem. Thanks and God bless you!
You've found your guy! You can stop searching now. As a property owner living on the other side of the country, it's hard for me to find quality contractors to work with when things go wrong at my rental property in Eastover, SC. I hit the jackpot finding Mike - he has been THE BEST. Mike was prompt, professional, and friendly throughout the entire process. The tenant was unable to show (without notice) for one of the days we had set, yet Mike was understanding and did not give me any grief about the inconvenience. He worked with the tenant directly and handled the situation in an expedient manner. Mike kept me in the loop via text/photos from start to finish. Need other contractors outside of this scope? Ask Mike. He referred a flooring company to me that has been awesome. I can assure you that you won't regret hiring Kingsley LLC for your water/mold mitigation needs!
Mike Arrived on time and was very patience and shared his knowledge to get our mold test passed. He even went the extra mile letting us use his EPA vacuum for one night to complete our home cleaning.
Kingsley LLC is an amazing company. Mike was very responsive and prompt in addressing my issues and concerns. He and his team came in moved the furniture in their way, cleaned and dried the area I was having an issue with and put the furniture back. I was very impressed with their ability to keep dirt and dust to a localized area. Mike has excellent customer service skills and had honest and fair pricing. He even checked an area for me that had a previous issue and gave me honest feedback. I will definitely keep his number close, just in case any other issues arise in the future. This is a company you should definitely choose to handle any mold issues you may come across.
From the moment that Mike walked in my home, my spirit was not uneasy at all!! His calm and comforting demeanor helped me to remain calm as a female. He answered every single question I had (and I had a lot) and was very upfront with everything! He showed up exactly at the time he said he would and that meant a lot. Although his inspection was at no charge, because of his professionalism and patience, I felt the urge to give him something for his time. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of having their home inspected for mold!! Thank you so much for everything!!
Michael helped our whole neighborhood after Hurricane Harvey. He brought fans and dehumidifiers to dry out our homes. Failed the mold inspection first time and he went through our house until we found the problem area!
MIke and his team are phenomenal! They are absolute experts when it comes to mold remediation or water damage and care about you in a time of emergency. This is definitely a company you can depend on.
Qualified, professional, fairly priced and very customer-focused. There is a reason every review is five stars. From the first telephone conversation to the completion of work, Mike and his staff have been great performers doing quality work - and a pleasure to have around. Highest possible recommendation!
Mike called me within 30 minutes of my inquiry... quoted me what I think was a fair price of around 1,500 bucks was there within a couple days and 5 days later was out of here thanks for the punctuality and the quality of the work would definitely recommend
Mike was an excellent resource as I repaired my home after Hurricane Harvey. Highly recommended in his field of expertise !!!
Mike showed up within 30 minutes of my initial call. He was knowledgeable and professional. He dealt with the insurance company and communicated with us during the whole process. He did an excellent job and cleaned up afterwards. We were very pleased with Mike and his crew. 100% recommend.
Mike and his team were timely, thorough and professional in mitigating the water damage in my home. Time was of the essence in mitigating water from an upstairs bathtub that overflowed. When I called Kingsley LLC, Mike quickly diverted his crew to my house where they immediately set up their equipment to begin removing the affected sheet rock and cabinets and initiating the drying procedure. He clearly communicated the status of the work in progress and provided details on what materials and work was required to return the affected rooms to prime condition. If you are in a similar situation I suggest you contact Mike Kramer at Kingsley LLC.
When we discovered that our hot water line glue failed and was spraying water directly onto our subfloor causing a huge mess along with tons of black mold I was in panic mode. We called our home owners insurance company to file a claim and we were told to first call a plumber to fix the seal, then we were told to go ahead and call a water mitigation company. I was at a loss on who to call so I started calling around to the large chain mitigation companies and they did not think it was a serious enough problem to come out on a Saturday so I kept searching and calling around until I found a company who took our issue seriously. That’s when I found Kingsley LLC and I’m so glad that I did. Mike was at our house an hour after we called. He got started on things right away while making sure our family was safe. Mike was awesome at explaining everything that he was doing to treat the water damage and mold in a way that I was able to understand and answered all of my many questions. The water damage was pretty extensive and sub flooring ended up having to be torn out. Mike dealt with the insurance adjuster to get everything approved, making the process a seamless one. The whole under side of our house looks brand new. Mike handled everything from replacing the damaged insulation and moisture barrier to the scrubbing of the mold. Mike and his team fixed our home to better than new condition. I will be recommending him to any and everyone that needs any water, mold, and prevention work done.

