About this company

Innovative Restorations (doing business as Innovative Home Services) is a Knoxville-based restoration and remodeling company that also handles mold testing, mold remediation, and crawl space work. They operate out of three Tennessee offices: Crossville (headquarters since 2005), Knoxville, and Nashville. Mold work is one piece of a much broader business that includes bathroom remodeling, plumbing, water damage restoration, fire damage cleanup, and biohazard services.

Nothing about their mold approach stands out as unusual. They test and remediate in-house, collect air and surface samples, and send them to a lab. Their website describes a standard inspect-clean-prevent workflow. They use Bioesque as their disinfectant product and offer crawl space encapsulation with dehumidification to prevent mold recurrence. They hold IICRC and EPA certifications and carry BBB accreditation with an A+ rating.

The company started in 2005, making it roughly 21 years old. They describe themselves as family-owned. They offer a set of six written guarantees covering technician behavior, workspace cleanliness, price matching, workmanship, and a first-night hotel stay if the home becomes uninhabitable during work.

Bottom line

The review record is strong but almost entirely about bathroom remodeling and crawl space work, not mold remediation. If you hire for mold work, ask specifically who will be on the crew and whether they hold the IICRC Applied Microbial Remediation credential the company's own FAQ mentions. Request a third-party clearance test after remediation.

Keep in mind

  • They do both mold testing and mold remediation. The same company that tells you whether you have a problem also sells the fix. Ask for a third-party post-remediation clearance test, which their own FAQ recommends.
  • Mold is a small part of their business. Most of their reviews and website content focus on bathroom remodeling and general restoration. You may not get a mold-focused crew.
  • They claim a service area spanning Knoxville to Nashville with only three offices. Confirm response time and availability for your specific location before booking.
  • With only 27 Google reviews at the Knoxville location, there is limited public feedback to evaluate consistency.
