Paul Davis

Before hiring anyone for mold work in Wilmington, check three things: verify they hold a valid general contractor's license from the NCLBGC, confirm they carry appropriate insurance, and ask whether they'll be doing the inspection, remediation, or both. That last point matters because inspectors who also perform the cleanup work have a built-in conflict of interest - they're incentivized to find problems that require their services. Given Wilmington's humidity and rainfall, mold can definitely be a real concern in homes here, especially in older properties like many of the ones built around 1987.

Paul Davis operates as a mold inspector in Wilmington, so you'll want to clarify upfront whether they're recommending a separate remediation contractor or if they handle both sides. A standalone inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and should give you an unbiased assessment of what you're dealing with. Before you sign anything, ask Paul Davis in writing who would be performing any remediation work they recommend - and whether that person or company is affiliated with their inspection business.
