About this company
Unlimited Restoration Specialist is a family-owned firm based in DeLand, Florida, run by owner Wendy Waszak. She has been a Volusia County resident since 1972 and started the company in 1991. What sets this operation apart: Wendy personally shows up on every job site, working alongside her crew rather than managing from an office. She also holds a Florida Insurance Adjuster license, so she can bill your insurance company directly and advocate on your behalf with adjusters.
The company does both mold remediation and water damage restoration, and Wendy uses FLIR infrared cameras and handheld moisture meters to map the extent of damage. For mold work, they hold a Florida State Mold Remediator license and keep a state-licensed remediator on site during every remediation job. They use third-party state-licensed mold assessors for testing and clearance when performing remediation, which partially addresses the testing-and-remediation conflict of interest. They follow IICRC standards (S500 and S520) for water and mold work.
The company has handled commercial-scale projects over its three decades, including work on a Holland America cruise ship, a Chevron Texaco oil field, and a medical center. But its current focus is residential and small commercial work across Volusia and Seminole counties. Multiple reviewers specifically mention that Wendy's quotes came in significantly lower than competitors, with one customer reporting a rival quoted over $15,000 for work Wendy determined was unnecessary.
4.9 stars across 107 Google reviews is unusually strong. The company has zero negative reviews in the last 18 months. Nearly every review mentions Wendy by name, which reflects how directly involved the owner is in day-to-day work.

Review consensus
Wendy's name appears in the vast majority of reviews. Customers praise her fast response times -- multiple reviewers describe same-day or within-the-hour arrivals, including nights and weekends. Her willingness to explain every step of the process comes up repeatedly. Several customers specifically note that Wendy's pricing was significantly lower than competitors and that she talked them out of unnecessary work. Her insurance expertise is another consistent theme, with reviewers saying she handled adjuster negotiations, organized documentation, and got claims approved quickly. Her son Maguire (also spelled McGuire) and crew member Cree are mentioned by name as hard workers. Anthony is also named as part of the team.
0 found across 107 total reviews at 4.9★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months across 107 total reviews at 4.9 stars. There is no complaint data to analyze.
The review pattern reflects a genuinely owner-operated business where one person (Wendy) is the face of every interaction. This creates a strong customer experience but also means the company's capacity is limited by one person's bandwidth. The reviews span from hurricane recovery (Ian, Milton) to routine plumbing leaks, and the praise themes are consistent across years -- suggesting the service quality is stable, not a recent improvement.
Wendy Waszak (owner, on-site remediator -- overwhelmingly positive across nearly every review). Maguire/McGuire (Wendy's son, crew member -- positive, described as meticulous and hard-working). Cree (crew member -- positive, mentioned for keeping customers informed). Anthony (crew member -- positive, described as hard-working).
This is one of the clearest cases you will find of an owner who personally does the work. Ask for Wendy directly -- she answers her own phone. If you are dealing with insurance, her adjuster license is a genuine advantage that most restoration companies do not offer.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. While they say they use third-party assessors for testing during remediation jobs, confirm exactly who performs initial testing if you are calling them for a standalone mold assessment.
- This is a small, owner-operated crew. If Wendy is booked on another job, response times could be longer than a larger franchise operation.
- Their service area spans five counties (Volusia, Flagler, Seminole, Orange, Lake). If you are on the far edges of that territory, confirm travel time and availability before booking.
- The website mentions fire and smoke damage restoration, but reviews focus almost entirely on water damage and mold. If you need fire restoration specifically, ask about their recent experience with that type of work.
