52reviews from finished jobs
One project manager writes your scope, runs the job and answers the phone while it is running. The same person, from the first walkthrough to the last.
Most people here have been patched once already
The common story is a wall that was opened, treated and closed, and then the same stain came back a season later. That happens when the rebuild went over a moisture source nobody had found. So this job starts with the water, not the drywall.
- It came backThe same wall, ceiling or corner has been repaired before and has changed again.
- An open cavityDrywall cut away after remediation, with framing and insulation exposed and waiting.
- No clear causeNobody has yet told you where the water was actually coming from.
From the source out
Tracing the moisture source and putting it right first, then framing repairs where members stayed wet, insulation, drywall, texture and paint, trim, flooring, and any cabinetry or fixtures that had to come out to reach it. Where the source sits behind plumbing or the exterior envelope, that repair belongs in the scope rather than under the new wall.
Three ways this job is scoped
The rebuild is the easy half. The water is the job.
Which of these you need depends entirely on whether anyone has found the moisture source yet, and that is the first thing we look for.
Which one you are looking atWhen and how
Rebuild after a signed-off remediation
When it is the right call. Choose it when remediation is finished, the source was found and fixed, and the cavity is open and waiting.
How it runs. Framing repairs where members stayed wet, insulation, drywall, texture, trim and flooring, matched into the rooms around them.
Find the source first, then rebuild
When it is the right call. Choose it when nobody has told you where the water was coming from, which is the most common way this page gets read.
How it runs. We trace the moisture before anything is priced. If the repair belongs to a plumber or a roofer we say so, and it goes in the scope rather than under the new wall.
Rebuild a repair that failed
When it is the right call. Choose it when the same wall has been opened and closed before and the stain or the smell has returned.
How it runs. We start at the previous repair, because a failure tells us more about where the water is than an intact wall does. Tell us roughly when it was done and what was replaced.
The scope is what you hold us to
The source repair, what is coming out and why, what goes back, and the photographs behind all of it.
Remediation, the removal work itself, is a different trade with its own licence. We rebuild, and we say which is which.
The decisions that change the result
- Where the water came from
- A wall rebuilt over a live moisture source comes apart again, usually within a year, and the second repair costs more than the first. This is the one decision everything else hangs on.
- How much has to come out
- Over-demolition is a real complaint in this trade. We walk the line with you before opening anything further, and where we are not certain yet, we say that instead of guessing wide.
- What goes back in a wet location
- A cavity that was damp once is a cavity worth rebuilding in material suited to it. That is a scope decision and it belongs in writing, not in a conversation on site.
- Who signs off before it closes
- If a clearance or a third-party check is part of your arrangement, the close-up waits for it. We do not issue that clearance ourselves and we do not close ahead of it.

Four stages
How a mold rebuild runs
Four stages, and the first one is about water.
-
We find the water first
Before anything is priced, we work out where the moisture was coming from and whether it has stopped.
You get a straight answer on the source
-
You get the scope in writing
A line-by-line repair scope and the photographs, including the source repair.
The source repair is a line, not an assumption
-
One project manager
The same person who wrote the scope runs the job and answers the phone while it is running.
One name and one number throughout
-
We close it and walk it
Nothing closes up until you have seen behind it, and we walk the finished rooms together.
You sign off room by room
Start with the walkthrough That first stage starts here. Send us the ZIP and what is open, and we will come and read the job.
What it depends on
What moves the price of a mold rebuild
A lot of this work is paid directly rather than on a claim, so it is worth knowing exactly which parts of it carry the cost.
Where the number comes from
- Whether the moisture source has been found, and which trade the repair belongs to.
- How much material has to come out to reach it, and how much of that is structural.
- Whether the location calls for material chosen for damp rather than like-for-like.
- How far the finish has to be carried so the repair does not read as a patch.
- Whether a clearance or third-party check has to happen before close-up.
We price the scope the same way whether or not there is a claim behind it.

A flooded townhouse, rebuilt in three months

Noam and his crew turned a flooding nightmare into a dream kitchen. When my townhouse bathroom flooded this summer, taking out the bathroom, the kitchen, dining room, AND the basement laundry, I had to make some quick decisions about all of those rooms and get it done in about 3 months. You know what's not fun? Emergency remodeling where you have to decide what you want in a couple of days for what you're going to have to live with for years. Noam's taste is impeccable and has great attention to detail: he will call to double check about what you want, give you options and the whys for each one. He and his crew were always prompt, courteous, and patient with explanations. I highly recommend.

Dave arrived immediately after our phone call. He gave a thorough explanation of the issue of the mold, checked around my house. He was very polite, soft spoken and directive as well as very professional over the phone and in person. His demeanor is pleasant and not-pushy like many I've came across dealing with construction Companies to assist with my homes issues. Thank you Dave.

If I could give this company 6 stars I would, they saved the day from day 1 and continued to save the day throughout our water evac, demo, reno, and a pandemic! Soly especially was our saving grace, providing excellent service, advice, marital counseling (lol) you name it! And on top of all that they did incredible work, listened to us, kept us on schedule. Everything you could ask for, they delivered!

Excellent work by this reconstruction/construction Company. We had white glove service by Idan!! He answers the phone when you call and discuss any concerns big and small. The estimate was close to the amount we paid at the finish of the job. The choice of tiles, backsplash, flooring and paint was nicely picked out for our kitchen and 2 bathrooms. We wanted to cut cost on certain things and he helped give us the best for the money. We had no complaints through the entire process and are highly recommending this business.

