Editorial Review
Our Take on Cleaning & Restoration Specialist, Inc.
A long-running, family-owned San Antonio restorer with its own building, real equipment and Texas mold licences. Use a separate licensed mold assessor if CRS is doing the remediation.

Company Background
About Cleaning & Restoration Specialist, Inc.
Cleaning & Restoration Specialist, Inc. has been cleaning up after floods and fires in San Antonio since 1989, which makes it the longest-running local firm on this list. It is family owned by Tom and Yolanda, and it works from its own storefront building at 4243 GateCrest on the northeast side near Wurzbach Parkway. Its photos show the building with a lettered company pickup out front, a box truck stocked with equipment, and a warehouse lined with air movers and dehumidifiers.
Services include water extraction and drying, sewage backup cleanup, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation and the repairs that follow. The site lists Texas mold remediation licence MRC1903 and mold assessment licence MAC1972, IICRC certification and BBB A+ standing, and promises free inspections and estimates, work with all insurers and a 45 minute arrival around the clock.
Cleaning & Restoration Specialist holds a 4.9 rating from 106 Google reviews, read 2026-11-11. One reviewer described a smoke-damaged home gutted to the studs with no odor left when CRS finished. Another credited the team with walking her through extensive mold remediation at her mother's house, and a third picked CRS over two other bids after a sewer pipe leak. Several reviewers say the owners stood up for them with the insurance company.
It suits homeowners who want an established local firm where the owners still answer the phone. It suits less well if you need a very large commercial crew. Before booking, remember that Texas does not let the same company assess and remediate mold on one project, so if CRS remediates, use an independent licensed assessor, and check MRC1903 on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation search.
