Best for

  • Commercial property managers needing a restoration company with insurance documentation experience and a bilingual crew for Spanish-speaking tenants or staff.

About this company

PuroClean North Metro Atlanta is a restoration franchise based in Woodstock, GA, serving the north metro area from three offices in Woodstock, Jasper, and Suwanee. Mold remediation is one piece of a broader operation covering water damage, fire and smoke restoration, biohazard cleanup, and reconstruction. Their Google category is water damage restoration, which reflects their primary workload.

The mold page on their website describes a structured remediation process: containment with negative air pressure and HEPA filtration, removal of contaminated materials, surface cleaning with EPA-registered disinfectants, and HEPA vacuuming. They recommend third-party clearance testing from a Certified Industrial Hygienist after remediation, which is a good sign. The team is IICRC-trained, and they hold EPA Lead Safe certification. They also do mold testing in-house, which creates the conflict of interest discussed below.

Jeff Meier is listed as owner on the website. Reviews also name Marcus as the owner, with one reviewer describing Marcus calling immediately and dispatching a crew the same day. The franchise holds memberships with the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, Greater North Fulton Chamber, and the Restoration Industry Association. Multiple reviews mention insurance company referrals, including State Farm.

A 5.0 rating across 192 Google reviews is extraordinary. That volume with a perfect score suggests a team that consistently delivers on the basics: fast response, clear communication, and respectful crews. The review sample confirms this pattern across dozens of named staff members.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Shawn is the most-named employee across reviews, consistently praised for arriving quickly, documenting damage carefully, and explaining the process. Luis works alongside Shawn on most jobs and draws similar praise for professionalism and cleanliness. Nelson and Jose form a second regular crew, with multiple reviewers describing them as calm, knowledgeable, and communicative during stressful flood situations. Sandra runs a bilingual crew and is praised as a job foreman by multiple reviewers, with one reviewer specifically noting her detailed packout work for an elderly homeowner. Maria draws praise for managing water damage projects and answering questions beyond the scope of the immediate job. Alyssa Howell in the office is described as responsive and helpful with scheduling and coordination. Tatenda (called "T" or "Tee") is praised as a project manager for thoroughness during inspections and willingness to answer questions. Multiple reviewers mention that insurance companies referred them to PuroClean, and the team handled documentation and communication with adjusters.

What low reviews reveal

1 found across 192 total reviews at 5.0★. The single recent negative is from Beverly Hajduk, a 14-review Local Guide. She describes Oliver and Eltilio accidentally damaging her hot water tank during mitigation work, leaving her (ages 77 and 82 in the household) without hot water. The review was written in real time as the situation unfolded: the crew left without explanation, returned, then said a different crew was coming. The owner responded 19 days later with a general apology and an invitation to call. The response did not address the specific claim about the damaged tank or confirm whether it was resolved.

Pattern worth noting

The review record shows a well-staffed franchise with consistent crew pairings: Shawn and Luis handle many jobs together, Nelson and Jose form another regular team, and Sandra leads a separate crew. This crew stability likely contributes to the consistent praise, because customers deal with the same people from start to finish. The single negative review involves a different pair (Oliver and Eltilio) not mentioned in any positive reviews, which raises the question of whether less-experienced crew members get less oversight.

Bottom line

With 192 reviews at a perfect 5.0 and only one recent complaint, the review record is unusually clean for a restoration company. Ask for Shawn and Luis or Nelson and Jose by name when you call. The single negative involved a crew (Oliver and Eltilio) not seen in any positive reviews, so asking about who will be assigned to your job matters. Get an independent mold assessment before signing a remediation contract, since they do both testing and remediation.

Keep in mind

  • They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the company identifying your mold problem profits from fixing it. Their own website recommends third-party clearance testing from a CIH, which is encouraging, but get an independent mold assessment before committing to a remediation contract.
  • This is a general restoration franchise, not a mold specialist. Most of their review volume involves water damage mitigation. If you have a complex mold situation unrelated to recent water damage, ask about their mold-specific crew experience and containment setup.
  • The service area claims are broad, listing 30+ communities from Cartersville to Duluth to Cumming. With three offices, coverage is plausible, but confirm scheduling and response time for your specific location.
  • One recent 1-star review describes a crew accidentally damaging a hot water tank during mitigation work. The owner responded but took nearly three weeks to do so. Ask about their damage liability process before work begins.
