Best for

  • Anchorage-area homeowners who need mold remediation tied to a water or fire loss and want the same crew to handle the rebuild.

About this company

CMC Construction is an Anchorage-based restoration company owned by Chad and Mary Irvine. Chad has done construction work in Alaska since 2000 and opened CMC in 2010, adding restoration services around 2015. They handle the full arc of a property loss: emergency response, water extraction, mold remediation, fire cleanup, and the rebuild afterward — all under one roof.

On the mold side, CMC uses containment barriers, HEPA vacuums, and a botanical antimicrobial spray treatment. They reference following IICRC and EPA requirements for containment. For water damage, they use moisture meters and thermal cameras to map affected areas before starting demolition. Their website emphasizes salvaging materials over tearing them out — they say they get approval before any demolition.

The company claims over 100 combined years of restoration experience across its staff and runs 24/7 emergency response year-round. Multiple reviewers confirm CMC handled their insurance claims directly, writing estimates and filing supplement documentation on their behalf.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Tim is the most frequently named staff member across reviews. Reviewers credit him with strong communication, insurance coordination, and keeping projects on schedule. Melissa Cope says Tim helped deal with insurance and answered all her questions. Nick Stewart calls Tim responsive and helpful across multiple visits. C T praises Tim's team-building and leadership. Dan drew praise from Justin S. for detail-oriented project management on a kitchen remodel and floor replacement with 'zero complaints.' Brian managed an extensive water damage repair for Alaina Saculla. Cesar, Nick, and Craig handled a crawlspace flood for J Tung, arriving on time and working efficiently. Vicki in accounting was called 'a joy to work with' by Richard W. Several reviewers highlight CMC's willingness to handle insurance paperwork directly.

What low reviews reveal

1 found across 26 total reviews at 4.7★. The single recent negative comes from William, who says CMC was unresponsive after initial contact about water damage to a small room and bathroom. He alleges the estimate reached $24K with unusual line items and hourly supervisor fees, and that CMC stopped communicating with both him and his insurance company. CMC's owner responded that the reviewer's name does not match any customer record, that no work was performed and no contract was signed, and that the insurer denied portions of the claim due to pre-existing conditions. The disagreement over whether the estimate was inflated or the insurance denial was legitimate remains unresolved.

Pattern worth noting

CMC's owner response to the single negative review is detailed and specific — citing the lack of a matching customer record, the insurance denial reason, and the fact that no work was performed. This is not a template response. With only one negative review in the recent window and a 100% response rate, there is not enough data to identify a complaint pattern. The positive reviews consistently highlight insurance claim handling as a differentiator, suggesting CMC's value proposition centers on managing the carrier relationship, not just the physical work.

Named staff

Tim (project oversight, communication — praised in multiple reviews). Dan (project lead — praised for attention to detail). Brian (project manager — praised for water damage rebuild). Cesar (field crew — praised for crawlspace work). Nick (field crew — praised for crawlspace work). Craig (field crew — praised for crawlspace work). Vicki (accounting — praised for ease of working with). Mike (job site supervisor — praised for quality and schedule). Jason (estimator — named in negative review as unresponsive).

Bottom line

With 25 of 26 reviews at 4-5 stars, CMC has a strong track record on insurance-driven restoration work in Anchorage. Ask for Tim if your project involves insurance coordination. The single negative review involves a disputed estimate where no work was performed and the parties disagree on the facts — worth noting but not a pattern.

Keep in mind

  • CMC does not do mold testing. You will need a separate inspector to confirm mold presence before remediation and to do clearance testing afterward.
  • This is primarily a restoration and construction company that added mold remediation later. Mold work is one piece of a broader service menu, not a standalone specialty.
  • The website references 'over 100 years of combined experience,' but that is spread across the entire staff — the company itself opened in 2010 and started restoration around 2015.
  • One recent reviewer alleged an inflated estimate and unresponsive communication. CMC's owner responded that insurance denied the claim due to pre-existing conditions, not estimate issues, and that no work was ever performed. The dispute remains unresolved.
