What it costs

Every job is different, so these are the typical Massachusetts ranges. They are planning numbers, not a quote. Your price depends on how much mold there is, where it is, and what caused it.
A single moldy spot, a closet, or under a sink. The crew seals it off, removes it, and treats the surface.
A bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom with mold on a wall or ceiling, plus the moisture source fixed.
Larger areas that need more containment and drying. Common here after spring rain or a slow leak.
Mold across several rooms or after major water damage. The work runs in phases, room by room.
