Tampa-area homeowners and commercial property managers dealing with mold after water intrusion or hurricane damage who want a single company to handle testing, remediation, and full reconstruction under one contract.
Best for

- Commercial property managers, multi-family operators, and healthcare facilities that need a company capable of scaling crews to match large-scale damage

About this company
FP Property Restoration runs a Tampa office out of North 39th Street, one of seven locations across Florida. Their corporate headquarters sit in Fort Myers. Mold is one of four service lines alongside water damage, fire and smoke damage, and storm recovery. They hold both a Florida mold remediator license (MRSR2615) and a mold assessor license (MRSA2437), meaning the same company can test for mold and then do the remediation work.
Their mold process follows a specific sequence: free inspection by an IICRC-trained project manager using infrared cameras and moisture meters, then air quality testing by a third-party assessor who creates a remediation protocol. The remediation itself involves containment, negative air scrubbing with HEPA filtration, removal of affected materials, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatment, and HVAC duct cleaning. A third-party assessor returns for post-testing. They warrant mold work for one year after a clean post-test.
The company has operated for over ten years and earned the Sedgwick Catastrophe Response Award for work after Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Michael. They made the Inc. 5000 list and hold IICRC and NORMI firm certifications, plus an EPA Lead-Safe certification. They also carry a general contractor license (CGC1532406), plumbing license (CFC1430454), and AC license (CAC1819388). They serve Spanish-speaking and Lao-speaking customers.
At 4.7 stars across 134 Google reviews, their rating is solid. The positive reviews cluster heavily around specific field technicians and project managers, suggesting the company retains good frontline staff. The two recent negatives both involve the reconstruction side of the business rather than mold or mitigation work.

Review consensus
Taylor Cottrill draws the most frequent praise, named in over a dozen reviews for fast same-day inspections, clear explanations of damage and pricing, and consistent follow-through. Christian (Ferreira) and Angel appear together in many reviews as a mitigation crew that shows up on time, works efficiently, and leaves sites clean. Andres earns praise as a project manager who brings organization and urgency to stalled projects. Josh Alvarez gets credit for strong communication and follow-up during restoration work. Herbert Martin stood out for making a mold inspection feel personal and educational. Multiple reviewers mention the company arriving within an hour of the initial call.
2 found across 134 total reviews at 4.7★. Both complaints involve reconstruction work, not mold or mitigation. Leonardo Stoll (11-review account) hired FP for a $15,000 shower and carpet restoration in Tampa. The project stretched from July 2024 to January 2025. Crews no-showed five times without notice, installed two different colored carpets, ordered the wrong shower door four times, left demolition debris in the garage, and broke a closet door that took five attempts to fix. FP offered a $100 discount after promising a larger one. The owner response attributes delays to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and accuses Stoll of using the review to avoid paying. CamSpot Cafe (3-review account) describes a $15,000 job that took seven weeks instead of two, with workers leaving trash and causing property damage. The owner response is generic, offering to discuss concerns by phone.
The gap between FP's mitigation work and their reconstruction work is the defining pattern. The mold and water mitigation reviews are overwhelmingly positive, praising specific named technicians who show up fast, communicate clearly, and leave sites clean. The two negatives both involve the longer reconstruction phase where subcontractors enter the picture. This suggests the company's in-house mitigation teams perform well, but project management and subcontractor oversight on rebuild work is weaker. The owner responses are personalized rather than templated, but they lean defensive, disputing facts rather than acknowledging the customer's experience.

For mold mitigation and testing in Tampa, FP delivers consistently strong results. Ask for Taylor for inspections or Christian and Angel for mitigation work. If your project involves reconstruction or repairs beyond the initial mold or water work, get a detailed written timeline with milestones and confirm who manages the subcontractors before signing.
Keep in mind
- FP holds both a mold assessor license and a mold remediator license. The same company that tests your property for mold can then sell you the remediation work. Florida law requires a third-party assessor for the protocol and post-test, but ask to see the third-party assessor's credentials and confirm they have no business relationship with FP.
- Both recent negative reviews describe reconstruction projects that stretched months beyond the original timeline, with subcontractor no-shows and quality issues. The mold and mitigation work draws strong reviews, but the repair and rebuild phase carries more risk.
- They claim a 30-minute response time and list service areas from Pensacola to Orlando to Naples. The Tampa office is the relevant location for Tampa jobs, but confirm your specific address falls within their active service radius.
- The owner responses to negative reviews are somewhat defensive. One accuses the reviewer of using the review to avoid paying an invoice. This suggests disputes over billing and scope changes may not always resolve smoothly.
