About this company
Calvary Restoration and Construction is a family-owned company based in Metuchen, NJ, that handles both disaster restoration and general construction. Their main differentiator is that they do the full job in-house: emergency water extraction, mold remediation, structural drying, and then the rebuild (drywall, flooring, painting, cabinetry) all under one contract. You don't need to coordinate a separate contractor after the mitigation crew leaves.
On the equipment side, they run truck-mounted extraction units, submersible pumps, commercial air movers, and industrial dehumidifiers. They use infrared cameras and moisture meters for damage mapping and track dryness with hygrometers through the drying cycle. They also use Matterport 3D scanning for documentation. Their mold work is done under a New Jersey state mold remediation license, and they treat affected surfaces with antimicrobial agents after removal. They handle all three IICRC water damage categories, including Category 3 (sewage/black water) work with specialized disposal.
Calvary is family-owned and operated, serving Central New Jersey. They work directly with insurance carriers on claims documentation and have relationships with major insurers including State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, Allstate, Farmers, Chubb, and others. They also offer third-party financing through Enhancify for out-of-pocket costs.
With a 4.6-star rating across 37 Google reviews and no negative reviews in the past 18 months, the review record is unusually clean for a restoration company. Reviewers consistently name the same staff members and describe responsive communication, which suggests a tight operation rather than a revolving crew.

Review consensus
Nick is the most frequently named person across the reviews, appearing in at least 10 separate reviews. Reviewers credit him with handling insurance companies, communicating clearly, and managing projects end to end. Kat appears alongside Nick in several reviews, praised for responsiveness and keeping customers informed. Erick is named in multiple recent reviews for hands-on crew work, with one reviewer (Tissy Tissy) calling out bathroom, bedroom, and roof work. Kevin appears as a property manager in one review, described as 'exceptional' for guiding the homeowner through each step. Multiple reviewers highlight that the crew showed up on time, kept the workspace clean, and completed work faster than expected. Insurance navigation is the single strongest praise theme: reviewers describe Calvary stepping in when insurance was difficult and getting claims approved.
0 found across 37 total reviews at 4.6★. No negative reviews (0 found across 37 total reviews at 4.6 stars) have been posted in the last 18 months. There is no recent complaint data to assess.
The absence of recent negative reviews across 37 total is notable. The review base skews toward water damage and reconstruction projects rather than standalone mold jobs, so the mold-specific track record is thinner than the overall numbers suggest. Several reviewers mention being referred by their insurance company, which indicates Calvary is on preferred vendor lists for at least some carriers.
Nick (project manager/owner — positive across 10+ reviews for insurance handling, communication, and project oversight). Kat (office/coordination — positive across 5+ reviews for responsiveness and client communication). Erick (crew lead — positive in recent reviews for hands-on restoration and construction work). Kevin (property manager — positive in one review for guiding the process). Oliver (crew — positive in one review for organized and quick work). Daniel (crew — positive in one review for organized and quick work). Al (crew/responder — positive in two reviews for fast emergency response). Ryan (crew/team lead — positive in one review for leak detection and mold remediation).
Ask for Nick or Erick by name when you call. The review record is clean and the insurance-handling praise is consistent enough to take seriously. Since most reviews describe water damage and reconstruction rather than standalone mold work, ask Calvary to walk you through their mold remediation process specifically and confirm they hold a current NJ state mold remediation license.
Keep in mind
- Calvary does remediation but not mold testing. You will need a separate company for pre- and post-remediation testing, which is actually the right setup since it avoids one company both diagnosing and billing for the fix.
- Their website says they serve 'Central New Jersey and surrounding areas' and lists 15+ cities across Middlesex County, but their office is in Metuchen. If you are outside Middlesex County, confirm they will service your area and ask about any travel charges.
- The website prominently advertises financing through Enhancify with rates 'as low as 0% APR.' Those rates depend on your credit, and financing restoration work adds cost. Ask for the total financed price vs. cash price before signing.
- With 37 reviews the sample is relatively small. The rating is strong but based on fewer data points than larger competitors.
