About this company
FDP Mold Remediation operates out of Arlington, VA as part of a multi-state franchise spanning DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Florida, and Texas. The Arlington location dispatches from N Quincy St (22203) and serves neighborhoods like Bellevue Forest, Broyhill Forest, Old Glebe, Rivercrest, and Woodmont. They handle both residential and commercial work.
They run the full pipeline in-house: inspection, testing, containment with negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, removal, antimicrobial treatment, and drywall reconstruction by their own contractors. Their website describes using biodegradable treatment agents and following a green policy. They quote remediation at $500 to $3,500 for typical jobs and charge up to $149 for an on-site inspection, which they credit toward remediation if you hire them.
FDP Mold Remediation is a subsidiary of Green Cleaning Systems, Inc., with a copyright dating back to 2005. The company holds IICRC certifications in mold remediation, water damage restoration, and applied structural drying. They staff Applied Microbial Remediation Specialists and operate seven days a week with 24/7 emergency availability.
4.9 stars across 53 Google reviews is unusually strong. The review volume is moderate, but the consistency is notable: only one review below 4 stars in the last 18 months, and that one had no text. Reviewers consistently name individual technicians and describe specific actions rather than offering generic praise.

Review consensus
Alex is the most frequently named technician, appearing in roughly a dozen reviews spanning 2023 through 2026. Reviewers call him punctual, knowledgeable, and communicative. Jay Gramolini (Local Guide, 11 reviews) praised Alex specifically for encapsulation work done with attention to cross-contamination control. Abraham (also called Abe) draws praise for speed and diagnostic accuracy, with Joe Smith noting a full removal completed within one week. Albert (also called Allen) gets credit for walking customers through scope details, and lara kalwinski (Local Guide) described same-day Labor Day weekend service from Albert when other companies would not return calls. Jose Calderon and Jose are named in separate reviews for being polite, respectful of property, and knowledgeable. Chris D described a technician who arrived within 24 hours and honestly told the customer their wall discoloration was soot, not mold, rather than upselling a remediation job.
1 found across 53 total reviews at 4.9★. The single recent 1-star review from Neal Anderson contains no text at all. The owner responded asking the reviewer to reach out directly if something could have been done better. Without any description of what went wrong, this review provides no actionable information about the company's performance.
The review pattern suggests a franchise that has kept its Arlington technician roster fairly stable. Alex appears across three years of reviews doing the same type of work with consistent feedback. The 4-star reviews (Asia & Kaitlin, Kevin Rosendall) both mention communication gaps rather than quality problems, which points to an office-versus-field disconnect: the technicians get praised, but scheduling and expectation-setting from the office side occasionally fall short. The owner response on the single negative was personalized rather than a template, which is a positive signal given it was the only negative to respond to.
Alex (technician — consistently positive across ~12 reviews for punctuality, knowledge, and communication). Abraham/Abe (technician — positive for speed, diagnostics, and courtesy). Albert/Allen (technician — positive for detailed scope walkthroughs and same-day responsiveness). Jose/Jose Calderon (technician — positive for friendliness and professionalism). Sean (technician — positive for going above and beyond on identification). Alan (technician — positive for straight talk and trustworthiness). Ismael (technician — positive for promptness and being informative). Todd (technician — positive). TJ (technician — positive). Xavier (technician — positive for timeliness and respect for property). Elmer (technician — positive for efficiency and pleasantness).
Ask for Alex if you want the technician with the longest and most consistent track record at this location. If communication about what will happen to your walls and timeline matters to you, get that conversation in writing before work starts. The single text-free 1-star review does not reveal a pattern, but the 4-star reviews suggest you should pin down the office on scheduling details and reconstruction scope before the crew arrives.
Keep in mind
- FDP handles both testing and remediation. A company that finds mold and then sells you the cleanup has a financial incentive to find more. Consider getting an independent test from a separate inspector before committing to their remediation scope.
- This is a franchise operation with locations across eight states. Your experience depends heavily on which technician arrives. Ask who will be assigned and whether that person holds individual IICRC credentials.
- One reviewer (Asia & Kaitlin, 4 stars) noted the team left a hole in their wall without advance warning. Ask upfront what demolition is required and what the reconstruction timeline looks like.
- The $149 inspection fee is credited toward remediation only if you hire them. If you use the inspection but choose another contractor, you pay the full inspection cost.
- Their service area claims span from DC to Miami to Dallas. For the Arlington location, confirm your address falls within their actual dispatch zone before scheduling.
