What this listing says
Northern Virginia homeowners who need mold removed alongside basement waterproofing, foundation repair, or other structural work from a single general contractor.
Best for
- Northern Virginia homeowners who discover mold during a basement waterproofing or foundation repair project and want one contractor to handle both.
- Buyers who need structural work -- retaining walls, egress windows, crawl space encapsulation -- and want mold addressed as part of a larger scope.
- Real estate agents needing pre-sale mold remediation bundled with home inspection report repairs.
- Homeowners in Great Falls, Fairfax, Arlington, or Loudoun counties who prefer a local, family-run general contractor over a national franchise.
About this company
Fairfax Contractor is a general contractor headquartered in Great Falls, Virginia, not a dedicated mold company. Mold remediation is one of dozens of services they offer, alongside basement remodeling, foundation repair, waterproofing, masonry, roofing, patios, and wrought iron fabrication. They hold a Virginia Class A contractor's license with both residential and commercial endorsements.
On their mold page, they describe using plastic zip walls to isolate affected areas, dehumidifiers to control moisture, and an EPA-approved biocide. They emphasize finding the water source before starting remediation. Nothing on their site suggests specialized mold testing equipment or third-party lab work -- they offer mold testing themselves but provide no detail on methodology.
Kyle Foley owns and operates the company, the second generation of the Foley family to run it. He took over in 2013. The company claims over 50 years of combined experience and lists named staff including project managers Ryan Foley and Marc Mathews, senior superintendent Casey, and office manager Milene Quinones. The firm operates from 651 River Bend Road in Great Falls.
At 4.5 stars across 122 Google reviews, the company earns solid marks. Most reviews focus on masonry, patios, foundation work, and basement projects rather than mold remediation specifically.

1 found across 122 total reviews at 4.5★. Connor Roman (October 2025, Local Guide, 12 reviews) requested a patio consultation. John K visited, was knowledgeable during the meeting, then promised a design and estimate by end of week. Two months later, after repeated follow-ups by email and phone, Connor received no response. The main office told him to contact John again rather than resolving the issue. Connor noted he had been considering multiple jobs. The owner did not respond to this review.
The single negative stands out against a strong body of positive reviews, but the owner's zero-percent response rate on recent negative reviews means there is no public record of the company addressing the complaint. The positive reviews skew heavily toward masonry, concrete, and outdoor construction. No reviews in the packet mention mold remediation work specifically, making it difficult to assess the quality of that particular service.
Casey Foster (senior superintendent -- praised repeatedly for communication, updates with photos/video, problem-solving).

Ask for Casey Foster or Ryan Foley if you book mold or waterproofing work -- they have the strongest track records for communication. Get your initial mold test from an independent inspector, not from Fairfax Contractor, since they do both testing and remediation. Confirm in writing who your point of contact will be and a timeline for estimates, given the one case of a client being ignored after a consultation.
Keep in mind
- Fairfax Contractor does both mold testing and mold remediation. This is a conflict of interest: the same company that tells you mold exists also profits from removing it. Get an independent mold test before signing a remediation contract.
- Mold work is a small fraction of what this company does. Most of their 122 Google reviews cover masonry, patios, and construction -- not mold. You cannot gauge their mold remediation quality from their review profile.
- Their website provides no detail on mold testing methodology, lab partnerships, or post-remediation clearance testing. Ask specifically what their testing involves before booking.
- One recent reviewer reported being completely ghosted for two months after a consultation, with no response from the main office either. The owner did not respond to that review.
