In March 2026, a household with musty smells and elevated mold counts wrote that Gary came out, did a thorough inspection, shared what remediation would cost, and then said they could probably handle the problem themselves and showed them how. Giordano Restoration, at 534 Colonel Ledyard Hwy in Ledyard, is run by Gary Giordano, whom a wfsb.com piece names as its owner. The company says it specializes in water damage, mold removal and fire cleanup, offers 24/7 emergency service and is insured, and its site lists CT License #615119CA. Its BBB page shows an A+ grade and accreditation. In an October 2026 review, a buyer who found a home full of mold at the final walkthrough wrote that the company came almost immediately, advised them so they could get credit at closing, and that Gary's team was back the next day removing the mold with vacuums, cleaning surfaces with chemicals, purifying the air and repainting with mold-resistant paint, with mats on the wood floors and plastic on the carpets. Another October 2026 reviewer, whose basement mold had gone undetected, wrote that the team recommended stripping the space to the studs, explained what the couple could do themselves, and spoke with their insurer to keep out-of-pocket costs down; that reviewer names Gary and Tiffany. In an October 2025 review, a Mystic customer with an undetected basement leak and mold wrote that Gary dried the area with industrial dryers and HEPA filters, removed the mold, reinstalled and repainted damaged materials and retested, then handled water damage again when the roof leaked several weeks later. In a December 2025 review, a customer with mold in a master bathroom wrote that Gary answered an email within hours, assessed the house the next day and found several other issues; the reviewer added that his team fed their chickens lunch scraps. In a February 2025 review, a customer whose leaking chimney had caused mold behind a living room wall, which led to finding asbestos in the flooring, wrote that Gary helped file the insurance claim and referred contractors. In a 2023 review, a family that called Gary to check basement tile for asbestos wrote that he found mold, then asbestos in the drywall, and that the work took the house down to the studs and rebuilt it over almost a year. In an October 2024 review, a parent with a two-week-old newborn wrote that Gary, told about the baby, came within an hour on a Saturday instead of Monday and sealed the affected areas. On Google, the company holds a 5-star average from 86 ratings.
“Gary Giordano, owner of Giordano Restoration, said homeowners should start by moving snow away from their homes.”
“At a home in Ledyard, Giordano’s crew was cleaning up a soggy sunroom caused by a small crack in a copper pipe.”
Gary and the team at Giordano Restoration were fantastic to work with. We needed prompt assistance with moisture evaluation and proactive remediation in our home, and they handled everything with absolute professionalism. Gary was responsive, communicative, and transparent about the process from day one. His crew was respectful of our home, punctual, and left everything spotless and thoroughly certified. Highly recommend Giordano Restoration for anyone needing fast, reliable, high-quality home water remediation and restoration.
There is “good,” there is “great,” and there is exceptional. Gary and the entire staff at Giordano are exceptional! When I recently bought a home and found it full of mold during the final walkthrough, I called Giordano. Realizing the urgency, they were there almost immediately and advised me so I could get credit at the closing for the mold remediation, and on to the real work. Again realizing I needed to move in quickly, Gary’s team were there the next day tackling the issue. They applied a multi-technique attack with the utmost of care for my property. Mats on the wood floors, plastic on the carpets, took their shoes off as was customary in my home. They are VERY thorough in their treatment, which included removing the mold with vacuums, cleaning the surfaces with chemicals to kill any remaining, and purifying the air to remove any “baby mold” (spores). I have no doubt I will be breathing clean air! After all is finished, the team repainted with mold resistant paint to ensure a beautiful, lasting finish. You may have a lot of choices when it comes to Restoration services, but Giordano is the only right choice. You’ll be incredibly happy to made that call!!
TLDR: Working with Gary and his team felt like working with family. Choose them if your priorities are working with good people, getting a truly expert job done, and keeping costs as reasonable as possible. Summary: They were top-notch professionals, experts in their field who had the unique talent of explaining niche concepts at an easy-to-understand level, helped us do what we could ourselves to save costs, and they genuinely cared about us as people, not just their clients. - Responsible - Reliable - Personable - Expert - Compassionate - Determined - Personalized approach We reached out to Gary and his team when we found out our basement was invested with mold that had passed out detection until it was too late. Ultimately, the team recommended completely stripping our space down the studs. They helped us understand what was within our capabilities to do ourselves, to include the pros and cons of DIY mitigation, instead of insisting they had to do everything (they did 99% of it – but educating us instead of bullying us into that choice like other places we interviewed for the job meant a lot to us). The weeks’ worth of work they did end up doing in our basement left the basement so clean I would’ve eaten a peanut butter a jelly off the floor if it fell open face down. Not only that, but they invested so much time and effort into speaking with our insurance to keep our out of pocket costs down. Every time Gary & Tiffany came to our house to work or check up on things, they spent time talking to us. Getting to know us. Calmy answering questions and making sure we weren’t overwhelmed by everything (this was a huge project for young, new homeowners to have suddenly fall on our laps!). Frequently, they would reach out just to say, “you doing okay? This is a lot.” The ideal contractor for us is someone who doesn’t make us choose between competency and compassion. These were some of the most genuine people we’ve met, and they were also undeniable top-notch experts in their profession. I will recommend them every time. And they were nice to our dog. That’s always a huge plus.
Giordano Restoration was wonderful to work with ! Every person was professional and helpful.
Gary and his team did an amazing job on my basement and bathroom. They made the process easy, understandable, and painless. They were very informative throughout the job and gave great recommendations on post remediation. This was a great experience for my family to get some emergent work done, and I highly recommend using Giordano Restoration.
