Best Mold Remediation Companies in Florida

Florida is one of five jurisdictions that issue a license specifically for mold work, which means a Florida company can be checked against a government record in a way most of the country cannot. Every company below meets two conditions: a Google rating of 4.5 or higher, and at least one Florida mold license that is currently active and free of disciplinary flags.

Those two things are not the same, and a high rating does not imply the second. Across the Florida mold license records we hold, 36.4% have lapsed. A company can be excellent at the work and still be trading on an expired license, which is why the number and its expiry date are printed on every entry here rather than replaced with a badge.

Why holding both licenses is worth knowing

When the company that tests for mold is also the company paid to remove it, the incentive runs toward finding more mold. Offering both services is legal in Florida, and it is not a reason to avoid the 5 companies above. But under Florida Statute 468.8419, a mold assessor or the assessor’s company may not remediate a building it assessed in the last 12 months, and a remediator or its company may not assess a building it remediated in that time. State-certified general, building and residential contractors are exempt. If a company assesses your home and then offers to do the remediation, ask how that fits the rule, or hire a different company for the remediation.

Texas draws the line differently: a license holder may not do both on the same project, and no one may own an interest in both the company that assesses and the company that remediates it. Our guide to assessors and remediators covers what that separation is worth and what to ask for.

Check any of these yourself

Take a license number from this page, or ask any company for theirs, and look it up against Florida’s own record. It takes about a minute, and you should not have to take anyone’s word for it, including ours.
