Pulliam Restoration

Many Columbia homeowners skip the licensing check when hiring for mold work, assuming any contractor can handle it. While South Carolina doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, you'll want to verify that whoever you hire holds an active SC Contractor's Licensing Board license and carries proper insurance. Given that Columbia's humidity averages 69% and older homes (the median here was built in 1977) are especially vulnerable to mold growth, choosing a qualified contractor matters. Pulliam Restoration comes recommended with a 4.9-star rating and operates right here in Columbia, so you can feel confident about who's entering your home.

Before you sign anything with Pulliam Restoration or anyone else, ask to see proof of their current SC Contractor's Licensing Board license and insurance certificates. A typical mold remediation project in this area runs between $1,200 and $3,550, so get a detailed estimate in writing and understand exactly what's included. Don't let cost alone drive your decision - a properly licensed contractor who can show their credentials is worth the peace of mind.
