About this company
Catamount Restoration Services is a multi-trade restoration company based in Manchester Center, Vermont. They handle mold inspection, mold removal, water damage cleanup, fire restoration, and then do the rebuild and remodeling work in-house. That full-cycle model — from emergency pump-out to finished bathroom — is their main differentiator in southern Vermont.
On the mold side, they charge a $200 inspection fee that gets applied toward remediation if you hire them for the cleanup. Their website states they are IICRC trained in mold removal and use HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers during remediation. They also install dehumidification systems to address ongoing moisture. For water damage, they handle structural drying, burst pipes, flooded basements, and work directly with insurance companies on claims.
They also offer bathroom and kitchen remodeling, electrical and plumbing repairs, carpet cleaning, and dumpster rental. The remodeling work shows up in reviews — multiple customers hired them for mold or water damage and then had Catamount handle the reconstruction.

Service area

Review consensus
Ryan gets named for strong communication and quality mold work. Charles (also called Chuck) appears in multiple reviews as knowledgeable and honest, with one reviewer specifically noting he gave straightforward advice on a moisture issue without pushing services. Craig is mentioned alongside Charles and Ryan for responsive water leak work. Multiple reviewers highlight the company's speed — showing up quickly and completing jobs fast. The remodeling and build-back work also draws praise, including a Trex deck project noted for craftsmanship.
0 found across 15 total reviews at 4.3★. No 1-star reviews exist among 15 total reviews at 4.3 stars. The rating sits below 4.5, but there are no recent negative reviews to analyze. The gap between 4.3 stars and the absence of visible complaints likely reflects a few older moderate-rated reviews that fall outside the 18-month recency window.
The review pattern reflects a company that does bundled work — customers come in for mold or water damage and stay for the remodel. Several positive reviews mention multiple services (water leak repair plus mold removal plus ceiling rebuild, or mold cleanup plus basement renovation). This creates loyalty but also makes it harder to evaluate their mold-specific competence separately from their general contracting skills.
Ryan (technician/project manager — praised for communication and quality mold work). Charles/Chuck (owner — praised across multiple reviews as knowledgeable, honest, and caring). Craig (crew member — praised for responsiveness on water leak repair).
With no recent negative reviews and consistent praise for responsiveness and bundled service, Catamount looks solid for southern Vermont homeowners who want one company to handle everything. Ask for Ryan if your project involves mold. Get an independent mold inspection before committing to their remediation work, since they do both testing and removal.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold inspection and mold removal, which is a conflict of interest. The company that finds the mold also profits from removing it. Consider getting an independent inspection before committing to their remediation.
- Their service area lists 40+ towns across southern Vermont, from Rutland to Brattleboro to Bennington. That is a wide territory for one company — confirm availability and response time for your specific town.
- The $200 inspection fee is credited toward remediation only if you hire them. If you use a different remediator, that cost is not refundable.
