Secure Restoration

Secure Restoration carries a 4.8-star rating across 263 Google reviews, which matters in Asheville where homes built around 1979 face real moisture challenges. With 73% average humidity and 37 inches of annual rainfall, older houses here are prone to mold problems. That kind of consistent rating suggests the company has handled the damp-climate issues local homeowners actually deal with. Before you call, know that a standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs $200 to $600, so you'll want to confirm pricing upfront.

North Carolina doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so verify that any contractor you hire holds a general contractor's license from the NCLBGC and carries proper insurance. One important note: Secure Restoration is listed as a mold inspector, and industry standards flag a conflict of interest when the same company both inspects for mold and performs the remediation work. Ask whether they'll provide an independent inspection or if they handle both services in-house, so you understand how that relationship might affect their recommendations.
