Sparkle Restoration Services

I had a water leak in my kitchen that did a lot damage to my wood flooring and cabinets. Cenmar and his team were extremely professional and knowledgeable with working with my insurance company and returning my home to its original condition.

I found Sparkle using the Better Business Bureau website and great Unilocal reviews confirmed my choice. Cenmar (the owner) and his team did a fabulous job restoring my kitchen after a valve leaked behind my fridge. From drywall removal, dryout, mold remediation, rebuilding two cabinet boxes, drywall installation & texturing & painting and floor tile installation — it was all done professionally. Sparkle and Cenmar were definitely a blessing in a time of crisis.

Like many, later a flood damaged our house and we had mold, we filed an insurance claim. Also like many our insurance company low balled us and generally made our life difficult. Instead of going though the insurance suggestion, we searched Unilocal and found Cenmar/​sparkle. Cenmar helped us navigate the process and referred us to a public adjustor he has worked with. The public adjustor helped us tremendously and got us through the insurance process. We were grateful to Cenmar for being on our side throughout the process.
As far as the restoration went, Cenmar was professional from beginning to end and the end product was just as it was before the flood. I was impressed with how he handled all the minor situations which arose. Great work, more than fair prices, great job overall. I’m a satisfied customer and will likely use him in the future for home renovations as well.

We discovered that an external ornamental wood shelf had pulled away from the house, leaving unsealed windows and a rotted out window sill, with a musty odor. I searched this category on Unilocal and found several businesses that get 5 stars. I also found several that didn’t. Then I started reading the reviews and here is what I found:
Most of the five star reviews were for successfully getting an inspection certificate!
Most of the not five star reviews were for doing actual remediation.
Sparkle gets five stars for actually doing the work!
We weren’t disappointed. After removing drywall, conducting remediation and rebuilding rotted framing and window sill, a hole became visible in the outside stucco that had been allowing water to enter the wall, possibly for years. The job grew — we decided to simply remove the shelves. Then we saw that another window was unsealed and the exterior wall damaged because of a second shelf. As the job grew and grew, Cenmar adapted to what we found, always had the answer, came up with someone to remove all shelves, tear off and replace exterior wall sections, then finished the inside and painted it all up. His craftsmen were all first rate.
Sparkle does a lot of business responding to emergency calls. Cenmar had to skip several days on our not-​so-​urgent job, and always left the house well tarped and got back to us as soon as he could.
A courteous and first class contractor, not just in the inspection business. If you need real work done, call Sparkle.

Cenmar and his team of professionals will take good care of you. Will recommend to anyone whose looking for professional work and excellent service.

I am very disappointed. After having a confirmed appointment, I was informed Sparkle could not come as promised to clean carpets at my business. We had rearranged appointments based on having the carpet cleaned. We were given less than 24 hours notice and told the company had «more important clients to take care of». I would not recommend this company if you have any type of tight scheduling situation. I was also shocked to be told my business was not important enough.

Ever have a tenant or know a relative who makes a stressful situation worse than it is. When you can find a contractor who can deal with that person and navigate the waters while maintaining his focus, HIRE HIM! And that’s exactly what I did.
Disaster! Roof leak resulted in leaks in 3 rooms in my rental property. To make matters worse, I live in another country and the damaged property is in Orange County.
I called my realtor, he said, «call Cenmar.» From that first phone call, which he answered immediately, I knew I was in safe hands. Despite November 2014 torrential rains, Cenmar brought in dehumidifiers, coordinated with my roofer (Priebe Custom Roofing) and once the rain stopped, and the re-​roofing completed, Cenmar brought in his amazing crew. 7 days of repairs, with spotless clean up at the end of each day, so as not to inconvenience my tenant, including mold removal, 2 days of packing and unpacking my tenant’s items and it was done.
Cenmar is incredibly thorough in his scope of repairs. However, I must say that his skills at customer service and dedication to detail are the traits that gave me the most confidence. Being thousands of miles away is stressful enough but we worked together as a team to get the job done and when my insurance company got involved we had already addressed all their demands. Claim paid 100% !!!
Not an ego around — he just got it done for me. I’m happy to provide references for any potential customers

AMAZING!!! They came out fast and did a wonderful job and was over $ 2000 less than what another company bid our workplace.
Thank you and definitely recommend Cenmar and his team!

I had a water leak and some water damage so the drywall had to be replaced and the wood floor had to be dried out and rooms dehumidified. The vendor through my insurance was not honest so I decided to try Sparkle due to the Unilocal reviews. Cenmar came and checked it out and because we tested positive for asbestos, he coordinated an abatement company to take out the drywall and they dehumidified the contained areas shortly thereafter. His guy, David, put the drywall back in and painted the 3 closets and even painted parts of our bathrooms for free (The bathrooms needed some painting from a drywall job done by another contractor). He also found great vinyl flooring for our closets that looks like wood flooring. It looks much better than before. Cenmar is very responsive and honest.

