Our company provides premier mold remediation and water damage services while ensuring that our client's privacy is respected along the entire way. From minimalistic labeling on work vehicles and uniforms to a very respectable team, we provide the quality discreet service that is uncommonly found in this industry. Our existing clients include Fortune 500 companies, insurance carriers, major hotel branches, small businesses and homeowners.
They told me I would have to hire their specialist to first test the specific "type" of mold that was apparent on the wall behind the valve leak in my shower. Why would it matter if the mold was apparent on the wall? My guess is they were hoping I would make an insurance claim out of it so they could gouge, costing all who pay insurance in the end. Thank goodness I did some self research and sought honest mold professionals. Saved myself 350$ for needless testing and steered clear of their service. Honesty leads you through good paths; unfortunately, that is does not appear to be their motto.

Hi [Member Name Removed], First and foremost, I wanted to add clarity to a couple of areas. As far as our company having our own specialist for mold testing, this is certainly not the case. Our standard operating procedures include connecting our clients with colleagues that are the best fit for their current needs or situation. As far as apparent mold on a wall, remediation companies (such as ourselves) are not the ones that make the determination as to what is and is not mold - hence the recommendation to contact a specialist; which in this case would be a licensed mold assessment company. These companies not only determine what is mold, but also whether or not this mold has impacted the air quality in your home. This is vital information that we unfortunately cannot provide due to laws not allowing for testing and remediation by the same company. Regarding the promotion of an insurance claim for self-gain, this is another area that we do not engage in. Whether the damage(s) are being paid by a homeowner or an insurance carrier, this does not impact the manner in which we conduct business. I encourage you, and anyone reading this review to look over what other folks have shared in reference to our estimating and preliminary evaluation process. It should also be noted that nearly 75% of the restoration services we provide to clients, such as yourself, do not relate to insurance claims. I would like to apologize for any area of our service that may have been taken out of context, or simply could have been explained more thoroughly. It is always our intention to educate our prospective clients during our initial meeting, as this allows for a more informed hiring decision. I welcome you to give our company another try, in the event that you undergo the need for restoration services, or simply want to better equip your home with moisture and leak sensors to prevent these types of occurrences. Thank you for your time, Josh

I had to back out of the original agreement (est. $2800) because after researching & placing a call directly to the AC subcontractor (Ductz Doctor, also on Angie's List) that DISCREET uses, I determined that the subcontractor DOES NOT perform the tasks either outlined in my original contract or required to remediate the mold in the air handler/ducts in my home. I relayed this information to Mike Gonzalez, Field Manager. I ended up contracting PART of the work to be done by DISCREET ($700) which was performed by Mike, Field Manager, and he did a food job. I hired ANOTHER company (also on Angie's List) ) to thoroughly clean and sanitize the Air Handler, remove and clean its inner parts (coil, blower, etc.), and clean AC ducts & all vents in order to remediate the mold.
Description of Work: Mold remediation of containment area, using HEPA air scrubber, sanitizer, etc. and safely remove/dispose of all contaminated items in the containment area (closet) and adjoining room with mold/spores (this was the REVISED* contract). The original contract included remediation of the Air Handler unit and ducts which was performed by another company.

Hi [Member Name Removed], Firstly, I do apologize that our HVAC contractor fell short of the needs on your project. As I'm sure Mike discussed with you, we strive to be able to provide every step of the cleaning & remediation process. There are unfortunately instances in which ourselves, and/ or our team of contractors are unable to provide specific services needed. I thank you for utilizing our company for the remediation process- that speaks volume to me and my team! Thank you, Josh

Efficient, proffesional, honest, super clean made sure everything was done from beginning to end. Always kept in touch with me and explained everything being done. Had experienced disnhonest and unprofessionalism with a couple of other remediation company’s when getting estimates. Josh, Alan and Mike were always available during the process and were easy to work with. After the work was done I asked if they would leave some of the equipment to hold the plastic barrier walls while I was having drywall replaced and they gladly left it so my unit wouldn’t get dust everywhere from the drywall sanding. Would refer them and definetively use them again. A 1 company.

Josh and his team are very first class. The first time we contracted them, they helped us through a difficult situation with professionalism and care. They were quick to identify the problem and act quickly on solving it. They are prompt, courteous and pay close attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend them if you need any mold remediation work done. After our mold remediation, I hired them again to help us with humidity issues we were having in the home. They are smart and creative and were very instrumental in helping to identify the problems and came up with solutions to rectify those problems. They put technology in place to help us closely monitor the activity in our home so that if there is ever another problem, it will be identified very quickly and resolved.

