- Property managers with rental turnovers who need carpet cleaning, duct cleaning, and occasional mold work from a single vendor.

- Commercial property owners in the KC metro dealing with water intrusion that has progressed to mold growth.
About this company
Leone Restoration & Contracting is a Kansas City-area restoration company run by Andrew Leone and his brother. Their core work is water damage restoration, but they handle the full chain from water extraction through mold remediation, fire and smoke damage, sewage cleanup, carpet cleaning, and air duct cleaning. They take both residential and commercial jobs.
The mold work stands out for one reason: they offer dry ice blasting as a remediation method alongside chemical cleaning and HEPA filtration. Dry ice blasting is uncommon in the Kansas City market and can be effective on surfaces where traditional methods risk damage. Their mold service list includes assessment, containment, demolition, sanitizing, air filtration, and disposal. They also use industrial dehumidifiers, high-capacity air movers, and moisture meters.
Andrew Leone is the owner and shows up in reviews as a hands-on presence. Multiple reviewers reference him by name alongside field technicians Koebrich and Wesley. The company also has an office coordinator named Mary who follows up after jobs. Reviewers Gabe Engelbert and Austin Phillips reference Andrew working with his brother, suggesting a family-run operation.
4.9 stars across 93 Google reviews is unusually strong. Only one review in the last 18 months falls below 4 stars. The volume skews toward carpet cleaning and water damage rather than mold-specific work, but the few mold reviews (Gabriel Uhl, Macey Robinson) confirm they handle mold jobs directly.

Their Google listing centers on coordinates near the KC metro (38.82, -94.62).

Review consensus
Koebrich and Wesley are the two field technicians named most often, praised for arriving on time, explaining the work clearly, and leaving the space clean. Andrew draws praise as an owner who stays involved and communicates directly with customers. Mary gets credit for post-job follow-up calls. Multiple reviewers highlight the company's willingness to move furniture during carpet jobs and their responsiveness to scheduling. Several Local Guide reviewers (Terrie Martin, Macey Robinson, Katie Williams, Darren Wheeldon, Roger Knibb) confirm strong experiences across carpet cleaning, duct cleaning, and water damage work.
1 found across 93 total reviews at 4.9★. Gena Wolfe's 1-star review describes a water damage job during freezing temperatures where the crew damaged her garage door, then blamed her husband. She says the company billed insurance for the repair and the owner refused to split the cost. The owner's response provides a different account: the garage door had pre-existing damage confirmed by a door company, Leone paid $958 for repairs in good faith, and the insurance company approved reimbursement. The owner also states the customer received the insurance funds but has not remitted payment, calling this a potential insurance fraud concern. The factual dispute between the two accounts is unresolved.
The cluster of 5-star reviews on March 25-26, 2025 (about 10 reviews in two days) is notable. Several of those reviewers reference Andrew personally and describe him in terms that suggest personal acquaintance rather than a service experience. This does not invalidate the reviews, but it inflates the volume count. Outside that cluster, the review history is steady and organic with consistent praise for the same staff members over 18+ months.
Andrew (owner — positive across many reviews). Koebrich (field technician — positive, praised for carpet and duct work by Katie Williams, Alan Koshak, Sophia Smither, Cindy Goodman, Benji Criner, Rachelle Moore). Wesley/Wes/Wess (field technician — positive, praised for carpet cleaning by Louise Hall, Sophia Smither, Cindy Goodman, Benji Criner, Tracy Kim, Rachelle Moore). Haley (role unclear — positive, referenced by Austin Phillips). Mary (office coordinator — positive, praised for follow-up calls by HEIDI SARNECKI).
Ask for Koebrich or Wesley if your job involves carpet or duct cleaning — they have the longest track record of named praise. For mold work, ask Andrew directly what certifications his technicians hold and request a written scope before signing. Get an independent mold test first, since Leone does both testing and remediation.
Keep in mind
- Leone does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the company assessing your mold problem is the same one billing to fix it. Get an independent mold inspection before committing to their remediation scope.
- Most of their 93 reviews reference carpet cleaning, duct cleaning, or water damage. Mold-specific reviews are a small fraction of the total, so the 4.9 rating reflects their cleaning and water work more than their mold remediation track record.
- The website does not name any specific certifications (no IICRC or ACAC credentials listed). Ask for technician credentials before work begins.
- Their one negative review involved a dispute over property damage during a water job and a billing disagreement with insurance. The owner's response was detailed and cited insurance findings, but the customer felt the company prioritized payment over resolution.
- The website markets broadly across the Kansas City metropolitan area without naming a headquarters city. Confirm travel fees and response times for your specific location.
