Appalachian Restoration and Cleaning

Before hiring anyone for mold work in Asheville, confirm they hold a valid general contractor's license from the NCLBGC and carry appropriate insurance - this protects you if something goes wrong. Second, understand that inspectors who also do the remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest, so getting an independent inspection first is worth considering. Third, know that a standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region, so you'll have a sense of fair pricing. Asheville's humid climate (averaging 73% relative humidity) creates conditions where mold problems aren't uncommon, especially in older homes like many built around 1979 when the median Asheville house was constructed.

Appalachian Restoration and Cleaning carries strong reviews from local customers. When you contact them or any contractor, ask upfront whether they're providing an inspection, remediation, or both - and if they're doing both, ask why you shouldn't get a separate inspector first. Before signing any agreement, verify their contractor's license number with the NCLBGC and confirm their insurance is current.
