What this listing says
Kootenai County homeowners dealing with mold after water damage who want a single company to handle extraction, remediation, and rebuild under one contract.
Best for
- Homeowners in Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, or Rathdrum who need mold removal — especially tied to a real estate transaction on a tight deadline.
- Properties with combined water and mold damage where you want one company to handle extraction, drying, remediation, and structural repair without subcontracting.
- Crawl space problems in North Idaho homes — they offer encapsulation, vapor barriers, and moisture management systems beyond simple mold cleanup.
- Buyers or sellers who need fast turnaround on mold remediation to close a deal, since multiple realtors praise their ability to schedule and finish work within days.
About this company
Affordable Restoration is a family-owned restoration company based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, run by father-and-son team Jason and Brennan Moshan. They handle mold removal, water damage, fire damage, crawl space work, and a full slate of remodeling services. They also offer mold testing — air samples are available as an add-on to their free visual crawl space and attic inspections.
On the mold side, they describe using containment with negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatments, and vaporized hydrogen peroxide for deeper penetration. They also install crawl space vapor barriers (including the CleanSpace system) and a "Dry Track" moisture management system for upper floors above crawl spaces. Their water damage work follows IICRC S500 standards. The remodeling arm covers kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, siding, roofing, painting, and gutters — so they can take a project from emergency response through final rebuild.
The About page says the company was founded in 2004, though the homepage states they have been serving North Idaho since 1991. One reviewer references Jason having 30-plus years of experience. They hold Idaho contractor license RCT#35724 and claim to carry mold/pollution insurance, which they note many contractors skip. They serve both residential and commercial properties.
Their Google rating sits at 4.3 stars across 61 reviews. Most positives come from homeowners and realtors praising fast turnaround on mold jobs tied to real estate transactions. The 3 recent negatives describe a pattern of work left incomplete or billed beyond the original quote, which pulls the rating below 4.5.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, at 3424 N. Pine Hill Pl. They serve Kootenai County including Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, and Athol. They also list Sandpoint, Kellogg, and St. Maries in North Idaho, plus Spokane, Washington. The span from St. Maries to Sandpoint is roughly 100 miles, so confirm response times and any travel charges for locations outside the immediate Coeur d'Alene area.
Review consensus
Jason Moshan is named by more than 20 reviewers and praised for fast response times, often replying within an hour and scheduling work the next day. Multiple realtors — including Stacey Gimlin, Dianna Haug, Laurel Jonas, Kirstin Darry, and Ace Becktold — specifically praise the company's ability to handle mold remediation on tight real estate timelines. Chase is named alongside Jason for navigating scheduling around transactions. Several reviewers highlight fair and transparent pricing. Kevin Burkamp notes mold remediation done five years ago that never came back. Pat Hughes, Joel Yates, and Andy Lowry all describe crews arriving within a day of first contact and completing work quickly.
3 found across 61 total reviews at 4.3★. Christy King paid $40,000 for window installation and discovered mid-project that the company's Washington state license had lapsed. She says they lied about obtaining permits for weeks. Nine months later, she still had not received missing window screens. The owner responded that the license was reinstated and that the manager who handled the job is no longer with the company. Jesse Anderson paid $2,500 for bathroom vent work that was never actually completed — a fake vent was placed on the roof to make it look like work had been done, but no pipe was connected. No owner response on that review. Nora Sponaugle (2 stars) was quoted a price but workers left without finishing, requiring multiple return visits, then the company billed an extra $500 six months later for something she believed was covered under warranty.
The negative reviews share a theme: work that was not actually completed as described or quoted. In one case a vent was faked, in another workers left before finishing, and in a third the license status was misrepresented. These are not quality-of-work complaints — they describe accountability gaps between what was promised and what was delivered. The owner responded to only one of the three recent negatives (33% response rate), and that response acknowledged the licensing lapse while noting the responsible manager had been let go.
Jason Moshan (owner, mold specialist — overwhelmingly positive across 20-plus reviews). Chase (field role — positive, praised for navigating real estate transaction scheduling). Mike (field role — positive, mentioned as kind and family-oriented in one review).
If you hire Affordable Restoration, ask for Jason to be directly involved in scoping your project and request a written checklist of all deliverables before work begins. The positive reviews are genuine and numerous — realtors use them repeatedly, which is a strong signal. But the negatives describe a pattern of work not being completed as quoted, so verify everything is done before making final payment. Ask for post-remediation testing by an independent party.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company deciding whether you have a problem is also the one billing you to fix it. Ask whether they will accept a third-party test result, or request that post-remediation verification be done by an independent inspector.
- Three recent complaints describe work left unfinished or done incorrectly — including a vent that was never actually connected and workers who left before completing quoted tasks. Ask for a written punch list and inspect before making final payment.
- One reviewer reported the company did not hold a valid Washington state contractor registration during their project. The owner's response confirmed the registration had lapsed. If your property is in Washington, verify their current WA registration before signing.
- Their service area claims are broad — Coeur d'Alene to Sandpoint to Kellogg to St. Maries, plus Spokane. That covers a wide geographic range. Confirm travel fees and response times for locations outside Kootenai County.
