- We schedule an inspection and give an arrival window.
- We explain the scope and price in writing after the visit.
We do not promise a specific response time before we know your situation. Call (352) 668-9909 and tell us what you see.
Outside the area
If you are farther away
If you are outside our usual area, call anyway. We can often answer a question over the phone, send you checklists and refer you to a licensed contractor near you. Remember to verify any contractor on the Florida license lookup. See how to check a Florida mold license.
Local rules
Things that vary by location
City of Gainesville and Alachua County offices handle building permits, code enforcement and some environmental questions. Condo associations and HOAs can have their own work rules, such as approved hours, elevator reservations and contractor insurance requirements. Tell us where the property is so we can plan around them.
Examples
Typical calls by area
- A roof-leak ceiling stain in a 1930s Duckpond bungalow
- An AC drain overflow and closet mold in a Haile Plantation home
- Bathroom and bedroom mold in a student rental near campus
- Water damage and musty smell in a northwest Gainesville duplex
- A storm-flooded garage and wall base in a low-lying neighborhood
Each of these has a different cause and a different fix. Describe yours when you call.
Access
Gated communities, condos and campuses
Gated communities, condominiums, apartment complexes and campus-area buildings often require advance permission, insurance certificates or a property manager’s approval before work begins. Give us the contact for the gate, association or manager when you call. We can send our insurance details ahead and plan around quiet hours, elevator reservations and parking rules.

FAQ
Mold remediation in Gainesville: your questions
How much does mold remediation cost in Gainesville, FL?
It depends on how much material comes out, how wet the structure is and how hard the area is to reach. Published Florida guides put a single moderate room at roughly $1,500 to $6,000; the cost table lists the other job types and where the figures come from. Ask for an itemized written quote and compare line by line, not just the total.
Can the same company test for mold and remove it?
Not on the same structure within 12 months. Florida Statutes section 468.8419 bars an assessor from remediating a property it assessed in the last 12 months, and a remediator from assessing one it remediated. The law also bars them from paying each other for referrals.
How long does mold remediation take?
It depends on the size of the job and how long the structure takes to dry. The written scope should give you a schedule.
