Mold remediation

[Mike Vanover]

• I'm looking for a mold remediation contractor in louisville Ky.  I just got a quote for $5000.  Is that about normal?  They said they would have to scrub every inch of the basement.  I would appreciate any contacts. 

  This my first flip so I don't want to make a big mistake. 

  Any help would be appreciated. 

  Thanks,

  Mike

I don't have any contacts for you, just a piece of advice from experience:  call more people.   For a $5K repair, I wouldn't stop until I had at least 5 people through the place.  You'll end up having to call about 15 companies, but you'll learn by talking to people about mold remediation.   Sometimes you just gotta work the phones.  

Also, keep in mind whether or not you'll need some sort of certificate or proof the remediation's been done.  If you dont, great.  But if you do, be sure youre gonna get this upfront to avoid a headache when/if you sell if youre going to need it.  If youre going to ask me how do you know if you need it, dont want to say on the open forum!  o_O
