About this company

AllStates Restoration operates out of Manalapan Township, New Jersey, and runs water, fire, and mold jobs across central NJ. Owner Sean Ivry started the company in 2008 as a family-owned operation. They do mold inspection, testing, and remediation in-house, and they also handle water damage extraction, fire and smoke cleanup, sewage removal, and contents packout. They bill insurance companies directly and offer financing.

The mold side of the business uses NORMI- and IICRC-trained technicians. Their website describes a process that includes containment, negative air machines, dehumidification, and HEPA vacuuming with antimicrobial treatment. They also hold IAQ and EPA Lead Paint certifications. Beyond mold, they run a large cleaning division covering carpets, hardwood floors, tile, upholstery, air ducts, and dryer vents.

The company claims a broad service area spanning all 21 NJ counties plus parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Delaware. Their core territory based on review locations is Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Somerset, and Mercer counties.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Carl George draws the most mentions across reviews. Reviewers describe him as someone who explains findings on-site, walks homeowners through moisture readings, and educates them on the remediation process. Multiple reviews call him out by name for making stressful situations manageable. Selda handles office coordination, scheduling, and insurance communication, and reviewers consistently highlight how she keeps them informed. Anthony appears in field work reviews as responsive and communicative. Dan/Daniel shows up paired with Carl on assessment and remediation visits. Several reviewers specifically praise the company for working with insurance companies and reducing the administrative burden on homeowners.

What low reviews reveal

0 found across 96 total reviews at 4.9★. No 1-star reviews exist in the last 18 months. The company has zero negative reviews (3 stars or below) in the recent window across 96 total reviews at 4.9 stars. There is nothing to assess here.

Pattern worth noting

The review pattern suggests a company where the owner and a small core team (Carl, Selda, Anthony, Dan) handle most client-facing interactions personally. Carl appears as the primary assessor and on-site educator across multiple years of reviews (2022-2026), and Selda appears consistently as the scheduling and insurance coordination contact. This continuity of named staff is unusual for a restoration company and likely drives the high satisfaction rate.

Named staff

Carl George (assessor/on-site educator — positive across many reviews). Selda (office coordinator/scheduler/insurance liaison — positive across many reviews). Anthony (field technician — positive). Daniel/Dan (remediation technician — positive). Mason (field technician — positive). Rob (field technician — positive). Michael (field technician — positive). Kaelin (field technician — positive).

Bottom line

With zero negatives in the recent window and consistent praise for Carl and Selda by name, the track record is strong. Because they do both testing and remediation, get an independent mold assessment if you want a second opinion on scope. Ask for Carl on the initial inspection if mold is your primary concern.

Keep in mind

  • AllStates does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the company identifying the problem also profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent mold test before signing a remediation contract.
  • The service area listed on their website covers every county in New Jersey plus four neighboring states. Review locations cluster in Monmouth, Middlesex, and Ocean counties. If you are outside central NJ, confirm response times and crew availability before booking.
  • This is primarily a water and fire damage restoration company. Mold work is one part of a much larger operation. Ask how many mold-specific jobs their assigned crew handles per month.
  • One reviewer noted the price was "a little expensive" for mold work, though they were satisfied with the results. Get competing bids.