We contacted Green Planet Restoration after our home was broken into. The intruder shattered a window, hid in our gym room, and left blood on our equipment and belongings. It was late at night on a weekend, and after calling several other companies with no response, Green Planet was available and came out promptly. The representative and employees were very pleasant and professional. There was a discrepancy regarding the billing; however, they were very responsive and eager to help me understand the charges and resolve the issue. I truly appreciated their willingness to address my concerns. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of biohazard cleanup services.

We had a major flood in our downstairs and it took our house to the studs in several areas. I have a baby and a toddler and was so overwhelmed. Green Planet came out the same night the leak happened and from there they've held my hand through this entire (several Month) process. They've handled everything to help me with the insurance claim (huge relief), and while it's been a long process we've have SUCH a great Project Managers (Ezequiel and Shauloi) who has set clear expectations and checks in with me multiple times a week. We aren't quite finished yet but almost there and this whole process has been a lot! Green Planet has done an amazing job with communication as well as quality of work. Couldn't be happier with their help!

Mitigation and rebuild under one company
Green Planet did an amazing job, and contributed significantly to making a very trying situation easier on me and my family. After waking up to extensive water damage caused by the condo above us...
Green Planet did an amazing job, and contributed significantly to making a very trying situation easier on me and my family. After waking up to extensive water damage caused by the condo above us and a ruptured toilet, Green Planet was on the scene within hours. Denny and his team immediate began the drying process, packed out our possessions into storage, and scheduled waterlogged sections of our home for demolition. Once demolition was finished (on time!), Dekel and his crew took over for the rebuild. From working directly with insurance, helping us choose new flooring, tile, and paint colors and materials, fixing small details we pointed out, and dealing with the inevitable bumps in the road, Dekel's team made our condo look like new again. In all, the job was done well, smoothly, and as on time as can be expected when dealing with insurance companies. Having one company to work with from initial response to finished remodel was fantastic, and their staff were always very responsive to our questions and concerns. While we hope we never need Green Planet's emergency services again, they were a pleasure to work with.

Demo to touch-ups in about two weeks

I can't tell you how happy I am with my brand new kitchen. I was able to get everything that I wanted within a short period of time. From the day they started demolishing and repairing, installing and measuring, and painting and doing touchups, it took about two weeks. Dekel and his team were very sweet and accommodating to my needs. No one likes to drive out to my neck of the woods for repairs, but all of the guys always showed up to my house right on time and never complained about anything extra I requested for them to do. They actually did a lot more touchups than I expected them to and I was very pleased with their attention to detail. Dekel always answered my calls and calmed my nerves whenever I felt nervous about something, or other. This is actually the second time we've had to use this company for repairs in my home since there was not one, but two major leaks that occurred over the past year, and we had to file claims through our home insurance company. Along with the new upgrades and repairs, my husband and I decided to get all brand new appliances and that has made a huge difference, not only to how everything looks in the kitchen, but to how we were preparing food previously. Just know that you and your home are in good hands and you can trust the workers to do their job right, and thoroughly the first time. By the way, there is a woman by the name of Linor, on this team of contractors and she is the one who did all of the measurements for the cabinets in our kitchen. She is a very firm and precise business woman, who definitely made sure that our cabinets were done right. She uses a magical laser that takes precise measurements of the cabinets needed for your space and I still don't know how she did it, but everything came out to an exact matching point! Top notch.

Where else to look
The overview, plus water damage and fire and smoke. Same crew, same written scope.
Before you hire anyone
Mold rebuild questions
The work Why start with the water instead of the wall?
Because a wall rebuilt over a live moisture source comes apart again, usually within a year, and the second repair costs more than the first. Before we price anything we work out where the water was coming from and whether it has actually stopped. If that repair belongs to a plumber or a roofer we will tell you that plainly.
Scope Do you do the remediation as well?
This page is the rebuild that follows remediation: the wall, the floor, the framing and the finishes. Where remediation still needs doing we will say so and tell you what has to happen before we can start putting anything back. Removing or killing the mold itself is the job of the remediation contractor, and we keep the two separate so you know who is responsible for what.
Money My insurance will not cover it. Does that change anything?
It changes the conversation, not the work. Plenty of mold jobs are paid for directly because the policy treats the damage as too far downstream of the original leak. We price the scope the same way either way, and we will tell you where the money is actually going so you can decide what to do first.
Money How much can you ask me for up front?
No more than $1,000 or ten percent of the contract price, whichever is the smaller number. That is California Business and Professions Code 7159.5, it binds every licensed contractor in the state, and the contract must say so in bold type. It matters more here, because a lot of these jobs are paid privately.
The work How much of the wall has to come out?
As little as will let us reach the source and rebuild sound material onto sound material. Over-demolition is a real complaint in this trade, so we walk the line with you before opening anything further, and the scope says what is coming out and why. Where we are not sure yet, we say that instead of guessing wide.
The work It was repaired once and came back. Will you look at that?
Yes, and it is the most useful thing you can tell us. A repair that failed says something about where the water is that an intact wall does not. Tell us roughly when it was done and what was replaced, and we will start there rather than treating it as a fresh job.
Scope Can you tell me whether it is dangerous?
No, and anyone rebuilding your wall should not be the one telling you that either. Testing and clearance are a separate discipline with their own licence. We rebuild, we say what we can see, and we leave that question to the people qualified to answer it.
Coverage Where in Los Angeles County do you rebuild?
Across the San Fernando Valley, the Pasadena and Glendale side, Long Beach, and the communities between them. The cities on this page are examples rather than a boundary. Put the property ZIP in with your request and we will tell you plainly whether we cover it.
