Rapid Renovations & Construction
Provider snapshot
What this listing says
Atlanta-area homeowners who need mold remediation tied to a larger water damage or renovation project, handled by a single general contractor rather than a standalone mold company.
Best for
- Atlanta metro homeowners dealing with mold tied to water damage who want one contractor to handle remediation and rebuild together.
- Property owners with mold inside a larger renovation — kitchen, bathroom, or basement projects where mold is discovered during demo.
- Commercial or industrial property managers who need mold remediation performed while the building stays operational.
- Homeowners in Snellville, Sandy Springs, Marietta, or Dunwoody who want a local GC with construction depth behind the mold work.
About this company
Rapid Renovations & Construction is a general contractor headquartered in Snellville, GA — about 25 minutes east of downtown Atlanta. Mold remediation is one of roughly a dozen service lines they offer, alongside custom homes, commercial construction, water and fire restoration, roofing, and tree services. They are not a mold-only company. Their primary identity is multi-state general contracting, and they handle mold work as part of broader restoration or renovation scopes.
The mold-specific differentiator here is construction capability. Because they are a full-service GC, they can tear out mold-damaged materials, fix the water source, and rebuild — all under one contract and one project manager. Their restoration page describes containment, air scrubbing, source repair, and post-remediation clearance. The Quikrete Atlanta plant case study shows them performing mold remediation inside an active industrial facility before starting structural and finish work.
The company has operated since 1996 under owner Dwayne Palmer. They claim licensing in 19 states, with regional project managers in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, and the West Coast. They hold a Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S number and serve as Quikrete's general contractor at the Atlanta plant — a relationship that involved a full gut renovation of a facility built in 1983 while it continued producing 150,000 bags of concrete per day.
4.9 stars across 89 Google reviews is a strong rating. Nearly every review names Mr. Palmer directly, and the volume of repeat-client and referral language suggests a business built on relationships rather than advertising. Two 1-star reviews exist, which the company has not responded to.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Snellville, GA, about 25 minutes east of downtown Atlanta. Lists specific Georgia service areas including Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Smyrna, Brookhaven, Stonecrest, Dunwoody, Peachtree Corners, Mableton, and East Point. Claims licensing in 19 states from Georgia to California, with reviews confirming work in the DMV area, Maryland, and Milwaukee — but mold-specific work is only documented in the Atlanta metro area.
Review consensus
Mr. Dwayne Palmer is named in the majority of positive reviews. Reviewers consistently highlight his communication during projects, punctuality, and hands-on involvement from consultation through final walkthrough. Ms. Logan is praised separately for keeping projects organized and maintaining communication — multiple reviewers describe her as the operational backbone handling calls and scheduling. Corey is mentioned once for emergency electrical work alongside Palmer. Reviewers in the DMV area (Alexis Matthews), Maryland (Pamela Matthews), and Milwaukee (Nayda Roque) confirm the company takes on out-of-state work. Lenny A.W. specifically describes water damage and mold buildup remediation in a garage, with Palmer and Logan navigating pricing transparently. Joseph Snowden names mold remediation and abatement as services he recommends them for.
2 found across 89 total reviews at 4.9★. Kyle Gheesling, a Local Guide with 372 reviews, hired them for a bathroom renovation. Only one person showed up, the work was poor, and the company would not issue a refund or return calls afterward. Gheesling had to hire another company and pay again. Tc Hood left a 1-star review saying the work was "not what we expected" but provided no details — a 2-review account with no specifics. Neither reviewer received an owner response.
The Gheesling complaint — one person showing up and doing poor work on a bathroom — stands out against the pattern of praise because it suggests the company may subcontract or delegate smaller jobs differently than the flagship projects where Palmer is personally involved. Most positive reviewers describe direct interaction with Palmer himself. The zero percent owner response rate on negatives, combined with a website that claims a perfect 5.0 rating, suggests the company manages its online reputation by volume of positive reviews rather than by engaging with complaints.
Dwayne Palmer (owner — praised in 20+ reviews for communication, punctuality, and hands-on project management). Ms. Logan (office/operations — praised by Sonya, jasmine anderson, Devin Qualls, RitzyGlitzySpider Boutique, and Lenny A.W. for communication and project coordination). Corey (field — praised by dawn randall for emergency electrical response alongside Palmer).
If your mold problem is part of a bigger renovation or water damage event, Rapid Renovations can handle the full scope under one contract — and Palmer's personal involvement on those projects is well-documented by reviewers. Ask for Palmer to be your PM. For a standalone mold job, confirm who will actually show up and do the work, since the one detailed negative describes a single worker doing poor-quality bathroom work with no accountability afterward. Get your mold testing done independently before signing a remediation contract.
Keep in mind
- Rapid Renovations does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company diagnosing the problem also profits from fixing it. Get an independent mold test before committing to their remediation scope.
- This is a general contractor that lists mold remediation as one service among many. The mold remediation page on their website is generic boilerplate — it does not describe specific equipment, certifications, or protocols unique to their operation.
- The company did not respond to either of its two recent 1-star reviews. Zero owner response rate on negatives means you cannot gauge how they handle complaints before hiring.
- They claim 19 states of coverage. If your mold job is outside metro Atlanta, confirm they have actual crews — not just licensing — in your area.
- Their website claims 5.0 stars and 102 five-star reviews, but their actual Google profile shows 4.9 stars across 89 reviews including 1-star ratings. The discrepancy is worth noting.
