Horrible company…

Best company to have by your side during a house fire—a truly devastating event. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and combines that with a personal touch, which makes a huge difference when navigating everything that comes with fire damage. I’ve recommended them to clients in the past and always received positive feedback. This time, I had to hire them myself after a fire at my own home, and I finally experienced firsthand what my clients had been talking about.
Quick, professional, and compassionate are the best words to describe their team. Mark Kobrya was an incredible asset—his excellent communication skills kept the entire process smooth and easy to understand.
Great job, Good Life Fire Restoration team!

If you only read the first few lines of this review, here’s all you need to know: if GoodLife comes up as an option for your construction or restoration project, stop searching and hire them. It will be the best decision you make.
Memorial Day weekend 2025 was a disaster at our home. We returned from a morning out to find most of our downstairs flooded from a ruptured dishwasher drain line. The insurance company came the next day, ripped everything out, and left us with nothing. When their adjuster finally showed up, his estimate was less than one-third of the actual cost. I’m no contractor, but I knew this was going to be a fight—and that the insurance company would try to nickel-and-dime us instead of doing the right thing.
Like anyone would, I turned to Google. After reading countless reviews, one name kept rising to the top: GoodLife Restoration. That’s how I met Mark Kobrya. From our very first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. He listened with genuine compassion, was upfront about the challenges ahead, and promised to fight for me as if it were his own mother’s home. He lived up to every word—working tirelessly until we had full approval to begin rebuilding.
Once construction started, I was introduced to Tim Konoplich. Don’t let his age fool you—this guy has more construction management talent in one finger than I could hope for in a lifetime. Planning with him was effortless. He took our existing kitchen design and suggested small but brilliant changes that completely transformed the final result. We were so impressed that we even paid extra for additional projects beyond what insurance covered.
As for the construction crews themselves—they were nothing short of remarkable. Every single person who came through our door was kind, respectful, motivated to get the job done right, and left the house cleaner each day than when they arrived. Our home is pure chaos with three teenage boys and an energetic lab puppy, but they worked seamlessly around it all.
The project took four long months, but the final result exceeded every expectation we could have imagined. Simply put, our home is better than ever.
I can say with absolute confidence: I will never call another contractor. GoodLife has earned not just a customer, but a raving fan for life.

We experienced a massive pipe burst in our kitchen that caused extensive water damage to our cabinets, floors, and walls. The Good Life Restoration team was absolutely amazing from start to finish. They arrived promptly, assessed the damage, and began the restoration process immediately. The whole team was friendly, thorough, and made sure to keep us informed as they worked. What stood out most was their attention to detail—they didn’t just focus on removing the water; they also ensured there was no lingering moisture that could lead to mold. Thanks to them, our kitchen looks as good as new. I would not hesitate to use their services again.

My wife and I just completed a 2 year process where we completely rebuilt and added new square footage to our duplex. Our duplex was destroyed by a fire. It took 2 years to rebuild because of dealing with the insurance company and the biggest culprit. - dealing with the local city government. Goodlife, our contractor, was extremely helpful during this time period. They did their best in handling the demands of all the government entities and moving the project along.
All this was very confusing and frustrating for us. Particularly in trying to track the finances. This is where we came to rely on Mark (Goodlife’s estimator). He was able to clearly and precisely track the material and labor costs and guide us through the numerous financial decisions we had to make. So a big thanks to Mark and the entire Goodlife Construction team.

✅ Reply to owner: Thank you for your thoughtful and respectful response here on the Good Life Restoration page. I appreciate your willingness to listen and improve.
However, I encourage others to also check out your reply on the Good Life Construction page, which is quite different in tone and content. It backtracks on many points you acknowledged here and claims no involvement in my project, which contradicts your earlier statements.
This inconsistency is exactly why I felt uneasy during the process, and why I shared my experience — to help future clients be fully informed.
I hope your team continues to reflect and work toward greater clarity and transparency moving forward.
🚩 (REVIEW) Dishonest, Corner-Cutting, and Manipulative
We initially hired this restoration company after they promised us permits would be pulled, discounts on materials, and that all selections would be made before any demolition started. They said the right things and presented themselves as professional — but their behavior quickly changed after we signed the bid.
Once their contractor came out to assess the rebuild, their story shifted. Suddenly, they wanted to demo the home before we had chosen materials, before a rebuild plan was finalized, and without permits, despite the job involving over $20,000 worth of work in a condo with shared plumbing and walls — which absolutely requires proper permits. When questioned, they made excuses and claimed permits weren’t necessary for “small jobs.” This was an obvious attempt to cut corners and avoid accountability.
Even worse, they planned to send their rebuild crew in at the same time as the demo team, likely to avoid permit scrutiny and speed through the job without proper oversight. When we pushed back, they became evasive, rude, tried to mansplain and clearly just wanted to rush through the demolition, get paid, and leave us with the burden of delays, unapproved plans, and potentially unpermitted work — all while we’re still living in the home.
They also admitted that we were one of their few cash clients — meaning they had no understanding or respect for a client paying out of pocket. They tried hard-sell tactics to get us to visit their showroom and commit to materials before we even had clear plans. It felt more like dealing with a used car salesman than a trusted restoration contractor.
The company’s contractors license is valid, but I recommend verifying that the individual contractors they send are properly licensed and that their license numbers match, as I’ve seen cases in the industry where some companies have had issues with misrepresented licenses. My dad, a retired building code inspector with over 20 years of experience, has encountered situations like this before, so it’s something to be cautious about.”
They only have about 30 reviews — and I’d take those with a grain of salt. This is a real, unpaid, and honest review: be very careful before you hire this company, even if your insurance is covering the job. We canceled our contract before they could demo because the red flags were just too big to ignore.

