What this listing says
Orlando homeowners dealing with water damage that needs both drying and repainting, since Phil White handles restoration and painting under one roof and has maintained a perfect 5.0-star rating across 205 Google reviews since 1989.
Best for
- Orlando homeowners who need water damage dried and the affected areas repainted by a single company, avoiding the coordination hassle between separate restoration and painting contractors.
- Homeowners dealing with AC condensate leaks or hurricane-related water intrusion in Central Florida, where Phil's 37 years of local experience means he has handled the specific moisture problems Orlando's climate creates.
- Property owners who want the business owner personally on site — Phil shows up to assessments, runs equipment, and checks in daily rather than dispatching crews he does not supervise.
- Homeowners navigating insurance claims for water damage, since multiple reviewers describe Phil providing quotes directly to insurance companies and guiding them through the claims process.
About this company
Philip White Painting and Restoration LLC is an owner-operated water damage restoration and painting company in Orlando, Florida, based at 440 Santiago Ave. Phil White has run the business since 1989 — 37 years. His wife Suzanne works alongside him on assessments and job sites. Their Google category is water damage restoration, but they also hold a Florida state mold remediation license and do interior/exterior painting, making them unusual as a single company that can dry your home, remove mold, repair drywall, and repaint everything without subcontractors.
The combination of restoration and painting under one company is the main differentiator. Most restoration companies hand you off to a painter after repairs. Phil's team does both, which reviewers consistently mention as a time and cost advantage. Their mold remediation page describes containment with negative air pressure, HEPA air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatments, and post-remediation air quality testing following the IICRC S520 standard. They use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters for inspection. They also handle sewage backup cleanup, fire damage restoration, carpet cleaning, pressure washing, and soft roof washing.
Phil White is personally involved in most jobs. Multiple reviewers describe him answering the phone, showing up the same day, running the drying equipment himself, and checking on equipment daily. He holds an IICRC certification and has maintained a BBB A+ accreditation for over a decade. The company is a husband-and-wife operation with a small crew, not a franchise.
A perfect 5.0-star rating across 205 Google reviews is extraordinary. That volume over 37 years of operation, with zero negative reviews in the recent 18-month window, suggests a business where the owner's direct involvement keeps quality consistent. Many of the positive reviewers are Local Guides with high review counts, adding credibility to the rating.

Review consensus
Phil White is named in nearly every review. Reviewers praise his same-day response, honest assessments (Yang Yang, 2 reviews, describes a free on-site check where Phil found no leak and charged nothing), and personal involvement throughout the job. Derrick Wade (21 reviews, Local Guide) describes Phil and his wife doing the assessment, providing quotes to insurance, and completing repairs within 5 days as promised. Kyle Bowser (2 reviews) notes Phil went beyond painting to restore a fireplace and gazebo with severe water damage and repaired a garage door he noticed was broken. Heather Van Slyke (3 reviews) names both Phil and Scott for helping navigate a water leak emergency. Khriz D (139 reviews, Local Guide) praises Phil and his wife Suzanne by name for personally handling water damage mitigation from a burst shower valve. Kelley S (5 reviews) is a repeat customer who hired them for both exterior and interior painting over multiple years. Multiple reviewers mention Phil answering his own phone and arriving within an hour.
0 found across 205 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With 205 total reviews at a 5.0-star rating, there are zero 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star reviews in the recent window to analyze.
The review pattern is unusually consistent: owner-involvement, same-day response, honest pricing, and attention to detail appear across reviews spanning 2022 through 2026. Many of the most detailed positive reviews come from Local Guides with substantial review histories (Khriz D at 139 reviews, Richard Hudson at 88, Vito Scarola at 36, miguel santiago at 30, Mike M at 28, Angela Canot at 26, Kathleen Griffin at 26, Derrick Wade at 21). A handful of 5-star reviews from single-review accounts have no text, but the credible reviewers with detailed accounts far outnumber them. The hurricane Ian and Nicole reviews from late 2022 show Phil responding when larger companies had waiting lists — Amanda Norvell describes being put on callback lists by other companies before Phil answered.
Phil/Philip White (owner — named in the majority of reviews for same-day response, honest assessments, hands-on restoration work, painting quality, and insurance guidance). Suzanne/Phil's wife (co-owner — named by Derrick Wade, Khriz D, Kathy Dieppa, Art Sennholtz, and Amanda Norvell for doing assessments and working alongside Phil on job sites). Scott (field staff — named by Heather Van Slyke for helping with a water leak emergency).
This is a rare case where the owner runs every aspect of the business and has the reviews to back it up. 205 reviews at a perfect 5.0 with zero recent complaints is almost unheard of in restoration. Call Phil directly at (407) 860-5846 — he answers his own phone. If you need mold remediation specifically, get an independent mold test first since he does both testing and remediation. For water damage with painting needed afterward, this company eliminates the need to coordinate multiple contractors.
Keep in mind
- Philip White 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 test before committing to their remediation quote.
- This is a small owner-operated company, not a large franchise with multiple crews. During busy periods like hurricane season, response times may be longer than the same-day turnaround reviewers describe during normal conditions.
- Their painting and cleaning services (carpet cleaning, pressure washing, soft roof washing, cabinet painting) are separate from their restoration work. If you are hiring them for mold remediation, confirm whether your quote covers only the mold work or includes the finish painting as well.
- The service area lists 12 cities around Orlando (Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Casselberry, Kissimmee, Lake Mary, Longwood, Maitland, Ocoee, Oviedo, Windermere, Winter Garden). Confirm response time and availability if your property is at the edge of this range.
