Belmont Carpet Cleaning + Flood Restoration
Provider snapshot
What this listing says
Roaring Fork Valley homeowners dealing with water damage that has led to mold growth, who want a single company to handle extraction, drying, and mold removal under one roof.
Best for
- Homeowners in Carbondale, Basalt, Glenwood Springs, or Aspen who need mold removal after a water damage event and want one company to handle both.
- Commercial property managers in the Roaring Fork Valley who need weekend or after-hours emergency response for flooding and secondary mold growth.
- Buyers of mountain homes who want mold testing on a property that sat through a wet season, though you should consider getting a second opinion on test results given the conflict of interest.
- Families with health concerns about cleaning chemicals — their Green Seal products and low-moisture carpet system avoid the harsh chemicals and extended drying times of steam cleaning.
About this company
Belmont Clean + Restoration is a family-owned restoration company based in Carbondale, Colorado, serving the Roaring Fork Valley from Aspen to Vail. They started as a carpet cleaning operation using a low-moisture, five-step system and expanded into water damage restoration, fire damage repair, and mold remediation. Mold work is not their sole focus — it sits alongside a broader restoration and cleaning business.
What stands out is the water-to-mold pipeline. When a pipe bursts or a basement floods, they handle water extraction, structural drying, and any resulting mold removal as a continuous job rather than handing off between contractors. Their website describes air sampling, containment, dehumidification, and structural repair as part of their mold scope. They use Green Seal products across both their cleaning and restoration lines, and their FAQ explicitly states they dry affected areas in about three days rather than the week some competitors take.
Joel Belmont founded the company. Michael Garza runs field operations and shows up in review after review as the point of contact for water and mold emergencies. The team includes Carlos, River, Vidal, Javier, Darvez, and others who rotate through carpet cleaning and restoration jobs. The company holds IICRC credentials and offers 24/7 emergency dispatch.
At 4.7 stars across 45 Google reviews with zero negatives in the last 18 months, the review record is unusually clean. The volume is modest for a company that has operated for many years, which means the rating reflects a small but consistently satisfied customer base rather than statistical inevitability.

Review consensus
Michael Garza is the name that appears most often. Reviewers credit him with fast weekend response for water emergencies (Kirsten McDaniel describes 100+ gallons flooding an office), free inspections for minor issues (Charles Conner), and hands-on project management from start to finish (Philip Dumontet, Pinar Anakok, Cathy Coffey). Field technicians Carlos, Zander, River, Vidal, Javier, and Darvez earn praise for punctuality and clear communication. Multiple reviewers highlight that carpets dry quickly and that the company uses non-toxic products. Megan Kappeli describes using them for water mitigation, mold work, carpet cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning over several years.
0 found across 45 total reviews at 4.7★. (0 found across 45 total reviews at 4.7 stars) No 1-star reviews exist for this business. The three 4-star reviews are all positive. Nolan Cumings (2016, Local Guide, 15 reviews) noted significant sticker shock at $332 for carpet cleaning but acknowledged Joel did meticulous work. No complaints about mold work, communication failures, or unresolved disputes appear anywhere in the review record.
This company has an unusually thin negative review record — zero complaints in 18 months, and only 45 reviews total over many years of operation. The website displays dozens of curated testimonials that predate most Google reviews. The gap between the large testimonial collection and the modest Google review count suggests the company built its reputation through direct relationships and referrals in a small mountain community rather than through online review volume. This is neither a red flag nor a green flag — it just means you have less independent data to work with than you would for a company with 200+ reviews.

If you hire Belmont for mold work, ask for Michael Garza and get the scope in writing before work starts. Their strength is handling the full chain from water emergency through mold removal, which saves you the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors. But because they test and remediate, get an independent mold assessment first so you have a baseline that was not produced by the company selling you the fix.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company telling you whether you have a problem is also the company that gets paid to fix it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation scope.
- Their FAQ states that restoration and remediation estimates typically carry a fee, unlike free carpet cleaning estimates. The inspection cost varies by project scope and may be credited toward services if you hire them — ask about this upfront.
- Their Google listing address is in Glenwood Springs, but their website lists Carbondale as their office location. Confirm which location you would be working with.
- One 4-star reviewer in 2016 reported sticker shock at $332 for carpet cleaning of two small rooms, a hallway, and several rugs. Restoration and mold work will run significantly higher — get a written scope before work begins.
- With 45 reviews over many years of operation, the review volume is low. Most of what you will find online about this company comes from website testimonials they curate, not independent reviews.
