What this listing says
Tampa Bay homeowners dealing with hurricane or storm-related mold who want owner Kevin Renner personally managing the job from start to post-clearance.
Best for
- Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater homeowners who need mold remediation after water intrusion or storm damage
- Property owners navigating insurance claims for mold or water damage, since the company works directly with adjusters and public adjusters
- Homeowners who want the company owner personally managing and communicating throughout the project rather than handing off to a crew
- Buyers who discovered mold during or after a home purchase and need fast scheduling and detailed documentation for insurance or legal purposes
About this company
Air & Surface Disinfection is an owner-operated mold remediation and water damage restoration company based in downtown Tampa. Kevin Renner runs operations and is personally on most jobs. He relocated to the Tampa Bay area after working post-Hurricane Katrina restoration in New Orleans, and reviewers spanning 2016 through 2026 consistently name him by name.
The company is a Florida state-licensed mold remediation contractor. Their website details an eight-step remediation process that includes containment barrier installation, HEPA filtration, antimicrobial cleaning, and a recommendation for third-party post-remediation testing before clearing the space. They also offer ERMI and mycotoxin-related services, odor removal, and disinfection and sanitization, which goes beyond what most mold-focused companies provide.
Kevin co-owns the business with James Renner, who brings 30+ years of property management and commercial real estate experience, including senior roles at the Port of New Orleans and the Port of Tampa. The company claims 15+ years of combined water and mold restoration experience. Reviewers confirm multi-year relationships: one customer reported using them for 9 years as of 2022.
A perfect 5.0 Google rating across 34 reviews is unusual for any service company. The review pool includes multiple Google Local Guides and reviewers with established review histories, which adds credibility. One reviewer (Heather Marchand) described a full 3,500-square-foot home remediation after Hurricane Ian, and another (Kate Greenough) noted Kevin bringing emergency fans at no extra charge during Tropical Storm Eta. The rating reflects a company where the owner is the primary point of contact on every job.
Services
Service area
Based in downtown Tampa at 400 N Ashley Dr, Suite 1900. They serve the Tampa Bay area including Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater. At least one reviewer noted Kevin does not work in all surrounding counties, so confirm coverage for your specific location.
Review consensus
Kevin Renner is named in virtually every review. Reviewers highlight three consistent strengths: communication throughout the project (Danielle Kehlenbeck, Kristin C, Heather Marchand, Alex Caban, Jeffrey Hobbs, Melissa Carpenter all emphasize this), responsiveness to initial inquiries (Patrick M received a quote within 24 hours, Christina Harris was scheduled within a week), and post-job follow-through (Linda Pollack noted Kevin returned weeks later to investigate a drywall spot at no charge, Kate Greenough described emergency fans delivered during a tropical storm at no cost). Brandon Marcello reported that contractors who worked on the home afterward commented on the quality of the remediation work. Team members David and Chris were named by J. Thomas Touchton for work on a South Tampa condo.
0 found across 34 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. Across 34 total reviews at 5.0 stars, there are zero 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star reviews in the review history provided.
The absence of any negative reviews across a 10-year span is statistically rare. The review pool does include credible reviewers: multiple Google Local Guides (Kristin C, Jenny Devine, Linda Pollack, Kate Greenough, Mike Jacobson, Erin Bush, Melissa Carpenter, Jeffrey Hobbs), several reviewers with 10+ review histories, and detailed narratives describing specific project scopes. One reviewer (Q plus 2020) left a positive review even though Kevin did not service their county, noting he still provided referrals and answered questions. This suggests genuine relationship-based reviews rather than solicited ones, though the perfect record warrants healthy skepticism from any buyer.
Kevin Renner (owner/president/operations manager -- consistently positive across nearly all reviews). David (crew member -- positive, named by J. Thomas Touchton). Chris (crew member -- positive, named by J. Thomas Touchton). James Renner (managing member/financial manager -- named on website only, not in reviews).
Ask for Kevin directly and confirm he will be your point of contact. Request a detailed written scope of work and photo documentation during the project, which reviewers confirm he provides. Get a separate third-party mold inspector lined up before the job starts, since this company does remediation only and you will need independent pre- and post-clearance testing.
Keep in mind
- They do not do mold testing or inspection. You will need a separate company for pre-remediation testing and post-clearance testing, which they recommend but do not perform.
- Multiple reviewers note this is not the cheapest option in the market. Heather Marchand and Kristin C both said the higher price was worth it, but get competing quotes if budget is a primary concern.
- Business hours are 8:30am to 5pm Monday through Friday. No weekend or after-hours availability is listed on the website, which matters for emergency water damage situations.
- The business also operates under the name Big Easy Restoration, which multiple reviewers reference. Confirm which entity name will appear on your contract and insurance paperwork.
- With only 34 reviews over roughly 10 years, this is a small-volume operation. That is consistent with an owner-operated company, but it means less data to evaluate patterns.
