About this company
FDP Mold Remediation of Reston operates out of Sunrise Valley Drive in Reston, VA, serving Fairfax County and the broader Northern Virginia area. They handle mold testing, remediation, and water damage restoration as a single vendor, and they rebuild affected areas using their own general contractors. The Reston office is one location within a multi-state franchise that also covers DC, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, South Florida, and Texas. FDP is a subsidiary of Green Cleaning Systems, Inc.
The company follows a documented 9-step remediation process that includes containment with polyethylene sheeting, negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, anti-fungal treatment, and drying with dehumidification. They distinguish between limited containment (under 100 sq ft) and full containment with airlock entry for larger jobs. Inspections cost up to $149, and they deduct that fee if you hire them for remediation.
FDP claims IICRC certification for both mold remediation and water damage restoration. Their website references Applied Structural Drying Technician and Applied Microbial Remediation Specialist credentials. The copyright dates back to 2005, putting them at roughly two decades of operation across all locations. The Reston office runs 7 days a week with 24-hour emergency response.
A perfect 5.0-star rating across 45 Google reviews is unusual for any service company. Every single review is 5 stars, with no negative reviews in the last 18 months. That track record stands out, though the relatively small review count means individual experiences carry more weight.

0 found across 45 total reviews at 5.0★. No 1-star reviews exist for this location. All 45 reviews are 5 stars. The only friction mentioned anywhere comes from Kevin Rosendall, who gave 5 stars but noted scheduling issues around the holidays that required more visits than expected.
Every review across the full history is 5 stars, which is statistically uncommon for a service company with 45 reviews. The review volume is modest enough that this could reflect a genuinely strong local crew, but buyers should note that franchise locations sometimes have different review profiles. Several no-text 5-star reviews come from accounts with zero or very few other reviews.

Keep in mind
- FDP does both testing and remediation. That means the same company telling you whether you have mold is also the one selling you the fix. Consider getting an independent test before or after their assessment.
- This is a multi-state franchise, not a single-location local shop. The Reston office shares branding, website content, and processes with locations in DC, Baltimore, New Jersey, New York, Miami, and Dallas. Your experience depends on the local crew.
- The $149 inspection fee is deducted from remediation costs only if you hire FDP for the work. If you use a different remediator, you pay the inspection fee outright.
- Reconstruction is done by their own general contractors. The website does not specify whether those contractors are in-house employees or subcontractors.
- Their website claims service across at least 8 states. For the Reston location, confirm they dispatch a local crew rather than traveling from another metro area.
