About this company
Eco Pro Restoration operates out of Pikesville, Maryland, serving the greater Baltimore area. Owner Jerry Stal (also known as Yossi) runs this family-owned restoration company, which claims over 30 years of experience across water damage, mold, fire restoration, and basement waterproofing. They hold PMII Mold Remediation and Mold Inspector licenses alongside an IICRC Water Damage license and MHIC contractor license.
The standout here is their use of the Goldmorr mold removal system, which they say allows remediation without tearing out drywall in most cases. They also run ozone-based odor removal, thermal imaging for moisture detection, and indoor air quality testing. They handle the full cycle from emergency mitigation through reconstruction, so you deal with one company instead of juggling contractors.
Jerry Stal runs the operation hands-on. He shows up to inspections personally, often on weekends and holidays. Multiple reviewers describe him telling them they don't have a mold problem and not charging for the visit. That pattern of turning away unnecessary work is unusually consistent across years of reviews.
4.9 stars across 284 Google reviews is exceptional volume for a local restoration company. Only one review in the last 18 months fell below four stars. That kind of sustained rating at that volume is rare in restoration, where emergency situations and insurance disputes generate complaints even for good operators.
Services
Service area
Eco Pro Restoration is headquartered in Pikesville, Maryland, just northwest of Baltimore. The website claims 24/7 emergency service throughout Maryland. Reviews come predominantly from the Baltimore metropolitan area. For locations outside the Baltimore metro, confirm response time and availability before booking.
Review consensus
Jerry Stal dominates the reviews. Reviewers consistently name him by first name, as "Mr. Stahl," or as "Yossi Stal." The most common praise pattern: Jerry inspects, determines the problem is less severe than feared, and either provides free advice or doesn't charge for the consultation. Multiple reviewers describe him recommending cheaper alternatives or DIY fixes instead of selling remediation work. Speed of response is the second strongest theme — same-day and weekend visits appear throughout. Chris receives praise in one detailed review for quality fieldwork on a water remediation cleanup. Repeat customers appear multiple times (Hyam Singer, Chris Leaman), indicating retention.
1 found across 284 total reviews at 4.9★. A single recent complaint from a Local Guide reviewer who requested an estimate for weeks and never received it. The owner did not respond to this review. The complaint is straightforward and credible given the reviewer's established account, but it stands alone — no other reviews mention unresponsive communication.
The most distinctive pattern across these reviews is Jerry personally telling potential customers they don't need his services. At least a dozen reviewers describe nearly identical experiences: they call worried about mold, Jerry comes out (often same-day, sometimes on weekends or holidays), determines the issue is minor or nonexistent, gives free advice, and doesn't charge. This is unusual for a restoration company and suggests the business relies on reputation-driven referrals rather than maximizing each lead. The 0% owner response rate on the single negative review is worth noting — it could indicate the company doesn't actively manage its online reputation, or that this complaint slipped through.
Jerry Stal, also known as Yossi Stal / Mr. Stahl (owner — overwhelmingly positive across dozens of reviews for honesty, responsiveness, and free consultations). Chris (crew/field technician — positive, praised for integrity and quality work in a water remediation job).
Ask for Jerry by name when you call. He runs the inspections personally and has a documented pattern of giving honest assessments even when it costs him business. If you don't hear back within a day or two, call again — the one negative review suggests follow-up can fall through the cracks. Get an independent mold test if the job involves both testing and remediation, since Eco Pro does both.
Keep in mind
- Eco Pro does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest — the company finding the mold is the same one billing to remove it. Consider getting an independent test from a separate inspector to confirm their findings before authorizing remediation work.
- One recent reviewer (October 2025) reported requesting an estimate for weeks and never receiving one. This came from a Local Guide with 22 reviews, lending it credibility. If you reach out and don't hear back quickly, follow up by phone rather than waiting.
- The website claims service across all of Maryland. For emergency response, that 24/7 promise is more realistic in the Baltimore metro area than in western Maryland or the Eastern Shore. Confirm response time for your specific location.
- They offer financing, which can be helpful for large jobs but also means the total cost may be higher than paying upfront. Ask for the cash price alongside any financed quote.
