About this company
Ready 5 is a Florida-based restoration company headquartered in Pensacola with six locations across the state, including Lake Mary, Davie, Palm Bay, Largo, and Fort Myers. Their primary work is water damage restoration, but they also handle mold remediation, fire and smoke damage, and decontamination for both residential and commercial properties. They hold Florida mold remediation license MRSR2494 and follow IICRC guidelines.
Their mold services include containment, mold removal, moisture mapping, dehumidification, and air filtration. They also offer a "Mold Exposure Risk Test" tool on their website. What stands out is their insurance-focused approach — they document damage early, communicate directly with adjusters, and bill insurance companies directly. They work with most major carriers including State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Liberty Mutual, and Progressive. Their FAQ explicitly states they do restoration only, not construction.

Review consensus
Todd is the standout name. He appears by name in at least 15 of the 20 reviews, consistently praised for being knowledgeable, communicative, and responsive. Multiple reviewers specifically mention Todd explaining the process in detail before starting work, providing his cell phone number, and being accessible throughout.

0 found across 20 total reviews at 5.0★. No 1-star reviews found in the last 18 months. With only 20 total reviews and a 5.0 rating, the review volume is small enough that any future negative would carry significant weight.
The Pensacola location reviews are almost entirely about water damage, not mold specifically. Todd and Dylan appear to be the primary two-person team handling this market. The review volume is low — 20 reviews total — which means the 5.0 rating, while perfect, is built on a thin sample. Most reviewers have multiple Google reviews and several are Local Guides, which adds credibility to the positive pattern.
Todd (technician/lead — positive across nearly all reviews, praised for knowledge, communication, and availability). Dylan (technician — positive, praised as hardworking and knowledgeable, frequently paired with Todd).
If you are in the Pensacola area and need water or mold work, ask for Todd — the reviews are unanimous on his communication skills and reliability. The review count is small, so weigh the perfect rating accordingly. Get a separate mold assessment before agreeing to their remediation scope.
Keep in mind
- Ready 5 does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company telling you there is a problem is also the one billing you to fix it. Consider getting an independent mold assessment before committing to their remediation scope.
- They claim statewide coverage across 20+ Florida counties from six offices. For properties far from Pensacola, Lake Mary, Davie, Palm Bay, Largo, or Fort Myers, ask about actual response times before assuming 24/7 availability applies to your location.
- Their website says "restoration only, not construction." If your mold damage requires structural rebuilding, you will need a separate contractor for that phase.
