Get quotes from licensed mold pros in Naples

Naples FL Mold Remediation is a free quote and referral service. We connect Naples and Collier County homeowners with Florida-licensed mold assessors and remediators. We are not a mold company and don’t do the work ourselves; licensed local pros do.

Mold in Naples rarely shows up at a convenient time. It might be a musty smell when you open up a seasonal condo in November, dark spots behind a vanity after a slow leak, or swollen baseboards in a home that took water during a storm. Whatever you’re seeing, the first step is the same: find the moisture source and get a clear, written plan from someone licensed to do the work in Florida.

Fill out the short form above (or our free quote page) with where you see mold, roughly how large the area is, and whether it’s a house or a condo. We’ll follow up and help you get quotes so you can compare scopes and prices side by side. See how getting quotes works or check typical prices in our mold remediation cost guide.

Why mold is so common in Naples

Southwest Florida’s climate, storm history and housing mix all work in mold’s favor. Here is what the data shows.

A long, humid wet season

NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals for Naples Municipal Airport show 49.55 inches of rain a year, and June through September brings 32.67 inches of it, about 66% of the total. Our own calculation from NOAA hourly observations (2015–2024) found the dew point at or above 70°F in roughly 93% to 99% of hours from June to September. Air that moist keeps drywall, closets and AC systems damp unless the air conditioning keeps up.

Hurricane Ian and Irma

During Ian on September 28, 2022, the Naples Pier gauge reached 6.18 ft above MHHW before the station was destroyed, and the National Hurricane Center reported maximum inundation of 6 to 9 ft above ground in Naples and 8 to 12 ft in North Naples. NWS Miami put Collier County damage at $2.2 billion, including $989 million in the City of Naples. Irma made landfall on Marco Island in 2017 and left over 90% of customers without power for more than a week. Wet walls and weeks without AC are when mold takes hold. See hurricane and storm-surge mold.

Homes that sit closed up for months

Census data (ACS 2024 5-year, table B25004) shows about 40.8% of all housing units in the City of Naples and 49.2% on Marco Island are vacant for seasonal, recreational or occasional use. County-wide that is 59,512 units. A closed-up home with the AC set too high can grow mold through a humid summer with nobody there to notice. See seasonal and second-home mold.

Condos and shared walls

About 59.9% of housing units in the City of Naples are in buildings with five or more units, and Pelican Bay is at 70.4% (ACS 2024 5-year). In multi-unit buildings, a leak in one unit can reach the next, and repairs often involve the association. Collier County says all multi-family buildings need a permit for any work performed after a storm. See condo and HOA mold.

Florida’s mold license rules, in plain terms

Two rules shape every mold job in Naples. Knowing them helps you hire the right people.

A state license above 10 square feet

Florida Statutes s. 468.8411 defines mold assessment and mold remediation as work involving mold growth of more than 10 square feet, and Florida requires a state license to perform or offer to perform that work. EPA’s mold guide says that if the moldy area is less than about 10 square feet, homeowners can usually handle the job themselves. According to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), only individuals are licensed, not businesses.

The assessor and remediator are usually separate

Under s. 468.8419, a mold assessor may not perform or offer remediation on a structure it assessed within the last 12 months, and the remediator rule mirrors it. So the company that assesses your home and the company that remediates it are typically separate companies. The statute exempts Division I certified contractors.

Before you hire: ask any company for its Florida license number and verify it at MyFloridaLicense.com. This is general information, not legal advice.

How it works

Three simple steps. Full details are on our process page.

    We usually reply the same day and help connect you with Florida-licensed assessors and remediators who serve your area.

  3. Compare and choose

Naples mold questions

Short answers to common questions. More in our full FAQ.

Do I need a licensed company for mold in Naples?

Usually, yes. Florida Statutes s. 468.8411 defines mold assessment and mold remediation as work on mold growth of more than 10 square feet, and the state requires a license to perform or offer that work. EPA's mold guide says homeowners can usually handle areas smaller than about 10 square feet. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can the same company test and remove my mold?

Under s. 468.8419, a mold assessor generally may not remediate a structure it assessed within the last 12 months, and a remediator may not assess a structure it is remediating. In practice the assessor and remediator are typically separate companies, except Division I certified contractors, who the statute exempts. This is general information, not legal advice.

How much does mold remediation cost in Naples?

Cost guides list typical national ranges of $1,200 to $3,750 for a typical job, with This Old House averaging about $2,300 and Fixr about $3,500. Per square foot, expect roughly $10 to $30. These are estimates, not quotes. Your actual price comes from a licensed pro's on-site assessment of your home.

Who handles mold in a Naples condo, the owner or the association?

It depends on where the water came from, your declaration and the insurance split in Florida Statutes s. 718.111(11). Under s. 718.113(1), maintaining common elements is the association's job, while s. 718.111(11)(f) leaves items such as wall and floor coverings to the unit owner. This is not legal advice; ask your association's attorney.

Do you do the mold work yourselves?

No. We are a free quote and referral service, not a mold company, and we don't perform any assessment or remediation. We connect Naples and Collier County homeowners with Florida-licensed mold assessors and remediators. Ask any company for its Florida license number and verify it at MyFloridaLicense.com before hiring.

How fast will I hear back?

We usually reply the same day. Tell us what you're seeing, roughly how large the area is, and whether it's a house or condo, and we'll help you get quotes from licensed local pros. If you have standing water or an active leak, stop the water source first if it is safe to do so.
