Provider snapshot
What this listing says
Vancouver WA homeowners selling a property where the buyer's inspector flagged attic mold and the remediation needs to happen fast before closing.
Best for
- Homeowners in the Vancouver WA to Portland corridor who need attic mold removed before a real estate closing on a tight deadline.
- Property investors or managers with multi-unit buildings who need a single company to handle remediation across commercial spaces.
- Buyers or sellers who want a lifetime warranty on mold remediation work rather than a time-limited guarantee.
About this company
NW Mold Removal operates out of Vancouver, Washington, and covers the Portland-Seattle corridor across both Oregon and Washington. They started in 2003 with mold detection dogs before shifting their focus to remediation. They hold contractor licenses in both states.
They use non-toxic, water-based products and offer a lifetime warranty against mold regrowth on remediation work. Their website describes HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, and dehumidifier use on jobs. They also install air exchange units designed to reduce allergens, radon, and odors. One unusual offering: preventative mold coatings applied to raw building materials during new construction.
The company handles both residential and commercial work. One website case study describes a large condo remediation in downtown Seattle after a sewer backup, involving drywall removal, containment, and drying across multiple floors. They also mention vehicle mold cleaning, which few competitors offer.

Review consensus
Pete is the name that shows up repeatedly. Reviewers describe him as responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to explain what he is doing and why. Multiple reviewers specifically mention fast turnarounds tied to real estate closings. Gregg handled at least one attic job and arrived early. Several reviewers note competitive pricing, with one reviewer (Howard Fan) saying other companies used scare tactics while NW Mold Removal was straightforward. The company also helped one out-of-state owner (Himanshu Jain) handle the entire process including insurance negotiation.
0 found across 29 total reviews at 4.5★. No 1-star reviews found. The company has zero negative reviews in the last 18 months across 29 total reviews at 4.5 stars. The lowest rating in the dataset is a single 4-star review from Kevin Allen in 2014, who was positive overall but noted a tight timeline.
A large share of reviews come from real estate transactions where mold was found during a buyer's inspection. This suggests the company has built referral relationships with real estate agents and home inspectors. Bernard Gehret, a principal broker, and Renee Harper of Keller Williams both left testimonials. The company appears to have a niche as the go-to remediation provider when a deal is on the line and turnaround time matters.
Pete (owner/operator — praised repeatedly for responsiveness, knowledge, fair pricing, and willingness to explain the process). Gregg (field technician — praised for punctuality and quality work on an attic job).
Ask for Pete by name. He is the person most reviewers dealt with and the one who generated the positive reputation. If your situation involves a real estate closing, this company has a track record of meeting tight deadlines. Get an independent mold test before accepting their remediation scope, since they do both testing and remediation.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and remediation, which creates a conflict of interest. The same company that tells you there is a problem profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent inspection before committing to their remediation scope.
- Their service area claim spans from Portland to Seattle, roughly 175 miles. Ask whether your location falls in their regular service territory or if travel fees apply.
- 29 reviews over more than a decade is a low volume. The 4.5-star rating is based on a small sample, so a single bad experience would shift it noticeably.
- The website copyright reads 2018 and contains placeholder text meant for a web developer. This does not reflect poorly on their field work, but the online presence is dated.
