About this company
Spangler Restoration is a Raleigh-based restoration company with its main headquarters in Charlotte and four offices across North Carolina (Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Boone) plus South Carolina coverage. They handle mold damage alongside water, fire, storm, trauma, and biohazard work. Their primary identity is water damage restoration, but they also do mold testing and mold remediation.
What stands out is their scale and industry focus. They serve multifamily properties, education facilities, government buildings, healthcare, assisted living, hospitality, and commercial/industrial sites — not just homeowners. They offer financing for restoration work. Their website mentions IICRC certification and 24/7 emergency response. The company is owner-operated by Josh Spangler.
Spangler has been in business for over 20 years, growing from a single location into a regional operation with four North Carolina offices. They are members of the Restoration Industry Association and multiple apartment association groups across the Carolinas, which suggests a strong pipeline of commercial and multifamily referral work.
With 4.6 stars across 105 Google reviews and zero negative reviews in the past 18 months, Spangler has an unusually clean recent record. The volume of reviews mentioning insurance company referrals suggests they get a significant portion of their work through carrier programs.

Coffey, linda stone, Rick D, Alicia Lema McNeil, and Huiyang Zhou as a project manager who keeps owners informed at every step. Jason appears in reviews from Emily Turner, Ariella Gomez, Duane Chagnon, carl bimbo, Amy Krec, Paris peppers, and RT Moore for reliable project management.

0 found across 105 total reviews at 4.6★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. The only non-5-star recent reviews are two 4-star reviews. RT Moore (November 2025) reported good work from Jason, Jake, and Kevin but noted some days when crews did not show up as expected. Stephanie Grabiel (May 2025) gave 4 stars for good quality work but wished for more guidance on material selection and project planning.
A large share of reviewers mention being referred by their insurance company, which suggests Spangler operates within carrier preferred-vendor programs. This creates a built-in quality floor — insurers drop vendors who generate complaints — but also means buyers typically did not choose Spangler themselves. The two 4-star reviews both flag communication gaps around scheduling and material guidance, hinting that the company runs lean relative to its volume.

Spangler has an unusually strong recent record with no complaints in 18 months, which is rare for a company with 105 reviews. Ask for Christian Cruz or Isaiah Peck as your project manager if mold work is involved — both have consistent praise for communication. Since they do both testing and remediation, get an independent mold assessment first so you have leverage and an unbiased read on scope.
Keep in mind
- Spangler does both mold testing and mold remediation. This is a conflict of interest — the same company that tells you whether you have a mold problem also profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to remediation.
- This is primarily a water damage restoration company. Mold work appears secondary to their core water and fire damage business. Ask how many standalone mold jobs they handle per month versus mold found during water damage projects.
- Their service area spans from Boone to South Carolina — a large geographic footprint. Confirm that your location is served by the Raleigh office directly and what response time to expect.
- Several reviews mention multiple project managers on a single job. Ask upfront who your single point of contact will be and whether that person will stay with the project through completion.
