What this listing says
Jacksonville-area homeowners dealing with water damage that has led to mold, where you want one company to handle extraction, remediation, and rebuild under owner Alex Kearson's direct oversight.
Best for
- Jacksonville and Northeast Florida homeowners who need mold remediation after a water event like a pipe burst, roof leak, or flooding.
- Property owners who want one company to handle the full sequence from water extraction through mold removal and rebuild, rather than coordinating multiple contractors.
- Landlords and property managers with multiple units who need a reliable repeat vendor. Several reviewers describe using Omega across multiple properties.
- Buyers who value direct communication with the owner rather than being handed off to project managers or call centers.
About this company
Omega Environmental is a Jacksonville-based restoration company that handles mold and water damage from start to finish. They do their own testing, remediation, and rebuilds. Owner Alex Kearson runs jobs directly and shows up on-site. The company claims 24 years of experience and holds IICRC credentials in water restoration (WRT), applied structural drying (ASD), and mold remediation (AMRT). They also hold Florida state mold remediator license MRSR3247 and mold assessor license MRSA2832.
On the methods side, their website describes containment barriers, negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, and dehumidification as part of their remediation process. They mention thermal cameras and moisture meters for water damage detection. They offer post-remediation clearance testing, including optional third-party testing. Nothing here is unusual for a restoration company this size, but the dual state licenses for both assessment and remediation are worth noting.
The company is headquartered on Hood Landing Road in south Jacksonville and serves the broader Northeast Florida area, including Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, St. Johns, Clay County, and Orange Park. Alex Kearson appears to be the owner-operator, and reviewers consistently describe working directly with him rather than with rotating crews.
4.9 stars across 77 Google reviews is a strong rating. The volume is modest but the consistency is notable. Multiple reviewers with significant review histories (Local Guides with 20-100+ reviews) gave 5 stars and named Alex specifically, which adds weight to the rating.
Services
Service area
Headquartered on Hood Landing Road in Jacksonville, FL 32258. They list service coverage for Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, St. Johns, Clay County, and Orange Park. One reviewer from an hour and a half away confirmed Alex traveled to them, but confirm directly if you are outside the core Jacksonville metro.
Review consensus
Alex Kearson is named in the majority of written reviews. Reviewers praise his communication, honesty, and willingness to answer questions. Repeat customers like Gabriel Gavoci and Johnny Tran confirm consistent quality across multiple jobs. Carrie Schultz called Alex the most communicative contractor she has worked with. Harrison described Alex honestly telling him he did not need remediation, just a better bathroom fan. Tim Betros, a Local Guide with 74 reviews, specifically praised Alex's integrity. Multiple reviewers note fast response times and willingness to handle after-hours emergencies.
2 found across 77 total reviews at 4.9★. (2 found across 77 total reviews at 4.9 stars) Both recent low ratings came in on the same date (August 20, 2025) and neither included any written text. Both reviewers have zero other Google reviews. The 1-star reviewer (Deere Gotham) left no explanation; Alex responded asking them to call and discuss what went wrong. The 3-star reviewer (James Williams) also left no text; the owner response was brief, just asking them to call. Without any written complaints, there is nothing concrete to evaluate here.
The overwhelmingly positive review pattern reflects a small owner-operated company where the owner personally handles most jobs. Alex Kearson's name appears in review after review because customers are working directly with him, not with anonymous crews. This is a strength signal but also a scaling risk. The two textless negatives posted on the same date from zero-review accounts are unusual but too sparse to form any conclusion. The owner responded to both, which is consistent with the 100% response rate on negatives.
Alex Kearson (owner, mold specialist -- overwhelmingly positive across dozens of reviews for communication, honesty, responsiveness, and knowledge).
Ask for Alex directly and confirm he will be overseeing your job. Because Omega does both testing and remediation, request a third-party clearance test after the work is done. The track record here is strong for a small company, but get scheduling commitments in writing during Jacksonville's busy storm season.
Keep in mind
- Omega does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company telling you whether you have a problem is also the one selling you the fix. Ask whether they will accept a third-party test result, or request their optional third-party post-remediation clearance.
- This is a small owner-operated company. Alex Kearson's personal involvement is a selling point, but it also means capacity constraints during busy periods. Confirm scheduling availability before committing.
- The website lists fire damage restoration and storm damage restoration, but reviews focus almost entirely on water damage and mold. If you need fire damage work, ask for references specific to that service.
- Several of their service area location pages return 404 errors, which suggests the website is still being built out. Do not rely on the website alone for service area confirmation.