We hired Kingsley llc for water restoration after a hose to our sink broke when we weren't home. The entire first floor flooded. As soon as I called and spoke to Mike, I knew I made the right decision. They were at my house within an hour starting to extract water. They were very professional and happily answered all of my questions. I highly recommend them for any water damage restoration needs.

Mike did a great job! We had a roof leak that resulted in mold on our bathroom ceiling. He explained the process of removal very clearly so I knew exactly what was going on. He was able to schedule me quickly. He and his crew came in and were very professional and thorough. They were attentive to detail and comprehensive. Reasonably priced. Most importantly, it's obvious that Mike cares about the quality of work and the customer's satisfaction. Highly recommended.
My husband and I had been smelling mold in the bathroom for awhile, but insisted on brushing it off due to the holiday rush (and possibly the mistaken belief that, if we ignored it, it would go away). I finally broke down and started researching qualified mold specialists in the area, choosing Kingsley because they had great reviews and responded in short order. Mike was able to come out and give us a free estimate much more quickly than I anticipated, and was also instrumental in helping us find a contractor to fix the problem. Mike and another member of his crew(I can’t remember his name, but he was quite nice) came by to remediate the moldtoday. Not only did they arrive on time, but they also didn’t attempt to take advantage of me, a person who knows next to nothing about mold. Their prices are extremely fair, not dirt cheap, but entirely reasonable, especially given the quality of work and overall level of service. I will not hesitate to use them again.
I called Mike and he came right out! He's a really good guy and knows his profession.
Kingsley Restoration was the most professional and organized company that has been an absolute pleasure to work with when our home flooded close to 3 weeks ago. It has been a smooth process communicating with Mike and his team. I will be recommending him to anyone I know in need of mitigation work.
We had a mold issue in our crawl space after a hot water pipe leaked. Our insurance company sent out an adjuster who evaluated the situation and advised us to get estimates and choose someone to do the job. I contacted 3 companies for estimates and chose Kingsley, LLC based on the positive reviews, a fair estimate, and Michael's willingness to answer all my questions regarding the process. The job was completed in a timely and professional manner, and my crawlspace looked even better than it did prior to the leak.After the job was completed, Michael gave further advice about steps to take to minimize the possibility of a reoccurence due to other issues he observed. I would definitely recommend Kingsley, LLC for many water damage or mold issues.
Mike was great, honest and knew his work. I have already recommended him to other people.
We used Mike and his crew for demo, cleanup and testing, and to get a certificate that we passed the lab results and our home was remediated. Mike was fair and honest and kind and many other people were not so lucky with who they used. They are the best!
Kingsley Restoration did an excellent job restoring our home after hurricane Harvey. Mike Cramer and his crew worked tirelessly and efficiently from start to finish. Good honest people doing good honest work and their pricing was very competitive. Thank you Mike...we truly appreciate all of your hard work both for us and for Houston!
Mike and his team are the epitome of the consummate professionals. My family and I just went through an extensive mold Abatement process. We are not contractors, so we were thoroughly confused at the process. I called Mike and explained the problem. He dropped everything and showed up he same day to assess how bad our situation was. The underside of our house is completely new, scrubbed, and clean. DO NOT WASTE TIME with other companies, get your job done right the first time and get that small business relationship that other companies cannot duplicate.
Mike K was proactive and knowledgeable about FEMA's remediation requirements. He was always available for my questions which is important to a consumer in a disaster situation. Neighbors who used other "brand name" remediation companies paid more for less, and with less personal service than Kingsley.
This should be the first company you call for any mold issues in your home. And I bet it'll be the last call you'll have to make because this company will get the job done. Mike is a great guy who is both professional and courteous. He came out to my home, assessed the problems, told you what he's going to do to fix it, and he got it done as promised. He kept me updated along the way which provides great assurance. He answered many questions I had regarding the problem and was very knowledgeable. He does a good job in explaining without trying to scare you. Even after finishing the job and getting paid for it, he still responds to my texts with questions I have. Kingsley Restoration cares about the work they do. Coming from someone whose gone through a few mold remediation companies in the midlands, I assure you that you will not find a better company in Columbia to fix your mold problems.
Kingsley Restoration president Michael Kramer was very thorough and explained everything in detail. Thank you Kingsley Restoration Personnel.

A pipe had burst, and there were several feet of water in an unfinished basement on the property. Kingsley Restoration showed up and removed the contents from the basement. All water-damaged items were taken from the basement, and floor tiles and carpeting were removed. Water was extracted from the basement, and the entire area was cleaned. An antimicrobial solution for mold removal was also applied to the affected areas, and air scrubbers were used along with air movers and dehumidifiers. The space was dried out so that it could be prepared for new flooring and so it could be moved into again.
