Our roots began in the mold remediation and testing field in 2003, with mold detection dogs. Our main focus soon shifted from testing service to mold removal and remediation. However, we not only focus on the cleanup, removal, and prevention of mold in your home or building. Our overall goal is to give you a whole building diagnostic to determine the root causes of the mold issues, and develop a solid and extensive plan to effectively eliminate and prevent any future mold, moisture, and indoor air quality concerns from re-developing after the initial work is done. There are too many companies in this field that fail to address the root causes, and after a period of time has passed since cleanup, mold growth, water intrusion, and/or indoor air quality issues return. We make sure the job is done right, and complete the first time.

My brother and I have been in the restoration business for many years. Working for a few restoration companies we saw all the shortcomings that many restoration companies have. We realized that we could improve on these and be held to a higher standard then our competition. Something as simple as having integrity and respect for our customers homes goes a long way. That is why we started this company. To "Brighten" someone's day in a disaster is what we strive for. Serving our customers like they are family.
Oregon law requires all contractors and subcontractors performing work in the state of Oregon to be licensed.
Licensed contractors are bonded and insured and can be more easily held accountable in the event of a problem. Should you need information about whether your Mold Removal contractor is to be licensed, contact Consumer Help Center by 503-378-4621. The most accurate way to find a license is with the CCB (Oregon Construction Contractors Board) license number. Contractors must include this number on their advertisements, including brochures, websites, and business cards. Ask your contractor for the number and verify contractor's recent history of disciplinary actions on https://www.ccb.state.or.us/search/ yourself if necessary.
