- Property managers in the Tallahassee area who need a single vendor for recurring water, fire, and mold emergencies across multiple properties.

About this company
RECON Restoration & Reconstruction is an owner-operated restoration company in Tallahassee, Florida, run by Steven Wright (CEO) and Ashley Wright (CFO). They started the company after a hurricane hit the Tallahassee area and have focused on disaster recovery since. Their Google category is water damage restoration, but their service list runs wide: mold remediation, fire and smoke restoration, water mitigation, storm damage, trauma and crime scene cleanup, contents pack-outs, roofing, and full reconstruction. They hold Florida mold remediation license MRSR3457 and general contractor license CRC1332557, and their website displays IICRC credentials.
What stands out is the single-source model. RECON handles the chain from emergency water extraction through mold remediation through drywall, framing, and finish reconstruction. They also manage insurance claims directly, which multiple reviewers cite as a major stress reducer. Their contact form lists pre-construction mold and dry ice blasting as service options, which are uncommon for a Tallahassee restoration company. They offer financing and discounts for military and first responders.
Steven and Ashley Wright run the operation directly. Tom Buchanan serves as their licensed general contractor. The company claims nearly 20 years of industry experience and has operated in the Tallahassee market since at least the Hurricane Michael era (2018). At least one reviewer, Tiffany S., describes using RECON repeatedly for a 1,000-bed property, indicating commercial capacity alongside residential work.
The 4.6-star rating across 58 Google reviews is solid. Zero negative reviews have appeared in the last 18 months. An independent mold inspector, Jason Yost (92 Google reviews, Local Guide), wrote that RECON is one of the few remediation companies whose post-remediation verification inspections pass on the first attempt. That kind of third-party validation from an inspector is rare and worth noting.
Services
Service area
Based in Tallahassee, Florida with an admin office at 3849 Killearn Ct Suite C and a warehouse at 5772 Mandy Lane. The company claims to service all of North Florida and the Florida Panhandle.

Confirm crew availability and response time for locations outside Leon County.
Review consensus
Steven and Ashley Wright are named in the majority of reviews. Reviewers consistently praise their personal involvement, fast response times (multiple reports of on-site arrival within 20-60 minutes), and direct communication throughout multi-week projects. Bryan and Ivory are called out by Jim V. for overseeing debris removal and tarping after a tree fell on a home. Christine named Langston, Nick, Mason, and Heather as the field crew on her job and described them as friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Timothy Callaghan praised Mason for conscientious follow-up visits. Rebecca L. named Eva for a warm and friendly attitude. Jessica Madonia singled out Ashley and Lisa as standouts she would contact again for any project. Chandra Prine praised CJ for a specific job. Charline J. described Bryan, Steve, Ashley, and Ivory handling a flooded laundry room and upstairs leak, including new floors, subfloor, plumbing, drywall, and paint. Multiple property managers (Tiffany S., Patricia S.) praise the rapid emergency response for commercial properties.
0 found across 58 total reviews at 4.6★. No negative reviews (3 stars or below) exist in the last 18 months. The overall 4.6-star rating across 58 reviews implies some older low-star reviews exist, but they were excluded from this dataset. There is no recent complaint data to analyze.
The review base skews heavily toward first-time or low-volume Google reviewers. Most have fewer than 5 reviews on their accounts. However, the exceptions are notable: Jason Yost (92 reviews, Local Guide) is an independent mold inspector who validated RECON's remediation quality from a third-party perspective. Art Correa (55 reviews, Local Guide) specifically contrasted RECON favorably against a large restoration chain. Kristijan Rounds (73 reviews, Local Guide) and several other Local Guides left positive reviews. The presence of an independent inspector's endorsement is unusual and carries more weight than typical customer reviews.

Ask for Steven or Ashley directly when scheduling. They run the jobs personally and multiple reviewers confirm they stay involved through completion. Get an independent mold test before agreeing to remediation since RECON does both testing and removal. If you are outside Tallahassee proper, confirm their response time for your area before booking emergency work.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. The company that identifies your mold problem is the same one that bills to fix it. Get an independent mold assessment before committing to remediation work.
- Their service area claim covers 'all of North Florida' and the Florida Panhandle. That is a large geographic spread from a single Tallahassee office. Confirm crew availability and response time if you are outside Leon County.
- 58 reviews with zero negatives in the last 18 months sounds clean, but the absence of complaints also means there is no data on how they handle problems. The 4.6-star overall rating implies some older negative reviews exist, but they fall outside the 18-month window.
- The website is heavy on marketing language and light on specifics about mold remediation equipment and methods. The mold page mentions antimicrobial cleaning and inspection/testing but does not describe containment procedures or equipment in detail.
- Financing is available, which suggests some jobs run at price points where payment plans matter. Get a written estimate before work begins.
