About this company
Dri Right is an owner-operated restoration company based in Elgin, Oklahoma, serving the Lawton, Oklahoma City, Duncan, Chickasha, and Altus areas. Owner Clayton Hutson founded the company in 2018 after growing up in South Central Oklahoma, and the leadership team claims over 30 years of combined experience in restoration, construction, and insurance claims.
Their mold work follows a specific sequence: containment with HEPA filtration, removal of affected materials, treatment with high-concentration hydrogen peroxide, HEPA vacuuming, and fine particulate cleaning of all surfaces including equipment and containment barriers. They require post-clearance testing by an independent inspector before calling a job done. Beyond mold, they handle water damage, fire and smoke damage, storm damage, contents restoration, crawlspace encapsulation, air duct cleaning, and full reconstruction.
The company carries IICRC certification and has serviced over 2,500 properties since opening, with over $20 million in restoration and reconstruction work. Clayton remains directly involved in jobs — multiple reviewers mention him showing up personally, sometimes on weekends and evenings.
4.9 stars across 42 Google reviews is unusually strong, especially for a restoration company where emotionally charged situations often produce complaints. Only one review falls below 5 stars, and it contains no text.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Elgin, Oklahoma. Primary service cities include Lawton, Oklahoma City, Duncan, Chickasha, and Altus. The company describes their serviceable area as the I-44/I-35/I-40 Southwest Corridor. They claim to serve all of Oklahoma, but their physical presence and most reviews are concentrated in the southwest and central parts of the state.
Review consensus
Clayton Hutson gets the most mentions by far — reviewers describe him showing up personally on evenings and weekends, walking homeowners through each step, and handling insurance communication. Josh draws praise for insurance knowledge and honest recommendations. Micah is mentioned alongside Josh for going above and beyond. Reviewers repeatedly highlight same-day or next-day response, clear communication about timelines and process, and willingness to work directly with insurance adjusters. Several reviewers specifically chose Dri Right after interviewing other companies and finding them more direct.
1 found across 42 total reviews at 4.9★. The single 1-star review from L F contains no text at all. The owner responded saying they could not find the reviewer in their records. L F is a Local Guide with 45 reviews, so the account is established, but with zero likes on this review and no description of what went wrong, there is nothing actionable here.
This is a small-town restoration company where the owner personally shows up on jobs. That creates a specific dynamic: the people praising Clayton, Josh, and Micah are naming the entire core team, not one standout in a large operation. The consistent praise for communication and insurance help suggests the ownership team's background in insurance claims is a genuine differentiator, not just marketing copy. The owner responded to the one negative review with a factual note rather than a template apology.
Clayton Hutson (owner — praised across many reviews for personal involvement, weekend availability, and walking customers through the process). Josh (team member — praised for insurance experience, honesty, and helpfulness). Micah (team member — praised alongside Josh for going above and beyond with honest recommendations).
With 41 of 42 reviews at 5 stars and the sole negative containing no text, there is not enough complaint data to identify any risk pattern. Ask for Clayton, Josh, or Micah by name. If your job is large enough to involve subcontractors, ask up front which portions will be handled by Dri Right's own crew and which will be farmed out.
Keep in mind
- Dri Right does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company identifying the problem also profits from fixing it. Ask whether they use a separate, independent inspector for initial testing or only for post-clearance.
- They claim to serve "all of the state of Oklahoma" from their Elgin base. That is a huge geographic area. If you are outside the Lawton-OKC-Duncan-Chickasha corridor, confirm response times and whether your job would get the same crew or a subcontractor.
- One reviewer (Bob Jr Opdyke) praised Dri Right but noted that some of their subcontractors were not as good. Ask whether your specific job will use in-house crews or outside contractors.
- With only 42 reviews over roughly 7 years, review volume is modest. The rating is strong but the sample is small enough that a few bad experiences could shift it meaningfully.
