What this listing says
North Bay homeowners dealing with mold alongside asbestos or lead concerns, where a single environmental firm with dry-ice blasting and thermal imaging can handle multiple hazards under one contract.
Best for
- Rohnert Park and Sonoma County residents who need mold remediation from a firm that also handles asbestos and lead if those hazards turn up during the project.
- Property owners facing multi-hazard situations where mold exists alongside asbestos in older buildings, avoiding the need to coordinate separate contractors.
- Commercial property managers who want a single environmental vendor with multiple crews and statewide licensing.
About this company
CVE (Central Valley Environmental) operates out of Rohnert Park in Sonoma County as one of several California offices for this statewide environmental firm. Mold remediation is one piece of a much broader operation that includes asbestos abatement, lead removal, demolition, contaminated soil work, and decontamination. Their North Bay location has been open for over 15 years; the company overall claims 30 years in the industry.
What sets them apart from mold-only shops: they own dry-ice blasting equipment for large-scale mold removal and use thermal imaging cameras to locate hidden moisture. They run multiple crews, which means they can typically schedule faster than single-crew operations. Their Class A and Class B contractor licenses plus DOSH registrations reflect a firm built around regulated hazardous material work, not just mold.
This is a multi-office company with locations in Fresno, San Diego, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Vernalis, and offices in Nevada, Idaho, and Arizona. They hold memberships in the North Coast Builders Exchange, Marin Builders Association, and Central Coast Builders Association, among others. The Google listing for this Rohnert Park location carries 23 reviews at 4.2 stars — a small sample that makes the rating volatile.

Review consensus
David gets credit for clear communication and helping customers understand the work process. Francisco and Angel earned praise for leaving a garage spotless after asbestos abatement. Jesus was singled out as an effective mold remediation specialist by a repeat customer who called his pricing fair and midrange. Allen and Erika were noted for accommodating a homeowner dealing with whole-house asbestos cross-contamination. Several reviewers highlight the cleanup quality — multiple people comment that CVE left no trace of the work.
3 found across 23 total reviews at 4.2★. The sole 1-star review describes aggressive driving by a truck with a CVE logo in San Jose. The owner responded that this location does not operate RAM trucks and that the plate number belongs to a different company, CVE Contracting Services. This appears to be a case of mistaken identity. The two 3-star reviews tell a different story: one is text-free with no detail, and the other describes a no-show appointment, multiple calls to get a crew dispatched, and containment tape that stripped paint from doorframes and vents throughout the house. When the reviewer asked for repairs, CVE pointed to contract fine print waiving liability for containment damage. The owner responded offering resolution via email.
The paint-damage complaint reveals a structural issue: CVE's contract explicitly disclaims liability for tape damage from containment work. This is not a one-off oversight — it is a deliberate contractual term. The owner response to the same complaint offered to find a resolution via email, which suggests the company may be willing to negotiate outside the fine print, but the contract language itself protects them. Owner response rate on recent negatives is 67% (2 of 3), and the responses are personalized rather than template-based.
David (project coordinator — positive, praised for communication and transparency). Francisco (field crew — positive, praised for meticulous asbestos cleanup). Angel (field crew — positive, praised alongside Francisco for clean work). Jesus (mold remediation — positive, called the best mold specialist by a repeat customer). Allen (office/scheduling — positive, praised for accommodating a difficult situation). Erika (office/scheduling — positive, praised alongside Allen for responsiveness).
If your project involves mold plus asbestos or lead, CVE can handle it all under one contract — that is their real strength. Ask about their containment tape policy before signing, and get the liability waiver terms in writing. For mold-only jobs, ask for Jesus by name if he is still on staff — he is the one reviewer-confirmed mold specialist.
Keep in mind
- CVE does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest — the same company diagnosing the problem also profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent inspection before committing to their remediation scope.
- One reviewer reported the containment tape stripped paint throughout their house, and CVE's contract includes fine print waiving liability for tape damage. Ask specifically about tape types and surface protection before work begins.
- With 23 Google reviews and a 4.2 rating on this location, the review sample is thin. This is a large multi-office company, so most of their reputation may live under their other office listings.
- Mold is not CVE's primary focus — asbestos abatement and demolition are their core business. If you need a specialist who works mold jobs every day, this may not be the right fit.
