A vehicle drove through two homes in the HOA I manage. The master insurance hired IKON to preform the rebuild and repairs. I have managed condos for over 15 years and this is by far the largest claim I have dealt with to date.
Monica Cooley, an employee of Ikon Builders, contacted me and the homeowners weekly to update us on the progress. There was never a time I could not get a hold of her. I have recommended IKON to other HOAs. Large claims can be stressful. There is a lot of follow up and time sensitive work and approvals that need attention ASAP. Monica and IKON handled every detail immediately

I had the pleasure to deal with Matt of Ikon, and he was a person of ethics, professionalism and so easy to work with. They were able to rebuild and restore the water damaged area on time and under budget. They took care of all our needs and besides being good at what they do, most of all they were very clean. Thank you Matt for a great job. Highly recommend them.

Ikon Builders were an absolute pleasure to work with, especially in a really trying time. We had water damage due to a neighbors leaky pipe and I was in over my head with knowing where to even begin. Starting with Selena, who walked me through each and every step, answering every question I had (and there were quite a few) promptly and kindly- I immediately felt like I was in good hands. First, they did drywall removal and drying, Alex and Israel came by every day (calling first to make sure it fit in with the babys nap and distance learning) to check on equipment and make sure we werent

I'm extremely thankful for this company, the past couple of weeks have been rough especially during this pandemic. This company works with passion and the results really do show. This is the first time I've had to deal with any sort of water damage in my home, its extremely stressful and Ikon made the process smooth for my wife and I.
