About this company
Voda Cleaning & Restoration is a multi-service restoration and cleaning company headquartered in Lorton, Virginia, serving Northern Virginia, parts of Maryland, and Washington, DC. Their Google listing categorizes them as a water damage restoration service, but they run dedicated mold remediation pages for both residential and commercial properties. They also handle carpet cleaning, air duct cleaning, upholstery cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, hardwood floor cleaning, odor removal, fire and smoke damage, and storm damage. Their booking system still references their former name, DNA Pro Cleaning & Restoration.
On the mold side, their website describes IICRC-trained technicians who perform inspection, containment, removal, and restoration. They mention using air scrubbers and a mold testing device to detect hidden mold before starting remediation. They list attic mold removal as a specific service, targeting issues caused by poor ventilation, roof leaks, and trapped moisture. Their commercial mold page references industrial-grade removal equipment. The bulk of their review volume and day-to-day work appears to be carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and water damage mitigation rather than standalone mold jobs.
Voda operates as a multi-location brand. Owner Dragan Kostadinovic runs the Virginia/Maryland/DC location, who signs owner responses and left a review on his own business. One positive review from Michelle McFarland references "Voda of Lakeshore," suggesting separate franchise territories. The company claims over 10,000 five-star reviews across all locations, though this Google listing carries 1,807 reviews at a 5.0-star average.
A 5.0-star rating with 1,807 reviews is statistically remarkable. Very few companies maintain a perfect average at this volume. Only 7 reviews at 3 stars or below appeared in the last 18 months, and the owner responded to every one of them. Two of those negative reviews drew owner responses claiming the reviewer may have reviewed the wrong company.

Review consensus
Junior stands out across multiple reviews for mold remediation, water damage, and general restoration work. Brendan L specifically described Junior doing mold remediation in a storage room and going beyond the scope by cleaning rat droppings mixed with moisture and mold. Brent Baker praised Junior for being responsive, timely, and explaining each step during a stressful restoration situation. Edgar draws the most volume of praise, primarily for carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and outdoor furniture cleaning. Aaron Pratt gets named for carpet cleaning with attention to detail. Freddy M. is praised for carpet cleaning by Mike Murphy (a repeat customer). Kenneth and Jose are named together for air duct cleaning by multiple reviewers (Sharon Yuras, Lauren Hoffmann, Eilynn Quagliata). Jeffrey appears in water damage emergency responses. Jonathan and Jonathon (likely the same person) are praised for carpet cleaning and upholstery work. Derek and Harry get named for restoration work. Several reviewers mention same-day or next-day response for water emergencies, including a Memorial Day weekend call answered within 2.5 hours.
7 found across 1,807 total reviews at 5.0★. Two 1-star reviews appear in the last 18 months. Sandee Burkemper (May 2026) paid $265 for carpet cleaning in a studio condo and said the carpet looked worse after the service, with an extra charge to vacuum. The property management company agreed the carpet did not look cleaned. The owner (Mike) responded offering to reclean at no charge. Regina Dyer (December 2025) left a short review calling the company unprofessional with terrible communication. The owner's response explained the work was ordered by a property management company and all communication went through that management company as required. The 2-star reviews add more detail: Daniel Fishman (38 reviews, Local Guide) described paying over $400 for two pieces of furniture, found smudges and hair after cleaning, and noted upselling at every step. The owner clarified pricing was agreed before scheduling and offered a reclean plus partial reimbursement. The 4RUNNER 2019 review described a phone quote of $400 that jumped to $1,500 on site, and reported technician smoking and cigarette butts left inside the home. The owner responded that they have no female technicians and their technicians do not smoke, suggesting a wrong-company review. Kelly Bates (2 reviews) described a rude technician and no advance call; the owner said they have no record of this customer.
The owner responds to 100% of negative reviews, but the response style varies. Some are personalized and substantive (the Daniel Fishman response addressed each complaint point). Others question whether the reviewer has the right company (Kelly Bates, 4RUNNER 2019). Two of the seven recent negatives drew responses suggesting the review was posted to the wrong business. If legitimate, that means 5 actual complaints out of 1,807 reviews. If not, it is a pattern of deflection worth watching. The company's cleaning business generates the vast majority of reviews, while mold and restoration work appears less frequently in the review stream.

This is a high-volume cleaning and restoration company that also does mold work. If you need mold remediation, ask for Junior by name — he has the most specific mold-related praise. Get an independent mold test before agreeing to their remediation scope. Pin down a written quote before the technician arrives, since the most detailed negative reviews describe prices climbing on site. The 5.0 average across 1,807 reviews is genuinely strong, but confirm that the crew assigned to your mold job has done mold work before, not just carpet cleaning.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. The company detecting your mold problem is the same one billing to fix it. Get an independent mold assessment before committing to remediation work.
- Several negative reviews describe on-site quotes jumping well above what was quoted by phone. One reviewer reported a phone quote of $400 that became $1,500 in person. Ask for a written quote before the technician arrives and confirm that the phone price will hold.
- The company's primary business is carpet cleaning and water damage restoration. Mold remediation is one of many services. If your mold situation is complex, ask how many dedicated mold jobs they run per month and whether the assigned crew has specific mold remediation experience.
- Their service area spans from Leesburg and Sterling in the west to Bethesda and Rockville in Maryland to Washington, DC. That is a wide footprint. Confirm response time and which crew will handle your job for locations at the edges of this area.
- The owner left a 5-star review on his own business. This does not affect the overall rating meaningfully at 1,807 reviews, but it is worth noting as a transparency signal.
