The prophet Isaiah was known for his strength, persistence, and truth-telling. The name means "Salvation of the Lord". On this Christmas Day, another Isaiah was my personal savior. I am a 78-year-old woman living alone in a condo on the top floor of a two-story building in Pinole. Last weekend's December rainstorm, the second big rainstorm this season, revealed a roof leak that was dumping water right over my front door, my only way in and out of the condo. The door was swollen shut. I couldn't open it. Scary. Jumping off the balcony was not an attractive prospect. On Monday, I contacted the management company. Tuesday was Christmas eve. It might be hard to get help quickly. Lots of folks are on vacation. But Lawton Construction answered the call and on Christmas morning Isaiah arrived at my door. Isaiah is a personable, knowledgeable, capable, helpful and accommodating young man, and he is strong. He unjammed the door easily. Then he got up on my roof to assess the situation. He even had one of those meters that detects how much moisture is behind a wall or under a floor. He took photos of what he found, instantly texting the photos to the home office. The next morning, as planned, Isaiah arrived with his partner Jose. They removed the warped door, built a temporary door, and covered the vulnerable roof areas with plastic using wood and sandbags to secure the plastic. They also vacuumed and cleaned up after. I was amazed by how deftly Isaiah and his partner Jose climbed the ladder from my balcony to my roof while carrying a heavy sandbag in the palm of one hand. They are strong, athletic, efficient, and oh so friendly. They worked well as a team. I watched them construct the temporary door with plywood and a couple of 2 by 4's, in record time (see attached pic). The door fits remarkably well, has locks on the inside and outside, and opens and closes easily. I now feel secure. I can come and go freely. And, I'm so grateful that the roof won't be inviting more water intrusion during these rainy Holidays. No water entered my home during the next rainy day. Thank you Isaiah and Jose , and thank you Lawton Construction for sending their A-Team to my rescue. After they finished at my place, they headed to a house that had a tree fall on it. Isaiah and Jose are heroes. I highly recommend Lawton Construction to anyone facing a water, fire, or environmental challenge. They will help you restore normalcy quickly.

These guys are quick at getting to work and getting the job done, right! I put in a call with my house insurance, because of a leaking Samsung refrigerator, and the same day they were here and got to work. DeMarcus and Josh are very professional, and friendly and made me feel comfortable with their knowledge of the scope of work that needed to be done. Great communication and they gave me plenty of time to prepare for their visits because I have dogs. Ellis, the project manager was also very professional and came out to see the progress of the work that needed to be done. I loved his professionalism and enjoyed his staying in contact with my insurance company, so I didn't have to. He made sure things were going according to plan. This company is awesome and I wouldn't recommend any other restoration company.

I wanted to share my experience—Isiah, Jose, and Javier came out to address a leaking ceiling in the closet caused by a pipe from the second floor. They not only fixed the issue but also took the necessary steps for water damage control and remediation. It was a pleasure having them work on the job. They were quick, efficient, and wasted no time. Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I truly appreciate their excellent service.

The Lawton Team recently visited my home to address water damage caused by a leaking upstairs bathtub. Their team was highly efficient, maintained a clean work environment, and completed the repairs promptly. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of their work and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.

I wanted to post this review for Gomer at Lawton Restoration. Recently I had work done in my home by this company and I gave a review for that awesome customer service. Their manager Demarkus referred me to them to assist in business that we could collaborate on and it also was a success. This company is awesome in not just providing customer services but have a lot more recourses to not just benefit them, instead beneficial to both. So thank you Gomer, for allowing me to assist in marketing for not just marketing for your company but to engage in future business moving forward. Awesome company, Awesome people.

Lawton was chosen by my insurance company to perform mitigation services due to a leak. They were fantastic. Everyone involved was professional, friendly, patient with answering my questions/explaining each step of the insurance process, explaining how long each step would take, and what to expect next/whom would be contacting me.

Ellis, the project manager, and his crew Miguel, Martin, Demarkus , and Isaiah were all wonderful, knowledgeable, and did efficient work. They even protected the floors and stairs with plastic in order to avoid damaging the floors.

Even a technician from American Leak Detection commented to me that Lawton did a great job with the mitigation. That he has seen numerous mitigation jobs and he's seen plenty of bad ones.

This was a great experience and lucky that my insurance company sent these guys out. I would recommend them without hesitation.

A Lifesaver for Our Home and Family!

This is my second review of Lawton Construction & Restoration Inc., but this time, it's about the construction and restoration side of the company. We had the pleasure of working with Project Manager Joel Oceguera.

From the very first consultation, it was clear that we were in the hands of experts who cared deeply about our situation. Their professionalism and dedication were evident as they meticulously assessed our needs and tailored their approach to suit our specific circumstances. The team was always prompt, courteous, and transparent, keeping us informed at every stage of the project.

Every detail, from the structural repairs down to the finishing touches, was handled with the utmost precision and care. Thanks to Joel and his team, our house is not only functional again but also looks better than it ever has. They've turned our house into a home again, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Without Lawton Construction & Restoration Inc., we might have been forced to find alternative living arrangements! They have truly given us back our home and restored a sense of normalcy to our lives. At a time when my family and I felt overwhelmed and uncertain, they stepped in and provided not just a service but a lifeline.

If you are looking for professional and compassionate help, Lawton Construction & Restoration Inc. is the perfect choice! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of home construction, renovation, or repairs. They are truly a five-star company in every sense.

Again, a huge special thanks to Project Manager Joel and his entire crew for their outstanding work and unwavering commitment to excellence! Your positive attitude and support made an extremely stressful experience much more manageable. You treated our home as if it were your own, and for that, we are eternally grateful. You have made a lasting positive impact on our lives, and we are forever thankful.