Two years ago, we had a water loss, which resulted in mold that affected multiple rooms in the house, including the AC system. Discreet, headed by Josh, who was very proactive, did an excellent job in eliminating the abnormal levels of mold and brought the house back to normal, which was verified by an outside company, which took samples from the house that were tested in a lab. Josh made sure not to incur unnecessary expense so that all mold-related damage was covered within the limits of our insurance. Josh also gave us practical advice to help guide us through the ordeal. Josh routinely goes above and beyond the call of duty. We were concerned about some algae formation in the patio area just outside the front entry to our house. Given our past history in hiring Discreet, Josh, at our request, came to our house and looked at the outside and the inside and assured us that the outside condition was exclusively an outside issue and had zero impact on the inside of our house. He also gave us tips on how to eliminate the algae. He also told us what he suspected to be the source of the algae so that we could take steps to prevent it from recurring. Josh and Discreet also provide quick service, even around the holidays. They care about their customers, which is something that cannot be taken for granted, especially considering the many competitors who do not care and who see their customers as dollar signs. We have recommended Josh/Discreet to our friends and we will not hesitate to use them or recommend them in the future as the need arises.

Wow! Just wow. Thank you so much for the detailed review, [Member Name Removed]. As the owner of the company, I greatly appreciate the amount of instances in which my name showed up in your review, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Both Allen and Mike, our operation manager and project manager, played a major role in the smooth operation of your remediation project. Without these individuals and the hardworking technicians that we have in the field, nothing that we accomplish on a daily basis would be possible. Given that building science is a passion of ours, we greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with you again on the exterior symptoms that you were seeing. Hopefully your environmental issues are over! If not, you know how to reach us. ;) - Josh Winton

Discreet Restoration, and specifically Allen and Josh, the owner, demonstrated professionalism throughout the process. I had several questions at the beginning, all of which Allen was able to answer. He was willing to address all my concerns (something I didn't encounter with other companies). They were punctual and careful in their work and communicated clearly throughout the process. They really went above and beyond to make sure the problem was taken care of. I'm very glad I went with Discreet Restoration.

The service man was great! Other estimators came out and were going to charge me over $1000 to remove a small section of fiber board and clean mold from concrete. This company instead told me how to do it myself and even gave me the chemical spray for free. They are a great company with great values and aren't looking to rip people off.

I had discovered some water damage in the master bathroom and after doing a initial mold test, I received the bad news that there was indeed mold. After searching through the Angie's List reviews I decided to go with Discreet Restoration. From the beginning they were professional and courteous. They presented the estimate and I contacted them to setup the remediation process. The workers were on time and did a GREAT job with containing the area. The even had plastic protecting my carpet that lead out of the bathroom and out of the house. During the whole process I was informed about what was being done and they even went a step further and did some investigation and let me know that they had found some potential areas of where the leaks may be coming from (and these were ones that I was unaware of). I always felt that they had my interest in mind and that they took pride in providing an honest and quality-based approach when working at my home. Hopefully I never had water/mold issues again, but If I do I would not hesitate in using this company. I highly recommend them if you ever are in need of their services. Thanks Discreet.

iscreettWe purchased a house and soon found out, on top of many other problems that were not disclosed, the brand new kitchen was done over black mold. After being scammed by the LLC we purchased the house from, we were extremely nervous about being taken advantage of again. From the moment Mike came over, through dealing with Allen during, & until the end, we felt comfortable and at ease that we were in good hands. Mike came across so honest on that first day and Allen held that same honesty throughout. Not only did they do a fantastic job, We were kept in the loop about everything. They started and finished when they said they would and the payment was what they said it would be (and worth every penny). I cannot say enough about this company (and anyone they referred us to for other services). Allen was in constant contact with me, never dodged a call, fixed any problem that came up, and always treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. I would refer anyone to this company and anyone they work with! Thank you Discreet Restoration!!

We were impressed with the professionalism of everyone connected with this company starting with the salesman, Mike, to the crew, and air conditioning sub contractors, and Josh the owner. They were dependable, accessable, and puctual and very willing to work with the independant mold expert, and work around the contractors who were doing the build back. Discreet was not the least expensive mold remediation company that gave us estimates, but the company with whom we felt most comfortable . First impressions started with Mike who was honest and was sympathetic with our particular situation, and Josh who provided us with a thorough estimate of the scope of work we wanted done, unlike the other companies who didn't submit detailed estimates. We have had a lot of construction going on in our house this past year and have come to the conclusion that problems always arise, but a true test of a company's worth is how they resolve those problems. Minor problems did arise with Discreet that were brought to our attention, (which we probably wouldn't have noticed until much after they were gone) but Josh resolved them quickly and wouldn't accept final payment until we were satisfied. If I need a Mold Remediation Company in the future, I will use Discreet Restoration and I would highly recommend them.

His crew was polite and neat and generally considerate of my home. A little expensive and worth every penny mostly because they were in and out as promised. Josh dealt directly with my insurance company representatives making the process of filing a claim easy and painless. Good Job guys and thanks for helping me get my house back into shape.

No specific mold problems were found but we discussed other causes of my allergies, dust mites, and get back to me on the results. He did exactly that within a few days and we both concluded that a medical consultation and follow-up was what I needed to do to deal with the dust mite allergy.
