About this company
BuildEase by Florida Mitigation Group is a family-owned restoration company based in Weston, Florida, founded in 2014 by Cesar Hernandez Sr. and Elena Ferro. They started in a garage and now operate from a suite on Glades Circle. Their distinguishing feature: they hold a Florida General Contractor license, DBPR Mold Assessor license, DBPR Mold Remediator license, and IICRC certification all under one roof. That means they can assess mold, remediate it, and rebuild the affected structure without subcontracting any phase.
Their mold remediation process includes infrared thermal imaging to locate moisture, 6-mil poly-sheeting containment, negative air pressure machines, HEPA air scrubbers, and antimicrobial treatment on structural surfaces. They claim to use independent third-party laboratories for post-remediation air clearance testing, which partially addresses the conflict of interest inherent in doing both assessment and remediation. They also handle water damage extraction using LGR dehumidifiers and psychrometer-confirmed drying.
The company has been through multiple hurricane seasons. During Hurricane Ian in 2022, they served 234 families in a single season. Cesar Hernandez Jr. now leads operations, with Oswaldo Diaz managing individual projects and Leonardo Cipriani coordinating. Several Spanish-language reviews confirm they serve South Florida's bilingual community comfortably.
88 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 stars with zero negatives in the last 18 months is unusual for any restoration company. That said, this is still a relatively small review count, and the company is newer compared to some established competitors in the Broward market.

Review consensus
Oswaldo Diaz appears by name in multiple reviews for attentive project management, clear communication, and keeping work on schedule. Cesar (both Sr. and Jr.) draws praise for honesty, detailed explanations, and hands-on involvement.

0 found across 88 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months (0 found across 88 total reviews at 5.0 stars). There is no complaint data to analyze for this period.
The absence of any negative reviews across 88 total is statistically uncommon for a restoration company. Some reviews come from single-review accounts, which is normal for a local service business but worth noting. Several reviews from established Local Guides and multi-review accounts (Kenan Demren with 130 reviews, C B with 74 reviews, Luis Pardo with 47 reviews) lend credibility to the overall positive pattern.
Oswaldo Diaz (project manager — praised in multiple reviews for communication, detail, and schedule adherence). Cesar Hernandez Sr. (founder — praised for honesty, dedication, and hands-on involvement). Cesar Hernandez Jr. (operations lead — praised for professionalism and clear explanations). Leonardo/Leo Cipriani (project coordinator — mentioned positively alongside Oswaldo and Cesar). Elena Ferro (office team leader — mentioned by name in one review for client service).
With a perfect 5.0 rating and no complaints to flag, the review record is strong but untested under adversity. Ask for Oswaldo or Cesar by name when booking. Because they handle both mold assessment and remediation, request their third-party lab clearance reports and consider getting an independent mold assessment before committing to a remediation scope.
Keep in mind
- BuildEase holds both mold assessor and mold remediator licenses, meaning they test for and fix the same mold problems. They say they use third-party labs for air clearance, but the initial assessment is done in-house. Ask whether you can bring in an independent assessor before remediation begins.
- Their tri-county service area claim (Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade) is broad for a family-sized team based in Weston. If your property is in West Palm Beach or North Miami, confirm response time and crew availability for your specific location.
- They do not handle insurance claims directly. They provide documentation and refer you to a public adjuster, which adds another party to your process.
- With 88 reviews and zero negatives, there is no complaint data to evaluate. A perfect record is reassuring but also means there is no track record of how they handle dissatisfied customers.
