About this company
Revive is a full-service restoration company headquartered in downtown Tampa that handles water damage, mold, fire, storm, and sewage work for both residential and commercial properties. Their primary identity is water damage restoration, with mold remediation as a closely related service rather than a standalone specialty. They also do mold inspection and testing in-house.
The service list is broad: thermal imaging for moisture detection, structural drying, attic and crawl space mold work, sewage cleanup, fire and smoke damage, and full reconstruction after disasters. They claim 60-minute arrival times for emergencies and operate a 24/7 phone line. The website references IICRC-trained technicians and air scrubber use during mold jobs.
Revive has been in business since 2006, giving them 20 years of operation across Central and South Florida. They run offices in six Florida cities: Tampa, Orlando, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Port Charlotte. They work with insurance companies on claims.
4.9 stars across 114 Google reviews is a strong rating. Worth noting: a large portion of those reviews contain no text, and several text reviews comment on the website rather than on actual service performed. The reviews with substance consistently mention fast response and 24-hour availability as standout qualities.
Services
Service area
Headquartered at 401 E Jackson St in downtown Tampa, FL. Revive operates offices in six Florida cities: Tampa, Orlando, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Port Charlotte. They list dozens of Tampa neighborhoods including South Tampa, Hyde Park, Ybor City, Seminole Heights, and Davis Islands, and claim coverage across Hillsborough County and beyond into Central and South Florida.
Review consensus
The most consistent theme is 24/7 availability and fast response times. Hollie DeAngelo called out quick, on-time arrival and appreciated 24-hour scheduling for her work schedule. Ralph Peter confirmed a 2 AM response for burst pipes. Thomas Clark from Sarasota praised their friendliness and responsiveness during hurricane season. James Smith described a mold job where the crew used an air scrubber and removed affected material quickly. Greg Tom credited them with handling a sprinkler system leak. Corey Luna praised quick resolution after hurricane flooding. Several reviewers, including Vanessa Rodriguez, highlight that the team answers questions thoroughly on the first call.
2 found across 114 total reviews at 4.9★. Neither of the two recent low-star reviews includes text explaining the complaint. Joshua Simpson left a 1-star with no explanation. The owner response addresses someone named "Devin" rather than Joshua, suggesting either a name mix-up or a template error. Shannon May left a 3-star with no text. The owner response thanks Shannon for "kind words" despite the middling rating, reading like a misapplied positive-review template. Neither review provides enough detail to identify a specific service failure.
The owner response pattern raises a flag. Both negative-review responses are clearly templates: one addresses the wrong name, and the other thanks the reviewer for "kind words" on a 3-star review. This suggests automated reputation management rather than genuine engagement with complaints. Separately, a notable share of 5-star reviews are text-free or only comment on the website's design, which is unusual for a service business. This does not invalidate the rating but suggests the review profile may not fully reflect on-the-ground service quality.
No individual staff members are named in any review. All praise and complaints reference "the team" or "they" without identifying specific technicians or managers.
The 4.9 rating across 114 reviews is strong on paper, and the reviewers who describe actual service experiences consistently praise fast emergency response and 24-hour availability. The two low-star reviews offer no actionable detail. Ask to speak with a project manager before signing, and get an independent mold assessment before agreeing to remediation work from the same company that inspects.
Keep in mind
- Revive does both mold testing and mold remediation. This is a conflict of interest: the company deciding you have a mold problem is the same company that gets paid to fix it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to remediation.
- The company operates across six Florida cities from Tampa to Miami. For locations far from Tampa, ask which office and crew will handle your job, and whether response times differ from the 60-minute claim.
- Many of their Google reviews contain no text or only comment on the website, not on actual service. The review volume is real, but the proportion of detailed service feedback is lower than the total count suggests.
- Mold is not their primary focus. They are a water damage restoration company that also does mold work. If your mold issue is unrelated to water damage, confirm they have the right approach for your situation.
