Home Restoration Legal Options

Card image cap

Hey all,

We had a house fire in April 2020 and went with a restoration company called Sure Clean (they were recommended by our insurance company). The experience was rough from the start — terrible workmanship and long delays — but we finally moved back into our home in June 2021.

Fast-forward to now: in the past 6–9 months we’ve had two separate leaks tied directly to their work: • A roof leak (they subcontracted the group that replaced the roof) that caused water damage in our sunroom and living room.

• A leak from our master bathtub upstairs that damaged our dining room ceiling below. 

The company is no longer in business. Given that, do we have any legal recourse at this point?

I know the insurance company would fully deny responsibility since they only “recommended” Sure Clean - but it was almost a total loss and my wife and I didn’t know who to choose. So their recommendation went a long way.

Appreciate any guidance or experiences others might have.
