    About Us

    Lightspeed Restoration helps Austin-area homeowners and businesses recover from mold, water, and fire damage. Our goal is to be the best, not the biggest. We’d rather do one job right than three jobs fast. That standard starts with the people we hire, and we invest in them for the long haul.

    Who We’re Looking For

    We’re not hiring someone to fill a slot. We’re looking for someone to build a career with us.

    You take pride in your work. You notice the corner someone else missed, and it bothers you to leave a job less than right.

    You work hard, every day. Restoration is physical, sometimes hot and messy, and you show up ready for it anyway.

    You’re detail-oriented. In mold remediation, a gap in containment or a skipped wipe-down isn’t a small mistake, so you follow procedures exactly.

    You want to grow. You’re looking for a long-term career, not a short-term job, and you want to keep learning and moving up.

    If that sounds like you, we’ll teach you the rest. Restoration experience is a plus, but it’s not required.

    What You’ll Do

    Mold Remediation (a large share of our work)

    Set up and maintain negative-pressure containment per IICRC S520

    Carefully remove and bag affected materials

    HEPA vacuum and detail-clean every surface, and apply antimicrobials and encapsulants

    Operate air filtration devices and keep containment intact from start to finish

    Prepare areas to pass post-remediation verification the first time

    Water Damage Mitigation

    Extract water and set up dehumidifiers, air movers, and air scrubbers

    Take moisture readings and document drying progress

    Perform controlled demolition: carpet, pad, baseboards, drywall, and trim

    On Every Job

    Take thorough photos and notes, because good documentation is part of quality work

    Treat customers and their homes with respect and care

    Keep job sites clean, organized, and safe

    Use proper PPE, respirators, and chemical safety practices

    [Participate in the after-hours emergency on-call rotation]