It took me some time to write this review because my journey with Goodlife was truly unique. Two years ago, my home was destroyed in a storm when two oak trees fell on it, leaving it uninhabitable. Initially, I hired a different company to handle the rebuild, but the process was full of issues and delays. Frustrated, I reached out to my insurance adjuster to switch contractors, and that's when I found Goodlife--and my journey with them began. From the very start, Goodlife was honest, transparent, and incredibly supportive. I felt an immediate connection with them. They moved quickly, handling all the details and guiding me through the selection process for materials and designs. Since this was a complete rebuild, I knew it would take time, and in the end, the project lasted about a year and a half. Throughout the entire process, they were with me every step of the way, always gracious and understanding. During this time, my life took an unexpected and devastating turn. My husband of 41 years became very ill and passed away. With my children living far away--one in a different state and another in a different country--I found myself alone. But Goodlife became so much more than just a contractor; they became a part of my family. They didn't just focus on rebuilding my house--they made sure I was okay. They asked how they could help, listened when I needed to talk, and treated me with incredible compassion. Mark, in particular, went above and beyond to fight for me. He worked tirelessly to ensure I got everything I needed and deserved, he was soooo amazing!!! He held my hand EVERY step of the way! and the result is a home that is absolutely stunning. Olesia who handled the financing, was like my angel--keeping me updated on payment plans, timelines, and costs with so much grace and care. Communication was constant, clear, and reassuring throughout the entire process. When the house was finally finished, I hosted a "Goodlife party" to celebrate and thank the team for everything they had done. Even now, they remain a big part of my life. We keep in touch, and I still have them over--they will always be part of my family! Big thanks to Roman, Tim, Scott, Mary, Serge and Artem, Mark, Olesia and Ella! Goodlife didn't just rebuild my home; they helped me rebuild my life during one of the hardest times I've ever faced. Their kindness, professionalism, and unwavering support are things I will never forget. Dima Tupikov, the owner of the company, has done an outstanding job and the team they have assembled is equally impressive! Everyone there is amazing and Dima himself is no exception! He even took the time to come to the gathering. I am forever grateful to them for not only creating a beautiful home but for being there when I needed it most. Goodlife is making dreams come true!!!

We reached out to Good Life after experiencing a devastating house fire in November 2022. From the moment we reached out, they were extremely helpful in guiding us in the right direction. Having never gone through anything like this, they handled all communication with our insurance, always keeping us in the loop. Alan, our project manager, was always super responsive and patient with our requests. Even with a few hangups caused by our insurance, we were back in our home 1 year later, just in time for the holidays. Dealing with a such a stressful situation, the last thing you want to worry about is finding a reputable and trusting contractor. We are grateful we chose Good Life to help us restore our home and would recommend them to anyone going through a similar tragic situation.

From the beginning of interactions with Goodlife Restoration to the end, they treated us with professionalism and guided us through the restoration of our home, from a fire that was considered a total loss. The Project Manager on our home was Jose Gutierrez, and we cannot express how much we appreciate his professionalism and dedication to getting us back into our home. He was available 24/7 and would address our concerns or questions in a timely manner. He communicated the process in a manner we could understand. Hopefully we will never need to rebuild our home again, but we would not hesitate to use Goodlife, and Jose, if that need ever occurred.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional service provided by Good Life Fire. After a pipe burst in our basement, causing significant water damage, their team was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful from the moment we called.
They arrived quickly, conducted a thorough assessment, and immediately began the water extraction process. Utilizing advanced equipment, they efficiently dried out the area and took necessary measures to prevent mold growth, which was a major concern for us. Throughout the entire process, they kept us informed and were always available to address any questions or concerns we had.
Additionally, their assistance in navigating the insurance claim process was invaluable, significantly reducing our stress during this challenging time. Our basement now looks better than ever, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the results.
For anyone in need of water damage restoration, I highly recommend Good Life Fire. Their expertise, dedication, and outstanding customer service are truly unmatched.
