About this company
Disaster Cleanup Services is a family-owned restoration company based in Bohemia, Long Island, founded in 2011 by Peter D'Allessandro. They hold a New York State mold remediation contractor license and serve Long Island plus all five NYC boroughs and Westchester. Peter started in the restoration industry around 2005, responding to major hurricanes including Sandy, Irene, Gustav, and Ike across multiple states before establishing this company.
They handle the full disaster-to-rebuild cycle: water extraction and structural drying, mold remediation with containment and HEPA filtration, fire and smoke damage cleanup, basement waterproofing, crawlspace encapsulation, and reconstruction. They use Xactimate for insurance estimates and bill insurance companies directly. Their website explicitly references NY State's Article 32 mold law and notes that mold assessment cannot legally be performed by the same contractor doing remediation.
The company has a visible leadership team. Michael Domenichello manages business operations, Matthew Lisciandri handles construction, and project managers Sean Masem and Adam Austin run field crews. Peter's brother John D'Allessandro works as a mitigation technician. The company maintains separate Long Island (631) and NYC (347) office phone lines alongside a toll-free number.
A 5.0-star rating across 30 Google reviews is unusual for a restoration company. Every review with text praises response speed and crew professionalism. Multiple reviewers are repeat customers, and several Local Guides with established review histories have left positive ratings.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Bohemia, NY (Suffolk County, Long Island). Serves Long Island including Smithtown, Islip, Huntington, Brookhaven, Melville, and surrounding communities. Also claims service areas in Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, and Westchester County, with a dedicated NYC office line. The spread from Bohemia to Manhattan is roughly 50 miles, so response times to the outer boroughs and Westchester may vary.
Review consensus
Pete D'Allessandro is mentioned by name in the majority of reviews. Customers consistently highlight his personal involvement, from showing up at homes the same evening to staying involved throughout multi-day projects. Mike, Sean, Adam, and Mario are praised by name for meticulous, courteous fieldwork during a mold and water damage job. Matt is recognized alongside Pete for neat work and strong communication. Multiple reviewers note the company arrived within hours of the initial call. Repeat customer C Sell returned for a second job and praised Pete's dedication. Lisa Brunetti credits the team with identifying a hidden bathroom leak causing breathing issues. Lynn Travis, a Local Guide, highlights their handling of mold removal, construction repairs, floor replacement, and painting as a single managed project for elderly parents.
0 found across 30 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With 30 total reviews at a 5.0-star rating, there are no complaints to analyze.
The review pattern points to a company where the owner is directly involved in most jobs. Pete appears in reviews spanning 2018 through 2026, suggesting hands-on ownership rather than a management-only role. Several reviewers mention being repeat customers or having previously hired other companies that failed to solve the problem. The company's small size likely contributes to both its high ratings and its limited review volume.
Pete/Peter D'Allessandro (owner/president — praised in majority of reviews for fast response, personal involvement, and expertise). Mike/Michael (field team member — praised for meticulous work by Joe Macchiarola and Dawn Beck). Sean (field team member — praised for meticulous, courteous work by Joe Macchiarola). Adam (field team member — praised for meticulous, courteous work by Joe Macchiarola). Mario (field team member — praised for meticulous, courteous work by Joe Macchiarola). Matt/Matthew (construction — praised for neat, clean work and communication by Patricia DeNaro).
This is a small, owner-operated company where Pete D'Allessandro is personally involved in most projects. If you value direct access to the owner and want a single company to handle everything from emergency water extraction through final reconstruction, ask for Pete when you call. The 5.0 rating across 30 reviews is strong, but the small review count means you are relying heavily on that track record holding up.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. Under NY State law, a separate licensed assessor must perform the mold assessment before remediation can begin. Their website acknowledges this requirement, but confirm they will use an independent assessor for your project.
- Their service area stretches from Long Island through all five NYC boroughs and Westchester. If you are in Manhattan or the Bronx, ask about response times from their Bohemia headquarters and whether they have crews staged closer to the city.
- With 30 reviews and a 5.0 rating, the review sample is small. There are no negative reviews to learn from, which means you have less information about how the company handles dissatisfied customers.
- They are primarily a restoration company, not a mold-only specialist. Mold remediation is one of several service lines alongside water damage, fire damage, and waterproofing.
