For remodeling contractors and design-build firms
Six-figure remodels demand airtight reviews. We keep every platform (Google, Houzz, Angi) converting design-build buyers.
Choose what you need removed
Pay upfront. If the specific Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days of payment, we refund the removal fee to your original payment method. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days. Google, Yelp and the sites we file with make the final decision.

30 / 90 days
The upfront refund windows for a remodeling company: 30 days for Google and 90 days for Yelp and other platforms.
$0 today
Upfront fees are refunded after our review if a Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days. Pay upon removal: save a card, pay $0 today, and pay $50 more per item only once each removal is documented. No refund term applies because nothing is charged before removal.
The stakes
The digital front door to every remodeling company is its review profile. Here's what's at stake.
$85k
average kitchen-remodel project value
Every filtered lead is a real revenue hit.
Photo-driven
buyers filter aggressively on Houzz
We combine review + photo-asset strategy for full protection.
Long sales cycle
amplifies review importance
A single bad review can suppress inquiry flow for a full quarter.
How buyers decide
The crisis card above puts an average kitchen remodel at $85,000, with a long sales cycle and buyers who filter aggressively on Houzz. A remodel is lived in for years, and homeowners read reviews looking for the story about the contractor who walked off the job.
The Houzz-to-Google jump
Homeowners find a remodeler's photos on Houzz and confirm on Google before requesting a design consultation. A one-star on Google that describes a project abandoned mid-demo ends that jump.
The change-order accusation
Remodeling's specific fear is a budget that doubles through change orders. A review claiming that, even from a homeowner who never signed a contract, confirms the fear for every prospect comparing design-build firms.
The partner veto the night before signing
One person chooses the firm and the other reads the reviews the night before the contract is signed. A single unresolved accusation at the top of the profile is what a cautious partner points at.

What the number above means
At the project size above, one lost design consultation is a large number. The crisis card notes a single bad review can suppress inquiry flow for a full quarter, and remodeling leads are expensive to replace.
Stop the leak at the review that causes it
One flat fee per item. Upfront fees are refunded after our review if a Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days. Pay upon removal: save a card, pay $0 today, and pay $50 more per item only once each removal is documented. No refund term applies because nothing is charged before removal. The platform makes the final decision.

ToS-Compliant Removal Escalations

Review Generation That Converts
Post-visit review invitations timed to your kitchen & bath remodeling workflow: automated, personal, and consent-based.
Buyer psychology
When choosing a remodeling company, consumers weigh authentic, high-volume reviews as the deciding signal between you and a competitor a single click away.
Recency wins
Buyers weigh reviews from the last 90 days most heavily. A stale 5-star profile still loses to a competitor with fresh momentum in kitchen & bath remodeling.
Volume signals safety
Prospects use raw review count as a proxy for legitimacy. Below 25 reviews, most local buyers filter your listing out entirely.
Response builds trust
How you respond to a 1-star review says more than the review itself. Silence reads as guilt, measured accountability reads as leadership.
One bad review, filtered forever
A single unaddressed 1-star can suppress kitchen & bath remodeling local pack rankings and cut click-through by 30% or more.
Compliance-first
Every workflow, from response to removal filing, is built to keep your Kitchen & Bath Remodeling business on the right side of platform policy and consumer-protection law. We never post fake reviews, incentivize ratings, or violate directory terms.
The rules that apply to you
Every statement below is sourced. Read them before you decide how to handle a review.
Wrong company
Similar company names, shared trade names and franchise territories mean a remodeling company regularly receives reviews about work another company performed. The estimate and dispatch record establishes it, and the filing cites the genuine-experience ground.

Reading the newest first
BrightLocal's 2025 consumer survey tracks how people read local reviews during research, including the weight placed on recent negatives. A fresh one-star at the top of the profile is what a homeowner sees while they are still building the shortlist.

16 CFR Part 465
Since October 21, 2024 the FTC rule on consumer reviews bans fake reviews, insider reviews presented as customer reviews, and paying for positive or negative reviews, with civil penalties available per violation. For a remodeling company that leaves two lawful moves: earn real reviews, and report the ones that break platform policy.

Policy grounds only
Google's own help documentation says any review can be reported but only content that violates its policies is eligible for removal. That is why a case starts by matching the wording to a named policy: fake engagement, off topic, impersonation, harassment, personal information or conflict of interest.

