About this company
Yostin Water Damage & Restoration is an owner-operated restoration company headquartered in West Hills with a branch office in Reseda, serving the west San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles. Owner Omri Yostin runs the operation personally and shows up on most jobs. Their primary business is water damage restoration, but they also handle mold remediation, fire damage, biohazard cleanup, crawlspace services, and post-damage reconstruction.
The company handles the full sequence from water extraction through mold remediation to final repairs, all under one roof. Their website mentions IICRC certification, moisture meters, thermal imaging, and industrial dehumidifiers. They also do mold inspection and testing in-house, which means they both diagnose and fix the problem.
Omri claims 15-plus years of experience in restoration. The company holds California contractor license #1128773 and lists two offices covering Reseda and West Hills.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in West Hills with a branch office in Reseda, California. They list Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood as service areas, claiming a 50-mile radius. Reviews come from locations as distant as Simi Valley and Victorville, so actual reach may extend beyond the San Fernando Valley, though response times to farther locations are worth confirming.
Review consensus
Omri is named by nearly every reviewer. Customers consistently highlight his same-day or next-day responsiveness, clear communication about what the work involves, and hands-on presence throughout the project. Multiple reviewers mention he walked them through the process step by step. Warwick Downs, who runs a property management company, says they have used Omri on multiple occasions. Ben Oded, a general contractor, praises constant updates. Chris Westwood, a realtor with 20 years of experience, specifically notes that Omri did not oversell or exploit fear around mold, which he says is common in the industry. Several reviewers mention fair pricing and clean work sites.

Every review with text names Omri personally. This is an owner-operated business where Omri appears to be the primary point of contact on every job. That is a strength for now but raises a question about capacity: if volume grows, the personal-touch model may not scale. Several reviewers are from outside the immediate service area (Victorville, Simi Valley, Concord, Los Alamitos), which suggests either a broad actual reach or referral-based work.
Omri (owner — praised in nearly every review for responsiveness, clear communication, and hands-on project management).
At 22 reviews, Yostin is a small operation with a spotless record. Every reviewer who left text praises Omri by name, which is unusual. Ask for Omri directly and confirm he will be your point of contact. Because the sample size is small and the company does both testing and remediation, get an independent mold test to validate scope.
Keep in mind
- Yostin does both mold testing and mold remediation. This is a conflict of interest under California standards. Consider hiring an independent testing company to confirm the scope of work before and after remediation.
- The website claims "200+ Google Reviews" and "1000+ Projects Completed," but Google shows 22 reviews. Take self-reported volume figures with skepticism.
- They claim a 50-mile service radius from their office, covering Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood. Confirm actual availability and response times for locations far from Reseda or West Hills.
- With only 22 reviews, the 5.0 rating is a small sample. A single bad experience could shift the average noticeably.
