What this listing says
St. Augustine homeowners dealing with post-hurricane or storm-related mold who want a family-owned firm with three Florida offices and 20+ years of remediation experience.
Best for
- St. Augustine and northeast Florida homeowners who need mold testing and remediation from a single firm with three offices statewide.
- Property owners dealing with hurricane or storm damage who need water extraction, structural drying, and mold remediation under one contract.
- Commercial building managers across Florida looking for a firm that handles air quality testing, remediation, and post-remediation verification.
- Homeowners filing insurance claims for mold damage who want a company that provides claim documentation and works directly with carriers.
About this company
Mold Masters operates out of St. Augustine with additional offices in Dunedin and Fort Myers, covering northern, central, and southern Florida. Chase Cornia and Jenni Archibald own the company and both hold Florida Mold Assessor and Mold Remediator licenses, which means they handle both the testing and the remediation side. Chase also carries a MICRO Certified Mold Remediation Contractor credential and a Lead Risk Assessor license. The company claims over 20 years in the mold business.
What stands out is the range of in-house capabilities. They do air quality testing with samples sent to third-party labs, thermal imaging with FLIR cameras, moisture mapping, and dry-fogging after HEPA filtration during remediation. They also handle water damage restoration start to finish, including emergency water extraction, structural drying with industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, and air scrubbing. Financing is available through Acorn Finance.
Chase and Jenni run this as a family-owned operation. Both are NORMI members, and Chase holds IEP and IAQ designations. The company serves commercial and residential properties and will assist with insurance claims, providing documentation, moisture readings, and before-and-after photos to support filings.
A 5.0 rating across 37 Google reviews is unusual for any mold company. That volume is modest, but a perfect score with no negative reviews in the last 18 months suggests consistent execution across their Florida service area.

Jenni / Jenny Archibald (co-owner, office/scheduling — positive across multiple reviews). Chase Cornia (owner, technician/assessor — positive, praised for air quality testing and hands-on remediation). Ryan (technician/inspector — positive, noted for instrument use and knowledge). Brandon Cochran (technician — positive, praised for communication and remediation quality). Chris (technician — positive, praised for efficiency). James (team member — positive, mentioned alongside Ian and Jenni for hurricane-related work). Ian (team member — positive, mentioned alongside James and Jenni).
Every review in the packet is positive, and multiple reviewers name specific staff members doing solid work across different Florida cities. Because Mold Masters does both testing and remediation, ask for a post-remediation clearance test from an independent assessor to remove any doubt. Request Jenni for scheduling and ask whether Chase or Ryan will handle your inspection.
Keep in mind
- Mold Masters does both testing and remediation, which creates a financial conflict of interest. The company that finds the mold also profits from removing it. Ask whether they will accept a third-party test or provide a post-remediation clearance from an independent assessor.
- The service area spans the entire state of Florida across three regions. If you are far from the St. Augustine, Dunedin, or Fort Myers offices, confirm response time and whether travel fees apply before booking.
- With only 37 reviews total, the 5.0 rating is based on a relatively small sample. That score is encouraging but carries less statistical weight than a 4.8 with 200+ reviews.
- The website uses strong marketing language like 'Number 1 in Florida' and 'Guaranteed Results.' Ask exactly what the guarantee covers and what happens if mold returns after remediation.
