First Light Restoration, A Division of Kustom

Many Louisville homeowners skip the step of verifying a mold contractor's credentials, assuming that anyone advertising mold removal knows what they're doing. Here's the catch: Kentucky doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so it's on you to check that a contractor holds IICRC certification and carries both general liability and pollution liability insurance. First Light Restoration, A Division of Kustom understands this gap and can show you exactly what qualifications they bring to the job.

Louisville's humid climate (averaging 69% relative humidity and 45 inches of rain annually) means mold problems aren't rare, especially in older homes like the median Louisville house built in 1966. When you're ready to address mold, you'll want a contractor with solid experience and a track record you can trust. Before you sign anything, ask to see proof of their IICRC certification and insurance policies, and verify that coverage includes pollution liability for mold work.
