Rainbow Restoration of Greater Portland

Portland's damp climate - averaging 72% relative humidity and 47 inches of rain annually - creates ideal conditions for mold growth. That risk is especially pronounced in older homes, and with the median Portland house built in 1950, many residents are dealing with aging structures vulnerable to moisture problems. Rainbow Restoration of Greater Portland specializes in mold remediation and can help you assess whether you're facing a real issue or just the normal dampness that comes with living here.

If you're ready to move forward, verify that any contractor you hire holds a valid contractor license and appropriate insurance coverage. While Maine doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, look for IICRC S520 certification, which shows they've met national standards. A typical remediation project in this area runs between $1200 and $3800, so get a detailed estimate before committing to any work.
