What this listing says
Southwest Florida homeowners dealing with hurricane or water damage who want a single company to handle water extraction, mold removal, and full reconstruction under one contract.
Best for
- Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Bonita Springs homeowners who need mold removal tied to an active water damage or hurricane recovery project.
- Property owners who want one company to manage the entire process from emergency response through finished reconstruction, avoiding the need to coordinate multiple contractors.
- Commercial property managers in Southwest Florida dealing with large-scale water intrusion or storm damage that has led to mold growth.
- Insurance-claim situations where the restoration company needs to document damage and communicate directly with adjusters on your behalf.
About this company
Jenkins Restorations runs a Fort Myers-area office out of North Fort Myers, serving Lee and Collier counties as part of a national restoration chain with 24 locations across 13 states. Mold work is one piece of a broader operation that covers water damage, fire damage, storm damage, and full reconstruction. They handle both residential and commercial projects and staff IICRC-trained technicians.
What stands out is the single-contractor model. Jenkins takes a job from emergency water extraction through structural drying, mold removal, and final rebuild. Their mold page describes containment with negative air pressure, HEPA air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatments, and methods like soda blasting and dry ice blasting for embedded growth. They also mention infrared thermal cameras and moisture meters for detection. The company treats mold removal as part of its water damage response rather than a standalone specialty.
Jenkins has operated since 1975, making this a 50-plus-year-old company. It is employee-owned, which the website highlights as a differentiator. The Fort Myers office appears to have ramped up after Hurricane Ian, with many reviews referencing hurricane-related restoration work.
A 4.9-star rating across 83 Google reviews is unusually high for a restoration company. The review volume reflects a mix of water damage, fire recovery, and hurricane restoration jobs rather than mold-specific work, but several reviewers mention mold remediation by name.
Services

The Fort Myers office lists service areas including Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Lehigh Acres, Naples, North Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Bradenton, Sarasota, and Arcadia. That range stretches roughly 90 miles from Sarasota to Naples, so confirm turnaround times if you are at the edges of that coverage.
Review consensus
Craig draws the most frequent praise, mentioned by at least eight reviewers for daily progress updates, clear communication, and hands-on supervision of water mitigation and mold work. Ricardo is named by seven reviewers for flooring, finishing work, and attention to detail. Fernando and his crews get repeated credit for on-time project completion and follow-through on reconstruction. Kevin Brown is highlighted by four reviewers for honest assessments and willingness to explain the science behind mold and moisture issues. Hector and Sergio are mentioned together in several reviews for punctual, clean, and organized mitigation work. Multiple reviewers specifically praise the company for working well with insurance companies and keeping homeowners informed throughout multi-week projects.
1 found across 83 total reviews at 4.9★. The single 1-star review (1 found across 83 total reviews at 4.9 stars) was posted in June 2026 by a Local Guide with 23 reviews but contained no text at all. The owner responded with a generic message asking the reviewer to contact the office. Without any complaint details, there is nothing actionable to extract from this review.
The review base skews heavily toward water damage and hurricane recovery rather than standalone mold jobs. Reviewers consistently name specific field workers (Craig, Ricardo, Fernando, Hector, Sergio) rather than office staff, suggesting a stable field crew that builds personal rapport with clients. The single owner response in the dataset uses template language rather than engaging with specifics, though with only one negative review there is not enough data to call this a pattern.
Craig (project supervisor/water and mold mitigation manager — praised by 8+ reviewers for communication and oversight). Ricardo (flooring and finishing — praised by 7 reviewers for detail and workmanship). Fernando Aranha (reconstruction project manager — praised by 5+ reviewers for on-time completion). Kevin Brown (estimator/project manager — praised by 4 reviewers for honest assessments and clear explanations). Hector Colon (mitigation technician — praised by 5+ reviewers for professionalism). Sergio (mitigation technician — praised by 5 reviewers, often paired with Hector). Omar (project coordinator — praised by 3 reviewers for keeping clients informed, noted as helpful by a 4-star reviewer despite scheduling issues). Airon/Aaron (technician — praised by 3 reviewers for flexibility and quality). Marcos (technician — praised for workmanship and trade skill). Tim Reed (technician — praised for professionalism and urgency). Alexander Duggan (project manager — praised for speedy repairs and follow-up). John (worker — praised for hard work and dedication). Leo (painter — praised alongside Omar for finishing work).
With 82 positive reviews and only one contentless 1-star rating, Jenkins has an exceptionally clean track record for the Fort Myers office. Ask for Craig if your project involves water mitigation or mold work, and Ricardo if reconstruction or finishing is needed. The main risk is not quality but fit: if you only need mold removed from a bathroom and do not have a broader water damage or insurance claim, this full-service restoration company may be more machine than you need.
Keep in mind
- Jenkins does both mold testing and mold remediation. A company that tests for mold and then sells you the remediation has a financial incentive to find problems. Consider getting an independent mold assessment before committing to their remediation scope.
- This is a national chain, not a local mold specialist. Mold remediation is one service among many. If your situation involves only mold without water or structural damage, a dedicated mold company may bring more focused experience.
- The service area spans from Sarasota to Naples, covering a large stretch of Southwest Florida. Confirm response times for locations outside the Fort Myers and Cape Coral core area.
- Several reviews mention scheduling flexibility issues. One 4-star reviewer noted the crew sometimes works on their own schedule and is not always punctual.
- Most reviews describe water damage and reconstruction work. Fewer reviewers specifically mention mold remediation, so the review signal for mold-only jobs is thinner than the overall volume suggests.
