Provider snapshot
What this listing says
Bradenton and Manatee County homeowners dealing with hurricane or storm water damage that has led to mold growth, backed by a franchise team with three mold-specific IICRC and NORMI credentials.
Best for
- Bradenton and western Manatee County homeowners with active mold growth after water intrusion or storm damage.
- Property owners who need mold remediation and reconstruction handled by the same company, reducing handoffs between contractors.
- Out-of-state landlords managing Florida rental properties remotely who need a team that coordinates directly with insurance adjusters.
- Condo associations needing multi-unit remediation after hurricanes, based on reviews describing complex multi-unit storm work.
- Homeowners dealing with smoke odor or biohazard situations alongside mold concerns.
About this company
PuroClean of Bradenton is a PuroClean franchise on FL-64 in Bradenton, owned by Julia Jones and co-managed by Brenden Williams. They handle mold remediation, water damage, fire and smoke restoration, biohazard cleanup, odor removal, and reconstruction across Manatee County and parts of Sarasota, Pinellas, and Desoto counties. They work both residential and commercial jobs and run a 24/7 emergency line.
What stands out is their mold credential stack. They hold three mold-related designations (IICRC AMRT plus two NORMI mold credentials) alongside water damage (WRT, ASD), trauma/crime scene (TCST), and EPA Lead Safe certification. Their mold page explicitly states they recommend third-party clearance testing after remediation, which separates testing from the remediation scope. They use HEPA filtration and HEPA vacuums during mold work and describe containment and engineering controls to prevent cross-contamination.
Julia Jones moved to Bradenton from Orlando in 2019 and opened this franchise after experiencing property damage herself during Florida storms. Brenden Williams holds state license MRSR 4038 and has over two decades of restoration experience, starting as a technician in Ohio. The company has been operating for over four years and earned a Manatee Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year finalist nod and PuroClean's Rainmaker Award.
Their 5.0-star rating across 89 Google reviews is rare for any restoration company and worth noting. Not a single review in the last 18 months dropped below 4 stars. Multiple reviewers with high review counts and Local Guide status contributed to that score, which makes it harder to attribute to selection bias alone.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Bradenton, Florida on FL-64. They list service areas across Manatee County (Bradenton, Bradenton Beach, Ellenton, Holmes Beach, Palmetto, Parrish, South Bradenton, West Bradenton) and claim coverage in Sarasota, Pinellas, and Desoto counties. The four-county claim is broad for a single-location franchise; confirm response time for locations outside Manatee County.
Review consensus
Brenden Williams draws the most mentions. Reviewers describe him as responsive, educational rather than salesy, and personally available by phone and text throughout projects. One reviewer (Jeff White, 357 reviews, Local Guide) specifically noted that Brenden "did not sell. He educated." Erick Uribe is the second most named staffer, praised for fast hands-on work, handling multi-unit hurricane jobs at condos, and treating spaces with care. Javier Mendez Perez gets praise for being polite, hardworking, and precise. Ricky Long earned a specific callout for going the extra mile on post-hurricane restoration. Sharon Fuller is mentioned for calming, supportive communication. Multiple reviewers highlight same-day or within-hours response times, especially during hurricane season. Insurance coordination comes up repeatedly as a strength.
0 found across 89 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With 89 total reviews at 5.0 stars, there are zero 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star reviews in the recent window to analyze.
The review timeline shows a clear spike around major hurricane events (Ian in late 2022, Idalia in September 2023, Helene and Milton in late 2024, Debby in mid-2024). This company's reputation was largely built during storm response, and reviewers consistently describe fast deployment and insurance coordination during those events. The 5.0 rating across 89 reviews with zero negatives is statistically unusual and worth noting, though many positive reviewers have substantial review histories and Local Guide status, lending credibility to the score.

Ask for Brenden Williams on the coordination and communication side; ask for Erick Uribe or Javier if you want to know who will be on-site. With zero negatives in 18 months and a 5.0 rating, the track record is strong, but request references from a job matching your scope. Get your own mold assessor for testing before and after.
Keep in mind
- PuroClean is a national franchise. This Bradenton location operates independently, but franchise locations share branding and standard operating procedures. The team you work with locally is Julia Jones, Brenden Williams, and their crew.
- The 5.0-star rating with zero recent negatives is unusually clean. Every company has unhappy customers; some may have left feedback elsewhere or not at all. Ask for references from jobs similar to yours.
- Their website claims service across Manatee, Sarasota, Pinellas, and Desoto counties. That covers a wide geographic range. Confirm response time for your specific location before booking.
- They do not perform mold testing or inspection. You will need a separate mold assessor for pre-remediation testing and post-remediation clearance. They recommend third-party clearance, which is the right approach.
