Best for
- Homeowners in Luck, Spooner, Almena, or surrounding Polk and Burnett County areas dealing with water damage or mold after flooding or pipe failures.
- Buyers who want a single contractor to manage the full chain from water extraction through mold removal to structural rebuilding and roofing.
- Property owners who want their restoration company to handle insurance claim communication directly.
About this company
First Response Restoration operates out of Luck, Wisconsin, and serves the rural western part of the state plus parts of eastern Minnesota. They are primarily a water damage restoration company that also handles mold removal, fire damage, roofing, siding, and full reconstruction. The business holds Wisconsin General Contractor License DCQ3790.
The website claims over 20 years of experience and describes using infrared moisture detection scanners and industrial dehumidifiers for water damage work. For mold jobs, the site references HEPA filtration, air scrubbers, containment, and antimicrobial treatments. Nothing about their equipment list stands out as unusual for a restoration company, but the breadth of services under one roof means they can take a water damage job from emergency extraction through mold remediation to roof replacement and reconstruction without subcontracting.

0 found across 18 total reviews at 4.7★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With only 18 total reviews, the absence of complaints is notable but the sample is small.
This reads like a one-person operation built around Jeff. He is named in the majority of reviews, handles the estimates, communicates with insurance, and apparently leads the field work. That personal touch drives the positive reviews but raises a question about capacity. If Jeff is spread across water damage, mold, roofing, and siding jobs simultaneously, response times could vary.
Jeff (owner/operator — positive across 10+ reviews for responsiveness, insurance advocacy, and hands-on work).
Ask for Jeff directly and confirm his availability for your timeline. If your job involves mold, get a separate mold test from an independent inspector before agreeing to remediation. Verify how quickly they can reach your specific location, especially if you are outside Polk County.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company deciding you have a mold problem is also the one billing you to fix it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation work.
- They market water damage restoration services in towns across western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota, including Shafer MN and Hinckley MN. From a base in Luck WI, some of those locations are 60+ miles away. Confirm response time for your specific location before an emergency.
- With only 18 Google reviews, the sample size is small. The 4.7-star rating looks solid but a few bad experiences could shift it significantly.
