Maple Grove and Twin Cities metro homeowners or facility managers facing water damage, fire damage, or mold growth who want a multi-location restoration company with 30+ years in Minnesota.
Best for
- Maple Grove and northwest Twin Cities metro homeowners dealing with water damage that has led to mold, who want one company to handle extraction, drying, and remediation under a single scope.
- Commercial property managers, especially assisted living facilities and healthcare environments, who need a restoration company experienced with containment and infection-control workflows.

About this company
Anytime Restoration operates out of Maple Grove, Minnesota, as a multi-service restoration company. Mold remediation sits alongside water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, storm damage cleanup, and sewage solutions on their service list. They run five offices across the Twin Cities metro: Apple Valley, Blaine, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, and Woodbury. Verdean owns the company and shows up in reviews personally handling inspections and overseeing jobs.
Their website describes a mold remediation process that includes containment, air filtration, and full restoration tailored to each situation. For commercial properties, they specifically market to assisted living facilities, hospitals, warehouses, hotels, and apartment buildings, with HEPA filtration and containment barriers for sensitive environments. They hold IICRC certifications including AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician) and WRT, and display a BBB A+ rating.

5.0 stars across 89 Google reviews is an unusually clean record for a restoration company this size. Most reviews describe water damage jobs rather than mold-specific work, so the rating reflects the broader restoration operation.

Review consensus
Speed dominates the praise. Multiple reviewers describe same-day response for water emergencies. Verdean, the owner, is named in at least 10 reviews for being personally involved, answering questions, and keeping promises. Rich Alhabarneh (also referenced as Rich AL) appears in roughly a dozen reviews for mold removal, containment setup with negative air pressure, demolition, and drying work. Joshua draws praise for mitigation work across several reviews, with customers noting their properties looked untouched after flooding. Zach and Jonathan get repeated mentions as a pair for demolition and water damage cleanup. Kenny, a Lead PM, was praised for daily updates. The office staff gets called out separately for handling insurance claims and returning calls. Dallas drew praise for mold work from a hidden leak, with clear communication and follow-through.
2 found across 89 total reviews at 5.0★. Sam Schubert (April 2025) described a two-phase experience: the mitigation crew responded fast and did solid dryout work, but the restoration side went silent for five months. The contractor lead changed multiple times. When one finally visited, he was rude, told the homeowner to pick flooring samples, then falsely claimed their choice was discontinued. He tried to collect the insurance check without starting work. Emails, calls, and texts went unanswered. The owner responded two months later with a generic apology that did not address any specific complaint. Pedro Pablo (June 2025) left 3 stars but wrote entirely positive text praising Dallas for handling a mold issue from a hidden leak. The rating and text are mismatched, suggesting the reviewer may have selected stars accidentally.
The split between mitigation and restoration shows up structurally. Mitigation crews (Rich Alhabarneh, Joshua, Zach, Jonathan) get near-universal praise for speed and thoroughness. The one serious complaint targets the restoration side: a different team, different contractor leads, different communication standards. This suggests the company's field operations for emergency work run smoothly, but longer-term rebuild projects may not receive the same level of management attention. The owner's 100% response rate on negatives is noted, but the single response was template-style rather than engaging with the specifics of the complaint.
Verdean (owner — positive, praised for direct involvement, honesty, and keeping promises in 10+ reviews). Rich Alhabarneh / Rich AL (field technician — positive, praised for mold removal, containment, demolition, and drying in 10+ reviews). Joshua / Josh (field technician — positive, praised for mitigation work and thorough cleanup in 8+ reviews). Zach (field technician — positive, praised for demolition, mitigation, and communication in 6+ reviews). Jonathan / Johnathan (field technician — positive, paired with Zach in multiple reviews for water damage work). Dallas (project manager — positive, praised for mold remediation communication and follow-through). Kenny (Lead PM — positive, praised for daily updates and teamwork). Tyler (field technician — positive, praised for basement dryouts and water softener work). Jay (field technician — positive, praised for leak assessment and water damage response). Mark (field technician — positive, praised for demolition work).
Anytime Restoration earns its 5.0 rating on the strength of its emergency response crews. If you need fast water extraction or mold mitigation, the field teams led by Rich Alhabarneh and Joshua deliver. For longer restoration projects that involve reconstruction, ask upfront who your single point of contact will be through completion, and get a written timeline with milestones. Request references from past mold remediation clients specifically, since most reviews reflect water damage work.
Keep in mind
- Mold remediation is one service among many here. This is a water and fire damage company that also does mold work. If your mold issue has no connection to a recent water event, a company that focuses solely on mold may have more relevant experience.
- One reviewer described a clean mitigation phase followed by a five-month restoration nightmare with no communication, contractor turnover, and ghosting. The owner's response was a generic apology posted two months later. Mitigation and restoration appear to be handled by different internal teams, and the handoff between them caused a serious failure in at least one case.
- Nearly all 89 reviews describe water damage or fire damage jobs. Mold-specific feedback is thin, with only a handful of reviewers mentioning mold directly. The 5.0 rating reflects restoration work broadly, not mold remediation specifically.
- Five offices across the metro means crews are spread across a wide territory. Confirm which location and crew will handle your job, and ask whether the same team stays on through completion.
