About this company
Executive Restoration is an owner-operated restoration company based in Mint Hill, North Carolina. David Snell started the business in 1987 with $300 and a carpet cleaner, eventually expanding into water damage, fire damage, and mold work. He runs the company today and personally handles inspections and most jobs, with assistants supporting larger projects.
The company offers mold inspection, mold remediation, water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, asbestos testing, lead paint testing, painting, and sheetrock repair. Their mold remediation process uses containment, negative air pressure, and HEPA filtration. They advertise 24/7 emergency response and work directly with insurance companies on claims. They also offer first responder discounts.
Snell has been featured on ABC News, NBC News, and Fox News, and contributed to a book called "Solutions to Mold." The company holds a BBB A+ rating. He lists a personal email address and encourages direct calls, texts, or even free phone consultations.
86 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 stars is rare for any restoration company. Zero negative reviews in the last 18 months. Reviewers consistently describe Snell as someone who spends significant time educating homeowners, often going beyond the scope of what they hired him for.

Review consensus
David Snell dominates the reviews. Reviewers praise his responsiveness, with multiple people noting same-day callbacks and weekend or holiday availability. Several mention he spent 20 to 45 minutes on the phone answering questions before any paid work. Greg Efthimiou and Kelly Marie both specifically note the lack of upselling. Rachel Butler highlights his ability to keep anxious homeowners calm. AP describes a water damage emergency where other companies quoted 72-hour waits but Snell arrived quickly with equipment. Eric Little and Lance Gower both describe inspection visits that felt educational. Multiple reviewers mention fast lab result turnaround, with Andrea Cano noting overnight delivery of results.
0 found across 86 total reviews at 5.0★. No 1-star or negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With 86 total reviews at 5.0 stars, there is no complaint data to analyze.
The absence of any negative reviews across 86 ratings is unusual. This is a small, owner-operated company where the owner personally handles most interactions, which likely explains the consistency. Snell's willingness to give free phone consultations and DIY advice (noted by ROBIN R and Brit) suggests he filters out jobs that are not a good fit rather than taking everything that comes in.
David Snell / Dave (owner and operator — overwhelmingly positive across nearly every review for responsiveness, knowledge, no-pressure approach, and willingness to educate homeowners).
With 86 reviews and a perfect 5.0, David Snell has no recent complaint patterns to watch for. Ask for David directly when you call, since he is the operation. If your project is large enough to involve his assistants, ask upfront who will do the hands-on work and how David stays involved.
Keep in mind
- Executive Restoration does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company diagnosing the problem also profits from fixing it. Ask whether they will accept a third-party post-remediation clearance test.
- David Snell personally handles most work, which means scheduling depends on one person's availability. Multiple reviewers mention weekend and evening appointments, but during busy periods you may wait.
- The service area lists 23 cities across the Charlotte metro, from Belmont to Wingate to Huntersville. Confirm response times for locations far from Mint Hill.
- The website claims availability "anywhere around the world," which is a marketing stretch. Clarify actual travel range before booking.
