Serclean

A high review count tells you that a lot of people have hired a contractor, but it doesn't tell you whether they're right for your specific situation. What matters more is checking their credentials and understanding what you're actually paying for. In Athens, where humidity averages 72% and rainfall hits 46 inches yearly, mold can be a real problem in older homes - the median house here was built in 1986. Before you call anyone, know that Georgia doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so look for contractors with IICRC S520 certification and both general liability and pollution liability insurance.

When you're ready to get quotes, Serclean and other local firms should be able to give you a ballpark figure (typical projects in this area run $1300-$3950) and explain exactly what they'll do. Don't just go with the cheapest option or the one with the most reviews. Instead, ask each contractor to show you their insurance certificates and certifications before you sign anything, and get a detailed scope of work in writing.
