Black Mold!!!! Home remedies or just let the Pros handle it?

I'm rehabbing my first deal, I paid cash for and the back half of the house (approx. 450 sq/ft), has black mold under the baseboards and on the floor under the laminate I just removed. The source is a bad roof which will be replaced prior to any other rehabbing. Any home remedies or do you just leave it to the professionals?

Without question, let the pros handle it. If it's under the baseboards, then it is probably creeping up inside the walls as well as going under the laminate. This is too big for an amateur. Knowing it was done right, and getting rid of the liability dread is worth much more than the cost of professional remediation.
