Ian and his crew did an amazing job replacing our front door and sidelights, as well as repairing the rotten wood around the entryway. From start to finish, they were professional, skilled, and paid great attention to detail. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding, and the finished project completely transformed the look of our home. They arrived on time, kept the work area clean, and made sure everything was completed perfectly. It's clear they take pride in their work. I couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Ian and his crew to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and excellent service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manta helped us immensely with a leak, water damage remediation, restoration of unique wood trim and left the area looking like nothing had ever happened. They are some of the most trustworthy, honest contractors we’ve ever worked with - highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When our kitchen ceiling had water pouring out of it (!) we called Ian for help. It was after normal working hours and he came over straight away to assess the situation. The rest of his team showed up shortly thereafter and immediately remediated and cleaned for us...and then restored the following week. Ian even helped correspond with our insurance company! I'm not impressed by most people - but Ian and team wholeheartedly rock.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian and his team were extremely helpful from start to finish.  They helped navigate my insurance claim, provide the right documents to get approved quickly and easily, and then did an amazing job restoring our basement back to it's original form.  I'd highly recommend him to help with any project you have.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Manta twice — to replace a collapsed plaster ceiling and to repair a rotting front porch. In both cases Manta did an excellent job. Not only was the work done well, but the crew was efficient and very detail-oriented. Communication was not a problem, either. All in all, totally professional.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A complete lifesaver!  I needed someone to on the spot open up a wall in the back of a very tight space due to a plumbing issue.  Frank came within a couple of hours of the phone call and squeezed himself into a very awkward space to quickly complete the job.  He was friendly, neat and professional.  I highly recommend Frank and Manta Design.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Manta.  We were out of town and last minute needed them to swing by our house for a status check.  They agreed to help out and were super responsive.  Provided us significant peace of mind while we were on vacation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our water heater was leaking while we were on vacation and water pooled in a closet for several days. I called Ian to take a look and advise me as to whether or not I needed to worry about mold. He was completely honest and told me to just run a fan and get a dehumidifier. He didn't even charge me for coming out on New Year's Eve morning! Will definitely use him again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian and the team at Manta did a phenomenal and efficient job building out our basement home gym. Ian helped conceptualize the design, pick materials, and worked within our budget to deliver a great outcome. Frank and team were courteous, communicative, and did high quality work. Highly recommend Manta!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian and the team at Manta are truly exceptional. Their extensive experience and expertise immediately put me at ease, and my project couldn’t have turned out any better. What really set them apart, though, was the genuine care they showed throughout the entire process, which made a world of difference. In an industry where integrity and craftsmanship can be hard to come by, Manta most definitely stands out. I wholeheartedly recommend them and will absolutely turn to them again for any future projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sump pump failed and basement was soaked. Texted the owner at 8 am and he was at my house in 20 minutes, within hours had fans and dehumidifiers working, area rugs to a cleaner, and by the next day had torn out and disposed of the soaked ruined carpet. Could not appreciate them more!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have now used Manta multiple times over the past few years when we've had water issues in our house. Ian an his team are quick to respond and have been able to diagnose issues quickly. We've had extensive damage in multiple rooms and Frank and the team do excellent work to repair and restore walls, molding, floors and more. I highly recommend Manta Property Group.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service provided by Frank, Andrew and Ian. This was for a bathroom leak that damaged the laundry room below. They showed up immediately when called to clean  up and continued through to repair/construct/paint until job was done.  They were prompt and were careful to cleanup every day Ian also dealt with insurance company once claim was reported Highly recommended. Excellent service

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough about Ian and his team- They have not only "saved" myself and my mother after water disaster, but they have helped create a new, clean space.  They are incredibly honest, and always follow through on what they intend to do. I really felt I was in capable, safe and trustworthy hands the entire time they were in my home. They are fairly priced and communication was always swift and clear.  In this world of questionable contractors, I absolutely have found a gem In Ian and his team at Manta Property Service Group.  They will always be my first, and only call. I suggest they be yours also!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best contractors we've ever worked with, by far.  We contracted with Manta to finish our basement.  As a first time home owner, I was wary of getting taken advantage of by shady contractors.  But once I met the guys at Manta I knew I was in good hands.  They worked with me step by step to create a budget and plan that my wife and I were comfortable with.  Each step of the way was easy, transparent, and hassle-free.  The basement looks fantastic and we couldn't be happier.  We'll be using Manta on future projects as well.

Ira and the entire team were very professional.  Andrew and Frank completed my project and they were great. They involved me in every decision in the project and the work was done as discussed. Communication was excellent. The team showed up as expected and completed work quickly and professionally. They were careful to clean the workspace after each visit. I would highly recommend Manta for your needs.

I had a leak over the weekend and Ian came out immediately to assess and determine the necessary services required for restoration. Ian was extremely professional and provided several options in an honest and detail oriented manner. I felt comfortable with having MANTA complete the job as the team was very knowledgeable and reasonable. They also took time to explain every part of the process. I would highly recommend MANTA and I would use them again in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian and the team at Manta are by far, the best in the business.  They are incredibly thorough, professional and responsive; three qualities you want in a contractor.  What we thought was a small leak in our basement ended up being a well-hidden water and mold issue that had been going on for years before we even owned our home.  They worked tirelessly with us to tackle complex drainage problems, both in the house and around our property, and develop solutions to ensure we didn’t face any other issues.  Once we were certain the water problems were solved, Ian and team designed and rebuilt a beautiful basement playroom for our family.  We will absolutely use them for any projects in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking to remediate an issue or remodel rooms in their home.
