What this listing says
Plymouth and western Twin Cities homeowners dealing with water-triggered mold who want a Wisconsin-rooted restoration company with a dedicated Minnesota office, IICRC mold credentials, and a project manager (ask for Tim B. or Rod) who checks in daily.
Best for
- Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, and western Twin Cities homeowners who need mold remediation from a company that runs containment and works with independent post-remediation testing.
- Homeowners with water damage that has turned into a mold problem, since Revive handles the full sequence from water extraction through drywall rebuild under one roof.
- Commercial property managers in the Twin Cities who need multi-unit water or mold work, given the company's documented experience with large-scale projects like a 6-floor apartment flood.
- Buyers who value daily project updates and a named project manager, since reviewers consistently describe check-ins from Rod, Tim, Brian, and Andrea throughout multi-day jobs.
About this company
Revive Restoration operates a Minneapolis-area office out of Plymouth, Minnesota, at the Bass Lake Business Centre on Nathan Lane. Their headquarters is in Madison, Wisconsin, where the company was founded. They handle water damage, fire damage, mold remediation, storm damage, asbestos and biohazard cleanup, duct and carpet cleaning, contents storage, board-up services, and full reconstruction including drywall and paint. Both residential and commercial.
The mold work stands out on their website. They describe three containment levels (source, local, and full-scale) and five remediation principles covering safety, documentation, contamination control, removal, and prevention. They reference working with independent indoor environmental professionals for post-remediation verification and uploading documentation to job management software that clients can access in real time. They use air scrubbers to create negative air pressure, HEPA vacuuming, and industrial-grade dehumidifiers. The site claims ten years of passing post-remediation verifications. They hold IICRC mold remediation credentials, Chuck DeWald Structural Drying Academy training, and EPA Lead-Safe certification.
The company started in Wisconsin and describes Minnesota as an expansion market. The Plymouth office serves Minneapolis, St. Paul, Edina, Minnetonka, Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, and Rogers. The Wisconsin office covers Madison and surrounding cities. Pat Simonett signed the owner response on the one negative review, indicating ownership involvement. The company won an InBusiness 2020 Small Business Award in Wisconsin and uses Xactimate for estimating and DocuSketch for documentation.
4.8 stars across 30 Google reviews for this location is strong. Nearly every review is 5 stars, and the few that are not still rate 4 stars. The review volume is modest but the consistency is notable.

1 found across 30 total reviews at 4.8★. (1 found across 30 total reviews at 4.8★) Nathan Petersen (24 reviews, Local Guide) left a 1-star review in January 2026 describing a pushy salesperson showing up in a van speeding down the street. The review contains no details about the service itself, no named staff, and no description of mold or restoration work. Owner Pat Simonett responded a month later stating they cannot locate any record of Nathan as a client and asked him to call if the review was left in error. This is the only negative review in the last 18 months.
The review base splits into two visible groups: Tim B. dominates the older reviews (late 2024 through early 2026), while Rod Israeli, Brian, Carson, and a larger field crew appear in the more recent reviews (March-May 2026). This may reflect a growing Minnesota operation where Tim handled early sales and project management while the company staffed up with dedicated field crews. Tammy's review is notable because it describes initial work that did not meet expectations before Jesse B. stepped in to make things right. The company's willingness to correct course and Tammy's ultimate 5-star rating suggest they take rework seriously rather than walking away from problems.

Ask for Tim B. if you want someone who will explain the process and follow up, or Rod Israeli if your project needs close daily management through reconstruction. The crew roster is large and growing, which means you should confirm who will be on your specific job. Get an independent mold assessment before agreeing to remediation scope, and ask whether your crew dispatches from Plymouth or Madison.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. The same company that identifies your mold problem can bill to fix it. Their website mentions working with independent indoor environmental professionals for post-remediation verification, but you should request a separate company for the initial mold assessment before agreeing to any remediation scope.
- This is a Wisconsin-headquartered company with a satellite office in Plymouth. The Madison team has handled work as far as Janesville (per Tom Trudeau's review), which suggests crews may travel between states. Ask whether your crew dispatches from Plymouth or Madison and how that affects response time for non-emergency work.
- Emergency jobs take priority over scheduled work. Beth Ott's review notes that ETAs shift because emergencies bump non-emergency projects. Build flexibility into your timeline if your job is not urgent.
- The only negative review (1 star from Nathan Petersen in January 2026) alleges a pushy salesperson arriving in a van. The owner responded that they have no record of this person as a client. With only 30 reviews total, there is limited data to identify complaint patterns.
- The fans and dehumidifiers used during drying are loud. Beth Ott flagged this as something to plan for, especially with noise-sensitive household members.
