About this company
Valley Pro Restoration & Contractor is a locally owned restoration company based in Los Banos, California, operating across the Central Valley since 2004. They serve both English and Spanish-speaking customers with water damage restoration, fire damage cleanup, mold inspection and remediation, and general contracting. Their primary Google category is water damage restoration, but mold work — inspection, removal, and remediation — is a significant part of their service line.
What stands out is the breadth of in-house capability. They handle the full cycle from emergency water extraction and dehumidification through mold removal and reconstruction, including new flooring, baseboards, and painting. Their website describes a five-step mold removal process involving containment, negative air pressure, antimicrobial treatments, and post-removal assessment. They also offer drug lab cleanup and biohazard services, which is uncommon for a company this size. They claim IICRC certification, BBB accreditation, and a 5-year warranty on rebuilds.
The company has operated from the same Los Banos address for over two decades. The contact email points to a David, and reviews mention David sitting down with a business owner to plan a build-out. The team photo on the website shows a crew with multiple branded vans. They bill insurance directly and offer financing.
A perfect 5.0 rating across 38 Google reviews is rare for any restoration company. The review volume is modest, and many reviews are brief or text-free, but the ones with detail consistently mention fast arrival, respectful crews, and end-to-end project handling. No reviewer has left fewer than 4 stars.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Los Banos, California. Covers Merced County, Madera County, and Stanislaus County, including Merced, Atwater, Gustine, Chowchilla, Turlock, Modesto, and Dos Palos. Also lists Gilroy, Hollister, and San Martin in Santa Clara and San Benito counties — these are 60-90 miles west of Los Banos, so confirm response times for those areas.
Review consensus
Carlos appears in two reviews for strong customer service. Martin drew praise from Don Wendover for arriving promptly and identifying the problem quickly. Roberto was noted by Maria D Rosario Morales for leading the team well. Josh earned detailed praise from Dino Valentino, a Google Local Guide with 361 reviews, for understanding and quality remodeling work. David was singled out by a business owner (Soya Tea Lounge) for sitting down to listen, offer suggestions, and bring a vision to life. Across reviews with text, the recurring themes are fast response, respectful workers, and willingness to handle insurance paperwork. Danny Delgado described a full water-damage-to-rebuild cycle handled entirely by Valley Pro. Tammybyu, a Local Guide with 23 reviews, emphasized communication and going above expectations.
0 found across 38 total reviews at 5★. No negative reviews found. Every one of the 38 reviews is 5 stars.
The review profile has an unusual shape: a perfect 5.0 with zero negatives, but 38 total reviews over 20+ years of operation is low volume. A cluster of 15+ reviews landed in June 2024 within a two-week window, many from single-review accounts with no text. This pattern is common when a business asks satisfied customers to leave reviews during a push, and it does not indicate fake reviews — but it does mean the review base is thinner than the star count might suggest.
Carlos (customer service — positive, mentioned by Darnell Ladd and Eric). Martin (field technician — positive, mentioned by Don Wendover for prompt arrival and diagnosing problems). Roberto (team lead — positive, mentioned by Maria D Rosario Morales). Josh (remodeling — positive, mentioned by Dino Valentino for understanding and quality work). David (owner/planner — positive, mentioned by Soya Tea Lounge for hands-on planning and follow-through).
With zero negatives and consistent praise for fast, respectful work, Valley Pro is a solid option in the Los Banos area — especially if you need water damage and mold handled together with insurance billing. Ask for Carlos or Martin by name. Because the review volume is modest, get references for mold-specific jobs before committing.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold inspection and mold remediation. That means the same company diagnosing the problem also profits from fixing it. Ask whether they use a third-party inspector or would accept one you hire independently.
- The service area listed on their website stretches from Gilroy and San Martin in the west to Madera and Turlock in the east — a span of over 100 miles. Response times may vary significantly outside Merced County.
- Most of the 38 Google reviews are very brief or have no text at all. Several were posted on the same dates in June 2024 by single-review accounts. The praise is consistent but thin on detail.
- Their website contains template text referencing other company names ("Renew Restoration," "Palmdale," "North East Georgia"), which suggests some pages were built from boilerplate rather than original content.
