Mold removal is the physical cleanup of visible mold. Mold remediation includes that cleanup plus finding and fixing the moisture source that caused it, so the mold doesn't just come back in a few months. Every project we take on covers both.
It depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Coverage is more likely when the damage results from a sudden, covered event like a burst pipe or storm, and less likely when it stems from a gradual issue like a long-term leak or humidity. We can help document the damage for a claim either way.
Most residential mold and water damage jobs take three to seven days, depending on how much area is affected and whether repair or rebuild work follows the initial cleanup. We'll give you a specific timeline after the free inspection.
Often, yes, especially when the affected area is contained and isolated from the rest of the home. It depends on which rooms are involved and whether anyone in the household has respiratory sensitivities. We'll walk you through what to expect for your specific job during the inspection.
Yes. Independent lab testing through ProLab, a third-party environmental testing partner, is available before work starts to confirm what you're dealing with, and again afterward as post-remediation clearance testing to confirm the space is back within a normal range.
Both. We're an in-house general contractor, so the same crew that handles remediation can also rebuild what came out, drywall, flooring, trim, cabinetry, and more, without you having to line up a second contractor once the cleanup is done.
Flooring, painting, trim carpentry, custom cabinetry and woodwork, custom stairs, and kitchen and bathroom renovations, plus general property repairs and maintenance, demolition, and junk removal. Most of it is handled in-house.
Not to manage it yourself. Our own crew handles the vast majority of the work in-house; only heavy electrical, heavy plumbing, and heavy roofing are subcontracted, and we coordinate those specialists directly as part of the project.
Yes. Beyond one-time restoration and repair projects, we handle ongoing property maintenance for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who want a single crew they can call on a recurring basis.
Everything from targeted interior demolition, like tearing out a moldy bathroom or a water-damaged kitchen, to full structural teardowns, all handled by the same in-house crew that does our restoration and renovation work.
Yes. Junk removal is available as a standalone service, not just as cleanup at the end of a remediation or renovation job.
Mold-affected material that can't be safely cleaned, like drywall, insulation, or subfloor, is bagged and sealed on-site before removal to keep spores from spreading, then hauled and disposed of properly along with any other demolition or renovation debris.
It depends on the size of the affected area, what caused it, and what it takes to fix it, so we don't publish flat rates. We offer a free, no-obligation inspection and quote so you know the real cost for your specific situation before any work begins.