Timeline
Nothing here is a promise of removal, because that decision belongs to the platform. Most Google removals take 7–21 days; Yelp and other platforms typically take 60–90 days. Complex cases use a Custom Care Plan with their own timeline.
Day 0 · Free scan and eligibility read
We pull the live review or page from Google and Houzz and Angi, quote it verbatim, and say which policy it breaks. If nothing breaks a rule we say so and take no fee.
Days 1-3 · Filing with the job record
The estimate, invoice or dispatch record shows whether the reviewer was ever a customer, and whether the job named in the review was yours or another company with a similar name.
Platform moderation
Google evaluates reports against its prohibited and restricted content policy; most Google removals take 7–21 days. Yelp and other platforms typically take 60–90 days. The platform decides the timing.
Days 10-21 · Appeal where the first report is declined
A declined report is not the end. Google provides an appeal route for reviews it decides to keep, and a second filing that cites a different policy ground and better evidence is often what moves it.
Day 30 (Google) / Day 90 (Yelp & other platforms): refund deadline
Upfront fees are refunded after our review if a Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days. No claim or form is required. Refunds are issued within 5 business days of the deadline.
Before you start
The start form takes a few minutes if you have these four things in front of you. Nothing else is required to open the case.
The exact link to the review or page
On Google, open the review, use the three-dot menu and choose Share to copy its direct link. On Yelp, use the share icon under the review. For a harmful page, paste the full URL from the address bar.
Your business name exactly as it appears on the profile
Copy the company name from the Google listing. Firms with a showroom listing and a service-area listing need the case opened on the one that carries the review.
Why the item breaks the platform's rules
One or two sentences is enough. Typical grounds for a remodeling company: the reviewer only received a design estimate and never signed, the review is about a different firm, a former subcontractor or competitor posted it, or it accuses a named employee of theft with nothing behind it.
Your preferred payment option
Pay upfront: $397 for Google, $697 for Yelp, or $497 for another site or harmful link. Pay upon removal: save a card, pay $0 today, and pay $50 more per item only once each removal is documented. No refund term applies because nothing is charged before removal. Pay upfront. If the specific Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days of payment, we refund the removal fee to your original payment method. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days.
Job-type economics, the grounds a case gets filed on, what to have ready, and every source behind the numbers on this page.
Read the Kitchen & Bath Remodeling guideA review describing a project that never existed fails the genuine-experience rule on Google and Yelp. We document the absence of any contract, deposit or permit and file on that basis.

No refund term applies because nothing is charged before removal.
Reviews from vendors, subcontractors and former staff are a conflict of interest under platform policy. When we can show the business relationship, that is a strong report. You only need to identify the connection.
Self-serve removal covers Google at $397, Yelp at $697 and harmful links at $497. Houzz and lead platforms run their own dispute processes, and we walk through them in a consultation rather than charging for a filing that has no route.
Most Google removals: 7–21 days. Yelp and other platforms: typically 60–90 days. The platform decides the timing. Complex cases involving defamation, legal escalation, coordinated attacks, or many items across platforms are quoted individually through the Custom Care Plan, with their own timeline.
No. We only pursue reviews that violate a platform's Terms of Service: fake, off-topic, defamatory, extortive, or conflict-of-interest. Legitimate complaints are addressed via a response strategy, not deletion.
Yes. Every workflow (outreach, invitations, responses, removal appeals) is aligned with the FTC Endorsement Guides and each platform's ToS. We keep audit-ready logs of every action.

Every statistic cited inline on this page is drawn from the following industry sources. Citations remain inline alongside each figure so context stays with the claim.
The policy list a removal report has to cite: fake engagement, off-topic content, impersonation, harassment, personal information and conflicts of interest.
Annual consumer survey on how people find, read and act on local business reviews, including how much weight they give the newest negative reviews.
Federal rule effective October 21, 2024. Bans fake or AI-generated reviews, reviews by insiders presented as customers, and buying positive or negative reviews. This is why removal has to be argued on policy grounds instead of countered with bought reviews.
Google's own documentation of the report route: any review can be reported, only reviews that break a content policy are eligible for removal, and the decision is Google's.
Yelp states that reported content is evaluated by its moderators and that the evaluation may take several days, with an email sent when it is done.
