I cannot say enough good things about this company. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and compassionate. They worked well with my insurance company and provided me with a finished product that far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working with them in the near future.

Casey F.

Our insurance company (USAA) has Kelmann as their top-rated vendor in the Southeastern Wisconsin area for a reason – they are exceptional. We are through phase 1 of a project and the experience so far has been great!

Ken P.

Can’t say enough good things about this company and the people who work there! Specifically, Bill G. and Austin B. did an exceptional job for us. They definitely went the extra mile! These guys are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and so easy to work with.

Having a truck run into the front of my house was an unexpected event to say the least. I could not have been happier with the service Kelmann Restoration provided. I would highly recommend Kelmann Restoration!

Daniel P

The entire team at Kelmann was extremely professional, responsive and truly provided the peace of mind we were looking for after we found our master bathroom and basement flooded. They not only responded right away, but gave us the peace of mind that everything would be resolved.
