What this listing says
Raleigh-Durham Triangle homeowners dealing with mold, asbestos, or water damage in older homes, from a 30-year local firm that handles all three hazards under one roof.
Best for
- Triangle homeowners in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, or Chapel Hill who need mold remediation in a home that also has asbestos concerns, especially pre-1980s construction.
- Homeowners with crawlspace mold problems who want encapsulation as part of the remediation scope.
- Property owners dealing with water damage that has progressed to mold growth and need a single contractor to handle extraction, drying, and mold removal.
- General contractors and realtors who need a subcontractor for environmental hazard abatement during renovations of older homes.
- Homeowners navigating insurance claims for water or mold damage who want a contractor that builds Xactimate-format documentation.
About this company
Remtech Environmental is a Raleigh-based environmental remediation firm that handles mold, asbestos, and water damage under one operation. They sit at 4030 Wake Forest Road and serve the entire Triangle region. What sets them apart from typical restoration companies: they handle both hazardous material abatement (asbestos, lead paint) and mold remediation, which is an unusual combination. Most mold companies do not touch asbestos, and most asbestos firms do not do mold work.
On the equipment side, they run truck-mounted extractors, LGR dehumidifiers, infrared cameras, and HEPA vacuums. Their website references IICRC-aligned processes and EPA-accredited asbestos abatement. They also do crawlspace encapsulation, which they position as a mold prevention measure. They build Xactimate estimates for insurance claims and work directly with adjusters from major carriers.
Bryan King runs the company as president. Rusty Allen serves as VP of Operations and shows up repeatedly in reviews as the person managing projects and providing daily updates. The company claims 30-plus years in business and over 1,000 completed projects. They employ a named team including Crystal Cannata in administration, Alex Murillo as a supervisor, and Jeff Brewer handling estimates and client relations.
A 5.0-star rating across 181 Google reviews is extraordinary. That volume with a perfect score suggests either a genuinely well-run operation or active review management. The review text is consistent with real customer experiences: specific project details, named staff, and realistic timelines. Multiple reviews come from Local Guides and repeat customers, which adds credibility.

Review consensus
Rusty Allen gets the most specific praise across reviews. Margaret Pereida credited him for daily project updates during asbestos removal. Grant Woody praised Rusty from the first phone call through consultation. Avery Keese called Rusty and the team communicative and high-quality on asbestos work in a 1950s home. Tim Taylor thanked both Bryan and Rusty for bending over backwards to reduce costs on a mold remediation job. Bryan King draws praise from Connie Floyd (20-year working relationship), Joe Ward (a Triangle realtor who uses and recommends Remtech), and Admin Bio-One Raleigh for fast response. Jeff Brewer earned specific praise from Larry Shelton for his instructive manner, fair pricing, and scheduling flexibility on a church asbestos job. Responsiveness is the dominant theme: Brian Lockwood noted that of four firms contacted, Remtech was the only one that replied and showed up. Sara Biondi praised their willingness to educate without being pushy. Multiple reviewers highlight on-time performance and staying within budget.

The review base skews heavily toward asbestos abatement work, not mold. Of the reviews with substantive text, the majority describe asbestos popcorn ceiling removal, floor tile abatement, or asbestos inspection. Mold-specific reviews exist (Tim Taylor, Wayne Rogers, Harold Litzenberger, Dane Coalson, Deborah Malizia, Greg Stubbs, Brandon Freeman) but are outnumbered. This is consistent with a company whose environmental remediation identity draws asbestos work from the Triangle's large stock of mid-century homes. The company also receives referrals from contractors (Michael Kern of The Bath Shop, Mitch Richmond from an indoor environment firm) and realtors (Joe Ward, Lanni Hatfield), suggesting a B2B referral pipeline alongside direct homeowner work.
Rusty Allen (VP of Operations — positive, praised repeatedly for project management, daily updates, communication, and cost reduction). Bryan King (President — positive, praised for responsiveness, long-term relationships, and willingness to communicate). Jeff Brewer (estimator/client relations — positive, praised for fair pricing, instructive manner, and scheduling flexibility). Dan (staff — positive, mentioned alongside Bryan by Connie Floyd for 20-year working relationship). Crystal Cannata (administrative — mentioned on website, not in reviews). Alex Murillo (supervisor — mentioned on website, not in reviews).
Ask for Rusty Allen if your project involves mold or asbestos remediation; he consistently delivers project updates and manages timelines. Since Remtech does both testing and remediation, get an independent mold test before signing a remediation contract to confirm the scope is accurate. The company's perfect rating and contractor referral network are strong signals, but request references from recent mold-specific jobs if that is your need.
Keep in mind
- Remtech does both mold testing and mold remediation. This is a conflict of interest: the company that tells you whether you have a problem also profits from fixing it. Consider hiring an independent testing company to confirm the scope before and after remediation.
- The service area claims are broad. They list cities across central North Carolina and mention 'nationwide service available.' If your property is outside the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle, confirm response times and whether the same crew handles the full job.
- Most reviews reference asbestos work, not mold remediation. If you are hiring specifically for mold, ask for references from recent mold-only projects.
- The 5.0-star rating with zero negative reviews in 18 months means there is no complaint data to evaluate. Ask the company directly about jobs that did not go as planned and how they handled them.