Cenmar and his team are amazing! Professionals every step of the way.
In our case, there were many steps. Insurance came in and couldn’t track down the leak, which ended up taking months. Sparkle was patient and never pushy to wrap up the job, and were generous in leaving their equipment here to keep things dry for an extended period. When my plumber finally took care of the leak, Sparkle returned everything to its original condition promptly.
I can not recommend them highly enough!

Professional and honest service! Had a water leakage in the bathroom though damage was not very bad. Cenmar gave me accurate estimates using photos sent to him; setup only essential equipments to get the job done. He is very easy-​going but professionally explained what need to be done. The affected area was isolated so the drying can be done more effectively and the influence to my living was also reduced. After the work was done, his crew cleaned the debris and mopped the floor. Highly recommended.

We had Sparkle out to clean our carpets last week. This was the 3^rd time we have used them for carpet cleaning. Once again Sparkle did an outstanding job. The are very efficient and have a very good work ethic. They said what time they would be at the house and were on time and ready to get the job completed.
We would highly recommend Sparkle for any work you would need on your floors. Jan & Scott, Huntington Beach. 10/​15/​2014

You can trust these guys to do a quality job while working with your home! They’re clean, efficient, friendly, and helpful! They will truly take care of your home as if it were their own. I highly recommend their service! Thank you Cenmar you’re the best!

Sparkle is an excellent company that strives to fully satisfy!
This was the only company that truly listened to my desires and made sure to explain all possible options and limitations that could lie ahead. They have a trustworthy, courteous and hardworking group. Juan and Efrain were the gentlemen that did most of the labor and they were fabulous to work with. They not only were extremely considerate of our home but were very detailed with their work. Cenmar, the owner of the company, was also a tremendous asset. He worked with our insurance adjustor tirelessly to minimize the headaches that one might expect in dealing with any insurance company.
In the end, everything was completed according to our wishes and in an expedient manner. We are extremely satisfied with the service provided and the final product!

I had a question which Cenmar was able to answer quickly and after precise testing. The answer he gave benefited me, not him. He is honest, thorough and exudes professionalism. Although I’m glad we didn’t need his services, if I did, I would hire him in a second.

We feel so fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting such an extraordinary contractor in the business where there are so many unprofessional individuals! Cenmar, the owner of the company, went above and beyond every expectations that we had. Having recently used a different company for another water damage, we were able to compare the services provided by Cenmar and his crew with that of the «big» restoration company recommended by our insurance company. There were no comparisons to be made! Cenmar and his crew addressed all of our concerns, answered all our questions (actually picked up the call each & every time), showed up at the time promised, and delivered the services as promised.
Cenmar’s professionalism was amazing! He puts all the other companies to shame. We’ve had our share of experiences with various contractors but none have showed the integrity and professionalism shown by Cenmar.
We will be recommending Cenmar to all our family and friends!

I called the office the first time to schedule a cleaning service. The assistant told me that Cenmar would get back to me within that same day before 5pm to schedule a day to come in.
He never called back.
I called again the next day to have him call me back as soon as possible since my apartment needed some deep cleaning. The assistant placed me on the priority list and claimed he’d call me back by the end of the day.
It has been the 5^th day since I called and I still have not received a call from Cenmar.
I probably would’ve rated this place higher since all the other Unilocalers loved them, but I guess I’ll never know since Cenmar NEVER CALLS BACK HIS CUSTOMERS.
This is a well deserved ONE STAR, Cenmar.

A drainage pipe broke under our kitchen a week ago and we were on the look for someone to come ASAP and clean the dirty water from underneath our house. We called a few companies but right of the bet Cenmar was the most responsive and explained the all process to us. He came by during the weekend, did the initial assessment for a very reasonable fee and put a plan for us on the spot for how to fix the issue. The process went exactly as he promised and our house is now back to normal. Needless to say the nature of
restoration business is working with clients that desperately need help and a lot of companies will take advantage of this. Cenmar was nothing but professional, honest, responsive and most important there to help. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure working with Cenmar and his crew.
Cenmar came out the same day for the estimate and the quote was reasonably priced. we were able to schedule very last min job for them to come out and work on my house soon after.
The crew did a great job, actually better than the first contractor I’ve hired in the past. then the next day, Cenmar called to check on the project and made sure we were satisfied with their work.
I loved working with them.

Excellent service throughout. Cenmar returned our kitchen to it’s original state & he made all of our decisions easy.
One day our laminate floors started to bubble up with water. I called Cenmar and he returned my call same day. He & his guys were here that evening to examine the problem and initiate a plan. Cenmar diagnosed the problem right away, it was a broken drain pipe in the wall behind our sink. They started the clean-​up right away and restoration began as soon as he & I communicated with my insurance. His guys were careful to protect the existing granite and appliances and Cenmar kept the process moving along smoothly throughout. Now our kitchen is back to normal. Thanks Cenmar.
Excellent Communication.
Excellent Service.
Excellent Outcome.
