What this listing says
Plantation and central Broward County homeowners who want an owner-operator franchise where Jose Pureco handles inspections and estimates personally.
Best for
- Homeowners in Plantation, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding Broward County cities who want the franchise owner to show up personally for the inspection and estimate.
- Condo owners dealing with water intrusion from neighboring units — several reviewers describe exactly this scenario and praise Jose's responsiveness.
- Buyers who are nervous about being oversold: at least five reviewers say Jose told them they didn't need services or suggested cheaper DIY approaches.
- Property managers and real estate agents who need same-day inspections — multiple reviews confirm within-the-hour arrival times.
- Homeowners who need both water damage mitigation and mold remediation handled by one company, particularly hardwood floor drying.
About this company
PuroClean of Plantation is a franchise location in Plantation, FL, owned and operated by Jose M. Pureco. It functions as an owner-operator business: Jose handles inspections, estimates, and client communication personally. Reviewers consistently describe dealing with Jose directly rather than being handed off to a dispatcher or sales team.
The company runs mold remediation, water damage restoration, fire and smoke cleanup, and biohazard services. For mold work, they use HEPA air scrubbers, negative air pressure containment, and EPA-registered disinfectants. Their water damage side features infrared cameras, moisture meters, and a proprietary hardwood floor drying system using desiccant dehumidification and drying panels. The website states they recommend clearance testing by an independent Certified Industrial Hygienist after remediation — a good sign that they separate post-work verification from their own scope.
Jose emigrated from Mexico over 20 years ago and spent two decades as an IT project manager for Fortune 500 companies before opening this franchise. The earliest reviews date to late 2023, making this a relatively young operation.
A 5.0 rating across 84 Google reviews is rare for any service company. The volume is modest but the consistency is unusual — not a single review falls below 4 stars. That said, 84 reviews over roughly two and a half years from a small operation means a high percentage of customers left reviews, which is worth noting.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Plantation, FL. The website lists 18 named service areas including Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, Oakland Park, Dania Beach, and Wilton Manors. A broader list claims coverage across 30+ cities spanning most of Broward County — from Coconut Creek and Coral Springs in the north to Pembroke Pines and Miramar in the south. For a small owner-operator franchise, that geographic footprint is ambitious; confirm response times to locations outside central Broward.
Review consensus
Jose Pureco's honesty dominates the reviews. K McIntyre says he told her she might not need his services and suggested a DIY approach. Shelley GANS-STUMPFF says he told her she didn't need to rip out a wall. Hiro Mitsuishi credits Jose with debunking a competitor's false mold scare that had panicked his mother. Jose Davidov writes that Jose "did not try to oversell any solution on extra work that was not needed." Speed of response is the second strongest theme — Adrian Moya, Colette Yori, and Dominic Anfuso all describe same-day or within-the-hour arrival. Fair pricing comes up repeatedly: Adrian Moya called Jose's quote "way more reasonable than competitors," and Conrad Cash and Craig Carpentieri both describe fair or reasonable prices. Several reviewers praise Jose's willingness to explain the insurance process and communicate daily throughout multi-day jobs.
0 found across 84 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews exist in the recent window. Across 84 total reviews at 5.0 stars, not a single review falls below 4 stars. This is unusually clean for any service business. It does not necessarily mean zero unhappy customers — it means none left reviews.
Jose Pureco is named in roughly half of all reviews, and no other employee is ever named by a reviewer. This strongly suggests a one-person operation where Jose handles inspections, estimates, communication, and at least some remediation personally. Reviews occasionally mention "his crew" or "the team" for larger jobs, but no crew member has left enough of an impression to be named. This owner-centric model explains both the high satisfaction (direct accountability) and the risk (single point of failure for scheduling and capacity).
Jose Pureco (owner, inspector, estimator — positive across all mentions). No other staff members named in any review.
If you're in the Plantation area and want the owner to show up personally, Jose Pureco has an unusually strong track record of honesty and responsiveness. Ask him directly about crew capacity for your timeline and get your initial mold assessment from an independent inspector if you want to avoid the conflict of interest that comes with the same company doing both testing and remediation.
Keep in mind
- PuroClean of Plantation does both mold inspection and mold remediation. That creates a financial incentive to find problems they can then fix. Their website says they recommend independent clearance testing by a Certified Industrial Hygienist, which partially addresses this, but your initial assessment still comes from the same company that would do the work.
- Jose appears to run nearly every customer interaction himself. That's a strength when he's available, but it raises questions about capacity during busy periods or if multiple jobs overlap. Ask about crew size and whether Jose will be on-site for your project.
- The website claims service across 30+ cities spanning all of Broward County. For what appears to be a small franchise operation, that's a wide net. Confirm actual response times to your specific location before booking.
- This is a PuroClean franchise, not an independent company. Franchise operations follow corporate standards, which provides consistency but also means pricing structures and processes are set at the franchise level.
- The company has been operating since roughly late 2023. That's a short track record compared to longer-established remediation firms in the Broward County market.
