About this company
Rhino Restoration of Atlanta operates out of Smyrna, Georgia, serving the northwest Atlanta metro. The company handles both water damage restoration and mold remediation, positioning itself as a single-stop solution when a leak or flood leads to mold growth. They hold Georgia Mold License No. MRSR5353 and IICRC Certified Firm No. 70206571.
The company also does crawl space encapsulation — vapor barriers, sump pump installation, interior French drains, and crawl space dehumidification. That sets them apart from mold-only companies in the area. They advertise 24/7 emergency response and claim to dispatch a team within 15 minutes of a call, with an operations manager on-site within an hour.
Three co-founders — Shane, Sean, and Mathijs — started Rhino after dealing with water damage in their own homes. The About page says they were born and raised in the Tampa Bay area. The company also runs a Tampa location. The Atlanta operation lists 11 service cities: Smyrna, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Vinings, Brookhaven, Roswell, Buckhead, Mableton, Powder Springs, Chamblee, and Kennesaw.

Review consensus
Mathijs is the most frequently named person across reviews. Reviewers describe him as responsive, fair on pricing, and willing to answer follow-up questions after the job is done. Karen Clayton noted he took her calls after the project ended. Welton Li praised his same-day response to an after-hours flood call. Chris draws praise for moisture testing, fast flood response, and clear explanations — Nadia Farooqi, Caura Wood, and Annie Feldman all highlighted his communication. Daniel is named for demolition and mold prep work. Multiple reviewers mention the team documenting damage for insurance claims. Katie Gonzalez, a real estate agent, called them a reliable restoration partner for client transactions.
0 found across 30 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With 30 total reviews at 5.0 stars, there are zero 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star reviews to assess.
One of the 5-star reviews was left by Mathijs Mesters, who is one of the three co-founders listed on the About page. This is a self-review and should be discounted. Several other reviews come from accounts with very low review counts (1-3 reviews), and a cluster of reviews appeared on the same dates (December 29, 2025 had five reviews; February 20, 2026 had three). This clustering does not prove anything, but combined with the small total count and perfect rating, the review profile is unusually clean for a restoration company.
Mathijs (co-founder, primary contact — positive across many reviews). Chris (field technician — positive, praised for moisture testing and communication). Daniel (demolition/prep — positive). Sean (co-founder — positive, mentioned by Lucy C). Shane H. (co-founder — positive, praised by Charles Bronson for honesty during a free visit). Dylan (inspector — positive, praised by R Ames for catching hidden damage). Nestor (field crew — positive, mentioned by Norma Grundset). Laun (field crew — positive, mentioned by Lucky Law alongside Mathijs).
Every review in the packet is positive, and Mathijs runs a hands-on operation where the owner shows up personally. Ask for Mathijs or Chris by name. Because they do both testing and remediation, get a separate mold assessment before signing a remediation contract — that protects you regardless of how trustworthy the company turns out to be.
Keep in mind
- Rhino does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest — the company assessing your mold problem also profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent test before committing to remediation.
- The company originated in Tampa and expanded to Atlanta. The Atlanta office address is in Smyrna. If you are on the east side of Atlanta (Decatur, Stone Mountain, Tucker), confirm response times before booking.
- With only 30 Google reviews, the 5.0 rating reflects a small sample. A single bad experience could shift that number meaningfully.
- The website uses boilerplate language across many service pages (the same text appears on black mold removal, insurance claim assistance, and real estate clearance pages). Ask for specifics about how they handle your particular situation rather than relying on the website for details.
