Best for

About this company
Nash Everett is an owner-operated mold and indoor air quality company based in Belmar, New Jersey. Owner Gary Szymanski runs inspections, estimates, and remediation projects personally. His cell number is on the website, and multiple reviewers describe calling it directly. The company focuses on mold removal, mold testing, indoor air quality assessment, and moisture management for residential and commercial properties across New Jersey and into Pennsylvania.
What stands out is the chemical-free remediation approach. The website states they design cleaning methods that avoid chemical sprays, specifically noting they work with mold-sensitive and chemically sensitive individuals. They also offer dry ice blasting for mold removal, DNA-based analysis (ERMI, HERTSMI, mycotoxin testing), and species-level identification through accredited labs. The service list is unusually broad for a company this size: VOC testing, formaldehyde testing, nicotine remediation, bacteria testing, and crawl space encapsulation alongside standard mold work. They use infrared thermal imaging and particle counters for inspections.
Gary Szymanski holds a CIEC (Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant) credential and the company employs an Environmental Scientist who holds a CETC (Certified Environmental Thermography Consultant) designation. The website references IICRC and ACAC certifications. The company won Asbury Park Best of the Best in the Home Improvement category in both 2018 and 2019. Financing is available for larger projects.
A 4.9-star rating across 65 Google reviews is exceptional. Every single review with text is 5 stars, and zero negative reviews appeared in the 18-month window. That level of consistency across eight years of reviews, with reviewers ranging from first-time accounts to Local Guides with 80+ reviews, suggests a genuinely strong operation rather than inflated numbers.
Services
Service area
Based in Belmar, New Jersey at 1601 NJ-71 Suite 1B. Primary service area is New Jersey, with the website also claiming coverage in Pennsylvania and Connecticut for commercial mold testing. Reviews confirm work across central and coastal New Jersey. The website mentions national and international availability, though the operation appears to be a small owner-operated team, so confirm scheduling and travel for locations far from the Jersey Shore.
Review consensus
Gary Szymanski dominates the reviews. Reviewers describe him arriving on time, spending hours on inspections, answering phone calls personally, and refusing to upsell. Several reviewers say he told them remediation was not needed after inspecting, which saved them money. Brittany Manheim called Nash Everett the 4th company she tried and said they found the source of her problem in 10 minutes. Brenda Friedman noted the team arrived on time every day during a week-long remediation. Emily Stollman, who has mold illness, credited Gary with taking her health concerns seriously. Meg Sosnow used Nash Everett multiple times and praised his understanding of how to remediate around health-sensitive individuals. Phoebe Bloom, also diagnosed with mold illness, praised Gary for accommodation and responsiveness. Gabe, a service technician, drew praise from Jack Zaccone for being knowledgeable and explaining the process well. Jerry was mentioned by Jonathan Berman as helpful and going above and beyond. Colleen Sammond described Gary coming immediately during a real estate emergency after her father passed. Lane Farrell, a Local Guide with 83 reviews, praised the team for not overselling.
0 found across 65 total reviews at 4.9★. No negative reviews (0 found across 65 total reviews at 4.9 stars). Zero reviews at 1, 2, or 3 stars appeared in the 18-month window. There is no complaint data to assess.
A cluster of five 5-star reviews posted on September 18, 2022 from reviewers whose names and profiles suggest they may not be local New Jersey customers (single-review accounts, non-local-sounding names). Each review is short and generic compared to the detailed, clearly authentic reviews from other customers. This does not prove anything but stands out as unusual in an otherwise organic review profile.
Gary Szymanski (owner/project manager — positive across nearly every review, praised for honesty, responsiveness, personal involvement, and refusing unnecessary work). Gabe (service technician — positive, praised by Jack Zaccone for knowledge and professionalism during a mold inspection). Jerry (technician — positive, mentioned by Jonathan Berman as helpful and exceeding expectations).
Gary Szymanski runs this company hands-on, and the review record reflects it. Ask for Gary directly when you call. Because Nash Everett does both testing and remediation, request that post-remediation clearance testing come from a separate, independent company. If you have chemical sensitivities or mold illness, this is one of the few companies in the area that explicitly designs remediation around those needs.
Keep in mind
- Nash Everett does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the company identifying your mold problem is the same one billing to fix it. Their website has a section claiming independent, unbiased testing, but they also offer remediation. Get a separate assessment before committing to a remediation contract.
- The website claims service across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, and mentions national and international availability. For a small owner-operated company based in Belmar, confirm realistic response time and availability for locations outside the central Jersey Shore area.
- The website is dense with SEO content and marketing language that sometimes overstates the company's scope. The actual operation appears to be Gary and a small crew. Ask how many technicians will be on your job and what the timeline looks like.
- No negative reviews exist in the recent window. That means you have no complaint data to calibrate expectations. A 4.9 rating with 65 reviews is strong, but ask for references from projects similar to yours.
- Some positive reviews come from single-review accounts, and a cluster of 5-star reviews appeared in late 2022 from reviewers with names suggesting they may not be local (Hoorab Aslam, Munyasya Talks, Abderrazzak Kassi, Rudrajit kumar, Wali Khan). These all posted on the same date. This does not confirm anything, but it is worth noting.
