About this company
Raabe Restoration is a locally owned restoration company based in Tyrone, PA, built around a single workflow: find the water problem, remove the mold, and rebuild what got torn out. They handle basement flooding, crawlspace moisture, mold remediation, and the drywall/insulation/trim restoration that follows — all under one roof. They hold PA Home Improvement Contractor license #PA187858.
The standout here is crawlspace encapsulation paired with mold remediation. Their mold process moves through containment, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatment, and moisture correction recommendations. They also offer mold testing as a separate paid service. Their restoration page notes they occasionally accept standalone remodeling projects at their discretion, but the core business is remediation-to-rebuild.
They serve homeowners within 50 miles of Tyrone, covering State College, Altoona, Huntingdon, Bellefonte, and Hollidaysburg. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 7pm.

Review consensus
Kyle Raabe is named in nearly every review and draws consistent praise for responsiveness, clear communication, and fair pricing. Reviewers highlight that he explains what needs to be done upfront and keeps homeowners informed throughout the project. Jesse is named once as someone reviewers felt comfortable having in their home. Multiple reviewers mention the team going beyond the original scope — discovering additional issues and addressing them. Several reviewers specifically called out the crawlspace and basement work as transformative, with before-and-after results that exceeded expectations.
0 found across 24 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews in the last 18 months. With 24 total reviews at a 5.0 rating, there is no complaint data to analyze.
Every review names Kyle directly, which suggests he's personally involved in most or all jobs. That's a strength at this volume, but it raises a question about scalability — if the company grows, the hands-on owner experience that defines these reviews may not hold.
Kyle Raabe (owner/operator — consistently praised for communication, transparency, fair pricing, and hands-on involvement across nearly every review). Jesse (crew member — praised for professionalism by Linda Volpe).
Ask for Kyle by name — he's the reason this company has the reviews it does. Given the small review count and perfect score, you're likely getting the owner-operated experience every reviewer describes. Get your mold testing done independently to avoid the conflict of interest, then bring Raabe in for the remediation and rebuild.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That's a conflict of interest — the company deciding you have a mold problem is the same one billing to fix it. Consider getting an independent test first.
- With only 24 reviews and a perfect 5.0 rating, this is a small operation. There's limited data to assess how they handle things when something goes wrong.
- Their service area claim of 50 miles from Tyrone is broad for a small crew. If you're on the outer edge near Huntingdon or beyond, confirm availability and whether travel adds to the cost.
- They list hours as Monday through Friday only. No mention of emergency or weekend response for urgent water damage situations.
