What this listing says
Fort Lauderdale and Broward County commercial property owners dealing with water damage or mold who want one company to handle everything from testing through reconstruction and insurance paperwork.
Best for
- Broward County commercial property owners who need water damage and mold handled by one company without coordinating multiple contractors.
- Building managers dealing with after-hours emergencies — Revive claims 60-minute arrival and runs a 24/7 operation.
- Property owners who want the restoration company to deal directly with their insurance company rather than managing claims themselves.
- Businesses facing attic or crawl space mold where the source is a roof leak or ventilation failure — Revive uses thermal imaging and third-party lab testing to locate and confirm growth.
- Fort Lauderdale commercial tenants who need fast turnaround to minimize business downtime from water or mold events.
About this company
Revive operates out of Fort Lauderdale's Las Olas corridor as a full-service restoration company. Water damage drives most of their work, but they also handle mold remediation, fire damage, and reconstruction — positioning themselves as the single call for any property disaster. They've run since 2006 and maintain offices across six Florida cities.
On the mold side, Revive collects samples and sends them to third-party labs, runs air quality testing, and uses thermal imaging to find hidden growth. Their remediation process uses negative air chambers to isolate affected areas and fogging for odor removal. They follow IICRC guidelines for attic mold work and claim most attic jobs finish within a day or two.
Revive has operated for 20 years across Central and South Florida. Their Fort Lauderdale office covers all of Broward County, and they list five additional locations: Tampa, Boca Raton, Orlando, Miami, and Port Charlotte. That geographic spread suggests a franchise or multi-branch model rather than a single tight-knit local crew.
4.8 stars across 80 Google reviews is strong. Only 2 reviews in the last 18 months fall below 5 stars, and both of those are 3-star ratings with text that actually reads positive. The review volume is modest but the consistency is notable.
Services
Service area
Revive is headquartered at 515 E Las Olas Blvd in Fort Lauderdale and covers all of Broward County, listing dozens of neighborhoods and zip codes across the city. They also operate locations in Tampa, Boca Raton, Orlando, Miami, and Port Charlotte — spanning Central and South Florida. That six-city footprint is broad for a restoration company and worth confirming local crew availability.
Review consensus
Fast response time comes up repeatedly. jacob elder described a bathroom leak where 24-hour availability and helpful staff turned a 'catastrophe into a piece of cake.' Thomas Davis praised quick arrival after a laundry room flood. Stephanie Morsette, a Local Guide with 36 reviews, highlighted their willingness to help 'from day one with clean up.' Multiple reviewers — sheadoresbk, Whitney Davis, Darwin Casas — use the word 'reliable.' Judy Webb described an attic mold job where Revive did a free initial inspection and delivered a quote the same day. John Wilson, a Fort Lauderdale salon owner, credited them with minimizing business disruption after a burst pipe.
2 found across 80 total reviews at 4.8★. No 1-star reviews exist in the recent window. The 2 negative reviews are both 3-star ratings with text that reads more like endorsements. Cedric Washington wrote only that he 'would use and recommend to other people.' Dylan Case praised the 90-minute response, end-to-end service, and insurance handling. Neither review identifies an actual complaint. The owner responded to both with personalized thank-you messages. This pattern — 3-star ratings paired with positive text — is unusual and makes these reviews difficult to interpret as genuine criticism.
An unusually high proportion of reviews contain no text or only a few generic words. Of the 60 reviews in the sample, roughly half lack any written detail. The 3-star 'negative' reviews both contain positive sentiments, which is atypical. Owner responses on the 3-star reviews are personalized rather than templated, but there are only two to assess. The review profile as a whole is thin on specifics about the actual restoration or mold work performed.
No individual staff members are named in any review. All praise and criticism refers to 'the team,' 'they,' or 'Revive' as a whole.
The review picture is consistent but shallow. 4.8 stars with zero genuine complaints is a good signal, but the lack of detailed reviews means you can't learn much about what the work actually looks like. Ask for references from recent mold remediation jobs specifically — most reviews here describe water damage, not mold.
Keep in mind
- Revive does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means they have a financial incentive to find problems they can then charge to fix. Ask whether you can use an independent testing company for the initial assessment.
- Their service area spans six Florida cities from Port Charlotte to Miami. A company spread across that geography may not always dispatch local crews. Confirm which office and team will handle your job.
- Most Google reviews are very brief or have no text at all. The high rating is consistent, but there's limited detail about what the actual remediation work looked like.
- The two 3-star reviews both contain positive language — one says 'would recommend' and the other praises the service. This unusual pattern, combined with many no-text 5-star reviews, makes it hard to assess the reviews at face value.
- Their website phone numbers differ between pages — the Fort Lauderdale page shows (954) 513-4426 but several service pages show a Tampa number. Confirm you're reaching the Fort Lauderdale office when you call.
