Provider snapshot
What this listing says
Cleveland-area homeowners who want a mold company that uses plant-based enzyme treatments instead of chemical-heavy demolition, with same-day inspections and most jobs finished in under a day.
Best for
- Cleveland and inner-ring suburb homeowners dealing with basement or attic mold who want treatment without major demolition.
- Real estate transactions where mold testing and fast remediation need to happen on a tight closing timeline. Multiple reviewers mention realtor referrals.
- Property managers and commercial clients who need indoor air quality services across multiple units, including duct cleaning, disinfection, and air testing.
- Homeowners concerned about chemical exposure who want a plant-based enzyme approach rather than conventional chemical treatments.
- Crawl space moisture problems where encapsulation and mold treatment need to happen together.
About this company
Green Home Solutions of Cleveland is a franchise location based in downtown Cleveland at 1925 St Clair Ave NE, owned by Ajmal Kazmi. Their primary identity is indoor air quality, with mold remediation and testing as the core service. They serve both residential and commercial clients across Cleveland, Beachwood, Mentor, Westlake, Chagrin Falls, Shaker Heights, and Cleveland Heights.
What stands out is their treatment method. They use plant-based enzymes to break down mold rather than relying on heavy demolition. The website says most jobs finish in under a day with little to no teardown of materials. They also offer a probiotic air purification service, which is unusual for the market. Their products carry EPA registration and they reference following ANSI/IICRC S520 guidelines for remediation work. Beyond mold, they handle odor removal, crawl space encapsulation, HVAC and dryer duct cleaning, indoor disinfection, and air quality testing.
This is a franchise under the Green Home Solutions national brand (OnAxis Franchising Group, LLC), not an independent local company. The franchise model means standardized products and processes across locations. Ajmal Kazmi runs the Cleveland operation, with Rick Sanders handling most inspections and estimates based on review mentions going back to at least 2019.
At 4.8 stars across 91 Google reviews, this is a strong rating with meaningful volume. Only one review in the last 18 months came in below 4 stars. That consistency across several years of reviews suggests the operation delivers on what it promises for most customers.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in downtown Cleveland, Ohio at 1925 St Clair Ave NE (44114). The website lists Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, Westlake, Beachwood, Mentor, Chagrin Falls, and Shaker Heights as served areas. Reviewers are consistent with the greater Cleveland metro. The spread from Mentor (east) to Westlake (west) covers roughly 30 miles of the Lake Erie shoreline suburbs.
Review consensus
Rick Sanders is the most frequently named employee across the full review history. Reviewers consistently describe him as knowledgeable, honest about scope (Brigid Boettler said he told her what she could handle herself versus what needed remediation), and quick to provide inspections and estimates. Rob Svets, Kevin Messinger, Dovi Howitt, Sandra Childers, Jen Jones Donatelli, Adam Blaha, Stephanie Stallings, Andrew Bair, RA D, and Phyllis Mitchell all name Rick directly. Manzoor gets a detailed callout from Maha Mobeen for attention to detail and availability across multiple work orders. Mike handled AC maintenance for Mompi Gonzalez. Abdul and Ghulan did remediation work that Arlene Olson praised. Rich and his team handled Kirsten Buccigrossi's job. Be handles scheduling and gets a specific positive mention. Operational themes across reviews: fast response times (multiple same-day or next-day inspections), quick turnaround on remediation (often one day), reasonable pricing mentioned repeatedly, and clean worksites.
1 found across 91 total reviews at 4.8★. Anthony Royce (March 2025) had Green Home Solutions cancel his mold testing appointment 3 minutes before the scheduled time, saying they only then noticed their tests were cancelled. He rescheduled and they no-call-no-showed on the second attempt. When he called to figure out what happened, they asked him to take a third day off work. He is a Local Guide with 58 reviews, which adds credibility. The owner did not respond to this review.
The scheduling failure in the sole recent negative is a one-off in the data, not a pattern. What is notable is the 0% owner response rate on recent negative reviews. The company did not reply to the one complaint in the last 18 months. This contrasts with the overwhelmingly positive review history, where reviewers repeatedly praise communication and responsiveness. The franchise model means the local operation depends on Ajmal Kazmi's management. Rick Sanders appears consistently from 2019 through 2023, suggesting long tenure, but the most recent reviews (2025-2026) do not name him, raising the question of whether he is still active.
Rick Sanders (inspector/estimator — praised repeatedly across many reviews for honesty, knowledge, and fast scheduling). Manzoor (field staff — praised for attention to detail and availability). Mike (field technician — praised for AC maintenance work). Be (scheduling coordinator — praised for easy scheduling). Abdul (remediation technician — praised for remediation work). Ghulan (remediation technician — praised for remediation work). Rich (team lead — praised for professionalism).
For most mold jobs in the Cleveland area, this company delivers fast inspections, one-day treatments, and reasonable pricing. If Rick Sanders is still on staff, ask for him by name for your inspection. Confirm your appointment 24 hours ahead given the scheduling failure one reviewer experienced. And because they do both testing and remediation, bring in your own mold assessor before signing off on a remediation scope.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That is a conflict of interest. The company that finds mold profits from removing it. Get an independent mold test before authorizing remediation work.
- This is a franchise, not an independent local company. Products and processes are standardized by the national brand. Local service quality depends on the franchise owner and crew.
- The one recent 1-star review describes two consecutive scheduling failures, including a no-call-no-show. The owner did not respond to that review. If scheduling reliability matters to you, confirm your appointment window the day before.
- Their service area covers a wide swath of the Cleveland metro, from Mentor to Westlake. Confirm response times for locations farther from their downtown Cleveland office.
- The website leans heavily on marketing language about their products being "safe" and "eco-friendly." Ask specifically what the active ingredients are and whether post-treatment ventilation is needed.
