What a legitimate job actually looks like, so you can tell real remediation from a rushed upsell.
Understanding how mold remediation works is the best protection a homeowner or manager has against paying too much for too little.

- Containing the work area to avoid spreading spores
- Removing affected materials rather than just painting over them
- Verifying the result before calling the job done
