Total Restoration

A 5-star rating across 231 Google reviews tells you that Total Restoration has satisfied a lot of customers, but it doesn't tell you everything. What matters more is whether the contractor is properly registered with Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection and carries appropriate insurance - those details matter when something goes wrong. For mold work specifically, look for IICRC S520 certification, which shows real training in remediation standards. In Hartford, where homes average over 70 years old and the climate brings 44 inches of rain annually, you want someone who knows what they're doing.

Mold thrives in older homes, and Hartford's damp conditions create the perfect environment. If you're comparing quotes, know that a typical project in this area runs between $1600 and $4950 depending on the scope. Before you hire Total Restoration or anyone else, verify their registration status with the state and ask to see proof of their IICRC certification and insurance coverage - get it in writing before any work begins.
