Best for

  • Decatur and east-side Atlanta homeowners dealing with mold after water damage who want one company to handle removal and reconstruction.
  • Insurance-claim projects where you want the contractor to coordinate directly with your adjuster and bill the carrier.
  • Homeowners who need mold remediation led by an IICRC AMR-certified technician rather than a generalist restoration crew.
  • Kitchen or bathroom rebuilds triggered by mold or water leaks, where material matching and design input matter.
  • Smaller restoration jobs in DeKalb County where a local, owner-involved company will treat the project as a priority.

About this company

Atlanta Elite Reconstruction Services is a Decatur-based restoration company that handles mold remediation and the full rebuild afterward under one roof. Founded by Matthew Borzie, the company runs mold work through an IICRC-certified Applied Microbial Remediation (AMR) specialist and keeps reconstruction in-house rather than subcontracting it out. That single-team model is their main pitch: one crew from water extraction through final paint.

On the mold side, the company describes a process that starts with moisture meters and thermal imaging to find hidden growth, then moves to HEPA-filtered containment with negative air pressure, air scrubbers during removal, and EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment on non-porous surfaces. They also handle asbestos testing and abatement in-house, which matters in older Decatur homes where water damage exposes both mold and asbestos. The rebuild scope covers drywall, flooring, cabinetry, painting, and fixtures.

Borzie moved to Atlanta from Liberia during middle school, graduated from Creekside High in Fairburn, and started in the restoration trade at a larger company before launching Atlanta Elite. The company is family-owned and headquartered on Memorial Drive in Decatur. They bill insurance carriers directly, listing State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, Progressive, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, Nationwide, and Chubb.

With a 4.8-star Google rating across 31 reviews, Atlanta Elite sits well above average. Nearly every review is 5 stars, and only one reviewer has dropped below 4. For a small, owner-operated company, that consistency stands out.

Service area

Headquartered at 4284 Memorial Drive in Decatur, Georgia. Primary coverage includes Decatur, East Atlanta, Kirkwood, and North Druid Hills in DeKalb County. Also serves McDonough, Ellenwood, Snellville, Conyers, and Stockbridge. The company claims metro-wide coverage but is a small team, so response times outside DeKalb County will be longer.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Jason is named in at least 15 of 31 reviews. Reviewers credit him with design guidance (steering one client away from a cabinet color she would have regretted), creative problem-solving (installing a cabinet under a granite slab other contractors said had to be removed), clear communication throughout insurance-claim projects, and willingness to return for post-project issues. Multiple reviewers hired Jason for second and third projects after a positive first experience. Monique R., a Local Guide with 39 reviews, praised the full-scope handling from water mitigation through wall redesign. Chris is named alongside Jason on a flooring project that included a herringbone hardwood installation. Matthew is named for hands-on oversight and ensuring crews completed work correctly.

What low reviews reveal

1 found across 31 total reviews at 4.8★. Hasina Lester initially left a 5-star review praising Jason's patience and willingness to replace a dishwasher post-project. She updated to 1 star roughly 6-9 months later when cabinet shelves in all bottom cabinets began collapsing and small pieces broke at the base. She reached out to Jason about warranty coverage; he confirmed a warranty existed but did not clarify terms. After she sent photos, his text response struck her as dismissive. He said he would send someone out, but four weeks passed with no follow-up. She also noted unpainted areas behind appliances. The owner response acknowledged the delayed reply (over the holiday break), apologized, referenced a five-year warranty, and offered to send the cabinet installer and painter. A follow-up note dated January 31, 2026 said the issue still had not been resolved. Lester is a Local Guide with 18 reviews, lending credibility to the complaint.

Pattern worth noting

The single negative review is notable because it started as a 5-star review and was updated to 1 star months after project completion. The complaint is about post-project warranty follow-through, not the quality of the initial work. The owner's response was personalized and specific (not a template), referenced the five-year warranty, and named specific remedies. But the owner's own follow-up note a week later acknowledged the issue was still unresolved. This suggests the company delivers strong initial results but may struggle with warranty callbacks when the project is already paid for.

Named staff

Jason (project lead / owner-operator -- overwhelmingly positive across 15+ reviews; one updated negative citing slow warranty follow-up). Chris (crew member -- positive, named on a hardwood flooring project). Matthew (founder/CEO -- positive, named for hands-on oversight and ensuring completion).

Bottom line

Jason runs a tight operation with strong initial results. Ask about the five-year workmanship warranty upfront and get the terms in writing before the project starts. If your project involves mold, get an independent test first so you have a separate assessment of the scope.

Keep in mind

  • Atlanta Elite does both mold testing (inspection with moisture meters and thermal imaging) and mold remediation. That creates a financial conflict of interest: the same company that identifies the problem also sells the fix. Consider getting an independent mold assessment before committing to their remediation scope.
  • The company is small. One reviewer who initially gave 5 stars updated to 1 star after cabinets installed during a kitchen remodel began falling apart within 6-9 months. She reported slow follow-up on warranty claims despite the company offering a five-year workmanship warranty.
  • Mold remediation is one of several services, not the company's sole focus. Their Google category is water damage restoration, and most reviews reference water damage rebuilds rather than standalone mold jobs.
  • Service area extends well beyond Decatur into McDonough, Snellville, Conyers, and Stockbridge. Response times will vary outside DeKalb County.
