About this company

Paul Davis Restoration of Utah runs its Lindon office out of 806 N 2800 W, covering Utah County, Tooele County, and the Wasatch Back. This is a franchise location within the Paul Davis national network, which has operated since 1966 and now includes over 300 independently owned offices across the US and Canada. Mold is one service among many here; the bulk of their work is water damage and fire restoration.

The Lindon office handles both testing and remediation for mold, and they do the full cycle: assessment, containment, removal, antimicrobial treatment, and reconstruction. Their website mentions IICRC-certified technicians and equipment including dehumidifiers, water extractors, and air movers. They also do content restoration, meaning they will pack out, clean, and return belongings after a fire or flood. Their case studies show large-scale commercial jobs like school flooding and farm fires, which suggests capacity for bigger projects.

This franchise is part of a broader Paul Davis of Utah operation with four offices statewide: Centerville (main office), Logan, Lindon, and St. George. Brandon Cox is identified as the owner in several review responses. The company claims a 30-minute response window and 24/7 availability.

The 4.3-star rating across 268 reviews is below average for a restoration company of this size. The positive reviews are genuinely enthusiastic, but the negatives cluster around the same issue: communication drops off after the initial response.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Tim draws the most mentions by far. Reviewers credit him with clear communication, fast coordination with insurance, and quality flooring and reconstruction work. Kellen gets praise for keeping projects moving and communicating well. Brandon (the owner) is named for patience, fair pricing, and straightforward communication on a complex multi-year lawsuit recovery. Brady from the Ogden office is noted for strong communication on a tight-deadline restoration. Billy and Tumee are praised for drywall and painting work. Multiple reviewers highlight fast initial response, often same-day, and the company's willingness to work directly with insurance adjusters. Content restoration after fires draws specific praise, with one reviewer calling the contents team handling of belongings from underwear to oil paintings irreplaceable.

What low reviews reveal

7 found across 268 total reviews at 4.3★. Communication failure is the dominant theme. Brookie Laub waited a week and a half with no contact, then three more days for a callback that ended abruptly. The owner response explained insurance and lab delays but acknowledged they should have communicated during the wait. Daniel Valladolid describes too many people involved without clear responsibilities and calls that are never returned; the owner response was a template directing him to call the office. Erika Richards wrote the most detailed complaint: as a nursing mother with two young children, she received little notice before crews arrived, went days without updates, and says the project manager did not read the contract. She describes a broken bathroom valve left leaking, damaged furniture never disclosed, and an unlevel floor the company refused to fix. The owner response disputes several claims and notes that issues were addressed, but acknowledges ending the project by mutual agreement. Dan Geller had a hole in his ceiling for three weeks with no contact about repairs despite repeated calls; the owner (Brandon) acknowledged the lapse. Amy Christensen alleges framing was built over unremediated fire damage and that a work authorization was backdated. Matthew Miller, a Local Guide with 14 reviews, describes crews randomly showing up and being asked to sign a blank payment authorization. Cheryl Wood reports late arrivals and poor call returns; the owner response notes they could not find prior contact attempts and that the review was meant to prompt a callback.

Pattern worth noting

The disconnect between praise and complaints maps to a structural split common in restoration franchises: the front-end response (showing up fast, starting mitigation) works well, but the back-end project management (scheduling reconstruction, communicating timelines, following through on commitments) breaks down. Tim stands out as the exception, drawing repeat praise precisely because he maintains communication through the entire project. Owner responses vary in quality: Brandon signs some with specific context and accountability, while others are templates directing customers to call the office number without engaging with the complaint specifics.

Named staff

Tim (project manager / reconstruction coordinator — strongly positive, named in 8+ reviews for communication, responsiveness, and quality work). Brandon Cox (owner — positive in reviews, signs some owner responses with specific accountability). Kellen (project coordinator — positive, praised for keeping projects moving). Brady (Ogden office — positive, praised for communication on time-sensitive restoration). Billy (drywall/painting — positive). Tumee (drywall/painting — positive). Carsen (contents/smoke damage — positive). Alan (reconstruction — positive, mentioned in a 3-star review for doing good work). Dave (crew member — positive, praised for detailed explanations of the process). Curtis (crew member — positive, praised for explaining process and options). Josh (sales/intake — negative, mentioned in Amy Christensen's complaint about a disputed authorization document).

Bottom line

Ask for Tim as your project manager if he is available. His track record in reviews is consistently strong on the exact thing this company struggles with: keeping customers informed throughout the project. Get a written timeline with a finish date, a named point of contact, and a communication cadence before signing anything. If your insurance company assigned Paul Davis, you still have the right to choose a different contractor.

Keep in mind

  • Paul Davis does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a financial incentive to find problems they can bill to fix. Consider getting an independent mold test before authorizing remediation work.
  • Communication breakdowns are the most frequent complaint in recent reviews. Multiple customers report going days or weeks without updates after the initial visit. Ask for a named project manager and a written communication schedule before work begins.
  • Several reviewers report crews showing up late or with little notice, sometimes past 8 PM. If you need predictable scheduling, confirm arrival windows in writing.
  • The Lindon office is one of four Paul Davis of Utah locations. Make sure you know which office and which project manager will handle your job, since internal handoffs between offices can create confusion.
  • Some negative reviewers describe disputes over what was authorized in contracts versus what work was performed. Read every document carefully before signing, and clarify whether you are authorizing mitigation only or a full rebuild.
