What this listing says
Portland-area homeowners and realtors needing attic or crawlspace mold remediation with same-day estimates and published pricing tiers.
Best for
- Portland metro, SW Washington, Salem, or Eugene homeowners who need attic or crawlspace mold removed during a home sale or purchase.
- Realtors who need a remediation company that can schedule fast and deliver documentation for closing deadlines.
- Homeowners who want upfront pricing before committing — their website lists exact inspection fees by area of the home.
- Buyers or sellers dealing with mold flagged during a home inspection who need same-day estimates and quick turnaround.
- Anyone who wants non-destructive mold removal that avoids unnecessary demolition of walls or insulation.
About this company
Next Gen Remediation operates out of Portland, Oregon, and focuses almost entirely on mold remediation for residential properties. Christie Schwab founded the company and still runs it as managing partner alongside a team of project managers and an in-house operations staff. They hold both an Oregon contractor license (CCB# 238371) and a Washington license (NEXTGGR799QK), and the website names Brandon Wood Jr and Alex Cisneros as IICRC WRT holders.
The company emphasizes non-destructive remediation — removing mold without tearing out walls or structure when possible. They break their services into room-specific categories: attic, crawlspace, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room mold removal. Their attic page describes a process using HEPA vacuums, air scrubbers, negative air pressure containment, and antimicrobial treatment, followed by post-remediation testing. They also identify the moisture source — improper exhaust fan venting, roof leaks, condensation — and recommend fixes.
One genuinely unusual detail: they publish their inspection pricing on the website. Attic assessments start at $95, crawlspace at $125, interior at $150, and whole-home inspections run $395-$595 depending on square footage. They waive the fee if you provide photos or an inspection report, and credit part of the inspection cost toward remediation if you hire them.
A perfect 5.0 rating across 158 Google reviews is rare for any service company. Multiple reviewers mention being referred by their realtor, and several realtors have left reviews describing Next Gen as their go-to for transaction-related mold work. That pattern — repeat business from real estate agents — suggests the company delivers reliable results under the time pressure of home closings.
Services
Service area
Next Gen Remediation is based in Portland, Oregon. They service SW Washington, Portland, Salem, and Eugene, and hold contractor licenses in both Oregon (CCB# 238371) and Washington (NEXTGGR799QK). That coverage area stretches roughly 110 miles north-to-south, so scheduling and availability may vary at the edges.
Review consensus
Reviewers consistently highlight three things: fast scheduling (several mention same-day or next-day estimates), competitive pricing compared to other bids, and clear communication from office staff. Annika and Cassie get named for responsive scheduling and follow-up. Cory draws praise for explaining the remediation process and going above and beyond — one reviewer noted he uncovered a roof leak during the job. Brandon gets credit for honest assessments and not upselling. Christie is mentioned for helpfulness in scheduling. Multiple real estate agents describe Next Gen as their repeat go-to, citing reliable turnaround for transaction deadlines. Several reviewers specifically note the company did not push unnecessary work, with one mentioning a competitor had recommended extensive removal that Next Gen deemed unnecessary.
0 found across 158 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews exist in the last 18 months. Across 158 total reviews at 5.0 stars, the company has maintained a spotless record. There are no complaints to analyze.
The review base skews heavily toward real estate transactions. Many reviewers identify as realtors or mention being referred by one. This is a strength — it means the company performs well under deadline pressure — but it also means most reviews reflect a specific use case (transaction-required remediation) rather than complex or large-scale mold problems. Homeowners with unusual or severe mold situations have less review evidence to draw on.
Annika Schwab (operations manager — praised for responsiveness and scheduling). Cory Chasteen (project manager — praised for thoroughness, explaining the process, and catching additional issues). Brandon (project manager — praised for honest assessments and not upselling). Alex Cisneros (project manager — praised for courtesy and workmanship). Christie Schwab (founder/managing partner — praised for scheduling and communication). Cassie Gabbey (office manager — praised for responsiveness and professionalism).
With 158 reviews and a perfect 5.0 rating, Next Gen has an unusually clean track record. The volume of realtor referrals suggests they handle time-sensitive transaction work well. Ask for Cory or Brandon if you want someone who explains the process and avoids upselling. Since they do both inspections and remediation, get an independent mold test first if you want an unbiased scope of work.
Keep in mind
- Next Gen does both mold inspections and remediation. That means the same company diagnosing your mold problem also profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent inspection before committing to their remediation scope.
- Their service area spans Portland to Eugene (about 110 miles) and into SW Washington. Jobs at the edges of that range may face longer scheduling windows or travel fees — ask before booking.
- The website mentions post-remediation testing but does not specify whether a third party conducts it. If the same company tests before and after, that reduces the independence of the results.
- Inspection fees ($95-$595) are waived only if you supply photos or an existing inspection report. Without documentation, you pay upfront even if the visit finds no mold.
