About this company

SERVPRO of West El Paso is a nationally franchised restoration company based at 4584 Ripley Dr in El Paso. Mold is one piece of a much broader operation: water damage, fire damage, storm cleanup, construction, biohazard, and commercial services all fall under the same roof. They handle both mold testing and remediation, which means the same company that tells you whether you have a problem also sells you the fix.

Their mold page describes a seven-step process: inspection, containment, air filtration with HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatment, removal of contaminated materials like drywall and carpet, cleaning of structural elements and HVAC systems, and reconstruction. They also offer contents packout and storage at a separate facility for belongings affected by mold. One review specifically mentions SERVPRO restoring mold-damaged antiques and clothing from an overseas military move.

Four owners run this franchise: William R. Love Jr., Taylor R. Rosson, Jim A. Metteauer, and Zachary R. Broome. The SERVPRO brand dates to 1967. The local franchise maintains IICRC-industry certification and runs 24/7 emergency response. Multiple reviews confirm they travel to Las Cruces, New Mexico for jobs.

At 4.7 stars across 281 Google reviews, the rating is solid but not exceptional. The volume is high for an El Paso restoration company, and the overwhelming majority of reviews are 5-star with named crew members.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Carlos Jimenez is the most frequently named crew chief across the review set, appearing in roughly a third of detailed positive reviews. Reviewers consistently praise his communication, speed, and attentiveness. Cristina Alarcon and Joshua Esquivel are the next most-mentioned crew chiefs, both praised for explaining the process step by step. Armando Nevarez draws repeat praise as a demolition technician. Chad, Bobby, Jackie Ibarra, and Lance Tomasavih all receive individual shoutouts for courtesy and professionalism. Multiple reviewers highlight the team's willingness to answer questions, show up on time, and coordinate directly with insurance companies. One reviewer noted Carlos Jimenez came out on Thanksgiving Day to check on progress.

What low reviews reveal

3 found across 281 total reviews at 4.7★. All three recent negative reviews are 1-star. Luis Zuniga posted twice (April 14 and 15, 2025) about an item that went missing during work in his home. He says management denied responsibility and did nothing to resolve it. The owner responded that multiple vendors were working in the home simultaneously and that long-standing employees were investigated with no evidence of involvement. The disagreement remains unresolved. Patricia Franco (July 2025) reported that the crew did not check the crawl space and a technician refused to drill to check for moisture, and that inaccurate information was sent to the insurance company. The owner's response to Patricia was a canned positive thank-you that did not acknowledge or address any of her specific complaints.

Pattern worth noting

Owner responses show a split pattern. The response to Luis Zuniga's second review was personalized and addressed the specifics of his complaint directly. But the response to Patricia Franco was a generic positive template that reads as if it was auto-generated for a 5-star review, not a 1-star complaint. This inconsistency suggests the response process is sometimes managed at scale without someone reading the actual review. Luis Zuniga is a duplicate reviewer (two reviews within one day on the same issue), which inflates the apparent negative count slightly.

Named staff

Carlos Jimenez (crew chief — strong positive, most-mentioned employee). Cristina Alarcon (crew chief — positive, frequently praised for communication). Joshua Esquivel (crew chief — positive, praised for honesty and efficiency). Armando Nevarez (demolition technician — positive, repeatedly named). Jackie Ibarra / Jacqueline Ibarra (technician — positive). Chad (crew chief — positive, praised for communication). Bobby (manager — positive). Lance Tomasavih (technician — positive). Carlos Martinez (technician — positive). Julio Ortega (technician — positive). Danny / Daniel Rodriguez (technician — positive, praised for moving furniture and carpet removal). Monica (technician — positive). Jacob Banuelos (technician — positive). Sebastian Sarabia (technician — positive). Beatrice Munoz (staff — positive). Arnold (technician — positive). Joe Harrington (estimator — positive). John (management — positive). Mr. Trejo (staff — positive). Juan (technician — positive, mold-specific job). Christina (staff — mentioned in negative review as doing her best to explain the process).

Bottom line

Ask for Carlos Jimenez or Cristina Alarcon as your crew chief if mold work is the job. Before signing anything, get an independent mold assessment so you are not relying on the same company for both diagnosis and treatment. If valuables are in the work area, document and photograph everything before the crew arrives.

Keep in mind

  • They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That is a conflict of interest: the company deciding you have mold is the same company billing you to remove it. Get an independent mold test before committing to their remediation scope.
  • Two of the three recent negative reviews come from the same person (Luis Zuniga) who says an item went missing during restoration work. The owner responded that multiple vendors were on-site and found no evidence against their staff. The dispute is unresolved.
  • One reviewer (Patricia Franco) reported that SERVPRO did not check the crawl space and that a technician refused to drill to check for moisture. The owner's response to that review was a generic positive message that did not address the complaint at all.
  • This is a franchise operation with a large rotating crew. Your experience depends heavily on which crew chief and technicians are assigned. Ask who will lead your job.
  • Most reviews mention water damage, not mold specifically. Only one review explicitly describes mold remediation work. The vast majority of their volume is water damage restoration.
