What this listing says
Tampa Bay homeowners dealing with hurricane or water damage who want a restoration company with a general contracting partner for full build-back under one roof.
Best for
- Tampa Bay homeowners who need emergency water extraction and structural drying after a hurricane, storm surge, or plumbing failure.
- Buyers who want mitigation and full reconstruction handled by one company rather than coordinating separate contractors.
- Property managers in Hillsborough County looking for a single restoration vendor with documented insurance coordination.
About this company
RestoWrx is a Tampa-based restoration company that handles water damage, mold, fire, and storm damage across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. They operate as the mitigation arm alongside Spicola Construction, a general contracting sister company that handles the rebuild phase. That pairing means one point of contact from emergency water extraction through structural reconstruction.
Their website highlights thermal imaging for moisture mapping, IICRC credentials, containment with HEPA filtration, dehumidification, and antimicrobial treatments. They also do mold inspection and testing in-house. The Spicola partnership gives them a CGC license (CBC-1268070), which means they can pull permits and do full reconstruction rather than handing that off to a separate contractor.

Review consensus
Ashley Coontz is named in three reviews for strong communication and attention to detail. Lauren draws praise for responsiveness during hurricane recovery. Alek and Joe are named together for showing up quickly after flooding. Yianni is highlighted by a property manager who had worked with 11 other restoration companies. Josie earned praise for managing dry-out work with daily updates. Multiple reviewers mention fast response times, with several noting crews arrived within an hour or worked through the night.
1 found across 28 total reviews at 4.7★. One detailed 1-star review from a Local Guide describes a project that dragged from April into October with a punch list of unfinished items including a dishwasher hookup, cabinet filler, and paint touch-ups. The reviewer says the company was hired through their insurance carrier under an MRP program and operates as Spicola Construction. Communication stopped after September, and the company suggested parting ways when the homeowner requested claim documentation. The reviewer also raises concerns about whether subcontracted workers were properly credentialed. No owner response was posted.
The company did not respond to its only negative review. With only 28 total reviews, the absence is notable but not a pattern. The dual-brand structure (RestoWrx for mitigation, Spicola Construction for build-back) may create confusion about who is responsible at each stage, as the negative review illustrates.
Ashley Coontz (project manager — praised for communication and attention to detail). Lauren (team lead — praised for responsiveness and compassion during hurricane recovery). Alek (field staff — praised for going above and beyond on drywall and flood response). Joe (owner — praised for being upfront about costs; named in negative review for last visiting the job site in September before work stalled). Yianni (staff — praised by a property manager for transparency). Josie (project manager — praised for managing dry-out with daily updates). Sarah Merida (staff — praised for being knowledgeable and communicative). Lucas (field staff — praised for keeping a home in great condition during work). Gus (field staff — praised alongside Lucas).
Most reviewers describe fast response and good communication, especially from Ashley and Lauren. The one serious complaint involves a long rebuild dragging out with no resolution, so ask for a written timeline with milestones and confirm who owns the punch list if the project involves Spicola Construction on the build-back side.
Keep in mind
- RestoWrx does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company deciding you have a mold problem is also the one billing you to fix it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation scope.
- The company operates under both the RestoWrx and Spicola Construction names. The 1-star review references Spicola directly, so ask upfront which entity handles your contract and who your point of contact will be.
- The single negative review describes a months-long project with incomplete punch-list items and no owner response. Ask for a written scope and timeline with milestones before work begins.
