About this company
Restore It is an owner-operated restoration company based in Freedom, Pennsylvania, serving the northern Pittsburgh suburbs including Cranberry Township, Wexford, Sewickley, and the North Hills. Owner William Voloch (Wil) has run the business since 1980, and he still handles estimates and project management personally. The company started as a carpet cleaning operation and expanded into water damage restoration and mold remediation over the decades.
On the equipment side, they run truck-mounted extraction units, commercial dehumidifiers that pull up to 152 pints per day, air movers for drying wall cavities and subfloors, and air scrubbers with HEPA filtration. Their technicians hold IICRC certification. They also do drywall repair and construction restoration in-house, which means they can take a water damage job from extraction through rebuild without subcontracting.
Voloch holds PA Contractor License #PA006701 and has built the business largely on referrals from insurance agents, adjusters, and realtors. The company handles both residential and commercial work and offers 24-hour emergency water damage service.

0 found across 67 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With 67 total reviews at a 5.0 rating, there are no complaints to analyze.
A 5.0 rating across 67 reviews over nearly a decade is unusual. The review base includes multiple Local Guide accounts and repeat customers (Darin Vilano used them twice for different incidents), which suggests the rating reflects genuine consistency rather than selective review solicitation. Several reviewers mention finding Restore It after other contractors failed to follow through, which points to a referral-driven business that picks up work competitors drop.
Wil/Will/Bill Voloch (owner — praised across dozens of reviews for responsiveness, honesty, and hands-on involvement). Scott (technician/drywall — praised for craftsmanship and punctuality). Colleen (office/scheduling — praised for politeness and flexibility). Gary (extraction technician — praised for speed and competence). Dutch (mentioned once for reliability and keeping commitments). Russ (mentioned once as part of crew, praised for professionalism).
With no negative reviews to flag, the main thing to watch for is the testing-and-remediation conflict of interest. Ask Wil directly whether he recommends an independent post-remediation test. If you are dealing with a water emergency in the northern Pittsburgh suburbs, this is a small crew where the owner answers the phone and shows up to your house, which is hard to find at any price point.
Keep in mind
- Restore It offers both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company diagnosing your mold problem would profit from the remediation work. Ask whether they will accept a post-remediation clearance test from an independent inspector.
- The website lists mold testing options but does not clarify whether they use an independent lab or whether their testing staff is separate from their remediation crew.
- Their listed service area covers a broad stretch of northern Pittsburgh suburbs. Confirm they will service your specific location before scheduling, especially if you are outside the Cranberry Township core area.
- The company originated as a carpet cleaning business. If your project is strictly mold with no water damage or carpet component, ask about their mold-specific experience and credentials for your situation.
